Sup Paperboy people o/
I was watching a recent run of theoryjoe's and he had pointed out that the non-perfect delivery categories would actually be faster if we were to treat them as perfect delivery up until the last day, due to skipping the long wait in between days where it informs you of your lost/renewed subscribers. I believe this is definitely the case and would actually make a pretty big difference. What I'm wondering is how we want to approach that since no one has actually done it yet. I like the idea of the non-perfect delivery categories becoming faster, but at the same time, they will essentially be turned into perfect delivery categories aside from Sunday, which would eliminate the differences between the categories at a high level of play.
It seems like there are two options here:
- Leave the category rules as they are and allow non-perfect and perfect delivery categories to essentially become similar at a high level.
- Update the rules for non-perfect delivery categories to somehow prevent this.
I don't feel too strongly either way but I'm curious to hear what others think.
My vote is leave them as is. I'd like to see if the strat is actually faster than the current WR, I'm not sure it is. I think it just improves average runs.
You can absolutely get a perfect delivery all the way up until the last house if you wanted. Rules just say you need to miss one house. It was the best strat in the GBA Paperboy as well. Happy running and good luck everyone :)
