Get Rid of the Misc. Categories

Hello :D

The current Miscellaneous categories (Highest Score, Highest Score No Powerups, 50/20 Best Time, and 50/20 Best Time No Powerups) don't really make sense being on this page. Highest Score (and No Powerups) can't really be timed. There isn't a set goal related to time, it's just a high score. You don't need to time anything, because every single run would be 4:30.0. 50/20 (and No Powerups) is even worse. You do time it, but instead of trying to get the shortest time possible, you are trying to get the longest time possible. Again, it's just a high score.

The other categories are endurance tests, and at least take a little bit of RNG or menuing. But the four I mentioned really... don't. Time starts when you start the night, and end when the night ends. Or, they aren't timed at all.

That's what I was thinking.

Dear OP,

They are miscellaneous categories. They are not supposed to be normal categories. That is kind of the entire point. They're separated from the main categories for a reason.

No, that's not the point of Miscellaneous at all. Miscellaneous categories are there because they're a bit different than other categories in some way shape or form. They can be meme categories, unpopular categories, etc.. But they're still always categories. The current Miscellaneous categories aren't related to speedrunning at all.

We'll run a poll on the Discord, and we'll see what happens.

So? That doesn't mean this game needs to go with the same way. Don't come here with that stupid excuse.

I'll remove them now if I have the ability to.
