The question is, shall I make standard encodes that look as death, or encode all bright and add an original youtuber as an option? Bright encode would be added optionally anyway, if I have to stick to the former, which I wouldn't wish.
Well, in James Bond that darkeining MIGHT stand for atmosphere and all, but in Felix, it's JUST WEIRD. Also, Lungle Book "day" looks like all jungle is in smoke.

I'm currently processing the publication for Jungle Book and want to suggest the rule that those 3 games must be encoded with the above patches applied, because with bright enough colors they all look incredible, while dull dark palette kills some of the entertainment of the TASes of them.

Game-based navigation was already planned and is to be implemented.

That's why it doesn't make sense for me to exclude them from other tiers in the new system simply because amazing publication A was arbitrarily picked over similar-but-just-as-amazing publication B.
To be well-founded, please post in the stars thread what was arbitrarily starred.

I'm going to rewrite the encoding manual, to cover everything from installing codecs to the publication routine. This could help to request for new publishers to handle zombies.

I second this hard. Whould actually be informative tag. Just a yellow C letter. Won't distract, as few runs feature comments.

Actual rejecting for not hardest difficulty? Never heard of it. I must be a newbie.

I used to like avgn a couple years ago, now I'm not that interested. I just voiced the logics that I find valid.

After unrejecting, shitty game runs were expected to drown the other runs, that's why the former needed to be separated as vault. All the rest is still debatted as I can see.

Good, be sure to making 50 other groups too for every other random person out there, because, apparently, that's what we do now.
Some people DID care about this page, but it was barely maintainable. I'm interested in having a list of "games that owned avgn being owned themselves". Icon is unnecessary, but WHY NOT the group the way it exists now? Is the old manual list so much better?

Well, we used to have this, as a manual list of TASes of games reviewed by James, no one asked to kill that page, it was sorta cool to see, how the games that owned James have need owned.

Well, removing the icon can help then, if we still have a group linked from Special categories, I see no problem. Or let's put this icon in the URL header when the AVGN list is opened.

Few-raters runs must be displayed somewhere, asking to rate them pretty persistently, we just to need to highlight the idea that rating is a great contribution as well.

The word "tier" as used here connotates that something in one grouping is significantly better than something in a lesser grouping. However the way things are being assigned to tiers do not mesh with the word tier at all.
Then we need 3 real tiers:
Notable for being "really good"
Unnotable
Notable for being "really bad"
Definitions of bad are written in the Vault description. Good are runs like 8+, as 8s are given intentionally when the run is in fact "really good". Really bad are 6- runs. I'm not saying that must be automated by rating (if we improve rating guidelines and the weighting system, rating can be taken seriously), but it doesn't really matter, because even if the rating decides, all the rest groups shall still be hand-picked:
Recommended/Stars - all must watch them and learn by heart, TASers and newbies.
First platform publications
AVGN
Console-verified
Notable improvement
Whatever

-Stars could still be used for the absolute best movies of the site, like they've always been.
Even at the risk of sounding like a broken record, stars were never intended to be a "the absolute best movies" symbol. Rather, it means "recommended movie".
Not all of the best movies get a star, nor are all the starred movies necessarily the best. The point is that there's a relatively small selection of movies that showcase what's cool about TASing. Whether it's considered a top TAS is inconsequential (although often goes hand-in-hand).
Stars are more about best of the best, what means not just frame perfected, but entertainment-wise incredible. There may still be several candidates to a star, and the ones that weren't chosen must have a rest in moons (after it gets separated from commonplace movies, which must also be divided from vault).
