Leaderboard reformatting

There has been a dispute over whether to keep Any% NMS or whether to make Any% No LTS. I personally think Any% NMS should be thrown out as there would be more times for Any% No LTS already (3x as many).

However, I see the point to both sides of the argument. Could one of the mods make a variable for "LTS" for the Any% category? That way, No LTS wouldn't be a separate category, but the top time of 56:35 by Headstrong would still be displayed, as it would still be hugely relevant to the category's competition.

With this variable, the boards would look like this: http://puu.sh/pFikq/633a1e4a71.jpg

Keep in mind that this is already a compromise. It does NOT get rid of Any% No Major Skips. It also does not reject the idea of Any% No LTS. You'd be able to hide the unranked times by default, but still sort them out manually when viewing the leaderboards, but that's a separate issue that can be dealt with later.

This is actually a pretty smart way to go about it. I'll discuss this with other mods. Thanks for your input.

Is there any update to this yet? It would suck for the 56 to just be lost.

We're still working out exactly what to do but in the mean time I've at least added a variable for LTS. It isn't exactly what Jumpy suggested because it is set to where a player's LTS time will obsolete their no LTS time, but it's something.

At the moment the main possibilities for change seem to be:

  1. Doing what Jumpy suggested

  2. Creating a new category called Any% No LTS or something to that effect (and probably getting rid of NMS)

  3. Changing the rules of NMS to allow you to skip cutscenes

But yeah apologies for the late reply and the general slowness of this whole thing. None of the current possibilities come without some fairly annoying side effects.
