NG+ NMS was decided to be the default when this game was relatively active because it had more runners. I was a mod at the time and I wanted New Game to be default but NG+ NMS was more popular so that's what we went with. There is no reason to change it, so it should be changed back.
Hey, so I guess I think New Game would be the default choice also and seeing as the game doesn't have a catagory that is dominating right now I would still think New Game would be, however I respect the idea that NG+ would be default and I wouldn't find it wrong if this was chosen.
Obviously with a new timer that made a lot of the older runs unobtainable in terms of time, we've decided to move all the old runs to misc, and start the board fresh.
Please feel free to submit any runs and ask me any questions!
