Seems like many people agree with the compromise. I removed the SS rule and added the column. Have fun!

just for documentation: biiwix also agrees with this compromise.

I know most people have probably left this discussion but it would be nice if you people could say if you agree with this compromise or not.

So I like PJC's input. I suggested that we remove the SS rule and add a column where you can specify if your run is RTA or SS. Legacy as a category is already too arbitrary to limit it even more (by leaving the SS rule in) but you can still set the challenge for yourself and show it off in the leaderboards.

I think this would be a good compromise for people who want to play SS and doesn't limit the people who want to do RTA.

EDIT: Pack it doesn't matter if you are a god-tier level gamer or a casual player. If you play the category you are an active runner and have a saying. Also it's really easy to record demos :p just get Maxxuss speedrun plugin and type speedrun_start. You have to do nothing, it's so easy!

In the past I thought that Legacy was made for people that didn't like the save glitch and displacing the hitbox out of bounds, so this kinda stuck to me.

Can I create a poll somewhere here so we can clearly see how many people want it and how many don't?

In my opinion this category is too arbitraty to have another subcategory. If you want to do a single segment run you can set the challenge for yourself. I think we can also enable this column here so you can see if a run is SS or not

I don't see how saving and loading will make the run harder. You can reload if you make a mistake and don't have to reset. Also, times will not get worse since everybody is reloading right now anyways.

EDIT: To be clear, saving and loading will NOT allow save glitching since this is banned in the rule "displacement of body outside of maps is not allowed".

In my opinion the single segment rule is not needed. In my eyes Legacy is the route before save glitch and double edge glitches were used and nothing more. Yes, back in the days Portal had an SS rule and the Portal Demo Timer program by Fatalis even has a "validate run" option that only validates your run if your demo count matches the one of a single segment run.

I think Portal evolved as a game and the runners that played back in the day sort of disappeared and it's time for the new generation of Portal runners to take over and update the rules to the currend mindset.

Single segment is a very cool challenge that you can still set for yourself and if you manage to beat it that is very impressive, but it should not be a rule since it can potentially drive people away from the category and reduce the fun factor since mistakes can be made very easily in this game (which would mean you have to reload).

For short, I think the SS rule is not needed and it should be removed.
