the issue isnt whether or not cc should be removed its whether to scale or not scale down the additional points in each chord after removal to retain the same point distribution of files before/after


for the record:
cc is being removed and it will not be optional
dp is being removed and it will not be optional unless you theme it back in, in which case why stop there just go full retard and use sm6 scoring for +9 points for each mine you don't hit

I shouldn't even be spending time arguing why further fracturing the community by giving players a myriad of options for playing, which are at best stupid and at worst objectively wrong (as leonid has pointed out), is stupid and irresponsible

if you don't care about scores being comparable and think "wow more options is objectively better" then just fuck off and play j2l1 sm5default with nofail 6x nojumps added mines super shuffle noholds and haste mod

the important part of that is the "fuck off" part

this entire community and more importantly everything that it has generated, which you are an active recipient of, has only arisen because a group of players came together and agreed upon a consensus for set of defined rules for what constitutes valid score comparison

it is literally the foundational principle of the community-- to make any argument in any direction invoking "who cares just let people do whatever they want" is automatically invalid and you can feel free to go on reddit and co-ruminate with the other people there on how cmods are cheating and the like

if any of you ever want to see a functional leaderboard and scores/stats tracking site then you all have to adhere to a single standard of scoring anyway
