Proposal for reformed speedrun categories

The current system of the speedruns are, for the most part, very well made. My main change I would like to see is not making Quickplay the 'standard' category. I think the Quickplay category does not uphold the integrity of the speedrun potential in World of Horror. Though I do believe that Extracurricular Activity and Spine Chilling Story do constitute themselves as their own categories.

I think we should refine the Custom category and properly define the types of runs within it. I think it would be nice to have in the Custom category 2 main splits, Seed% (once we as a community find a seed that we agree on) and Seedless%. Let's focus on Seedless% for now. In Seedless%, I think it would be in the best interest to have the category be split by difficulty. Sceptic, Initiate, Cultist, True Believer and Harbringer of Doom.

We should allow for ANY character to be used in these runs, ANY old god and ANY background, as well as enabling ALL card packs (A, B and C as of posting) as well as BEING ABLE TO CHOOSE to have all perks on or off, but the content should ALWAYS be set to randomized, as well as the item statistics. Every custom run should also be set on timeline A, because currently as of posting timeline B does not have enough differences to distinct itself for a separate category.

Hi! I liked the idea and made some changes, if people want to discuss about which seed should be chosen for the seeded run maybe you can go on the discord linked in the Guides to discuss about it.

Thanks for making these changes, SirBouBou! I appreciate it a lot. If it is not a lot to ask, it'd be a nice edition to have some Game Rules when clicking the "View Rules" for all the categories, and for the Custom Runs category "View Rules" to highlight that ALL the available card packs must be enabled, unless you would consider it to be fine for any combination of the card packs, which I can understand, I would just like the clarity in the rules.

Once again, still, thank you so much for the changes you have made!
