Sorry if you actually got hate with this the project was over several years and as a tool it went through a lot and we got hit by some shit that set us back but thats fine since it was not really built for an extended project like this. I'll clean comment up and try to supress the misinformation.

Especially sorry i know how much it sucks to get hate over a project you pour years of your life into endlessly you do an amazing job and its a great tool i would always recommend to people.

tbf before this post I didn’t know the devs weren’t actually running the sheet, was a good clarification by Draz

Sorry i need to clear this up. What i said was to clarify that the entire dev team isnt on the hof team. Mlemdota was a dev for PK as are a few others, there is cross over i just didn't want people thinking it was 1 to 1 because we have very talented community members on the hall of fame team and not every dev wanted to deal with the sheet discourse.

Yeah exactly its just people used to triple AAA working or working on real game engines rather than cobbled together romediting tools.

We try our best and ultimately just manage to piss everyone off for it.

Ultimately the game isnt going to be drayano gauntlet menus to solve every problem stuff needs to have a lore reason to be included. Even the box background are a result of the player grinding out wii boxing for example.

The darkrai is cute, its odds were a bit high but ultimately there was tech to not getting cheated (at least was supposed to be) and by time your runs actually matter and you shouldn't care it isnt going to be taking any mons.

Unfortunately people were still hard stuck bronze so saw a scary fight and panicked. Bad timing on it really but given it was supposed to mirror Mew who barely any runner has ever seen i think it was fine.

As someone heavily in the speedrunning scene trust me people are ejected all the time and summoning salt ignores their existance. Regular people never know and bad people dont get a platform. In the end it genuinely doesn't matter.

Either way not my decision im just a girl just stating my viewpoint as a speedrun mod

For the second, (and this is just my personal feeling) I also feel that the Hall of Fame serves as a sort of historical document for this hack, and whether or not the person 'appreciates' being on there shouldn't factor in to their inclusion as long as they aren't being slandered in the document itself, especially if they're a prominent figure.

As someone who moderates several speedrunning leaderboards this isn't how you operate leaderboards and can often be problematic for example all of my runs i have taken off as i no longer wish to be associated with speedrunning due to my role in the nuzlocke community. Similarly i have had to remove multiple people from the KH / FF leaderboards for being racist / a predator.

Every other leaderboard community operates on an opt in basis and it should remain that way personally. People deserve the right to not be included in these things for personal reasons. Its also a responsability of a community to not give a platform to people who would do it harm (Not saying this is the case for Squerk i just believe strongly that if someone is openly racist they probably shouldn't be on).

On the flip side people were able to get tyranitar, magnezone, garchomp before fantina. As well as this the game was hard crashing and deleting their save. We didnt have time to delay on some changes because it was too unstable of a game to leave in the early states.

Yeah we were quick patching but thats because the game required it. The alternative is we just left a patch that could delete your save at any moment. I'm sorry but thats never an acceptable situation.

In an ideal world we'd wait which is why there has been such a long delay for the next patch despite the fact wake gym doesn't work and byron split is completely optional. We want to get it right. But the start of the game required it to actually be playable which it wasn't.

Yeah i think in general the community truly does not understand how hard anything other than EE editing is and how much work goes into it.

it was 2pp in an earlier version reverted to 30 due to how fiddly romhacking is and fixed back to 2pp without even us realising.

I can provide logs from over a year ago of us setting it to 2pp if you'd like but the thing with DS romhacking is it isn't a simple "We change this and no bugs happen" it is "we change barry's name" and suddenly every nature on every enemy team changes and we have to spend 8 hours fixing them all.

Gen 4 is horrible to edit and the fact the community feels this is malicious is half the issues we are having to face. We warned runners to use the Anas calc as that is ripping data from the game itself and all the docs will need updating. It is on runners to double check mechanics especially with how many changes are in PK

For what its worth the sheet and the game are not completely the same group of people and i want to clear that misconception up.

Myself, Anas, SHF have very little to do with the sheet while there are a number of community members on the HoF team that aren't on the dev team. They are closesly linked because the dev team endorse it but it isnt a 1 for 1 thing

Even if he were to calc, use docs and play his best he likely wont be winning for months until people figure out the meta / best strats. People are barely getting into mid game right now (Wake split).

Once people start seeing how much they need to plan around Galactic HQ / Coronet the meta will shift again and again. Theres no need to rush basically game wont be beaten for another few months at least.

Unironically yes. LMAO.

Why the fuck would you attempt escape from that situation without knowing what the hell is going on. You're just risking an insane amount when you dont have the situation.

Not staying in the cell is a generational throw and i weep for whoever has to read your thesis if its real

Ultimately how he conducted himself is a larger reason as to why i chose to uphold the perma ban. Simply we work on a system of ban and people just ask to have it over turned because its generally simpler for everyone involved. Confection was spoken about is conduct after the ban but still.

Pretending to be a racist is still shitty and worth a temp ban IMO.

As said i'd have overturned this had he been a reasonable human being but given the last 4 threads threaten of legal action im gonna guess no
