Note: This thread is inspired by the RTA-TBC rule that's been recently implemented in Sonic 2.

As I've seen runs with pauses in the 1st Sonic the hedgehog game, I've been wondering if we (And by we everyone knows I obviously mean everyone besides the maker of this thread) should be expecting to see a similar rule of RTA-TB (Real Time Attack minus Time Bonus) implemented for this game in the future. If that's to be expected in the future then it would make sense considering Sonic 2 had the new rule implemented recently where Real Time Attack is subtracted from the Time Bonus & Continues.

We will make that decision if/when it is appropriate. And for anyone viewing this thread, "we" means people who have a stake in the run and have not completely alienated themselves from the community, like connor unfortunately has (long story that is not relevant here). As a community decision, if/when we make said decision, appropriate measures will be taken to see what active and past runners think about what should be done as a legitimate community decision.

This will be handled on the Classic Sonic discord, so if you have knowledge of the run and want to have your say, should we actually make a poll or such, it will happen there. Said decision will, as previously mentioned, be community-based, so people who have irrevocably alienated themselves from the community through actions that are solely their own fault will not be considered.

The only people that alienated me are the ones that flat out insulted me & told flat out fictional statements about certain songs by saying that no one cares (which is absolutely not even close to being true) & those people that want me dead in the first place. But I won't get into that. I will say this however, if the rule does get implemented in the future it'll be definitely something to look forward to when players do future runs for this game.

i'm to lazy to read but, i think if u can do some glitches and harder trick w/o pauses, u can get sub 15 or sub 14 (RTA-TB method) myself "runned" SY3 pauseless with zip but exists others glitches which maybe is IMPOSSIBLE w/o pauses like M1 zip and SB2 lvl wrap.
