Ever felt that spark of competition, that urge to be the best? For speedrunners, it's a daily pursuit of shaving milliseconds off their times. But what if I told you there's a chance to claim a "world record" without the years of grinding and mastering intricate glitches? That's right, the era of the **FAKE Speedrun Contest** has arrived in Minecraft, and it's all about fun, creativity, and a good laugh. Inspired by the buzz from The Weekly Thing's video, we're diving headfirst into a competition that promises bragging rights and hilarious attempts. This isn't about achieving the impossible #PB; it's about joining a community event and showcasing your unique take on a speedrun.
What is the FAKE Speedrun Contest?
This isn't your typical #speedrun. Forget the meticulously planned routes and frame-perfect inputs required for an actual #WR. This contest is designed for pure entertainment. Think of it as a parody, a celebration of the speedrunning spirit without the pressure of actual competition. The goal is to create the most entertaining, the most absurd, or the most hilariously botched speedrun attempt possible. This is your chance to get on the leaderboards for something truly unique.
Why Participate? The Fun Factor
In the world of #speedrunning, achievements are earned through immense dedication. While we respect every #speedrunner out there, from masters of #RandomSeedGlitchless to pioneers of new #SpeedrunningStrategies, this contest offers a different kind of reward: pure, unadulterated fun.
* **No Pressure**: No need to spend months perfecting a single segment. Just jump in, have fun, and submit your best (or worst!) attempt.
* **Creativity Unleashed**: This is your canvas to get as creative as you want. Use unconventional tactics, embrace random #RNG, or just try to get lost on your way to the Ender Dragon.
* **Community Engagement**: It's a fantastic way to connect with the #GamingCommunity, share laughs, and see what wild ideas others come up with. Submitting your run to the
Discord server is the first step.
* **A Taste of Speedrunning Glory**: Ever wanted to see your name on a leaderboard? Now's your chance, even if it's for a "fake" record!
The Rules of Engagement (Sort Of)
Since this is a "fake" speedrun contest, the rules are... flexible. The spirit of the competition is key.
* **Play the Game**: It must be a recognizable Minecraft speedrun attempt, even if it's intentionally bad. This means starting a new world (or using a seed, if you're feeling spicy) and aiming to beat the Ender Dragon.
* **Video Evidence Required**: You'll need to record your attempt. This allows the community to witness your glorious (or tragic) journey.
* **The "Fake" Element**: This is where you shine! What makes your speedrun "fake"?
* **Intentional Mistakes**: Did you forget how to craft a furnace? Did you get lost in a cave for an hour? Did you accidentally trade all your emeralds to a villager?
* **Absurd Strategies**: Are you trying to beat the game by only using a fishing rod? Are you attempting to tame a hundred wolves before fighting the dragon?
* **Creative Commentary**: Your commentary can elevate a simple attempt into pure comedy.
* **Unconventional Setups**: Using mods for comedic effect? Trying a challenge that makes the speedrun objectively harder and funnier?
The beauty of this contest is its lack of rigid structure. We want to see your personality shine through your attempt.

What Makes a Good Fake Speedrun?
It's not just about being bad at Minecraft. A genuinely entertaining "fake" speedrun has elements that make it stand out.
* **Humor**: Is it genuinely funny? Did you have us in stitches with your failed attempts or absurd strategies?

* **Originality**: Did you come up with a truly unique way to make the speedrun difficult or hilarious?
* **Clarity of Intent**: Is it clear that this is a lighthearted, humorous attempt rather than a genuine (but failed) speedrun?
Not Your Average Speedrun Analysis
We're not talking about optimizing #elytra strategies or dissecting obscure #glitches here. This is about the joy of playing. While some top-tier speedrunners like
Dream or
Couriway have pushed the boundaries of what's possible in #minecraftspeedrun, this contest celebrates the opposite end of the spectrum. It’s about the failed #PB attempts, the moments where #RNG decides to actively work against you, and the sheer, unadulterated fun of playing a game we all love. This isn't about being the best #speedrunner; it's about being the most entertaining.
Embracing the Chaos
This contest is a breath of fresh air in a speedrunning community that can sometimes feel incredibly high-stakes. It's a reminder that at its core, gaming is about enjoyment. Whether you're aiming for a true #WorldRecord or a hilariously botched run, the shared experience and the laughter are what truly matter. So, grab your pickaxe, spawn into a new world, and prepare to break all the "rules." Your fake speedrun journey starts now! Who knows, you might just set a record that will stand for... well, at least until the next fake contest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use mods for my submission?
For this specific contest, the spirit is to aim for a standard Minecraft experience, but with humorous twists. While heavy modding might detract from the "speedrun" aspect, minor mods that enhance the comedic effect or create unique challenges could be acceptable. It's best to check the Discord for specific guidelines on mods.
Is there a time limit for submissions?
The contest is ongoing as long as the community is engaged! However, it's always a good idea to check the Discord server for any specific deadlines or event phases that might be announced.
What makes a speedrun truly "fake"?
A "fake" speedrun is characterized by intentional absurdity, comedic fails, or a complete disregard for optimal strategies. This could involve getting lost, making basic crafting mistakes, using silly tactics, or having hilariously bad commentary. It's about the entertainment value derived from a non-optimal, often chaotic, attempt to beat the game.
Who judges the runs?
The community itself often decides what's funniest or most entertaining. Submissions are shared on Discord, and the most popular or hilarious runs are often celebrated. While there might not be a formal judging panel, the community's reaction is the ultimate validator.
Can I submit multiple runs?
Absolutely! The more, the merrier. If you have multiple hilariously bad speedruns, feel free to share them. Just make sure each submission is unique and clearly intended for the contest.
So, are you ready to embrace the chaos and claim your (fake) glory? Head over to the Discord, get recording, and let the fun begin!
