I know, that's exactly what I was saying. I meant that most, if not all of my faults were because I didn't know what was coming, and that this
shouldn't be a factor in determining the tracks difficulty. In other words, I would have had even less faults if I was familiar with the track, and that's what should count.

That statement makes absolutely no sense to me. You're saying that it's easy to 0-fault Ninja tracks if you simply take your time?? I don't think you could find anyone who agrees with that statement. There are like 3 people out there that even bother to try to speed run Ninja tracks. For most of us Ninja riders it's an accomplishment enough to 0-fault them no matter how slowly we do it.
The whole idea of Ninja tracks is that they have to be very challenging to 0-fault whether you take your time or not. This has been brought up several times before. There are Medium and Hard tracks that require Ninja skills to speed run, but that's not the point.
If you're admitting that your track is easy to 0-fault if you take your time but difficult if you try to get a smooth run that's basically confirming to me that it's not Ninja... just like xPro's Savior it requires Ninja skills to speed-run, but not to 0-fault slowly and consistently.
If I were to add it based on these assumptions then I would have to only accept replays of fast runs because slower runs don't require Ninja skills. To me this means that the track really isn't Ninja at all. To give an extreme example I could create a Beginner track with an insanely difficult platinum time and say it's a Ninja track because it's difficult to do fast, but then I would have to reject replays from anyone who didn't get platinum because they didn't exhibit Ninja skills in their runs.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: In order to qualify as Ninja, a track should require Ninja skills whether you speed run it or not. I don't want to have to start regulating which replays do or do not count for tracks that are only Ninja if you do them fast.
Again though, nothing personal against your track Nova. Eden's Halls is definitely a fun track and I'll probably work on 0-faulting it at some point anyway.
