PSA: Slight rule change to non-IL categories
7 years ago
Hampshire, England

Hey guys, the rule "Any times that wish to be considered WR must be done from a fresh game start" was just added to every non-IL category that didn't already have strict restarting rules (Currently Any%, All Missions, All Tags / Snaps / Horseshoes / Oysters / Collectibles / USJ). This means: YOU MUST SHOW THE GAME LOADING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE VIDEO.

The reason a game restart is needed is because of various carryover effects between new games while the game is still running, such as XP on stats, loaded vehicles etc.

We decided not to enforce the rule on every runner, since the amount of time possible to gain is minor and restarting the game on every attempt when your new to the game/category just trying to finish your first run would be brutal. However at the high end of the leaderboard it could be used for an unfair advantage by those looking to get a prestigious WR. As such we used the wording "Any time that wishes to be considered WR...". This means that anyone who has a hope of getting a WR (say top 5 runners or whatever) would be encouraged to follow the rule to avoid disappointment.

Anyone found to be intentionally abusing the carryover effects would probably be rejected anyway, but the rule makes it so that there can be no question on whether they did or not. (by enforcing showing first load in video)
