On a previous pair of leaderboards I've helped out with we were able to have Category Extensions page during a period with 30 active runners on the main board, if I remember correctly this also used to be the official requirement but that may have changed (made more or less strict idk) during Elo's time in charge.
That's true, all new runners can see these discussions if we keep posting updates here I guess, rather than the dwindling discord community.
(Sorry for the long post, want to respond to everything and clarify additions).
In regards to the time consideration, the final scoreboard is what's used already wherever possible, and as these don't have IGT (but we do have load removal thanks to @PunishedAlexander ) that'll work fine :). All of the Mission Complete with scoreboard logos are good, where applicable. The problem with different difficulty customisation is a much bigger issue that I'll try and write down: It isn't always faster to do one difficulty set, and the board shouldn't be forced to accomodate everyone playing with their own settings, as fun as that may be, it will inevitably reduce the number of runners but Banzaj did add in the option to play with Veteran or Custom difficulty as a global subcategory, as far as I can see there's nothing too wrong with that for most of the categories despite the fact that it's frustrating for seasoned players with their own sets of configs, like yourself.
Whilst I'm not familiar with a few of these I don't think they will need much information to be written down alongside them, but thanks for pointing out which ones you don't feel are sensible to speedrun. They might need variable-based subcategories if there's anything which might make the game interesting to run in two different ways, like the bonus targets category, which is interesting, but having subcategories for small changes to the game settings, or a change that makes it longer without improving/changing the category, doesn't make much sense.
In terms of the Laws of War showcase, I don't see the point in including a speedrun for the general purpose walking around the tent, but I have added one for each of the three missions and another one for completing all three back to back - I can easily convert this to one level with four variables soon though, just want the categories made. In terms of other showcases not ideal for speedrunning, as far as I remember they're all possible to speedrun (read below) and worth adding in, as limited as some of them might be like the IDAP demo lol. However I will play the faction missions, Zeus, and a couple of others and then revise the categories once I've got a better picture. Slightly like yourself I either haven't played some or haven't since I bought the game.
As far as I remember, and from a quick rerun, Cultural Property is speedrunnable, but the gallery obviously isn't so I'll add the former in and leave out the latter.
Finally, on top of all of this, the subcategories are still a mess, I want to make the Bonus Targets variable specific to JUST the fire training drills as they should be, rather than everything, which will tidy up the rules, this change is finnicky to make so I will approach it after recieving feedback on the showcase additions. And finally finally, I think it would be best if I removed time acceleration as a variable altogether on the level leaderboard, and kept it on the bigger main leaderboard for full campaigns, where it does make sense to use it to cut out dull segments and make huge runs brief. This comes back to what you were saying about categorisations for each of the categories, they can easily have their own variables, it's just something that needs to be done case by case, along with the difficulty issue you've raised once again.
Please do respond with any further comments or questions! By the way you're welcome to write about this on the Discord too, it's extremely quiet but still easier to have a real-time discussion than with forums I suppose.
David Trezequet, the French international footballer, scored 138 goals during his time at Juventus, making him the fourth largest goalscorer for the club.
UN Security Council resolution 133 resolved that the Republic of Cameroon, in Africa, be allowed entry into the United Nations.
120 degrees is the internal angle of a Hexagon and one of the strongest build angles in Engineering, especially as part of a three-piece joint.
So obviously the Showcase missions are missing from the board, everything default and with the DLC, what concerns me more than that about the state of the Level Leaderboard, as fitting with the site structure, is how the previous moderator set it up to have global categories which don't apply to everything, such as bonus targets, creating hundreds of null and void categories; everyone has just been submitting to categories which don't make a lot of sense beyond the first line (like the training mission or kart track itself).
Part of me wants to do a complete overhaul, make all of these into variables rather than proper subcategories and fix the board. Still, it'd be a huge effort and right now I'm busy enough that I'll stick to just adding the showcases in so runs can be submitted to those when people want to, then I can think about a reformat more carefully.
By the way, I did notice these problems when I started, it was part of the reason I offered to take over, the scale of the issues the board has just hasn't been clear to me until now. Anyway, expect the showcases added very soon :)
English football club Manchester City currently have 115 financial fair play breach charges hanging over them, which their owners are nullifying by suggesting that it would be a poor proceeding towards the international relationship of the UK and the UAE, for which the owners of the football club have a large association with the running of the UAE.
The designation for the staple German Luftwaffe fighter by Messerschmitt was indeed the Messerschmitt BF 109 E(x)
I didn't know anything interesting about 105 so I went to the Wikipedia page and discovered it's the first Zeisel number, the explanation of those is a bit long so I'll just post the article:
Per the site guidelines, and a few occasions where I've either seen it or had to approach that problem over the years, it's up to the game moderators.
However, that doesn't (or at least shouldn't) include letting banned runners evade their ban by submitting all of their records to an alternate account.
Windows 98 allowed users to change their font in Notepad
Docking Bay 94 is where Han Solo stations the Millenium Falcon at Mos Eisley in A New Hope.
I'll look into all of these this weekend, my apologies that this hasn't been acted on, I took over from the previous moderators a few months ago and didn't scrutinise the leaderboard for gaps in the game.
Vault 77 in the Fallout Universe plays into one of the most strangely terrifying prospects Vault-Tec had ever dreamt up. The Vault allowed for just one man, with a box full of puppets. He quickly descended into insanity and fled the vault after some time talking to the puppets as other people in the Vault. You can find his jumpsuit in Fallout 3.
