imo WoL NG should disallow any spirits that a brand new player wouldn't have if they bought the game today and went straight to WoL. That would make it fair as a "new file" category and actually motivate new people (like me) to try running it. Just my two cents, as someone who has helped create rulesets for other speedgames.

So an idea was spawned in the community discord that it might be cool to have a separate leaderboard off of speedrun.com that contained really arbitrary and meme categories. Examples would include rank%, max%, true low% (no optional rooms/keys), and other ones that don't belong on speedrun.com. I would be willing to make said leaderboard on Google Drive, and it could be put in the resources tab on the side or somewhere else, open to discussion. It would also be nice if established community members could volunteer to mod the leaderboard (be able to recieve runs through PM or other contact memes to manually put on the leaderboard). It would be great to hear what others think of this idea, and it's not necessary in any way but I thought it might be cool if people wanted it.
