Here it is:

. But I don't quite like it. Ilari: if the question was, what MY icons mean, it was the electrick charge sprite from SM. EDIT: adelikat's suggestion:

Note that we must distinguish the flag from the Stars tier, which for now matches both words you suggest :D

I suddenly think Gimmick must be in that list. Though the game is not famous at all, it appears as a TAS gem and it's unique features get abused insanely well. It has a deep and complicated engine and really conduct the sense of TASing the gameplay way.

Since the meaning of Stars, Recommended and Newbie-attention has been mixed together and pulled apart several times over, and there was the decision to make SOME flag that would mark runs for newcomers to check out first and get the idea of TASing, we need to name that flag somehow and to give it an icon. That flag would list only a few runs that are of the best known games that have the most impressive tricks (still not glitched to death). This would help to separate Newbie-rec and Star categories and avoid excluding too similar but still star-worthy runs from star tier (which is an untier yet). About icon, my proposition was these 2 things, that are actually small enough, and have the meaning "this run will charge and blow your mind". I like the left one more.

People also suggested this

info box from Super Mario World, but I find it too indefinite. Please suggest more icons and a name for this flag. EDIT: the approxiomate list of others' suggestions for that flag http://pastebin.com/yzAaaciW.

A year ago AnS said me that improving tons of runs hands down would be the best advertisment for TASEditor. Looks like this started happening.

I think movie and submission descriptions shall be rated and listed somewhere, not flagged. A well as forum posts. Simply as on YT: +/-.

A wiki-style definition for a frame war is: An event when some relatively simple game is unexpectedy brought to a really high level of frame perfectness. Several people appeared to be interested in TASing it at the same time, but they didn't co-operate, they competed instead. A frame war is a chain of several quick obsoletions, sometimes they are only submitted, sometimes they also occur right in the forum treads, where the competers post WIPs improving each other several times. What can be considered several times? I don't know, I just can point to the framewars I remember: #3461: fiskerN's NES Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2 "1player, Dale" in 17:18.47 #3472: goofydylan8's NES Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2 "1player, Dale" in 16:33.20 #3547: fiskerN's NES Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2 "1 player" in 16:24.83 #3569: feos's NES Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2 "1 player" in 15:48.17 #3597: feos's NES Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2 "1 player" in 15:13.80 An initial crappy movie ended up as a long obsoletion chain. #3690: TheZlomuS & DyLaX's NES Battletoads "Glitched" in 01:02.68 #3707: Marx's NES Battletoads "glitched" in 01:01.42 #3710: TheZlomuS & DyLaX's NES Battletoads "Glitched" in 00:58.07 #3750: MESHUGGAH's NES Battletoads "Glitched" in 00:56.94 A bunch of quick WIPs from the submitters were also posted in their threads. #3171: Aqfaq's Genesis Bible Adventures "Baby Moses" in 02:02.07 #3173: NitroGenesis's Genesis Bible Adventures "Baby Moses" in 02:01.40 #3181: Aglar's Genesis Bible Adventures "Baby Moses" in 02:00.37 The people's response changed from No to Yes through those improvements. #3604: Kyman's GB The Addams Family in 01:44.98 #3629: NitroGenesis's GB The Addams Family in 01:44.48 #3659: Kyman's GB The Addams Family in 01:36.05 Didn't follow.

Yeah, I think Guga would be happy if I snapped the first level. But even HIS publication of that branch had a post-movie snap (I changed it to another one, also post-movie). Guga? Also I don't understand people deadly stuck to some rules which seem to suppress creativity. Being different, as in new, the unexpected, is a part of it. If you allow SOME freedom in creative things (TASing is an art, not just a sport), it inspires innovative solutions from the unexpected place, which spurs overall development.

Frame wars occur for relatively simple games, this flag is not EQUAL to perfectness, it's something different, it's about the even, where people were having fun.

Also cool idea with the music moves. We are going to need a redesign of the publication page to keep all flags it may need. About the framewar: I personally think the framewar means people were competing in getting the best result, and it DOES mean the certain level of perfectness that ONE TASer would not achieve (no competition/motivation). Also the very frame war event is cool and notable, ideally every flagged movie provides the links to submissions that took part in it. Glitched Battlotoads were the case when the frame war was going on right in the submission thread.

Let's not use this thread for flag maintenance requests, this is just about ideas. We should have a thread dedicated to these types of posts.

Having one sticky thread for all flags maintenance is more handy than having 5 threads constantly drowning among others.
