I could write 10 paragraphs about how if I have a song that rewinds backwards, I can use a burai slider that goes inwards on itself because it "fits the song" and "should be intuitive", but realistically it breaks the rulesRanking Criteria wrote:
All rules are exactly that: RULES. They are NOT guidelines and may NOT be broken under ANY circumstance.
As nominators, you are allowed to decline Shiirn's requests to nominate this map. This isn't a form of bravery for the sake of the community, it's a form of you ranking something that is explicitly unrankable. Just a reminder in case people didn't read the BNG RulesProposed RC wrote:
Every slider must have a clear and visible path to follow from start to end. Sliders which overlap themselves in a way that makes any section unreadable or ambiguous cannot be used, such as burai sliders and hold sliders without straightforward slider borders. Perfectly overlapping slider bodies must give enough time to fully read each slider’s path.

Why would you want to break the rules anyways for any other reason to be an incompetent edgelord? You aren't a god, Shiirn. It's about time you got brought back down to Earth like the rest of us and realize that you have to follow the same rules as the rest of us. No exceptions.
Okay okay, let me just drop something.Ascendance wrote:

Won't say anything more then. Good luck to the 3 nominators that you've just plunged into a terrible situation.

Rules are meant to be broken anyways. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Ascendance wrote:
Including QATs? I'm not so sure about that one The point is you've NOMINATED AN UNRANKABLE MAP, regardless of how Shiirn wants to put it, the map is unrankable. It's against the rules of the BNG and I'm sure you're 100% aware of that, since you read those rules, right?
methinks that the issue here isnt about the wiggle sliders. i think its because that some sliders such as this one forcibly slows down the slider. isnt that the unrankable one?Stjpa wrote:
Monstrata used a wiggle in Hey kids!! too to slow down a slider even though it's against the RC, isn't it?
Yup, basically this. On this map, the slider is burai and undetectable until after it has happened. The monstrata one is obvious because of the sliderborder and shapeAnxient wrote:

for convenience, i believe that this slider is the one stjpa is talking about.
Hey, that's not even relevant, maps are judged on a case-by-case basis.Stjpa wrote:

But anyway, let's wait for more opinions or a QAT who doesn't want this map to be pushed forward.
i do have to agree that these sliders are perfectly fine and without it the map would feel hollow, but unfortunately in the current state of the ranking criteria, it does remain unrankable. which why i restate ascendance's point, of bringing this up with the criteria council in attempt to move the rule from the criteria to the guidelines. this allows for "case-by-case analysis" to be employed and makes arguments such as "rules are rules" invalid.Guidelines wrote:
Guidelines are important and should be followed in most maps. However, they are NOT rules, so they may be broken in special cases. If you want to break a guideline, ask yourself this: Does what I'm about to do make sense? Is it more fun to play like this compared to sticking to the guidelines? If you answer yes to both these questions, then it is probably okay.

/me whispers case-by-case is a thing even when breaking the RC
idk if this was adressed yet but loctav said that there is no point of waiting on others and letting that take over your thinking when we mentioned that we wanted to wait for the new rc to come out to handle thisIrreversible wrote:
I just have one simple question.
If something isn't allowed by the rules, why is this approved? As you said yourself, the new RC isn't in effect yet, so this theoretically is unrankable. 10/10
