Oh, I’m just running with a bad joke. I don’t do speed runs and my opinion on that play style is relatively obvious, I think. I have never intentionally speed run any Hitman map, ever.

Half or the ones on the leaderboard that ain’t on YT were most likely using impossible techniques that are faster than the world record in speedrunning
I think I put about three total videos on YouTube sometime in 2013. I moved from Chicago to Phoenix and recorded a bit of the drive. I am 95% sure that the videos aren’t on YouTube any longer. I wouldn’t even know how to record game content (and no one would want to watch it anyway).

Then this sucks, some of these discord speedrunner have HMF accounts, just inactive in here, some of them couldv’e gotten this nomination instead, and Tupla is insane, this dude takes the most inconsistent routes and does them consistently, he deserved it more than every nominated player.
Can’t disagree with you there. I even commented on the voting that people shouldn’t have included me in that. I could be insulted at being the butt of the joke, but I’m taking it in what I hope was the intended humor.
Lets hope mistakes like this don’t get repeated, and maybe we should drop the category if like the 10 current best speedrunners aren’t active enough on HMF, just saying
I know that I had trouble voting for certain categories because I don’t have enough knowledge of them to intelligently offer an opinion on who is the best. They are the “Hitman Forum Awards” though and not just the “Hitman Awards”.
Back to the point of this particular thread though, the Flour Power contract is clearly still playable and “winnable”, so IOI could just leave it as is.
On the other hand, it cannot be played in the spirit that it was originally intended to be played, so they could remove it. Up to them.
I lodged a formal request!
Hence they have no further say in the matter. It must be done.
True, but the reasoning you provided is invalid.
Not being able to five star a featured contract is really messed up.
It can be “five starred”…

Theoretically, but not reasonably.
If IO added a challenge of performing 5000 consecutive crouch squats after a kill everyone run I’m sure there would be formal requests too, even though theoretically it can be done.
It’s not theoretical though. I did it last night. Half an hour isn’t egregious for a single contract.
:-o
What possessed you?!?
Are you alright?
Wanted to see if it was still possible to do. The only way to accidentally kill those two targets with fire is to drag both of them down to the data core and set off the cleansing routine (I won’t do gun lures or things like that). To do that, you have to remove a bunch of people from the path. It’s absolutely possible.

I would say altering the requirements would be the better solution, but I would understand if they did remove it for their own ease. I have a sequel to it in the drafting stages so there may be a chance to see the chef return

I’d at the very least change the kill conditions because lucking out that there was exactly one other way to do it SA doesn’t make it any less flawed or broken.
Sorry if I come on a bit strong so I’ll also say that players don’t have to play or SA it. Honestly, it would be a much bigger deal if the kill condition was required so we dodged that bullet.

I think its personally a pretty fun contract because it actually uses the cool parts of Chongqing and showed off that the NPCs there can have some thorough pathing
I need help with the Fallen Sakura contract. There seems to be some inconsistency with “bullet impact noticed” mechanic. When I snipe the window next to the toilets (with fire alarm), or the faucet in the toilet, the lady target goes to investigate. But when I shopt her in the head some guard hears the bullet instead, leading to a body discovered. But why doesn’t the guard react to the first bullet then?
Making the guy target leaning against the wall go check out a bullet impact is very inconsistent for me too.
I’ve looked at YouTube videos but can’t figure it out, they all go so fast.
Is there a slow and steady way of doing this contract?

Did you bring a rifle with the piercing perk? There are a few of them like Druzhina 34 ICA Arctic, so that even if you straight hit a target’s body, the bullet will still penetrate them and impact whatever’s behind the body. I suppose that’s why a nearby npc will come and investigate the sound. You may try ones without such perk like Sieger 300 Ghost.
