ROUND ENDED 14 MINUTES AGO, sorry about the late announcement. Congrats everyone! Results sometime tomorrow, going to a concert tonight
not sure if you guys are realising this but i am taking this ghosting so seriously that my ghosts are too long for frhd to handle and are showing up as not completed. the things i do for frhd

Perhaps he was there first and Theft just got lucky with that glitch where it puts him in first. It might be sorted alphabetically after the times. That could be the cause. But I thought I saw Theft there first, so I don't know.
Do you happen know if the ties accurately show who was the slightest bit faster or if it just doesn’t register anything past a hundredth of a second? I always assumed it didn’t register further; obviously it doesn’t display further.
"Fun Fact": No one has ever finished 1st place in every single round in a big ghosting contest (that has medals for it) before on FRHD. There were some close calls like Anonyymi on FRWC3 (didn't ghost one round after he won) and FRWC4 (the legend ZPresley got a win over him), but it was actually never accomplished. First time, maybe? Cerasium Theft PS: WrzodX did it twice in some og contests, though. Respect!
No, I couldn't tell you. I figured one had to be slightly quicker, but there's no way for the backend to determine that. I never really looked into it, so I think my theory is probably most likely.
im just gonna put it out there that im aware of 2 cuts on this track that could push winning time down to less than a minute. hope you guys are having fun
You might be running low on time, we're pretty far in... EDIT: If I had as much free time as I did during my peak on the site (like ~2019), I promise I wouldn't allow that to continue through every single round.
does thefts ghost rely on a glitcch to get the heli for that long? And if so, aren't glitches not allowed since last round didn't allow the mtb glitch? I am going to hold off in following suite with ghosting it with the glitch, it's not the way the author intended the track to be played and that's how I would go about hosting this contest.
Vehicle glitch is a track exploit, as the track is designed to be played in a certain way, making changing the bike by reloading the page and holding down 'v' a huge advantage in a track, especially when ghosting it. The heli glitch is just a glitch in the game's system, Cerasium already has a featured ghost from using it, and so does Radium I believe. It involves going back to a checkpoint when you're JUST about to pick up the heli powerup (tell me if I'm wrong here). This then adds time to how long you can use the powerup. This requires skill sometimes to pull off and is quite handy, I wouldn't call this cheating though compared to vehicle glitch as it isn't as cheap. Btw, there is a reason why featured ghosts using the vehicle glitch are put in the "Other" category whilst heli glitch ghosts are not.
The reasoning behind the other glitch ban wasn't that its a built-in glitch, its that it's playing the track in a way that isn't intended by the author. Badger could have allowed mtb if he wanted but he didn't. Loge could have allowed more heli time, but he didn't.
from the POV of a trackmaker who has had two tracks butchered by the vehicle glitch, this ^^^^^^^ it's bs, annoying and track breaking, and if i made a trial track for the express purpose of a competition i would not want ppl using any 'glitch' on it. same goes for holding down v, i really dont see how these two cases are different
