Hi. I'm a new mod here, I wanted to post some runs but wasn't sure on rules since they weren't set yet. I can actively run this game, but, as said above, want set rules first. I will also look to update the layout of leaderboards and will be interested in new ideas others may have. I've read the past year's suggestions and other forum posts, so I'll be splitting the maps/difficulties and I'll try to think of some full game to do.

Should the maps be split per game version? I just have the steam version, so I'm not sure how different, although I know there is that post about it in forums -I'm assuming no premium store upgrades. -Is autoplay allowed or is the steam version the only one that has that? -Specialist buildings allowed, yes? -What about the monkey lab boost(?) -Are special agents allowed? -Anything else I missed?

Autoplay is available on all platforms, so no reason to ban it. Specialist buildings should be fine, as long as people state which building they use at what level in the run description/title. I'd personally say no monkey lab boosts, it takes too long to unlock it all from a new save, so it would create a barrier for people wanting to run this game, and the game is doable without them just fine. I'd also say no special agents either, there is nothing stopping you from just farming monkey cash and then placing a billion bush agents at the start of the track. Or a billion of another agent for that matter. You missed whether maps are allowed to be played in reverse, on some maps it makes a significant differences, i'd say it's fine as it allows for more optimisation options.

About the reverse map, unless it's a huge difference, should it just be an "option"/run category? (standard vs reverse) Name, Time, platform, (reverse? Y/N) as an example for the run

I currently have a few lab upgrades, but only starting cash has the deactivate button so far... Is that the only one that can deactivate? Should that be listed in runs or just leave it as is? How would someone with lab upgrades run if they are not allowed?

No double cash? :P XD (too easy if on, but i feel like it'd be a fun silly category to include?)

-update You can deactivate them if you max. BRB maxing monkey lab :^)

I'd say Name, Time, Platform would be fine, reverse is only relevant on some maps, so took make another category for it feels a bit redundant. If the other lab upgrades cannot be turned off then we should indeed allow the usage of it, I wasn't aware of that. Double cash should probably be off yes, makes even the hardest difficulties a joke.

Do you think platform specific maps should have the platform in the name? for example Hill Giant (Flash) Checkers (Steam) etc

I'd say make seperate boards per flatform, and within those boards only the maps that actually exists within that platform, so the platform shouldnt need to be put in the name of the map itself

I would say yes to monkey lab (because a lot of people aren't able to disable them) and yes to specialist buildings to allow for different strategies to be viable. I don't mind special agents as they're almost required for impoppable on expert maps if you're not using double cash or injections. Allow autoplay because it's faster not to use it lol.
