PM adelikat or Nach. I looked into it, but half-admins can't provide a name change. EDIT: Also, take a look here

Fact: If we do just go on without the reset, MupenPlus will come out like a week after we finish the run. Fact: As much as you may deny it, if someone submitted a near-identical run which used a reset instead of a deathwarp, it would be published, which is a huge slap in the face.
You're forgetting one thing: there has to be an author who will dedicate time to making a run as optimized as a non-save warp run. And given all the shit you two know about the game, that'll be hard to do [/gratuitous ego boost]

Having someone vote no because they don't like a specific genre plays as big of a role in my decision making as someone voting no on every submission because they don't like video games in general :P (i.e. Not at all)

Me either. The point I'm trying to get across is that, by and large, if someone submits an entertaining movie, it has a very good chance of being accepted. I won't lie and say there are never exceptions, but they are the exception, not the rule. Back on topic now, I suppose.

...do you really think we are overreacting? Come on, be rational. And that's the problem. No one can predict if a different goal should be accepted by the admins, so no "new" movies.
No, you're not overreacting, and I never said you were. I said you were over-exaggerating and providing generalizations. Just like you continue to do so by saying we won't have any "new" movies because "No one can predict if a different goal should be accepted by the admins".

Do you happen to mean "They just got their due drama" or perhaps "They just got there with some extra drama"? Because that sentence really doesn't make sense to me. And if it's the first one... how is that bad, exactly? I'm sorry, I'm really confused as to what you're saying.

Oh, I totally agree with you on this point, but it has been made clear in this thread, by the guys in charge, that this isn't the position of the site currently. I hope that changes, but we can't force someone to embrace those ideals, no matter how well we argue them.
Isn't bringing back some publication-worthy runs the exact opposite of what Acheron86 was saying?

For those of us keeping score at home, but too lazy to do the comparisons ourselves, how much faster is this than the published movie?

I finally got a chance to sit down and watch this, and all I can say is: You rock my socks, Lord Tom. This run becomes all the more entertaining after having tried to work with the game and figure out all the small idiosyncrasies, only to be bitchslapped by Samus herself. This is truly a work to be proud of.

Competition is healthy, as long as neither side takes things too seriously. HappyLee seems to be, but that's hardly anyones fault but his own. In the end, I just hope that the more entertaining movie wins out

I think Upthorn's suggestions make the most sense, but with the recent influx of crap/troll/joke submissions (a dozen in a month now, I think?) I say that we should restrict new users to 3 submissions a week.
bad idea, a lot of ppls who like tases never bother registering until they actualy make tases... if a frame war begin with a new user, the 3 submission rule might get in his way...
That is highly unlikely to ever happen.

Voting no. I think this game (or maybe just the character used) does not have enough variety to make an entertaining TAS. Constant corner juggles get old after the second one, and being limited to use of one character really hurts the entertainment value.

I was going to reject this outright, but as it's one player and not two, I'll let it ride for a little while. In regards to post count at X posts in order to submit, people didn't seem to like the idea when I [URL=http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=206586#206586] suggested the same thing a week ago[/URL].

I enjoyed watching this and will accept it. However, why does the submission file go until the "Save to file 1" screen? I think a more acceptable place to end would be right before the credits roll. However, I guess it does show your final time at the end, so I suppose it was just personal preference.

Agreed, they are completely useless. There are much more entertaining "one-track" movies in YouTube, and lots of them too.

Emphasis mine. Call it whatever you like, if these movies were submitted today, they would quickly get rejected for not completing the game.

Hi white gastra, glad to hear you're working on an improvement. Please do me a favor and change your avatar to one that conforms to site rules, 100 x 100 pixels. Thanks!

Ferret: Its being brought up because the idea tends to crop up about three times a year in various submissions, and I wanted a thread to discuss it in the appropriate place, when the talk is not centered around a specific movie. moozooh: There certainly is a relationship between how popular a game is and how highly it gets rated, however I don't think that the inverse in true; very unpopular games don't always get rated extremely poorly. Even if no one has ever heard of a game, if the movie is mildly amusing it tends to attract lots of 5s for entertainment. For a game to get really bad ratings for entertainment, it is usually pretty awful.

I believe that was ShinyDoofy who fixed the ratings page, so all thanks should go to him. And yeah, that list is by no means all enclusive, just a starter, like you said.

Movie statstics isn't broken anymore, so take a look [URL=http://tasvideos.org/MovieStatistics/LowestEntertainmentRating.html] here.[/URL] 22 movie, or 3.5% of our total movie base, are currently rated under 4 for entertainment. Again, just use this list as idea for possible candidates, this is still just a discussion about the pros and cons. Edit: There are a lot more movies under 4.5 than I thought

Since the inception of this site, the concept of deleting a publication and effectively removing it from the archive has been brought up several times, with several motives, and it has ultimately been rejected as a viable option. Now that the site is under new management, I would like to hear opinions as to whether this would be a beneficial idea to implement, much in the same way that we brought some movies back from the dead. Note that by making this topic I do not intend to further push for the implementation of this idea unless public opinion approves of it. So, why would we want to delete some movies from our records? Firstly, I believe that a couple movies do not conform to the site standards as they have evolved, specifically runs which do not complete a full game. Secondly, there are several games which may not provide the entertainment that our viewers demand. A short list of possible candidates was selected simply by picking movies currently with <4.5 entertainment rating. I realize there have been complaints in the past about the reliability of ratings, and this list is by no means a condemnation for any individual run, nor a suggestion by myself that they should be obsoleted. This is perhaps the best way to easily showcase which runs are currently "bottom of the barrel". Thirdly, if people do support this idea and it later becomes implemented, any game that is unpublished would by no means be forever "banished"... if another run is submitted that people find entertaining, it would receive equal treatment as a new run, without prejudiced treatment due to a prior run. I realize there are some people here who believe this site should be some sort of "hall of records", where any game is publication worthy. However, when I joined the site, there was an implied feeling of quality surrounding the published movies, that they were chosen for a reason, and that reason was that they are entertaining. But, just like good submissions slip through the cracks to the grue, bad submissions can slip through the cracks and become published. The question is, should they stay there? Anyway, that's my soap box. What do other people think?
