Just curious. Would it continue to be your intention to bump both these threads every 45 minutes?

Well, Europa Universalis III did have this Hall of Fame Thread.
Maybe its time to start one for EU IV (If there isn't one already.)

EDIT: Fastest World Conquest 20 February, 1750 as Ryukyu by Kingepyon
Note that apparently only records submited by the actual person obtaining them are added, thus there might be WCs a lot faster, also this was done with freaking Ryuku

This is actually a kind of interesting question. You could assume that as soon as the siege timer was positive that the siege was won the next tick, which means the limiting factors would actually be travel time and DoW limitations rather than siege length.
"Location: Lower Silesia" - Lower Silesia is Dolny Śląsk in Poland. Mieszkasz na śląsku? Ja jestem Polakiem, ale mieszkam w Warszawie.
Why? Jake did it by 1812 or so and he makes quite a few mistakes in his playthrough, mostly because he is streaming and as much as he is willing to pause to figure things out, he still makes mistakes with troop movements and so on.
The poster who made it showed screenshots of unit model vs date that require more monarch points to reach than your cap, claims conquering Ming in 40 years by luck, and his score suggests he got Ryukyu as a #1 in MIL, DIP, and ADM within a very short period of time. He then admits that he cheated to do all the screenshots except the first one which is supposedly legit.
You buying that? It's like claiming Ray Rice acted 100% in self defense or something. For example:

Edit: In addition to a fishy score:
This alone is pretty damning evidence. Ryukyu, with a little prep, can probably finish a couple wars in that timeframe, but there is no way to get #1/#1/#1 within 10 years as Ryukyu. You can't get the tech, military, income, and ships to even surpass several nations that do nothing the first 10 years, such as Ming. France, Austria, Burgundy, and even woofer leaders like Castile will out-tech you if you spend monarch points on expansion with your starting ruler. Even if you could somehow luck into conquering Ming's 100's of base tax (Shun alone has over 200) in 40 years as claimed, you still wouldn't be #1/#1/#1 within 10.
First claiming the Bohemia fight was same-game and later calling that a cheating test-game was odd too, as is to be current in tech in all 3 categories with 1-tag WC and Chinese tech. If you were to have 6/6/6 ruler the whole game with +3 advisors, you could get around 44000 points/category by 1750. To get to ADM 27 from ADM 2, you need 24000 ADM points before neighbor bonus, ideas, and of course "increase over time", though of course all those ideas he has, while reducing the cost, do cost points themselves.
We're talking ~1000ish tax (a bit more) for coring via ADM and another 1300-1500 in annexing vassals...of course assuming 0 of his peace deals cost DIP! You can bring this down with administrative ideas and claims, but not enough. If you average 3/3/3 rulers across a playthrough you only get 33000 points, and even then you only get 33000 points if you had +3 advisors constantly. That's the reality of a 1-tag Chinese nation with ADM 27, DIP 28, and MIL 27 with tons of ideas in 1750 and that kind of score.
"Jake did it" is not in play here. Even with heavy usages of ADM-and-DIP-from-nowhere (hiking up his effective monarch point income far beyond average levels) and protectorate status, Jake did not get a 1-tag WC, or even close. This guy supposedly got more monarch points than Jake with the religious unity trick by miles and then shaved the cost enough to stay on-time while conquering the world with Chinese tech + animist?
Hold on. Let me just do the "integrate" console command and then shop in a fist icon for ironman. What's a good date to do that, 1740? I bet I can write a really entertaining story about how I did it too.

Oh, that ironman icon is a fist? I always thought it was a castle tower or something like that...
Since you can't go back to the earliest versions of the game, 1.5 version of Minghals with becoming a protectorate would probably be fastest.
I dunno, united HRE via truce chaining could give minghal a run for its money, especially before you stopped being able to add provinces outside Europe. As a special touch you could then war all the natives in the new world at the same time and annex them simultaneously, giving true 1-tag WC (if a bit overextended).
