Hi, folks. Not sure where to post this thread, so picked here.
Watching SGDQ and thinking about speedrunners retiring, a question occurred to me: who has the longest active speedrunning career?
I asked in #sdamarathon and suggestions on the most likely games were Doom, Quake and Goldeneye. Well, I figured out the current candidate for Doom is Chris Ratcliff (ryback) https://www.doom.com.hr/index.php?page=compet-n_database&cndb=&wad_id=&category_id=&map_id=&player_id=25, who has nearly 19 years between his first record (p3m6-312.zip recorded on 1999-01-17) and most recent (hr161016.zip recorded on 2017-12-08). (But this gives me motivation to get one more Doom run...as if I do, I'd overtake him...)
But it seems rather harder to get the relevant stats out of SDA or speedrun.com for Quake and GoldenEye, so does anyone happen to know who the longest active runners are for those games? Any candidates from other games?
Thanks folks
