CURSE OF RAMONA's Endless Mode allows you to convert the oil gained on a normal run's Day 10 into coins. do we want to allow this coin conversion as valid for Greed speedrun purposes? would it be better to make a separate category?

of note: you can still reach the Final Score screen after starting Endless Mode by hitting End Run, but it is specifically the Endless Mode Final Score screen regardless of if you actually start a day in Endless Mode or not.

edit: i ask because the current rules say you just need to reach the Final Score screen, with no specification of which, so there could easily be a good faith read that the Endless Mode Final Score screen counts.

second edit: i've made a distinct Greed (Endless Mode) category for now but feedback is welcome and we can change the rules and categories if the community wants, nothing is really set in stone here.

in reply to @silasoftrees's post:

IMO, it shouldn't count for normal Greed runs, but maybe it could allow for a "low% Greed" category where you try to get to 1k with a minimum number of purchases/days used? My main concern is that Greed currently is focused on hitting 1k sans big snakes, but allowing day 10 conversions changes the math considerably.

made it - you can check out the example run on my other post. i specified that you have to get to the Endless Mode Final Score screen for these runs because otherwise our current greed runs would be valid and that seems to kinda defeat the purpose of having a distinct category. i'm open to changing that though.
