Indeed, this is a complex issue, which is why I brought it up so we can settle it now before it becomes a problem later. I don't what should be done. Then there's also the issue of people not being able to download the content as RPG mentioned.
-Reasons to support requiring latest update (ones I can think of for an argument).
1. Establishes some form of order. It would be a mess if people were using different versions of a game for the same system.
2. Tradition: Most multiplayer games require that players have the latest updates before competition for the obvious reasons. (Does that apply to single player online competition?)
-Reasons against:
1. Issues with being able to download the updates.
Ever know what its like to get pwned by a book? Sonic certainly does.

Can't the updates be disabled or something? Like, you get a patch to fix your game,
but you turn it off while time-attacking. If they can be disabled, just disallow downloads.
If not, I say that allowing any version is okay. Forcing players to use the latest patches
not only has the problem of some would-be competitors not being allowed to compete,
but it's also dumb, because it would void all times every so often. Imagine this in SA:
We get times under 10 seconds for Sonic's Final Egg. (I know this wasn't done back in DC times.
That's not the point.) Then, the GameCube version comes along. All of those times have to
be replaced with slower 0'5-"-- records. Then, imagine Sonic Team making a patch available,
if you sign up and go online with GCN. (This is worse than XBox Live, since XBL is actually used.
But again, this isn't the point.) Ban all times that use the two shortcuts, and only allow runs made
with the patch that fixes the fake walls. Then, another patch comes, and it fixes any other problems,
like the half-solid spiky things on the conveyor belts, or the missing walls in FE3, where Sonic falls
through that long shaft while collecting rings. MORE VOIDINATIFIED TIMES!!!!!!

Okay, maybe that wasn't the best way to explain it, but you get the idea.
Basically, it's dumb because it voids all the records every so often, and because it's like
only allowing the system that has the disadvantage
(only GC is allowed for FE, TP, CP, etc.).
Why not just ban all glitches? Who knows which ones will be fixed?
(Obviously not all of them, as this is Sonic Team, but there could be a few.)

If there is a patch for Sonic 06's XBox 360 version (current status is that its a rumor depending on if the PS3 version fixes issues with the 360 version), most likely, there will probably only be one or two of them, so constant voiding of records in practice seems highly unlikely. (I predict that most of the patches will probably occur rather quickly if they are released). Single player games never get as much patch attention as multiplayer games with exceptions to the addition of new content. As far as I know based on games like War Craft and Halo, patches cannot be disabled unless they are uninstalled.

I've been asking around for an answer to this question for quite some time but does anyone have any idea what's up with Rivals? Shouldn't they have been up by now?

Also, it looks like rules need a bit of tweaking before the finalization process occurs for 06 I guess. This whole patch/update thing seems to be creating a bit of an issue but don't let it.

magnum12: This is Sonic Team. My guess is that they'll fix a couple of glitches which are not annoying
(meaning they'll get rid of shortcuts to annoy time-attackers while leaving in fake floors Sonic can fall through),
and then leave the rest. Maybe they'll have to make a bunch of patches, but maybe they'll give up
right near the start. Either way, they won't fix all the glitches, and the glitches they do fix will be
the glitches that could've stayed in the game. And I'm still against voidinatifying times because
they don't use the latest/only patch.

My guess is that they won't fix any glitch.

But whatever, we'll see when and if it happens.

I'm hoping Sonic Team doesn't release a patch (or patch up new versions of the game) before I get it, because I'd be very disappointed if it happens.

As I mentioned in the other topic, me getting 06 is becoming more of a reality since the PC Version of the game, previously rumored, seems to be also becoming more and more of a reality itself.

I can't wait! :)

I ask again in curiosity over the Riders divisions as well as asking how 06 is coming along as far as finalizing it, that is. Everything seems to be in order [for the most part].

Er, question: in Rivals, I'm assuming that getting a Rival stuck and beating the living shit out of him for points is banned?  If so, what's the cap on it?

Reviving this topic for Secret Rings. Oh yeah! New info: 3 new stages revealed, all mission types revealed and new ideas for potential competition.

