Here is my attempt at the Self-introduction category on speedrun.com. I know a lot of other speedrunners have done this and proved themselves worthy, but I want to get familiar with the game and have a place on the leaderboard as well. I'm reaching for PB at the least (and maybe WR if chat gets crazy).

The name's Crockey. My username is based off the name of my second YouTube channel, Crackin' Crocodiles. I am most known on YouTube for uploading longplays of some I Spy games I grew up with. They're the top search results for the games themselves! I don't know about you, but I think that's neat.

Before our first split, we should always be edcuated about the game. I'd like to ask questions about if there is any criteria or set of rules I should follow:

• What is the process/qualifications of upgrading to a moderator for a game? It's not just because you got World Record, right? ... Right?
• What are the duties of a moderator?
• If I find something wrong with a game page, how should I report it? Do I go to the game's forums, ask the moderators and hope they respond?
• What is the difference between the timers in Resources?
• What layout do you think is best for a video?
• Terminology I should get familiar with?
• Any restrictions toward obscenity? I remember quite a few times that people would swear in their comments or while running a game rated E. I mean, if it's rated E and if anyone is open to watching it... I'm just really bothered by it! There's also this one user who has pornography for their profile image... ugh.
• Is this all just something to experience yourself and need not tutorials?

TIME! I've lost a few seconds here and there, but I did succeed my previous record of 3 minutes. I definitely see where I've made some mistakes and how I can apply some strategy to it, but over all I did good. Hopefully people will get together to make speedrun.com what it is, as well as make newcomers comfortable. We may go through heavy rainstorms of RNG, lag, and the occasional "no video" status, but as long as we have Twitch emotes, we have hope for the future. Can't wait to get sub 2:30!

1)asking a moderator(if there is one in the first place)is how. If the moderator himself isnt active at all(3 months inactivity) then you can request begin added, but in most case, try to reach them on twitter/twitch/youtube/game forum on here before even requesting it(alot of people dont even try contacting them and request it), dont be one of them! 2)set up the leaderboard youre a mod in, verify runs and in general be there if anybody has questions about the game itself. 3)again, contact the mod and tell him if anything is wrong. 4)dont be racist and all that good stuff. A few F words or S words here and there isnt a big deal imo 5)depend on how you proceed, i personally like to play games casually before i attempt anything with them, also you might find some interesting stuff while youre doing casual plays, after that you should watch runs and see where you can go from there.

Welcome!
