I would like to call attention to
http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7687
The first PSX TAS. Notice the following:
A. There isn't that much debate on whether or not it should have been accepted. Most of the controversy in the topic stems from whether or not a non-glitched run should be made, or whether a bug was fixed in the US version.
B. There is no possible conflict of interest, while the NSMB run has no short amount of controversy over that.
C. Very few people claim the run can be improved, while many people, including some who are very familiar claim the NSMB run could be improved easy. The possible improvements don't fall under a newly discovered and/or very obscure trick, either. Some of the mistakes in the run are amateurish as hell,
and would be grounds for rejection in other cases. See the saving.
D. Few people give the excuse "Well, it's the first run of the system, therefore it should be accepted." As noted earlier, this goes against
http://tasvideos.org/Moozooh/MostPopularExcuses.html, specifically 1a.
Now, tell me straight to my face that this run should have been accepted. It shouldn't have been, and any attempt otherwise is either lying to yourself, or others.
I'm going to state my bias here. I liked the movie. It was very entertaining to me. However, this topic has shown exactly what was wrong with it, and why it should not be accepted. Anything less is frankly a betrayal of this site's very purpose.
And once again, I call for a permanent ban of adelikat, or at least a permanent demotion. This should never be tolerated here.
I am most likely going to bow out of this debate, as I have little reason to believe I could state my case better(I think in a twisted form of how Yoda talks. Typing up a post like this is incredibly difficult, and tires me out considerably). I will post again if anyone tries to refute my points, however.
