[quote] Regarding ESC feature, the only reason I'm really disallowing it at the moment, is because the only person outside myself to do an RTA attempt did so explicitly banning the feature, and because it isn't entirely clear to me yet which ports have some sort of ESC feature to utilize (like GB, SNES, or what have ya). I can see the pros and cons for allowing for both. [/quote] Well, if you don't use it now, you'll have two runs not using it, and it'll only make it have more of an impact if you change it later. I'd suggest switching over right away. If there's no reason to ban it, don't ban it. :) Ports don't matter, as they are separated anyway. Just remove the rule, and it can be used in whatever versions it is present. :)

responded on lemmings forums,

but yea, I will have either changes rules to allow usage of ESC tonight, or create the subcategories. If you have a run you'd like to submit, feel free to do so, I can make any changes to the run this evening to reflect whatever gets set up.

I'm not particularly interested in running this game, sorry. :) It's been years since I last played it, anyway... but this is one of the games I most care about, so I'm following it on speedrun.com for that reason. ;)

I just wanted to start running, but then I noticed: the Escape rule is still in place. Why? It makes things's needlessly difficult, and there's a parameter for Escape or not now anyway.

I'll update the rules this evening. As of now, whether an individual uses ESC or not just needs to be marked in either run; The runs aren't separated, but I left that as an option going forward in case there is an increase of runs from people.
