Update 1.07 and its 100% implications

A user on Twitter recently brought up that one of the runs currently in 100% doesn't get the floating head ghost. We didn't codify any ruleset changes after the 1.07 update thread posted in the forum, but that's probably necessary.

Before we do anything I wanted to open the discussion up real quick, especially to runners currently vested in the category.

If there was interest, we could potentially split into current version/old version. We could leave it as is and keep the requirement firm on including the floating head ghost. The requirement to get her could also be removed since it seems to no longer be possible to spawn her reliably.

I'm not an expert on the current mechanics - if anyone has input of any kind, feel free to share before we make any concrete decision.

Yeah, after 1.07 I haven't been checking for the floating head ghost since there doesn't seem to be a reliable method of spawning her other than waiting around in the 3rd building, which is just boring. I just check for the other ghosts when checking compliance.

I probably should have made that clearer sooner, sorry about that.

edit: I've revised the ruleset for the run, which is now worded as follows:

"Must view all twenty ghosts in one playthrough, excluding the Floating Head ghost and Art Room poltergeist. Time based on IGT shown after ending. No deaths allowed. NG+ here refers to a save file that has encountered Ji-Min (unlocked by clearing Normal or Above)."

So the ghost head won't spawn until 11:00 PM in game. The clocks in the game will chime signalling she has spawned is chasing you. I'm still pretty sure you have to be in darkness to spawn her. The biggest problem is the games clock runs in real time and starts at 10:00 PM so you would have to wait an hour for her to spawn.

All the times on the board are already below an hour so if you do include the floating head ghost there is no way to beat any time already on the board. I think just keeping the current requirements is the way to go as having to afk in a room for 15 min for her to spawn doesn't sound fun.

I honestly don't know why the devs changed that of all things with their updates lol. Anyway those are my thoughts!
