I have submitted first council and any% haven't heard back I submitted them in January I gave it a lot of

time to be verified

Yeah I have two runs pending from November as well. Looks like the only moderator hasn't been active on speedrun.com since then

The moderator is always online, but it seems they no longer care about moderating the game. I wrote to the moderator to see if they would be willing to hand over the moderation to someone else, but they're ignoring me. Almost a year ago, I uploaded my First Council 3:38 work rate, and it still hasn't been verified.

Maybe message speedrun.com mods to force mod transfer?

You can give it a try, you have nothing to lose
