Hey, I am planning on doing Full Game runs and I just wanted to establish some rules first to make sure everybody is on the same page.

I think the timer should start when you select Veblensk difficulty, e.g Easy, and end when you lose control of the player character at the end of Spitriniv Gulag (blurry screen). This would mean the timer would be in the RTA format. I'm not sure what load differences there are between Xbox and PS2 or even differences between the same consoles, but I think RTA would be best as BLACK isn't that popular, at least right now, so we shouldn't need to count our loads out in editing software, we can always review timing rules again later if the game gets more runners.

Timing was the big thing, playing on a used file should be allowed and obvious things like no cheat codes, if this game even has any.
