I'm not sure where I stand on this.
On one hand, I hate using Real TIme when there's an IGT available, because the IGT to me is the be all end all. On the other hand, acceleramin and other shit kinda makes certain runs dumb.
And it has more to with that I don't want to use that shit because it makes everything slower to play, which is annoying. But then again, a good argument can be made for being allowed to use it on IGT because it's part of the base game.
Guys, I am in general really against banning single things in games, but for the sake of entertainment I would be for either an all out ban on those items, except the phantom cigar, or we start using real time from now on. I'm not really happy with either decision so do whatever.
EDIT: Didn't see bre3zeR's post before. I think that's a sensible way to handle things.
Any% is what you're looking for when wanting to use rank lowering items. And as far as I know there's no other restrictions.
I'm not running this category so I don't have much say in this, but the prologue is so boring and handholdy and not fun to watch either, so I'd say off with it.

either allow or ban both
