[2026-03-06 23:31:30+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705 joins the race.
[2026-03-06 23:32:31+00:00] SwordySux210#6154 joins the race.
[2026-03-06 23:34:02+00:00] brianwilliams42 joins the race.
[2026-03-06 23:41:27+00:00] Cirnotheicefairy#6798: Good afternoon everyone! Swordy, once I roll the seed we can click the link that will generate, copy and paste the checksum, and get the game ready. We'll wait on the selection of the text speed screen until everyone hits the ready button. Once everyone does, it counts down from 15 seconds, and at zero select your text speed to start.
[2026-03-06 23:42:38+00:00] Cirnotheicefairy#6798: After you beat the dragonlord and finish talking to the king, when the text scrolls that the kingdom is saved, unless the dragons return again, that's the time to click finish here to lock in your time.
[2026-03-06 23:42:43+00:00] DiabeetusThe2nd#8420: Swordy, you're in good hands with the field here. Basic procedure is roll seed when the expected start is imminent; generate seed; copy checksum and post it here to confirm everyone is on the same seed; open game and navigate to Select Message Speed without advancing further; click [Ready] above; the countdown timer begins when everyone has readied up; start when the timer hits 0; click [Done] after returning to the King post-Dragonlord and finishing the dialogue; if you do not finish, click [Forfeit].
[2026-03-06 23:42:55+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: looks like swordy doesn't have a twitch linked, so i don't think they will be able to ready up?
[2026-03-06 23:43:05+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: unless cirno turned off the streaming requirement
[2026-03-06 23:43:13+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: you can also override the stream requirement
[2026-03-06 23:43:23+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: by clicking on the three horizontal lines next to Not ready
[2026-03-06 23:43:23+00:00] Cirnotheicefairy#6798: I only change the hide comments, so everything else should be default
[2026-03-06 23:43:42+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: you'll likely need to override swordy's stream requirement or swordy will have to link a twitch
[2026-03-06 23:43:58+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: it's best practice to stream your races
[2026-03-06 23:44:01+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: or record them locally
[2026-03-06 23:44:17+00:00] Cirnotheicefairy#6798: Hmm, when I click those three lines, I only get the option to remove them, or to promote to race monitor
[2026-03-06 23:44:19+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: generally we always stream our races to provide proof
[2026-03-06 23:44:25+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: probably need to be a category mod then
[2026-03-06 23:44:32+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: i bet brian/db2 can do it. or you can edit the race
[2026-03-06 23:44:35+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: and change the setting
[2026-03-06 23:44:37+00:00] brianwilliams42: sure
[2026-03-06 23:44:47+00:00] brianwilliams42: its off by default tho
[2026-03-06 23:44:54+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: oh okay
[2026-03-06 23:45:00+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: i'm used to it being on, nevermind
[2026-03-06 23:45:23+00:00] brianwilliams42: unless someone edited it already before me, but it was off when i just looked
[2026-03-06 23:45:44+00:00] Cirnotheicefairy#6798: I haven't changed anything.
[2026-03-06 23:46:09+00:00] DiabeetusThe2nd#8420: It's off by default in Standard/Non-Standard; on in Tournament/League iirc.
[2026-03-06 23:46:40+00:00] DiabeetusThe2nd#8420: I don't have the power to change the defaults to in-race disable comment visibility.
[2026-03-06 23:47:08+00:00] SwordySux210#6154: wait did it already start
[2026-03-06 23:47:13+00:00] Cirnotheicefairy#6798: Yeah, I know you've tried a few times with that DB. Not a big deal
[2026-03-06 23:47:20+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: the race has not started
[2026-03-06 23:47:24+00:00] Cirnotheicefairy#6798: Nope! I will roll the seed in a few moments.
