New Category Potential: Only to see if people like so no going “dude do this in the doc cmon”

So, the name? AllCaps. Yes, Minimum Captures but opposite. But here is the thing: Many people make categories like Warpless or Wetnut%. The problem is, they do not change the route that much. AllCaps though, changes the route to find the captures while also getting moons to progress. I also feel this is a little more opened up than Min Caps. And also this may be controversial but In this category, I’m gonna count the final pylon as a capture simply to stop early access to Mushroom Kingdom, forcing Postgame. But this rule can be removed as a subcategory if needed.

Sadly I suck at the game so anyone who wants to try this run and see if it’s good, please do. Also, again, don’t mention the fact that I should not be posting this on forum, as I’m just tryna see what people think of it.

You can't just say "Please don't tell me to follow the rules" just to avoid following the rules.

While the category submission process is far from perfect, there are many reasons why it is what is, one of them being to avoid duplicate category submissions.

Maybe this is a hot take, but I think if a category idea is really good, you would be passionate enough about it to check if it already exists, try it yourself, and go through the proper channels. If you can't even muster up the motivation to try it yourself, why would you expect anyone else to care about it?

Sorry, I'm not trying to be rude or attack you personally or anything. I'm just at a point where I've lost all patience for these kinds of posts. I'm trying to help you understand why a lot of us role our eyes at these sorts of posts.

I find it funny how you just didn't know this category existed already.

Yeah like if you want to make a new category, first of all submit it the correct way and second make sure the category doesn’t already exist.

The fact that you made such a long argument in favor of a purposal of a category that literaly alredy exists lmao Just take a second to see if the category actualy exists, it isn't that hard (i mean, src layout f sucks, but cmon lol) Im gonna agree it is a great category you came up with, and that's why it is in the leaderboard; just happends that someone thought about it 4,5 years before you

Btw, i like to tell people the doc exists, but honestly i don't think there should be any problem at conversating about new category ideas in the forum, for the forum of giving out the idea so others know about it and you can talk about how good it can be or setting said category Is clear that new categories will only officialy come to the leaderboard by using the form, but is not bad to share ideas

Also, categories are better accepted if more runners get interest in it and decide to run it (the form has the option to submit other runs than yourself's one), and there is a requirement of x runners (5 i think? not sure) to get it out of "pendings" So what is wrong with sharing it

Killedragon, it's just the absurd amount of posts on the forum that are clogging it up. The post about the new auto-splitter will probably now be drowned out for a lot of people due to these new category posts. Like, this isn't the only method of communication about SMO anyway. More people use the discord and people would be happier seeing this kind of stuff there anyway, or not seeing it at all.

Either way, let me have notifications about WRs not be pooled in with all of these kinds of posts again PLEASE.

yeah and usually only like 3-4 people respond to/ like the ideas in these posts so there’s really no point in talking about it to have it gain popularity. and the mods are still the ones who decide if a category is good enough to be a real category. so like even if a category has a lot of popularity, if it’s a terrible category it won’t be added. so use discord to talk about ideas and if you think it’s a good idea use the form
