Howdy everyone,

The polls have ended and the results are in! Here are the results:

1. ALL PRE-v1.0.19 AND FARM HOUSE PRE-v2.2 RUNS HAVE BEEN MOVED TO THE LEVELS LEADERBOARD OF THE CATEGORY EXTENSION

2. DESPITE THE VOTES NO BATTERIES / NO PERKS WILL STAY ON THE MAINBOARD DUE TO TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS AND FORMATING ON THE SRC

3. MULTIPLE MAP CATEGORIES WILL BE CREATED. THE 2 MAPS CATEGORY WILL BE ADDED TO THE CATEGORY EXTENSION LEVEL BOARD WHILE A 3 MAP CATEGORY WILL BE ADDED TO THE MAINBOARD. ONCE THE TOWN COMES OUT THE 3 MAP CATEGORY WILL BE MOVED/ARCHIVED TO CE, AND A 4 MAP CATEGORY WILL TAKE ITS PLACE. THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE EACH TIME A NEW MAP COMES OUT

4. A "NO MED KITS" CATEGORY WILL NOT BE CREATED ON THE CATEGORY EXTENSION

5. A "NO FLASHLIGHTS" CATEGORY WILL NOT BE CREATED ON THE CATEGORY EXTENSION

6. A "FASTEST DEATH" CATEGORY WILL NOT BE CREATED ON THE CATEGORY EXTENSION

7. A "TAS BOT" CATEGORY HAS BEEN CREATED ON THE CATEGORY EXTENSION

8. AN "ALL KEYS" CATEGORY WILL NOT BE CREATED ON THE CATEGORY EXTENSION

A huge thank you to everyone who voted and gave us their opinions on the situation. Both the Mainboard and the Category Extension boards have been updated and are ready for use! All pre-v1.0.19 and Farmhouse pre-v2.2 runs have been moved to the Level Leaderboard on the CE and a 2 Map Category has been created there as well. The Level Leaderboard on the CE will act as a sort of archive for old categories, and multi-map runs will be moved here as new maps are released. For example, you'll notice that the Mainboard currently has a 3 Map category, while the 2 Map category sits in the archive. Once the Town is released a 4 Map category will take the place of the 3 Map category on the Mainboard, and the 3 Map category will be moved to the CE Level Leaderboard alongside the 2 Map category. We thought it didn't make sense to have the multi-map categories start with 3 or 4 maps. Since maps are released one at a time so sporadically, we wanted each "era" of the game to be represented. Keep in mind, you are more than welcome to still run the archived categories. In fact, there are currently no 2 Maps runs at all, so we encourage you all to do so.

In regards to moving No Batteries / No Perks to the Category Extension: While this vote did pass, after looking into it the mods all agreed it just wasn’t possible. If we moved all of the No Batteries / No Perks runs to the CE it’d 1. Take a mass amount of time and 2. It just wasn’t possible with how the variables work on the SRC. It’s pretty much the same reason we didn’t move the Hard Difficulty there. We did, however, make Batteries / Perks the default category on both the Mainboard and CE. So when you go to look at the leaderboard or submit a run it’ll default to that category.

I will say this before I go: The Category Extension Board is looking INCREDIBLY light since the only category there is TAS Bot. If you have any ideas for “meme” categories please shoot us mods a message or put them in the “Suggestions” tab of the Discord.

Thank you all so much for your patience through all this. These Leaderboard changes have been a long time coming, and having this massive overhaul out of the way makes it feel like a weight has been lifted off our shoulders. As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to message Infinite, Skoosh, or me on the SRC. Alternatively, there’s always the option of joining the Discord and messaging us on there! Stay safe and happy running!

Edit: If you have any runs that date back before version 2.2 please get in contact with me so I can add them to the Category Extension Level Leaderboard. There are currently a ton of runs floating in the aether right now that we can't see because they technically aren't classified under a map. Thank you!
