That's pretty mixed. There was both when i last time checked on server few days ago.

Speedrunner or not, would be nice to go along with everyone and start over...

E: Page 2 confused me bit. Sorry for d post.

Hehe. A community has definitely grown since you left the server Vlam. Albeit it a small one, but we all share the same common interest in Oddworld. It's fair to say that not all of them are runners, but they are viewers and close friends of the runners, and provide help/support with races and what not

So yeah, definitely a community ��

My point.

Oddworld community is huge and amazing family. It's supportive.

Well no, your point suggested there wasn't a community. And unless I'm imagining every single one of them, which in itself is a pretty hefty feat , I'm pretty sure there is.

You understood me: most of them (I'm sorry) are mediocre "runners" (but it is a community, I'll give you that). It reminds me of the so-called "ARG-players" who aren't capable of solving a puzzle.

Now you're just being mean for no reason.....

If there's any mods out there, you are more than welcome to stick a padlock on this thread ��

Thanks kindly

I'm not. You know that's the truth.

Well, you're the one who started this thread and this vendetta against Kapteeni.

kapteeni13 · #40 07-13-2017, 04:43 PM

Thread needs little Tweak: Padlock, so i can't apologize properly if i insulted someone on your server. I don't just have heard who else was being insulted by my trolly session so i can apologize?

ToolOfDestruction · #41 07-13-2017, 04:49 PM

What counts as a 'real speedrunner'?

Also, at least 15 of the 30 odd people in the server actively 'speedrun' an Oddworld title. The others previously did or rarely 'speedrun' Oddworld games. Don't forget to include commentators, collaborators and people who are active in the general Oddworld discord who come by to learn more about what we do and to find a quick and easy link to when one of us is running.

ElectroTweak · #42 07-13-2017, 04:50 PM

All is cool Tool

I feel that if Kap wanted to apologise he would have already done it by now, and there's clearly no getting through to Vlam, but I guess trolls will be trolls! I guess it's a good thing you both felt the twang of the banhammer!
I have no interest in discussing this any further with either of you. We are clearly on different wavelengths, and neither of you deserve my time any longer

Mods, you may do your thing

kapteeni13 · #43 07-13-2017, 05:04 PM

Sometime ago i said following:

:

Also why are you "bossing" mods? If you are not interested of discussing then you can leave this alone.

Vlam · #44 07-13-2017, 05:06 PM

For the record, I'm a real speedrunner:

He's an excellent speedrunner in Strangers Wrath

ElectroTweak · #45 07-13-2017, 05:12 PM

In honesty, I don't think you're even taking this seriously. If you had an ounce of sympathy, then you would have apologised by now my friend. I think the only reason things have spiralled is because you are feeling salty you got caught, and the longer this goes on, the more it is going to escalate, and I have no interest in peddling your ego any longer.

And I'm not 'bossing' the mods. I'm asking them to kindly do what they have the power to do and close the thread, as there is really nothing else that can be accomplished here

Thanks for the reminder dude. I'll file it next to the 40-50 banned discord accounts, the unwanted friends requests on discord that members got daily, the unnecessary whispers whilst Myself and other streamers are streaming, the images of things I wouldn't show my parents that I've had sent to me privately and of course the defaming videos.....

But seriously man, as always, your input isn't necessary

kapteeni13 · #48 07-13-2017, 05:21 PM

Oh well then i'm sorry if i hurted you single person.

Well, it has nothing to do with OWF. Reminder: you're the one who made this thread... On OWF. It isn't a "defaming video", you did cheat.

ToolOfDestruction · #51 07-13-2017, 05:34 PM

The trick Sam did was completely legal in the run.

'Glitchless' is just the name of the category, it doesn't necessarily mean that no glitches are used which is why we are proposing to change the name to 'No Major Skips'.

All you have to do is look at the rules on speedrun.com to figure that out.

I've said this a few times now to both of you, so it's beyond me how you can still be confused about this.

kapteeni13 · #52 07-13-2017, 05:39 PM

I give you that. It's confusing to call run glitchless if the run has glitches.

Well, as a speedrunner myself I know what is "authorized cheating".

ToolOfDestruction · #54 07-13-2017, 05:43 PM

We spent many hours updating the Exoddus page to a quality standard due to the increased popularity of the game. With experimentation, we fixed most of the problems, figured out some new categories to run and updated the rules to represent our findings.

