''DOSReloaded'' gained considerable attention from the online Stunts community in January 2023, when some of our members decided to join the foreign forum to participate in an ongoing Stunts competition happening in the site. Although the tournament had been running since early 2019, it was at this point when real interaction first occurred between the communities.

Their tournament is managed by posting directly on the forum and they don't perform actual verification of replays, but rely on trust by simply sharing a screenshot. This fact and the participation of a particular racer called [[Mooh]] who appeared to always win with great difference (suggesting potential cheating, and with ease, thanks to the lack of verification) prompted some racers to try to show our way to the "foreigners". The result was akin to that of visitors to the North Sentinel Island. The forum people felt invaded and that their ways were not being respected and reacted very negatively. Our racers decided to withdraw and excuse themselves for the sake of peace.

The competition uses [[NoRH]] and strict no-shortcuts rules, with acceptance of results based on trust.

Stunts tournament

DOSReloaded gained considerable attention from the online Stunts community in January 2023, when some of our members decided to join the foreign forum to participate in a Stunts competition, ongoing since 2019, held in the site.

The competition uses NoRH and strict no-shortcuts rules, with acceptance of results based on trust. A high score screenshot (as opposed to, say, a replay file) is typically deemed as sufficient evidence of a result. The differing attitudes about verification across the two communities, along with questions about how to interpret the OWOOT-like rules, led the newcomers to try and start a conversation about rules, which quickly became tense. Uncomfortable at being seemingly perceived as meddlesome outsiders, our racers have scaled down their involvement since.
