There is no explanation. It all was that "undefined behavior" of tier judging system (for the infamous borderline cases (see the relevant thread)).

I've read only a few posts, but I have an impression we're mixing everything possible in one monstrous issue. First of all, the main problems always was and still is with borderline cases. Those are exactly what got people complain about rejection through pages. Those are exactly what still causes rejection if the goal is unvaultable. Those are what makes the Vault look bad - runs that don't look deadly bad get placed there. Then, we still are uncertain about the criteria. But what else do we have besides judge's notion, crowd's voting, posts and ratings? Nothing. So we must take it into account, just try to do it wise. I suggest to add an undefined tier. It's like postponing the tier judgment until it's more obvious. And if it's not, not make it at all! Things suddenly look resolved: definitely bad runs still go to where only few people care about them, definitely good ones go to where all see them. Undefined-tier runs go to the Moons area, but have some icon on them shouting NEW or RATE ME. RATE ME makes more sense, because it can still have little to no ratings after a year, when it's in no way NEW anymore. Also, putting them with Moons gives them more chances to be noticed and rated. The only 2 problems that are possible here are: - ambiguity of what is ambiguous (how do we know it needs to go to the undefined tier?) and - should that tier be used to accept unvaultable runs of uncertain entertainment value (pretending they will be Moons, to justify acceptance)?

People keep taking the rating borderline seriously (and will do) because that "arbitrary" choice was somehow only partially arbitrary. It had a solid vision behind it, and it has it for the rest people. 6.0 for entertainment is a Moon run, it's just how people are taking it (including me), simply because they have the idea of how a clear Vault and a clear Moon runs look like, how entertaining they are. So we can still judge in a similar fashion. And it appears, this run does indeed belong to Vault, because most of the raters didn't give it 6 or more for entertainment. I do believe they also consider 6+ a Moon rating, and intentionally don't give it. turska: this is a weird case. Vocal feedback would have been the same (clear Moons), and the ratings will still disparage it. One can never be sure, because: [2214] Coleco Jumpman Junior by adelikat in 04:48.58

This is just wrong, though. Disassembling requires programming knowledge.

Disassembling requires looking up opcode mnemonics. And ASM has little to do with what most people understand by the term "programming languages". Also, you can't really learn ASM (only basics of how it works), since it varies so much, especially on consoles. Disassembling requires knowing what to do with debugger.

The art of TAS has surpassed merely playing a game. TASing is the game itself, and sometimes even that is eclipsed by making things play that game for you too. Metagaming of sorts. The best players of this game know how to break all the rules, and this necessitates understanding the architecture and peculiarities of the target, and of the tools used to work said target.

http://tasvideos.org/ReverseEngineering.html Knowing programming languages doesn't help you in figuring out RNG, because games are in ASM (unless you really want to learn that good luck MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA). It only helps you write good lua scripts, but writing good lua scripts can be very much learned from reading good lua scripts written by others (and editing them). That was my path: TASing => Lua => Debugging => C.

For now I only can say that it sounds slightly less wrong with the included tasSPU(-f). Some video plugins give errors too, but tasGPU looks okay. Looking deeper into it now...

What resolution were downloadables at? Last time I was using native and it was stretched by the player. It worked (since I was a senior pubisher), but it's possible to reduce the size by using ctr22 without quality loss. You can still do the HQs.

Read that thread and see the absurd level of support towards its fantastic entertainment value. Then see how they were asked to actually prove that support with ratings. See how they suddenly stopped giving a fuck about their own ridiculous support hype. Go WTF. This is exactly why I'm adding a note about moving something between tiers for borderline cases. I wonder how fun will shitload be if I accepted it to Vault listening to my instincts (add here possibility to reject something uncertain, and things get way hotter). As I said, each time I accepted something uncertain to Vault, there were always people mad about it.

feos looks at #3795: Samsara's NES Moon Crystal in 08:35.12 votes. feos looks at #3795: Samsara's NES Moon Crystal in 08:35.12 judgment note. feos does the same all the time. others do the opposite, get complained about it, and it's still officially more legit. feos fails to understand how that fucking instinct is supposed to work.

The opposite is now suddenly impossible. If it's vaulted by a judge, there is no way on earth to moon it afterwards. Because judge's decisions in borderline cases are always "right" (from what I'm getting on IRC right now).