Because Oddysee is still a fairly unpopular game to run, we have yet to give it the re-design and rule changing it needs. The game constantly crashes and removes trap doors for reasons we can't quite grasp. In time, I'm sure Oddysee will receive the same treatment Exoddus got, and we can address the 'glitch' in the video you posted among plenty of other things.

Varrok · #55 07-13-2017, 09:20 PM

My point.

Well, keep in mind that in these oddworld fan forums, not all active members are huge fans of Oddworld.

I never saw this video before it was unlisted. With that said though - it's hard to really know who's right and wrong on this aspect of the matter. I'm actually beginning to lean towards it being that these "speedrunners" probably were being stupid with the whole "authorized cheating" so they could make a "glitchless run" by using some kind of unrecognized or unprohibited glitch. If that's really what happened, that's stupid, I agree. The more you have to explain your actions and why you did them, the more clear it is you're full of shit and are aware of it - or just know that the methods which enabled you were shady. I don't think I'd like this content, but that also boils it down to just being me - I don't really care much for the speed-runner scene to begin with. It's just not my thing. But still, everything else done here was still wrong - especially the targeted messages towards someone with mental disabilities. Make fun of someone for their actions, not how they're born.

Reminder: you're the one who is bullying Kapteeni.

You mean by making this thread? Okay yeah this was basically them calling the guy out. But eh, maybe he deserved to be called out. I'm on the fence about that.

:

@Vlam But seriously man, as always, your input isn't necessary

Everyone's input is necessary, and the person you're accusing has the right to defend himself. Everyone on this Earth, in every situation, deserves the right to speak. Don't be an asshole - you guys are the ones who made accounts almost exclusively to bash this guy on our forums. Maybe he did something wrong enough to deserve this kind of bitter vindictiveness, but still, don't push it.

...The first part here I sort of agree with. But honestly, this second bit pisses me off. I don't know, maybe they were both wrong and were both harassing you. But this comes off as really narcissistic. Also, now that I've seen this play out I'm not really sure what you expected to happen with this thread besides what you got, and it could have been a lot more volatile honestly. So the whole "lol mods please lock this thread now k bye" sounds like you really were just hoping to get this thread locked with your message being the last word in. Kind of ironic how you guys were accusing our guy for "defamation of character" and "getting things out of context" if that's kind of exactly what was wanted here.

And don't start with the "we just wanted to clear our names" plotline again. I think it's pretty obvious that was just the excuse to make this thread and wait for a response.

***Nate*** · #57 07-13-2017, 09:47 PM

Hey Vlam: Shut up!

Nepsotic · #58 07-13-2017, 11:28 PM

These speedrun pussies seem a bit too sensitive for this forum. Vlam is a person who tells the truth as he sees it, but you guys can't grasp the fact that someone isn't catering to your emotions so you're dismissing him as a troll so you don't have to think about your responses.

I'm not on any side here; in fact, the fact that people are even taking 'sides' just proves you're a bunch of faggots who can't settle disputes without acting like children. I can't even believe you thought this was worth taking out of your "community". Think about it, you both made accounts here for the sole purpose of stirring up drama that wasn't even related to this place in the first place.

And for fucks sake, if anyone talks about not having "sympathy" for one party or another I'll DDOS this place myself

ElectroTweak · #59 07-13-2017, 11:46 PM

It's really not narcissistic at all. This thread is going to spiral out of control, and I have no intentions of getting stuck in loops or pointless arguments over it. I made my point, with a level head, said my bit, gave other people the chance too aswell and given the responses that I've read, I genuinely have nothing more to say on the matter, as clearly this has turned into (as you said) a game of who's standing on the highest pedestal.

You guys can take what I have said however way you feel, I'm not afraid of volitilaty, but I'm not a fan either. Although know that I certainly didn't go to the effort of writing an essay just to get the one up on somebody else. I wrote it because I care for the community that I helped create, and was genuinely concerned, after reading messages sent by 'whoever' at the time, that they weren't able to fit in here, and yes I did make an account for the sole reason of doing so, and other people have also done the same, of their own accord.

Nepsotic · #60 07-13-2017, 11:59 PM
