I'm a bit on the fence about it - as I said, I find the "ending point" somewhat dubious, but it seems a fair amount of people agree it's a valid ending point.
If enough people agree about the ending point, I suppose it can be put back to Vault without branch name.

"Seems like" isn't an argument. If there's a closer completion point, it must obsolete that run. If not, this one is the fastest, hence vaultable.
I'm not arguing that there is a closer completion point. I'm arguing that it doesn't appear like there is any.
feos wrote:
We don't have a vault branch name, neither do we have a non-vault one, since "fastest possible" is not marked by having no branch
Vault branch names certainly exist, such as "100% completion", a completely vaultable goal, or such as the examples you list below. Contradiction?
And we very definitely have non-vault branch names, such as...just about any run with a branch that has goals that disqualify it for vault.
feos wrote:
I can't search through the Vault movies, since the page is broken, but there definitely are runs with labels that indicate that the run does something specific, like "first enemy wave", or something of that fashion. Those runs have labels just to tell that it's not a traditional completion that would work for other games. Anyways, "game end/warp glitch" runs are still vaultable, despite of having a branch.

for games with separate, independent level sets (modes, episodes) officially available from start, each level set can have its TAS in Vault.
In BB2, the Slash mode is unlockable from the start.
That qualification was only added months after BB2 et al. were already published. I also don't agree about it necessarily having to be available from the start, but that's for another discussion topic.

If administration sees an error, it has to be corrected immediately. I discussed it with adelikat and Nach on IRC before changing it, but you weren't there so I couldn't get an immediate reply from you.

This is Vault, because fastest maximum score is the only certain ending point for this game. The submissions tells it well.
I find it somewhat dubious. The little "copyright" blurb seems more like an easter egg if anything, and the game itself doesn't look like it ends.
Either way, even if this would be considered a vaultable ending, it's still wrong to publish it with a non-vault branch name. At best, it's misleading about what branches are accepted in Vault and what not.

It appears the judge forgot that "maximum score" or similar is not a vaultable category.
As we don't do unpublications on this site, this run has instead been 'corrected' to Moons.
Just putting this here for clarification.

Would this TAS be considered as that "special" case. Since it went from Moon to Vault as it was originally intended to go after it was published?
It was a TAS when accepted 68% on YES votes and it was stated by others that it should Vault then somehow Mooned then put to Vault later.
That case was more of an error in my mind - it should never have been put to Moons in the first place.
Spikestuff wrote:
So, in near future we would see Yes votes for these "game end glitches" but overall it may actually end up in the Vault.
When I judge which tier to put a run in, I don't necessarily look at the vote percentages, but rather, anticipate how its entertainment rating will pan out. Had I judged Tekken 3, I would have put it in the Vault regardless of the 68% yes votes because I knew in advance its entertainment rating would end up below average regardless of the votes. (So far, for runs I have judged and applied this methodology to, it hasn't failed me yet.)
However, "game end glitch" runs are fairly new, and I don't have a good enough grasp to anticipate how the entertainment rating for these runs would end up. (Some of these runs' ratings have surprised me.) I don't think the other judges can at this point in time fully predict how the ratings pan out either. However, as for now, Moons generally seems a safer bet, as it is supported by the vote counts (which are extremely high compared to the actual entertainment ratings), and entertainment feedback, while between mediocre and okay-ish, is not outright terrible.
Of course, the other judges have their own ideas and methodologies on this matter. Most of these runs were judged by feos and Nach, and each have their own ideas as to what constitutes publishing to moon tier and what not.

Also considering everyone's vote so far 5.4 Avg on Entertainment makes it a vault score, but the overall average keeps it out of vault.
Overall average doesn't matter for vault/moon tier. Only the entertainment rate matters.
Anyway, these kind of runs will continue to go to moon tier as long as the majority of people finds them (apparently) entertaining. Personally I agree that the novelty has run off and they are just simply boring to watch now, but it seems for a lot of people that's not (yet) the case.

That happens because it tries to display too many movies at once. (All moon-tier movies on the site is a pretty long list.)
If it's going to be fixed, it's probably going to happen when the movie module would be overhauled entirely, And it'll probably still take quite a while before that happens.

Hmm, I see that. Though I still think it's a tradeoff -- you're trading speed for entertainment. That's what "tradeoff" means, unless I'm wrong.
You're not trading speed for entertainment. Adding an additional press adds both speed and entertainment*. The tradeoff in this case is neither speed nor entertainment; it's the run's goal that's being traded off.
*Entertainment here being based on how the run gets more boring if it's hours longer, so entertainment is directly correlated to speed in this case.

But yeah, something as arbitrary as "minimum A presses except when it's too long"-run would be stupid.

How would that work? "Minimum A presses for maximum amount of stars except skip it when it's too long"?
To me, it seems arbitrary to skip some stars, however way you do it.

Spikestuff, you seem well aware of your own behavior, yet you won't change. As feos said, saying sorry won't help if you don't change. I am going to tell you right here that if you still don't tone down the aggressive behavior, and you fire up another shitstorm like this again, you will get at least a tempban or worse from me.

I will never vote for that party because they want to make me unemployed, and they don't give a s**t. And this is not a prejudiced impression I've got; this is based on a direct conversation with representatives of said party (yes, their response was pretty much "too bad" when I expressed my concerns that if they had their way, I would lose my job.)
I have no idea what exactly your job is, or how exactly the Pirate Party having their way would affect your job or cause you to lose your job. So I can't really comment there.
Other than that, what can I say other than that I have had different experiences with my local Pirate Party than you had with your Pirate Party representatives? The Pirate Party Netherlands representatives I've known were actually fairly nice people, and I can generally stand by their ideals.

Your own views are welcome too of course, if you with to share them.
Here, most of the debate is basically pro-EU vs. anti-EU, and what effect the EU's presence has on the Dutch economy. According to preliminary, unofficial results (we voted Thursday 22nd) the pro-EU side in the Netherlands is winning from the anti-EU side (with respective Dutch political parties D66 and PVV on the winning and losing end respectively).
There is some scepticism about the viability of the Euro, and the growing presence/dominance of the EU, but with what we know of the votes so far, it's not as big as was thought at first. Looks like people generally are in favor of the EU in the Netherlands.

This is not a speed-entertainment tradeoff (doing it is in the interest of both speed and entertainment, so it's not a tradeoff for either). Instead, what you're doing is breaking the goal, as you're not really going for "minimum A presses" anymore if you start adding A presses not because it's necessary, but just because it's "more entertaining". If a movie doesn't meet its stated goal, it obviously won't be acceptable for the site.
It's like creating a Super Metroid 100% run and deciding to skip a few items because that's "faster and more entertaining".

It doesn't matter whether you use the A button, B button, X/Y/L/R button, any button, or the touch screen - the process is still the same regardless.

It is unfortunate how this run blows away the really extensive and fun setup of the previous Super Mario World arbitrary code execution runs. In my opinion, what made the previous runs so interesting is how many steps were required to make it possible.
On the other hand...this is quite a bit faster than I'd even expect from an improvement. What's next? Breaking a game before the end of the title screen?
EDIT: Also, I vote meh. Great improvement timewise, but as anything resembling gameplay is dwindled so much, it just becomes boring to watch.

I just watched the whole thing in one sitting (having seen most of the WIPs already). During the ring stages, it was interesting to look at virtual Metropolis. It's interesting how such a large and relatively detailed environment is mostly wasted on just a ton of ring flying and the occasional limited intermissions.
Anyway, yes vote. If you can get past watching the ring stages, it's just fun how quick each indoor stage is glitched to completion.
