What about dividing OpenRCT2 from RCT1/RCT2 as a Sub-Game (Modification) of RCT2?

I would like to help to move all OpenRCT2 data from the RCT1 leader-boards to the new OpenRCT2 leader-boards.

Ottawa, ON, Canada

While I agree that OpenRCT2 is definitely a modification of RCT2, I myself don't really see a point in separating the two boards. I'd argue that both Original% and OpenRCT2% are integral categories of speedrunning RCT2, and separating the two would cause a little confusion. Furthermore, having the option of OpenRCT2% does attract more attention to speedrunning the game. I know if I were a new player, at first glance, I would be put off by the long runtimes of some of the Original% runs for RCT2, so having the comparison is definitely beneficial for those wanting a more dynamic speedrunning experience, instead of relying on them to find their way to the subgame. I feel it is an unnecessary complication to separate the two categories from RCT2.

However, I definitely see a lot of reasoning for separating OpenRCT2 from RCT1, as there are many features from RCT2 that are ported over. If you guys want to separate the two, I definitely support that.

In all, I think it would be a good idea to put this to a vote for RCT2 players, because I could be in the wrong here. I'll link this page to Deurklink's discord for some more attention.
