Hi Skoglund, you should consider bringing conversations like this to the Discord channel as thats the way that the community typically converses.

This topic comes up pretty regularly, and there was definitely a time that I was a proponent of a glitchless any%, but after a few months of experience working with and participating in the evolution of the any % run, I have completely reversed my opinion and I am increasingly convinced that defining a glitchless ruleset is nearly impossible. Even if we were to list all of the tech that we know about today and make individual calls on which things are and are not allowed in a run, an inventive runner would create new tech we haddnt considered before, completely crushing the world record and sparking a hot debate about whether the new tech was allowed, and if it should be outlawed post facto. Please come join us on discord and watch the process of evolving the route. This week alone, the theoretical best time of any% has come down by about Fifteen minutes because of new tech discovered, and new tech is discovered routinely.

Please check out the categories we have! If you find that they are really not suited to you, and if you have a solution to the "new tech/what is a glitch" problem, or if you just want to come chat, come visit our discord server.

Alternatively, you might consider the challenge runs, they may be more in line with your vision. You can find their discord here: https://discord.gg/dzvZUvQT
