I got $100 from one of my grandmas, a really nice pullover from another, and $25 gift cards for Borders and Barnes & Noble. As my dad got the very same gift cards, I traded him my Borders card for his B&N card, and will use them to buy New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Are allowed to submit a time that we have displayed as our "best time" on the stage select area without going back and re-doing it?

If you're certain that you completed the time yourself, and that it doesn't break any rules, then that's fine.

Idc about thread necromancy...it's a free country.  Anyway, if I get a record...will people be bothering me too?

Well you're right, it is a free country. But as it's my forum, you're bound to my rules, and I can do what I want, so I'll tell you right now that I'll ban you if you keep trolling. You've made a bunch of posts here that are either complaining or completely pointless, and you haven't even submitted any stats to the site.

Also it's not fair to dig up year-old posts when I've only been running the site for 3 months. >_> What applied then doesn't necessarily apply now, though... for the most part it does. Nobody is banned for being good. That's just stupid. If you have concerns, go ahead and contact me, but for now, stop complaining about things you don't know anything about. Throwing around baseless accusations seems to be what you're complaining about, so you should probably take a look in the mirror on that one.

I somehow won at S2K tonight. How extraordinary! My run was actually pretty fail, but after a couple half-assed attempts to rush through Death Egg that immediately failed, I went for the fastest totally safe method I knew and even though Miles beat me to Death Egg by a huge margin, I pulled the win. Somehow. Probably never gonna happen again. >_>

News and Updates / Happy 6th Birthday TSC!

« on: October 23, 2009, 04:29:10 am »

Happy 6th birthday to TSC! Whilst my own time here covers only about half of its existence (albeit some of it near the beginning >_> ), I've greatly enjoyed both competing here and watching the competition in my time, and I imagine it's much the same for most of you! It's been a blast, guys and gals, and hopefully you're ready for at least 6 more great years!

A big shout-out to Rolken, for getting us started and keeping us going in the right direction for 5+ years, and for having nobody else to give the site to confidence in me to keep it running when he was ready to hand it off. To GerbilSoft, for never giving us up (and for actually having the site up on the anniversary this year >_> ). And indeed to everyone who's participated in some way over the last few years, keep it up! We're only as good as our competition, and we need to keep working to our high standards as always.

(Also, TSC Race Night is doing Knuckles in Sonic 2 on Saturday, 7PM Eastern. You know you want to join in!)
And this week, Race Night will be Sonic CD! However, getting Good Futures in every level is required... without collecting the time stones!
And TSC Race Night hasn't actually happened for awhile, but it resumes November 28th with Super Mario Bros. 3 (no whistles).

Oh hey you all are actually starting to realize talon is a liar! What a surprise!

Maybe ya'll should trust me when I ban someone for whom there's clear evidence of being a BSer, and not just go "oh the admins banned him for no reason it's so unfair I don't trust them!!!!" Conspiracy theories ftl.

Competition Central / Re: How much time do you lose when you respawn from a checkpoint in SA2:B?

« on: October 11, 2009, 02:02:58 am »

I was about to say man it's just a message board, you're supposed to just be yourself and have fun. In regards to how well written your post is, you are just supposed to say what's on your mind. Sometimes I write a post properly, sometimes I just type up something real quick, either way it should not matter as long as everything is strung together properly and doesn't strain someone to read.

About your point.. I apologize for "attacking the admins" but you have to understand I was simply frustrated at the way Zeupar treated me. Like I said I simply asked why ban someone who is completely honest, and he doesn't give me an answer, he just tells me I am a waste of time and to leave if I don't like it..that's not the way an admin should act towards it's members..not at all.

I know nobody can be foolproof in determining whether someone is cheating or not. To make matters more complicated people can cheat, and then someday be more morally correct and want to play honestly, but still get banned again anyway. I think that's what happened with Talon, because he has a few great videos of his SA2B times up on his page. I still believe he is honest. But I'll let you guys determine what to do with him, maybe you can give him another chance some day.

About the off-topicness, well yeah but we could always rename the topic to "SA2B Competition Discussion" Since we talk about anything and everything, but we recently opted to keep the name the same because it's cool and classic.

