It would be really nice if NMG was something that applied to more categories, like Death Wish, or ATP. Firstly it's incredibly unfair that people that wanna run ATP or Death Wish but don't want to use glitches are already at a massive disadvantage and could never hope to be competitive. Secondly, some people (like myself) think the glitches are a lot of the times really not fun to watch.

You could try and learn the glitches. Speedrunning is about learning and it takes a lot of time.

There could be good reasons to add NMG/Lagless to other leaderboards but those reasons are not it, that's like saying that the leaderboard is unfair to people that don't want to sprint in runs because they don't like watching hat kid sprinting. It's your choice to do a strat or not.

That said, the main reason there's not NMG in ATP is because there is no interest in it, there's no point in adding a leaderboard if only 1 person is gonna be there. If you really want to do NMG strats in ATP you can try to beat my base ATP run that I did for the memes some time ago:

speedrunning is also about accessibility, but i guess this community just wants to be as exclusive as possible. thanks for the replies, ive lost interest in running this game.

generally to add a new category you'd need to show proof of interest in adding said category, i.e. do it yourself first

not that it matters much in this case because bro decided he was outta here but there does not need to be a leaderboard to do a speedrun. if enough people run the category, it'll probably get added to leaderboards eventually (can't say for every community, i'm not an AHAT runner, but that's the experience i've seen pretty much everywhere except for the site itself which decided geoguessr wasn't accepted onto the site for like 2 years despite having dozens of runs before being added finally)

You lost interest quite fast.
