Redundant Cherry Categories Have Been Removed

This affects the following games:

• Paint Chase
• Planet Zoldath
• Devilition
• Kick Club
• Bushido Ball
• The Big Bell Race
• Hot Foot
• Pingolf
• Mortol II
• Fist Hell
• Star Waspir
• Campanella 3

If you believe any of the above games were incorrectly adjusted, or that any games were incorrectly inadjusted, please create a thread or reply to this post. The boards can still be adjusted.

Fist Hell, Star Waspir, and Elfazar's Hat will have an eye kept on them as there are currently no submitted runs.

Why?

For the above list of games, the requirement for a cherry clear are naturally fulfilled in the attempt to speedrun a gold clear. For example, The Big Bell Race's cherry requirement is to win first in every race, but a competent gold speedrun would do this anyway.

This made nearly every run for some games apply to both cherry and gold subcategories. Maintaining two identical boards adds a lot of work for the verifier team, and there were often mistakes.

The cherry category has been removed instead of the gold to keep these boards accessible to new runners, who may not be able to fulfill the cherry condition.

How does this affect me? Can I still submit cherry runs?

It doesn't, really. If a cherry board for a game has a run by "SUBMIT TO GOLD", make sure you submit the run to that game's gold category instead.

Oh, is this why I got that email?

yea

Should I be afraid?

Yes! Every second you're not watching, XanaGear gets closer.