Hopefully you understand what I said here.. I don't attack people without a good reason.

Oh, I don't doubt that talon CAN play legitimately, at least to some degree. However, he has been banned 20 times within the past few months, at least 15 times of which have come since I took over the adminship.  Ban evasion is a bannable offense, this time is no exception. And as I said before, he had stats we'd confirmed as BS when he was banned as talon, and as such it wasn't exactly a hard decision since we knew that, as well as who he was. Further, Zeupar wasn't out of line at all, you were taking an accusatory tone to us. If you knew the whole reasoning behind it, I'm pretty sure you'd agree with the ban. I would -not- ban someone unless I was very certain that it was the right decision, and I do my diligence to make sure that's what happens. Hell, I was quite relieved yesterday to call BS on someone and have them turn up legit, because pretty much every time since I started it's resulted in a ban. I don't want to ban anyone, but if it's necessary to protect the accuracy of the charts, then that's what I'll do.

And really, name calling? I like how, because you don't have all the info, you chalked it up to us being unfair. Try considering that we do look at as many possibilities as we can, and aren't just jumping down random people's throats. If someone is questioned then there is good reason to do so indeed.

A video or an explanation of the strategy you used to achieve :26 in Lava Reef 2 (Sonic) in Sonic & Knuckles is requested. If you are not inclined to share your strategy publicly, you may private message or email me.

Further to that, proof of your sole submitted Sonic Advance 2 stat is requested (Leaf Forest 1 - Tails 0:54:16).

Edit: Do not submit new stats until this issue is resolved.

AD Edit: This has been resolved. The Lava Reef 2 time used a banned tactic. The Sonic Advance 2 time was fixed. Besides wiping the Lava Reef 2 time, no other punishment warranted. Free to submit again.

I assure you there was absolutely no mistake in banning talon, he's a BSer who's had about 20 accounts now. If you feel you need more explanation, come in the chat and talk to me, or PM me, I'm sure I can prove this to your satisfaction.

Apparently it does. Changing the country fixes the slowdown/graphical errors.

No, that means that it doesn't equal PAL. It means it's trying to run in PAL but can't because it's running on an NTSC system. The slowdown doesn't exist when playing the game in normal PAL. I suppose it's trying to run at PAL speed in NTSC, which means it's running much slower than either.

Permission to reply? Every single time? Come on..

If you don't like it, you're free to leave. The community has proven they can't be trusted to deal with this without oversight, and so this is how it's going to be from now on in this section of the forum. No exceptions. If you've seen the HyperSonic7701 thread, you can see why this is necessary.

You shouldn't even need to post in this section unless A) you have reason to suspect someone is posting fake stats or B) you are being accused of posting fake stats. I don't think these restrictions are too much to ask for to make sure the process runs smoothly and without turning into a flamewar.

1. You may not start a topic in here without approval from myself, or if I'm not available Thorn, Zeupar, or SpinDashMaster Umbreon. Contact us in the chat, or via private message to discuss this. Any topics not approved will be deleted on sight.

2. Do not reply in any topic unless you are the topic-starter, or the accused individual. Anyone else, if you feel you have a point that needs to be made, contact one of the above-listed admins first. Again, any unapproved replies are subject to deletion.

3. Under no circumstances will there be baseless accusations, inflammatory remarks, or anything at all needlessly disrespectful to the accused individual. Keep it tactful.

Bans may be handed out for repeated and/or flagrant violations of these rules. You all should know better, don't force me to do anything like this.

I got the stats BEFORE I made the videos, and BEFORE I even posted them, but I went through the trouble of doing them again, and just because I made better times does NOT mean I embellished them. They were generally old stats.

Whether I get unbanned or not, finding all my stats again will take hours or days to do, so, I'd rather just move on. I was happy to have some great times here, I am saddened it ended this way.

Impossible? I think not. All my stats, whether incorrect or not, doesn't mean they are impossible. I could prove every one of those deemed 'impossible' stats. But since you deleted them, that doesn't matter now, does it?

Also I'm not saying the stats that you corrected were the problem (not that they looked great, but I could reasonably see why that would happen), I'm saying that there were stats that you didn't correct that were a problem.