[2026-03-06 23:47:38+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: the race won't start until a seed has been rolled and then we all have to ready up
[2026-03-06 23:47:45+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: or cirno can force start it lol
[2026-03-06 23:48:19+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: there will be a timer in the race room that starts counting down when we all ready up
[2026-03-06 23:48:23+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: it will count down from 15 seconds to 0
[2026-03-06 23:48:29+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: you don't start playing until the timer gets to 0
[2026-03-06 23:48:39+00:00] Cirnotheicefairy#6798: So the equivelent of doing a count down from 3, and at 1 I start running before saying go so I get a head start, lol
[2026-03-06 23:49:51+00:00] DiabeetusThe2nd#8420: Oh, one other thing -- while in-race chat is on here, generally chat is discouraged unless you're communicating a technical issue. So I would avoid that altogether.
[2026-03-06 23:49:55+00:00] MiliusPyros#3956 joins the race.
[2026-03-06 23:50:11+00:00] brianwilliams42: ^ we definitely want to avoid spoilers for anyone still playing
[2026-03-06 23:50:23+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: it's also distracting seeing chat scroll by
[2026-03-06 23:50:33+00:00] brianwilliams42: so its fully quiet until everyone's done, or basically a couple ggs. chat comes after everyone finishes
[2026-03-06 23:50:45+00:00] SwordySux210#6154: alright
[2026-03-06 23:51:32+00:00] DiabeetusThe2nd#8420: And if it's not obvious, pulling up someone's stream or getting help in other ways is also not allowed. You're fine to access resources like the guide or maps or whatever though.
[2026-03-06 23:52:46+00:00] SwordySux210#6154: what emulator do we have to use
[2026-03-06 23:53:00+00:00] Cirnotheicefairy#6798: Any NES emulator is fine.
[2026-03-06 23:53:13+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: i think there are a few that are discouraged
[2026-03-06 23:53:29+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: fceux is popular
[2026-03-06 23:53:37+00:00] Cirnotheicefairy#6798: Oh, my mistake, I didn't realize that. I use Mesen myself.
[2026-03-06 23:53:38+00:00] MiliusPyros#3956: I think 1 emulator crash if the seed is more than 2H
[2026-03-06 23:53:39+00:00] DiabeetusThe2nd#8420: Mesen, FCEUX, RetroArch are probably the most common.
[2026-03-06 23:53:53+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: there's some speedup bug iirc
[2026-03-06 23:53:56+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: which is obviously not ideal
[2026-03-06 23:54:08+00:00] Cirnotheicefairy#6798: Going to roll
[2026-03-06 23:54:18+00:00] SwordySux210#6154: oh boy
[2026-03-06 23:54:19+00:00] Cirnotheicefairy#6798: !Summer

[2026-03-06 23:56:14+00:00] Cirnotheicefairy#6798: Ahh. I used to use Nestopia, but I had other issues with it that made me switch.
[2026-03-06 23:56:18+00:00] SwordySux210#6154: Im so cooked O_o
[2026-03-06 23:57:10+00:00] Cirnotheicefairy#6798: For a 1st race I'd say your goal should just be to finish. Not a one of us here started out good at this game. It took many races and practice to develop.
[2026-03-06 23:57:57+00:00] SwordySux210#6154: idk if I can even do that from the seed I tried earlier today
[2026-03-06 23:58:04+00:00] SwordySux210#6154: but damn well will I try
[2026-03-06 23:58:05+00:00] brianwilliams42: cirno never rolls a bad seed, should be fine
[2026-03-06 23:58:16+00:00] Cirnotheicefairy#6798: ...You set the flag, Brian!
[2026-03-06 23:58:23+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: be glad it's not me rolling
[2026-03-06 23:58:37+00:00] brianwilliams42: true the bot rolled
[2026-03-06 23:58:45+00:00] HoodyTwoShoes#5705: the bot knows
[2026-03-06 23:58:58+00:00] DestinyofaDragonWarrior#1528: thanks everyone for helping our new friend get going, good luck!

[2026-03-06 23:59:35+00:00] brianwilliams42: paper tracker is where its at
[2026-03-06 23:59:44+00:00] Cirnotheicefairy#6798: Ready up whenever you are at message select and are basically ready to play. I will hit ready on my end in 1 minute.
