Giant mole Speed run
Recently I had an idea of hosting a speed running event. I tried to think of something that wouldn't take forever but would still offer enough time to offer some variation on routing and choices.
The goal would be to start a new regular account and as fast as possible level the account and kill the Giant mole.
Since this is something I've never done before I've come up with some rules and some requirements.
Requirements:
All runs must be recorded fully using recording software of your choice (I would suggest obs)
Must use livesplits to time your run.
Account username must have "ReMole" in it
Rules:
Regular accounts
No starter kit (must drop it or create a 2nd account cause it wont get one)
No vote books
No Trading (of any sort including picking up others drops)
Timer starts as soon as you pick your account type (regular account)
Timer ends as soon as loot shows up on ground after killing mole.
Safespotting allowed.
Autotypers/3rd party assistance not allowed (ex. auto typers to type ::thieve)
You can use guilded altar. (suggest using "altar")
You can set up a private instance on an alt.
You cannot do anything that would benefit you from using another account. Besides having a private instance set up on an alt. (ex. Body blocking, swapping items, using vote books, weakening boss.)
May add more rules in the future if anything stupid happens that obviously shouldn't be allowed. (If i think its not fair i will ban it and runs using those methods will not count)
Use common sense.
When going in to the mole cave pause your timer as soon as you enter and start it back up as soon as you attack the mole.
If you try to cheat at all you will be disqualified.
