Hello everyone,

As the new and now only moderator of the Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts page, I’ve noticed some categories are underutilized and could be simplified. Here’s a summary of my proposed changes:

Focus on a Single ‘Any %’ Category:

• Only one main category (‘Any %’) where runners choose their preferred difficulty without subcategorizing by difficulty level.
• This makes the game more accessible and prevents leaderboard fragmentation.
• Difficulty levels for older runs will now be simple annotations like "Marksman Only", "Deadeye only" instead of subcategories.

Rule Adjustment for Individual Level (IL) Runs:

• IL runs can be extracted from a classic Any % run, beginning after the cinematic skip.
• Timing will be based on Real-Time Attack (RTA), starting from the first frame post-cinematic and ending on the first frame of the mission completion screen.
• This ensures uniform timing, as current runs mix RTA and in-game time (IGT).

I’m open to creating specific subcategories for particular IL runs for example if a difficulty level notably changes the run, potentially even on a case-by-case basis. The key is to avoid overloading the leaderboard with unnecessary subcategories and ensure that any new categories serve a real purpose.

I welcome your thoughts and suggestions to create a better speedrunning experience for this game!
