Inspired by the new Knock Knock, I figured that another great meme category would be All Lamps. There are 11 lamps (let me know if I made an error there, maybe I forgot about some) in the game that you can turn on, spread across basically the whole map. Challenges this run presents:

• Routing a fast way to reach all the lamps
• Getting good clips throughout the whole run
• Not losing your chair optimally (the chairs you can use as backup in most of the other rooms are quite bad to clip with)

As a "basic guide" to the location of the lamps and to show off the concept, here's a bad run I've done in 2:28:

It can probably be pushed below 1:30. This category is a nice alternative to all the other short and optimised categories, while still maintaining the "fun" (lel) of OoB.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

EDIT: I missed a few lamps, my latest count (which I think is all, I searched the whole map basically) is 14.

I'll definitely run this tonight and get back to you with my times! I got the wr in knock knock (waiting for verification) so lets hope to get two!

I'm coming for you Keen!

This seems nice and memey, sure. What would your thoughts be on needing the key or just no key?

You beat me and I'll beat you right back buddy! Also Erebus hmu on twitter I added you!

I feel like the run would be complete with the key and the door as the ending.

Who's up for giving it a run tonight? Also got 1.30.050

Yeah Jmak and it makes sense for Knock Knock% to not use the key. This one could have the key involved.

I dont think the run should involve the key, It makes it very long winded I guess and it seems like theres no purpose for the key. Thats just me though <3

Knock knock will be no key, but the other lamp thingy will have a key to finalize it Keen.

Alrighty no worries

Maybe the sub categories Key and No Key? That way it can appease to both sides?

Then it just seems like to many categories, I would just make a decision.

I think having a category where you have to do a bunch of stuff and then finish the game is only a good idea if the things you have to do extra actually affect the game somehow and are not so out of the way that they make the run 10x longer. The idea of "activating all lamps" and "grabbing the key and opening the door to finish the game" have basically nothing to do with each other, I'd let it stay at just the lamps. Also, I do agree with the fact that 2 seperate categories is maybe a little much, a decision would be the best thing here. I guess maybe do a vote or something if the opinions are that split. Just a little sidenote (especially @Keen, regarding the key makes the run "long winded"): Actually finishing the game doesn't make the run too much longer. You'd just have to incorporate the basement into your route, and the door is not far from where you are at the last lamp (atleast in my route).

The only reason for the key to be in that run is too make it so you can find any lamp any way you want until someone finds a good route. The key only confirms the run, it's no fun just getting the lamps and boom done, it's just illogical and lame. The key is a way for finalizing the time.

Made a strawpoll and will leave it there for a week. And until it's decided it's removed from the boards. Also linking the poll to other runners outside of SR would help so we can get as much feedback as possible. http://www.strawpoll.me/13039331

Sorry @Goodigo I kind of worded myself badly there, I meant as in the key doesnt seem to add anything and making the run longer for no reason, but saying that I could think of a really good route with the key so maybe? I think two categories would work though.

Okay it seems that yes to the key is the winner with it 6 to 2. The category is added and if someone can figure out how many lamps there are that would be nice.
