A friendly debate occured at metroid2002 in order to solve a problem nate figured,
here.
Everybody wrote lots of good observations towards the fact that people might not understand what a TAS is.
Propositions such as putting the word "cheated" were presented, but were disapproved by some users, and now we have been considering the problem solver as something that the TAS community would accept.
I proposed something else than a splash screen at the beggining of a movie, a video that shows how a TAS works, according to my theory that people don't guess what can a TAS be, since they don't have another picture in mind different to "the player has a controller and is playing on real-time conditions in front of her (his) TV."
Actually that also generated a lot of controversy, but could actually have your approval.
So, feel free to say what you think about it, how you would like it, and, if you can, record, animate, orchestrate something that shows a tool-assisted emulator system, such as slowdowns, savestates, frame-by-frame processing etc...
Just in order to get things straight : I want, as for the m2k2 topic, the topic to be a friendly debate about the question. Please, let this conversation be ordered : I made this for TASers and for real-time players, I love TAS and I love real-time speedruns, and I want no hatred against anyone, for I made that topic in order to help TASvideos and Speed Demos Archive about that problem.
Thanks in advance, I'm counting on you.
