So, I've come to the realization that my rules for splits aren't really good, and also won't be SDA/SRL approved any time soon. That's why I want to change the rules so timing is better.

New timing rules: Timing starts when you press Start on title screen and ends when you lose control of Stuart in Escape From Central Park.

Should I purge the runs from the existing Easy to make it cleaner and delete the "new rules" Easy, or keep it like this?

Alright, so I made the changes and purged the existing runs in the old Easy category, deleted the "new rules" Easy, and edited the rules of existing categories. I hope that everyone who had a run in the deleted category knows that I meant no harm by deleting the runs, it was just to clean up so that this game has a smoother run. I am sorry for any confusion that was produced from this.

#1 There is no reason to change the timing method again. Selecting "Story Mode" makes the most sense for the timing start (like selecting 1P/2P on Super Mario World, which is SRL standard). SRL/SDA "standard" doesn't matter. SDA "standard" is start of control to end of control, which you haven't made better, you've made worse. SRL doesn't have a "standard", but it's usually just last menu selection, which is "Story Mode" in this case.

#2 You don't delete runs because you make up new rules. You re-time the runs. Deleting runs because you want to add one extra menu press makes no sense. Please fix this back to the way it was.

Alright. I'll fix the rules back to the way they were.

I put the rules back to the way they were and added you as mod. :)

Thanks. Sorry if I got frustrated, but keep in mind that the timing rules really aren't important, definitely not worth clearing a leaderboard for. :)

I gotcha, man. I'm kinda new to the whole speedrunning business, so feel free to aid and correct me on whatever I do wrong. :)
