I think a Low% would basically be the same as our current Any% since the fastest runs usually make the least amount of moves

I got the idea because Pencil Sharpening Simulator has an IRL category, so I thought a similar thing can be implemented here

What would people thing of doing a speedrun of the IRL game of speedrun? It sounds like a bizarre and interesting concept

It is an interesting concept. However, these two rules would probably cause an invalidation of your run using this method: "-All runs with deck manipulation need to show GAME reset.

-All runs need to show the screen where you choose the game. (Draw 1 or Draw 3, Vegas or non-Vegas)" I don't think you'd be able to fill both of these conditions with this method. (Also, I believe to bring a deck over you'd have to already start it on PC, and we reject runs that start midway through)

Yomismo28 The current WR seed was found by resetting several times if I am correct. The top runners have all said if they need to they'll keep resetting to get a certain deck.

It's not hard to understand. The issue is that without certain rules being set in place people can abuse the fact that there are relatively few seeds in Easy mode and people can claim they reset to get their deck, meaning set deck runs would top random and there wouldn't be any way to prove they set it. I'm giving ideas to help your argument be accepted. I wasn't defending the decision, I was showing you why it's hard to make a decision. This is a new issue that needs a complex system to prove people are/aren't cheating the leaderboard.

Plus it's just a game and a category that was made as a joke. Be patient.

I suppose there is a solution if a decision is made to split the category based on Pattern method. Theoretically, random patterns could deal a new deck twice (like this: ) to show that they aren't using a set pattern.

I agree with Saradoc that I don't like this "trick" either. However, we can't ban it nor can we separate the category between Set and Random for a couple of reasons. People can use this trick for Random Pattern runs since you can theoretically reset several times over to get a pattern. People can use this trick and break the record for Random Pattern runs claiming that they reset normally and got the pattern. We also cannot ban the trick for the exact same reason. The current state of things allows us to see that what they are doing isn't using scripts to move the cards but just the results of practice.

Right now we aren't planning to split them and set pattern runs will be verified but with stricter guidelines. They have to show their reset to better show that they aren't scripting or anything.

Another method that could be implemented to make the leaderboards more fair would be a seperation of Random Seed runs and Set Seed runs for 8/10.

The category is 8/10. This "glitch" as far as we know only works/can only be don't on Microsoft Solitaire Collection for Windows 10. In my opinion, runs using this should be left unverified until something similar is found on Windows 8 as to not give an unfair advantage to those running on Windows 10.

I agree. Microsoft Solitaire Collection (8/10/Mobile) should have its own category. So should Vista and XP

Microsoft Solitaire Collection is valid, as well as Microsoft Solitaire Mobile