Main topic thread can be found here: http://www.sonicstadium.org/board/index.php?showtopic=25239

First, according to vids on IGN, missions contain both Clear Time and Score at the Results Screen and obviously Ring Score, depending on the mission. The mission types are revealed to be:

· Beat the clock - Complete stages within a specified time limit.
· Stealth Attack - Do not attack a single enemy.
· Chain Challenges - Hold onto your rings.
· Rampage - Destroy a certain number of enemies.
· No Pearl - Do not charge your soul meter.
· Specific - 5 challenges for each stage that are dependant upon which level you play.[5]

BTC: Time, Score [possibly]
Stealth: Time, Score [possibly]
Chain: Rings, Score/Time [possibly]
No Pearl: Score, Time
Specific: All three depending on mission type and objectives.

There are 100 and I'll test them ALL to se if they're competition-worthy as I'll be getting this game once it comes out for sure.

Three new stage names: Pirate Storm, Levitated Ruin, Evil Foundry
New villain revealed! Sorta.. check wikipedia for more info. I gotta see the vid on it though.


More info as I learn of it.

You got that right!

New updates on all my proposals:
Whole convers. copied with Rolken's permission of course. Highlighting main parts below:

<ks8_SMBBB> anyway, getting right to the chase...
<ks8_SMBBB> SJ told me you've been having trouble with Rivals divisions
<ks8_SMBBB> but I also heard that you're being lazy... didn't hear it from me
<Rolken> lawl
<ks8> yeah...
<Rolken> mostly lazy, yeah.
<ks8> but so yeah... how are they coming along?
<ks8> same question for 06?
<Rolken> gerbil's been working on it and he gave me what he was doing today so I'll take a look.
<ks8> in all honestly, though; I REALLY wanna help with them
<ks8> the actual constructing part anyway...
<ks8> and he never told me about that...
<Rolken> I don't think there's much you can do beyond what's been done already :x
<ks8> yeah.. I kidna figured
<Rolken> it's mostly database operations, which is pretty obscure
<ks8> (*) kinda
<ks8> it's tedious then?
<Rolken> moreso delicate
<ks8> I see...

<ks8> how are the 06 ones coming along?
<Rolken> they're at the bottom of the list heh
<ks8> oh yeah?
<ks8> what's before it?
<Rolken> after rivals and shadow and advance 3 are tweakered
<ks8> and what made you place Rivals at the "top"
<Rolken> it seems to be a decent game heh
<Rolken> whereas I hear nothing but bad stuff about sonic0
<Rolken> 6
<ks8> good point
<ks8> I mean, 06 seems to be more.. well.. people are dying to participate in a real competition for it

