as in can you not die in your run to warp to the start

In No Up&A, we allow deaths in runs so long as they do not appear to be intentional for routing time saves. For example, it only makes good sense to go to Level-1 or Level-5 after getting the White Sword. If you died just after getting the White Sword and went to Level-3 we're going to think it was intentional.

If you are interested in using death warping or Up&A for routing, any category that doesn't say "No Up&A" in the category name allows that.

^ i was under the impression it was somewhat frowned upon for a run, an intentional death. didnt know it was actually a set rule for a run. the list of rules makes it sound like only deathwarps using up+a are disallowed.

of course i was only basing this on the fact that ive watched a leaderboard run that intentionally died after grabbing the white sword.

I think Randomeffekt once pointed a run that deliberately died after taking recorder.

People sometimes slip stuff by. But if someone does something egregious feel free to contact me privately and I'll make it go away.
