SDA Apprentice -- (3-1)
Well Mortyre, I can see your point, and while it does seem like it is Nate calling the shots, this run was still fairly verified like all the rest.
The only other thing that could be said about this run was something that the runner mentioned, if you think about it, Nate was really the only person to do a speed run for this game, and chances are no one else would have given it a shot if it was rejected (I've seen this happen about three times myself). Does this mean it should be automatically accepted? No, but in no way was this run accepted just because the runner is an admin. As I said before, while I was a verifier that rejected the run, it was a weak reject due to audio issues, and after being told that the audio is passable, really it comes down to the gameplay, and that right there should tell you something.
Like Nate said at the top: Spare the drama. This isn't as bad as other verifications, and there is no reason to raise conflicts because of this. Just watch the run and enjoy it when it comes out (besides those audio problems only happen during the cutscenes, not like you watch those anyway)...
