New Categories Voting System
8 years ago
Italy

I feel like the same specific amount of votes for EVERY category/changement everyone'd like to be done is kinda wrong. Talking about adding categories, I guess the more a category is arbitrary/similar to another one, the more it'd need votes. Setting insane amounts would be just bad, since not a lot of people frequent these threads. Talking about making a category miscellaneous and viceversa, as long as no one is putting votes against what you're voting to, it doesn't really require a specific amount too. But I think we'd really like to set a max number of main categories, or maaaybe use the sub-categories option like it's been done w/ Super Mario Sunshine (http://www.speedrun.com/sms) (I actually don't know how it'd look, not really good I think ._.) Also, about the ILs thing, I honestly think choosing a powerup for every level and set it as a category would be arbitrary but if the community is fine with it, I'm fine with it too. Especially because the powerup we'd stick with would be the fastest one, right? Maybe setting ILs category like ¤no powerups/mushroom¤ ¤fire flower¤ ¤blue shell¤ ¤mini¤, would be better, I don't know. About adding all exits, I think it's just too soon, until I see at the very least a run of All Exits.

My votes go to: Any% Secret World to be added as a category All Castles to be added as a category Any% NSE to be a Misc. category ¤it's the most second ran category, but the only video proof we currently have is just one by GregLvk (mine is coming). Any% on IWs

I'm really glad this community is growing ˙ ͜ʟ˙

That sounds really good Mishu. I'm going to edit my post.

@koffingrockz Is it allowed to downvote something in your vote system?

Virginia, USA

I have considered downvoting but that's up to the community. I just don't want to discourage people if people don't like the category idea.

Virginia, USA

I vote for any% IW's. IW definition: start from the arrow and finish off the castle boss. No level skipping is allowed.

Italy

What I meant for donwvoting is, for example:

User says: I disagree with having Any% SW as an official category because ¤reasons¤.

| V

Any% SW: 5 votes, 1 downvote / 4 votes

Virginia, USA

Oops I made a typo on that definition thing. Meant to say any% IW's. I'll fix that. If you think downvoting is a good idea I'll add that. I downvote All Exits. Read my long post on the all exits thread to learn why.

Italy

I personally think downvoting is really important as long as who is downvoting gives a reason.

So ye, I HIGHLY encourage downvoting as much as I do with voting, as long as people give a v a l i d reason and really know what they're voting/downvoting for.

What's the difference about All Levels and All Exits?

I vote for Cannonless as main category and Any% SW.

North Carolina, USA

I vote for cannonless being main and NSE being misc, because I think cannonless would be the next way after the any% route that people would play the game. Still undecided on the other categories.

I have fully routed all levels. I am just more concerned with any% right now.

North Carolina, USA

Decided on some of the other categories: -downvote all exits because it's too close to all levels and 100% -low% for main category because it sounds really fun

Australia

I attempted all levels but failed miserable on 7-2 yeah low% sounds real fun so full game catagory?

A new doc has been added to the original post. Go there to submit any runs for categories that have not been added yet. This doc will exemplify interest in any given category. Feel free to submit screenshots of splits, videos, or even simply a statement stating that you have done a run or attempts. Anything is good as long as we know there is interest.

Link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10JvnvCzEpVqb2IuX5MF-BD75Gx1_tra6TpFzGDbR_DQ/edit?usp=docslist_api

Categories will be added to the doc whenever a noticable amount of votes has been reached.