<ks8> will Secret Rings be at the top of your list when it comes out?
<Rolken> probably, if it's any good heh
<Rolken> the previewers keep acting like it's pretty good
<Rolken> I never played shuffle :<
<Rolken> never had a dreamcast
<ks8> I'm so excited... not that anyone, but me, cares about Shuffle in the first place XD
<ks8> I still have mine
<ks8> I'll vid stuff for you when divisions come up...
<ks8> hint*
<ks8> ;)
<Rolken> shuffle?
<ks8> just kidding
<ks8> I know you said my old proposal wouldn't be considered
<Rolken> heh, I didn't think anything in it was competition-worthy
<ks8> Rolken: oh yeah? for the most part, it is
<ks8> sorry, after the considered line, I said: until TUSC4 at least...
<Rolken> er... I don't recall your old proposal; I have a pretty poor memory
<ks8> can I ask you something though, about it?
<Rolken> if you remind me what it is heh
<ks8> I've been dying to know what your opinions were on them... well I shall do that:
<ks8> hopefully my mesages will actually come up... XD
<ks8> give me a sec
<ks8> I don't wanna miss anything since it's not everyday that I get a chance to do this :P
<ks8> kay in a nutshell: [almost] purely by memory:
<ks8> Shadow the Hedgehog: Rings
<ks8> Shuffle: New Game
<ks8> Sonic the Fighters/Championship: New Game
<ks8> Sonic Advance 3: Rings
<ks8> Sonic Riders: New Divisions
<ks8> hold on..
<ks8> you still here?
<Rolken> aye
<ks8> I'm surprised... XD
<ks8> lol
<ks8> sorry.. PC's going slow as usual
<ks8> I'm so dumb... been looking in my INBOX for the PM I sent you containing the whole proposal...
<ks8> realized it 20 sec ago
<Rolken> oh, if you PMd me I still have it
<ks8> still loading..
<ks8> don't bother yourself
<ks8> I have it here
<Rolken> found it anyway heh
<ks8> oh okay
<ks8> then you can see what I said there
<Rolken> ah, fighters
<ks8> I jsut wanna know what you thought of everything
<Rolken> I totally forgot about that
<ks8> you told me in a PM
<Rolken> fighters should definitely be added
<ks8> that you MAY consider it for TUSC4
<Rolken> shadow rings are on the verge of being added
<ks8> YES!
<Rolken> gerbil did most of the work for that alread
<Rolken> y
<ks8> Groudon should be happy about that
<Rolken> heh, yes, he keeps bugging me about it
<ks8> I just started playing Shadow recently
<ks8> yeah I know
<ks8> at least now I know why since I just started like I said
<ks8> he bugs me sometimes too :P
<ks8> I have a feeling what you'll say about the Riders stuff
<ks8> I can take it...
<ks8> but I still wanna know
<ks8> I think...
<ks8> lol
<ks8> no seriously
<Rolken> I'll have to go back and play the game again; I don't recognize the divisions you mention
<ks8> there's 3 more things I believe
<ks8> for Riders?
<Rolken> aye
<ks8> I can explain them right now
<ks8> after all, I play Riders regularly
<ks8> besides it's rare I get a chance to do this, as I mentioned earlier
<ks8> so which divisions do you mean?
<Rolken> survival battle, space theater etc
<Rolken> I recall there was a mission discussion back when it came out
<ks8> everything? I need oyu to be specfic as in what did I say as I need to know
<ks8> yeah, missions is all there too
<Rolken> I'm nto sure if it was decided not to put them in or it just never happened
<ks8> oh and I forgot another proposal: Heroes
<ks8> Rolken: for my topic, it was decided it should be
<ks8> we chose which ones already
<ks8> not just me
<ks8> as a group
<Rolken> fair enough
<ks8> what other divisions about Riders? can you be specifice so I can elaborate?
<Rolken> I don't really recognize any but the mission, so it'd probably be easier for me just to go check it out
<Rolken> it's been many months since I played riders heh
<ks8> lol
<ks8> the Space Theater stuff is in "Survival Mode"->"Survival Battle" , y'know, the mode where you battle other riders; start off with 3 lives
<ks8> I also have there "Survival Race" which is also in "Survival Mode"; that's with going through the gates to earn points; the "Emerald" Race if that doesn't remind you of it
<ks8> and then there's the Missions which you know about (like I said, not ALL were chosen; the select few that were should be there or if I remember in a document that I attached or something)
<ks8> still don't member? :)
<ks8> I also have there new Heroes divisions, Shuffle - as you know - and SADV3 Rings
<Rolken> disconnected ftl
<Rolken> ah, I remember the emerald race
<ks8> yeah that
<ks8> divisions were considered
<ks8> rules are all set out
<ks8> we decided to toss it up to you
<ks8> still no lightbulb on the Battle?
<Rolken> nope heh
<Rolken> I don't think I ever did those modes much

I got disconnected so I forgot to copy what he said but basically:
SADV3: Sounds good, Shuffle: Will Take everyone’s word on it and add; Heroes: sounds good

<ks8_onceagain> sorry
<ks8_onceagain> Rolken
<Rolken> lol :x
<ks8_onceagain> just one more thing
<ks8_onceagain> at the risk of having my PC blow up..
<ks8_onceagain> still think I'll wait until TUSC4 before at least one of those proposals go up?
<Rolken> advance 3 and shadow probably sooner, the others probably later
<ks8_onceagain> that's good news
<ks8_onceagain> what's the order, you think, of seeing them up?
<ks8_onceagain> all things considered
<ks8_onceagain> sorry, I just really need to know
<ks8_onceagain> and so does everyone else :P
<ks8_onceagain> 'specially Groudon
<ks8_onceagain> :)
<Rolken> heh
<Rolken> shadow, advance 3, everything else
<ks8_onceagain> lol
<ks8_onceagain> what about Fighters?
<ks8_onceagain> and Shuffle?
<Rolken> that falls under everything else heh
<Rolken> I'll probably put the rest up all at once

<ks8_onceagain> I know this must be annoying
<ks8_onceagain> so I'll get outta your way; sleep comes first, so someone I know well would say
<ks8_onceagain> ;)
<Rolken> lol ;o
<Rolken> seeya round bud
<ks8_onceagain> tell Gerbil I'll be on his case... XD
<Rolken> lawl
<ks8_onceagain> you wanna take that back?
<ks8_onceagain> rotfl
<ks8_onceagain> the "seeya round" bit
<ks8_onceagain> ;)
<Rolken> you're a lot better than our other new folks heh.
<Rolken> or quasi-new anyway.
<ks8_onceagain> lol
<ks8_onceagain> thanks... sorta

