There has been some informal discussion regarding "Any% Set Seed" as a category name.
Some feel that it inaccurately describes the category; possibly implying that everyone must play from the same seed where actually the player may choose any seed.
Anyone in favor of changing it should speak up, ideally suggesting a new name or expressing favor for a previously suggested name.
Anyone against should speak up in favor of the current name.
As I am the only mod, currently, I will only act a tiebreaker.
I will consider this issue to be resolved on 2019-12-05 without prejudice.
Looking at other games - Terraria uses "Random" vs "Seeded", and the rules refer to "Unseeded Runs". Minecraft uses "Set Seed" and "Random Seed". Personally, it seems fine to me, but there's some options. "Fixed Seed" might also be a good option.
I would like to put in a +1 for teleport-less as a category. It's a much more interesting speedrun IMO. This is in no way suggesting we do away with any of the current categories however.
I formally support elad's suggestion. This would make an excellent addition. (No Teleportitis, no flask of Teleportium.
Due to overwhelming support here and in other places,
I'll just add "Teleportless" categories in now.
:)
Thanks friend!
yeah no teleport spell for sure. I feel like it's probably fine if you get hit by a tele-mage since you're not really exploiting it (and even if you do you don't get much out of it) but I'm open to having my mind changed.
I have to vote against allowing the tele-mage. You can't really know someone's intent, they might try to get hit while attempting to conceal it. Also, just 'cause we think you can't exploit it now, doesn't mean someone won't figure it out. It might even be trivial.
After further discussion in other places, I've made an informal poll on the teleportless issue
