In Dinnerbone's original post, he wanted the challenge to be done on Hardcore difficulty. What was the reasoning for not adding this rule? Nice WR btw, just kinda not in the spirit of Dinnerbone's challenge

The Set Seed WR holder said on YouTube that he would opt for running on Hardcore in the future. If the mods agree to adjust the rules to fit Dinnerbone's original challenge, no run that will stay a PB for long will be lost

I frankly don't care about dinnerbone's "challenge", our rules are what we view as best. You are of course welcome to do your runs on hardcore, you'll be able to get just as fast times as anyone else. It'll just be quite a bit harder.

I should mention that the Japanese leaderboard only runs on hardcore, but they have quite a different philosophy than us. If anything this proves that the difficulty doesn't matter a whole lot.
