Bny% Placement
5 years ago
Chicago, IL, USA

Hello I'm Corkster, I know i'm just a pleb in the Celeste community, but I personally believe that Bny% should be in the miscellaneous category of Celeste. My reasoning behind this is due to the fact that ,at least in my mind, the category extensions are for Celeste categories altering the game with assist mode, or just straight up funny memes (True pure any%). I personally believe that Bny% doesn't fit into either of these categories.and when I watch other people play it, they treat it like a main category run, cause that's what it feels like. Anyways, just wanted to share my thoughts on the matter, I humbly apologize for disrupting this thread.

Just because a run is placed on a board filled with memes doesn't mean it has to be treated as a meme. They run the category because they find it fun, not because of where the leaderboards are placed.

I feel bad for the leaderboard mods for having to deal with this kind of stuff.

Reminder that all categories are arbitrary in the first place and where they belong is just as arbitrary.

Yeah, I guess it doesn't really matter where categories are placed, just wanted to put my thoughts out there

I agree with Corkster on the reasoning that Bny% was placed in Category Extensions because it used the glitch that doesn't finish the A side of the chapter. Now I think it should be a Main or Miscellaneous category as the glitch is used in Any% to save chunks of time.

All the categories on the main boards right now have clear category objectives that make sense within the game itself and don't use variant or assist mode. Right now they all have good reasons to be on there I believe. Where Bny% offends that is that the objective of the category, while well defined, is very arbitrary and specific compared to the other main board categories. The whole category was build on a joke after we found the B-Side unlocking A-Side exploit, I mean even the name "Bny%" is just a funny reference, it just happens to actually make for a fun and unique run.

I do agree though that it feels weird on the extensions boards as the only real category that doesn't use assist or variant mode, Bny% is in a spot where it doesn't belong on the main boards but doesn't feel right on extensions either. But I think that has more to do with how we perceive and realize the extensions boards right now, kind of what Silver said. Don't think of them as the place for weird meme categories but rather think of them as the place for all categories that don't belong on the main boards. That is what they are supposed to be, quite literally an extension of the main boards.

I also agree with the sentiment that it doesn't matter too much where the category is as long as people can submit to it somewhere. On top of that this is also bad timing to do a move like this quite frankly. With the DLC coming out soon(TM) we will probably have to re-imagine a bunch of categories on the main boards which supposedly will lead to some clutter. It would suck to move Bny% over there just to move it back again after the main boards get bloated by DLC categories.

It might be a real painful operation behind the scenes for a change so minor, but I also agree it sticks out like a sore thumb where it is. Or better yet, latch all of celeste category extensions onto celeste, so it's not stand alone.

Consider subcategories for DLC and/or all hearts/chapters in some way.
