Changes to Any% NCW (No Credits Warp)

Hello everyone, I'm here to tell you that we have decided once again on a change for 1 of this game's categories, we ultimately decided to turn Any% NCW into the new All Allies%, and have a "new" Any% NGM (No Glitch Menu) where as the name suggests, the Glitch Menu will be banned and any benefit that comes from it, while any other glitches are still allowed, like the broken dagger for example.

Any runs made on the former Any% NCW that didn't use the glitch menu were moved to the new Any% No Glitch Menu category, while the others that did use, were moved to the Any% All Allies category.

We (Me, Glitchedd and WordOfWind) discussed about this due to the fact that once the Money Slot Glitch was found, where you can essentially get any item you want, when applied to Any% NCW it just became very apparent that Any% NCW turned into an inferior version of All Allies% where the runs would be too simillar to not make much sense to have them seperated, so in order to do this, we discussed between either banning/not allowing to use this strat on NCW and keep everything as is, or we merged the 2 categories and just seperated the older Any% NCW into a Any% No Glitch Menu, where you are simply not allowed to unlock the Glitch Menu.

After discussing, we weighted back and forth the pros and cons, and came to the conclusion that our decision would have to be based on Accessability vs Fun, since both these categories are restricted categories (or community created specific categories, unlike standards ones like Any% or Glitchess).

One vote went to simply ban the Money Slot Glitch from Any% NCW, in order to preserve the fun factor on that category and somewhat keep it accessible. The other 2 votes went for the other approach, because it didn't make much sense to allow the Dungeons Floor Unlock Glitch but not a new strat like the Money Slot Glitch simply to avoid making the category less fun, plus having a No Glitch Menu category would increase the accessability compared to Any% NCW and while making the rules much clearer.

UPDATE: As another last minute decision happened, Any% All Allies was renamed to Any% No Warping, since it was merged with Any% NCW, it no longer made sense to keep the rule where we'd need the player to get all 5 allies before completing the game. So to keep things more simple, on Any% No Warping now only has the same ruleset as the former Any% NCW where all glitches are allowed, except warping to and/or unlocking any new location.
