After discussion among the mods, we've reached an agreement to make a couple of rule changes to the boards. These changes will go into effect at the posting of this news post, so please pay attention to the changes below.

• The callvote command will be banned in all categories from now on. Calling votes was never possible on original hardware, and is only possible in the game because of how it's based off of the old PC version of this game, so it doesn't make sense to allow it.

• The main timing method will be based off of In Game Time. Compared to playing the game on original hardware, playing on PC allows you to skip finale cutscenes and menu navigation by using the "map" command, which isn't possible normally. Rather than banning this QoL feature, the timing rules will instead be set so that there's no advantage or disadvantage to playing on hardware that can or cannot use the "map" command.

Additionally, there's a new autosplitter available for download in Resources that will automatically use In Game Time based on the rules. Be sure to download that for your runs to have them be automatically retimed. I'll hopefully be able to get it implemented in LiveSplit within the next day or two. I've seen it occasionally fail to split on finale cutscenes, so make sure to pay attention to the splits until I'm able to hammer down the issue more.

If you have any questions regarding these rules, feel free to contact me or any of the other moderators for this game, or alternatively just use the Forums. Thank you for reading this post!
