There's a checkbox I can set on the Co-op column called "Values obsolete eachother." Until today, it was turned on. What that meant is that it would only show your best run for a given category, either Coop=Yes or Coop=No, not both. Death asked me to turn this off, because he wants to be able to have it show his best coop run as well as his best non-coop run. This makes sense to me, so I tried turning it off. Here's an example of what this looks like in another game: http://www.speedrun.com/d2lod#Any (the Class column)
This interacts a little poorly with the fact that we have Yes/No/Blank, though. Blank isn't a real value, it just means that the run was submitted before we had the co-op column. But with the checkbox off, if someone has an up-to-date run with Yes, and many old obsolete runs with Blank, it shows two entries, as if we wanted to see the Blank runs.
I'm not sure what the best way to deal with this is. Here are a few of the options I can think of: 1: Leave the checkbox disabled, and people with a bunch of old Blank runs can eventually delete them or update their Co-op values. If they don't, then the leaderboard just continues to show Blank runs next to Yes/No runs. Downside: changing many old runs is tedious, so it probably won't get done, and we don't want to see obsolete Blank runs.
2: Press a button in the game options that makes it set all the Blank runs to Yes. Downside: it makes it look like they were all using coop, when we don't actually know if they were using coop. It's misleading for someone who wants to look at the board and see how prevalent coop/no-coop is among the community.
3: Leave the checkbox turned on, so you can't have it show your best Yes run and your best No run, like it has been until now.
What I really want is for it to only ever show a Blank run if the same player doesn't have any Yes/No runs on the board, but the site doesn't have an option to do something that specific.
I've turned the checkbox off for now so people can see what it looks like, but it's not like I've made a decision that it's going to stay this way. Please post your thoughts if you have them.
I think option 1 is best, I don't see blank in that column as a big deal, coop babies don't even change much anyway.
