So a new category. You spawn, open the truck, close the truck, guess a random ghost.

Time gets taken from the moment that you have control untill the loading screen (so like with any% and full%). The run is valid when you guess right.

(You could also add that you also guess the evidence)

(Example of me, while trying to see if a specific ghost is more common than others)

Alternative names could be rng% pussy% to_scared%

Honestly, this idea sounds bad, but a better idea that many people like to do is 'No Evidence', where you will go in and determine what type the ghost is, so basically you are not allowed to use the standard things to gather evidence, since each ghost have unique abilities, you will be able to determine what it is by testing things by using smudge sticks, the hunting speed, interactions, etc To have a valid run, you will need to have the correct ghost obviously, but you will also need to actually do testing and show why you think it's that, you cannot go in and just guess

It would basically be pure rng since the player spwan location within the truck and ghost type can't be influenced by the player. It would be similar to this

It was more meant as a not so serious category.

I'm 100% new to the game and speedruns, and could never do one myself since I'm very bad at this game and shit myself from the second I leave the truck.

Imo it wouldn't hurt having it alongside the stuck% etc.

But as I've said I'm completely new to all of this and don't know how exactly this is run.

The first few speedruns were like this. It was 17 seconds. That's because it takes approx 5 seconds to open the doors then 12 seconds to close them again. I seriously doubt there would be any difference in that time. other than that it is a 1 / 12 chance to guess correctly so it would take only 10 mins or so to get the 17 second record. Since those runs (which were deleted for not following the rules btw), the door close time has been decreased to 9 seconds, which means it would be 14 seconds minimum. I'm not a big fan of the idea of having a category which it takes 15 minutes to get the lowest theoretically-possible time on, but if enough people think it would be fun then we will discuss adding it to the category extensions page.

For the low% idea, I'm more inclined for that however most of the ghosts only have a slight difference in behaviour as otherwise people would just look for that rather than the evidence. For example, spirits don't hunt for a while after a smudge stick however you could also attribute that to bad luck on another ghost. Also, Mares are more inclined to hunt when the lights are off but its the same multiplier as a demon and other than that you have no way to tell if its a demon other than if it hunts at high sanity but then it could also be a banshee. Another thing, Wraiths don't leave footprints (which is what I assume people were thinking of when thinking about this) but also ghosts have a chance to not wander when they step in salt so they leave no footprints as they only leave a footprint after moving a certain distance. I feel there would be too much guessing involved as in many situations: you can't be 100% certain that it is a specific ghost (therefore, near impossible to prove and verify).

I always meant it as a not super serius category, and allways to be in the category extension. It's mostly rng after all. (That's why I added the name Idea pussy%, as in you're to scared to even exit the truck (like me when playing solo lol)) (Also maybe 2scared% is a less "offensive" name or something if that's an issue)

The low% idea seems interesting and I'd 100% watch others do it, but I guess it would need a requirement that ensures that the ghost isn't guessed upon, and the choice is backed by evidence (like a specific action form the ghost) and logic.
