Small tweak suggestions

Right now, there are 3 misc categories on the main page for SMW (not smw memes) that are no cape. Why not just make no cape a subcategory for the main categories? You would be able to specify a 96 exit to 95 exit for no cape in the ruleset for that specific category but the rest shouldn't change anything. Also, there is one category that says "no cape" before the category and it's kind of a silly inconsistency with the other two. Also, this will take off a couple categories from SMW memes and just clean things up in general.

It's an existing category on the other page for extraneous SMW categories. As are a lot of other silly categories that only 5 people are interested in running.

This board is fine. Go there or to the meme board for other stuff.

Who are all these people that are so worried about SMW categories lmao

Another pointless argument spewing more pointless babbling discussion for a result that, at best, will be equally as good as the existing conditions.

imo.

We usually save this stuff for a day long drama fest in the Discord.

The least you could do is rename that category to "No Star World, No Cape"

Um...no? It's been NCNSW since forever.

Okay, then call the others "No Cape, 11 Exit" and "No Cape, 95 Exit"

How is this correct in either scenario? Pure laziness.

Go start your own SMW leaderboard then if you don't like how the mods here handle it.

Think of the naming as "goal, restriction" in ncnsw there's no goal in the name, just 2 restrictions. There's no big deal in what it's called so just think of it like that if you have to

If only there wasn't any cape in the game, lol. The cape is causing much trouble when it comes to speedruns and at the same time is a very important thing for speedruning SMW, though it still just an item like a mushroom or flower, even if it can help a lot. If the goal is just to make the run a bit hard, then banning it will create a sub category with the same goals as the main one but with the restriction of the cape, which what we have as misc in the board, that looks good to me, but the thing that I see not good is that the No Starworld is misc while NCNSW is main, why is that? Isn't the opposite that should be? Also, No Starworld is more popular than NCNSW? To my mind, probably to satisfy everyone, sub categories like No Starworld as main and Cape - No Cape as sub will be a better way to list the runs in LB.

Having no cape changes the game so much that we see it as a completely separate category, with the route being one of the only similarities. Ever since All Castles became a thing, No Starworld has become much less popular (don't mistake number of runs for popularity) and no cape no starworld is actually a very interesting category, hence the tournament this year being that category. Sub categories imply that there's multiple of the same category but with a slight change, and while that's true in terms of the category's rules, the actual run is so different that you couldn't realistically compare them.

Right, since the existence of All Castles, No Starworld became somewhat obsolete against it, but since the cape, as you said, changes the game a lot to create a new category for it, NCNSW replaced NSW.
