I just updated the rules of T&E to include a couple somewhat significant gameplay changes, as well as clarification on a few other topics..
Here is a full list of changes for anyone who doesn't want to read through the full post again and dissect the differences (totally fair!)
T&E RULE ADJUSTEMENTS
(CHANGES AND ADDITIONS TO THE 'HOW DO I GET POINTS' SECTION)
START RECORDING BEFORE YOU ENTER THE LEVEL, and make sure it's continuous until you hit the final finish block.. We don't want any fishy business up in here. (The savestate feature will involve video cuts!)
YOUR VIDEO MUST BE GOOD QUALITY, so don't go recording your runs with grandpas old flip phone!
NO MAJOR SKIPS should be taken advantage of in your level completions, so don't even think about it! If it feels wrong, then it probably is, but don't be afraid to ask for clarification!
(CHANGES AND ADDITIONS TO THE 'NOTES/ADDITIONAL INFO' SECTION)
A judge may ask you to prove an account is yours if it is not already immediately apparent! This aims to protect against people submitting level completions found online that were completed by other players.
A good quality video would have a timer that is readable, as well as decent framerate and a decent bitrate overall. If you aren't certain the quality is good enough, ask a Judge!
Judges have full discretion over whether to accept a level completion or not, but unbiased reasoning will always be provided. Together, we can conquer anything!
Sometimes mistakes happen, that's okay! If you happen to make a small mistake while following some rules, be honest with the judges about what happened and the completion may still be accepted.
Cooperate with the judges! If the judges determine that you are breaking rules intentionally or generally being difficult, you may be removed from the contest.. yikes!
(CHANGES AND ADDITIONS TO THE SAVESTATE RULES)
YOU MUST ANNOUNCE THAT YOU ARE USING THE FEATURE in the pr2 chat. This is only necessary to prevent anyone from using the feature maliciously
If you didn't follow some of these gameplay rules in your previous level completions, that's ok! We won't be taking away your hard earned points.
Happy frusting!
