I agree that this new strategy should stay in any% for the same reasons noted before; universally, any% has always been taken literally. I disagree that this debate is due to a "drastic drop in times." We are crossing a line between what is called "intended play" and "major abuse" several solutions are available.

First, we have what Chappll suggested, just simply add a column labeled something like "NMA" (No Major Abuses) and have a y/n on each run. Second, (I'm not sure if this is even possible because we already have "sub-category" tabs for each character) create a tab for NMA ABOVE what is currently "Normal Elite Nightmare." The second scenario is more preferable because it gives people a better reason (their own board) to run NMA. If this isn't possible, we could create a separate main category next to "Any%" called "Any% NMA"

The line should be drawn between NMA and Any% whenever something is unlocked mid run, gun or scroll. It is arguable that this is unfriendly to new runners because, if they don't have every unlocks, it's very easy for their run to get unintentionally sent to the Any% category. However, it should be just as easy to create a replicable and distributable 100% unlocked file as it is an Any% file with scrolls and weapons ready to be unlocked.

Concerning how this extends to other main categories, there's no reason this shouldn't be the same case for "Foundry Only" unless you really want to argue that things like mid-air strike and brutal gloves aren't absolutely a game-changer to obtain every run. Similar to above, we could simply create a new main category called "Foundry Only, NMA" or something similar. However, these arguments can't really extend to multiplayer categories as far as I am aware. The only way you could even verify that any scrolls haven't been unlocked would be to have (up to) 4 recordings, which is absurd. Fresh file, I don't believe I have to address at all.

To close:

• Any run with an unlock in it should remain under the any% category
• Runs with no unlocks, Any% and Foundry Only, should get some form of separation and placed their own respective NMA (No Major Abuses) Category
• This should extend to Foundry only, but can't (afaik) be extended to multiplayer runs.