<ks8_onceagain> anyway
<ks8_onceagain> later man
<ks8_onceagain> thanks a lot for the info
<Rolken> seeya
<ks8_onceagain> you don't mind if let people know about the chat do you?
<ks8_onceagain> gotta ask just in case
<Rolken> do what you like
<ks8_onceagain> s'long as it's okay by you, I'm good
<ks8_onceagain> back to Rayman I guess
<ks8_onceagain> later

Good to hear. Its a good thing we have that chart of the Shadow ring competition since I'll be referencing it a lot. Going to have to start playing more SH special stages since I never finished those.

N Indicates we should not/cannot have a division for it.
? Indicates I need to do research (when I get the game) to see if we can have a division for this.

Missions will be added later as will the other stages once I come to learn about them. A brief thought right now, though, what header would missions go under? Extras?

Based on the video on IGN, the tester took 4:20:36, earning a Bronze Medal for score. Score is tabulated through:
Action Bonus, Enemy Bonus, Ring Bonus and Technical Bonus for a total score. As far as rings go, you either have to see how much you have before reaching the goal or, more than likely, there will be a screen that shows you how many rings you have and how many you have in total throughout the game's duration. At the start of another movie (obviously a split movie of IGN doing the whole of Sand Oasis) that signifies the start of the stage, you'll notice you start off with 5 rings in your total. Either that or there's a tutorial-like stage before it or something along those lines.

Also, if you're wondering about the Secret Ring that Sonic is supposedly supposed to get at the start, it's on his right hand on one of his fingers (index I believe...).

Tons of new vids found here: http://media.wii.ign.com/media/800/800277/vids_1.html. I recommend checking out the new trailer although I'm still currently DL'ing it...

Would it not be a good idea to perhaps WAIT until the damn game is released before constructing preliminary charts?

For all we know they could change everything.

To be honest, RPG, I'm doing this for myself for the most part. It's helping me keep in anticipation of the game, if you know what I mean (kinda reminds me of how "obsessed" I was with getting Sonic Riders >_<).

A new extended trailer has been let out, revealing new mini-games. Will edit later (again for myself I guess :P).

edit: My impressions:

* Mine Shaft: Times most likely
* Sea Battle (like Bumper Balls from Mario Party; couldn't think of what to call it by, tentatively): Probably no competition
* Card (Some card game...): Unsure about competition; don't know much about it
* Net (Using some kinda of net to catch stuff): Scores
* Giant Balloon Burst (Such a copycat from Mario Party 2 I think of Bowser's Big Blkast and later in MP7, another similar game): Unsure about competition
* Rocks (Giant rocks... ?): Scores
* Sky Platform (4 people atop platforms, must survive by dodging something... couldn't make it out.. an axe?; kinda like Jump the Snake from Shuffle I hope.): Unsure, if anything, Time
* Flags (Players are holding flags, pirate ship in background..): Unsure
* Locksmith (Some game with trying to unlock a set of locks on a cage.): Unsure, probably Times
* Gears: Scores
* Canoe racing game reminds me of Kirby Air Ride. Unsure about Times. Shows laps in the vid.
* Umbrellas: Scores
* Pirate Ship (looking for stuff on a pirate ship?): Scores
* Jungle (unsure of objective): Scores
* Mirror/Flashlight game: Scores

I can't wait! Only 19 days to go. Oh and for those too lazy to take a look at my official Secret Rings topic, Shadow, Cream, Silver and Blaze are all confirmed for multiplayer games. I wonder if they'll be incorporated into the storyline somehow...

Here I go again, RPG. Don't ruin my moments. :X

edit: Don't know about these Kri Ma Djinn stuff. I don't like the mini-game names that much...
Wonder if we'll use the full names for competition or just part of it (e.g., Fore! Putting Golf; just use Putting Golf - seems logical and ultimately less tedious I guess for Rolken and potentially GS).

Will update chart soon I guess.

Regarding 06; I'm sure you're all aware of the "Very Hard Mode" update for the game. Will you guys add this for competition? http://www.sonicstadium.org/sonicnews/269/ for those that don't know

No indeed. I would say it'd be worth considering but the fact that it has a price stops all arguments.

Whoever gets it first should just make a topic on the forum for it. I think we've been used to that for this game so far.
