I understand you don't want to spoil stuff in the rules, but those stuff are exactly MUST be written in the rules. No one who currently looks at the 100% rules, will know what to do. There isn't a progression counter in the game, and most of those stuff for 100% are arbitrary. If you don't want to write spoilers, then write the complete set of rules elsewhere (external page), and then link to that in the category rules.
@JJRC As someone said in another thread, if you have evidence of someone cheating a run or doing nonsense (like in that "foot ball game"), you should report it to the game moderators.
If this someone is the game moderator, you can report the user to site stuff via the support hub. But I can assure you that most moderators are not like this.
As for the "foot ball game" example - we don't know the details of the game request, but good chance it was legit. The fact the mod did nonsense in the leaderboard is a different thing.
Edit: apparently you can't spell "foot" and "ball" together...

My first ever "official" speedrun for my first speedgame. I got this one after a few attempts on the game. While this run of 1:26 is relatively glitchless, and is almost 9 seconds away from my current record; the interesting thing is that it took other players lot of time to pass this run.
My first unofficial speedrun before I joined the site, was a "speedrun" of an idle game that took around 65 days to complete. Still was about 4 months shorter than what it took for other players that played casually.
Since you want to play one game per day for a year; I assume you want relatively short games or categories, that don't need much time to get into.
- Web games are good for that, because you can start speedrunning a web game immediately without any preparation, and most of them are short (up to 5-10 minutes). So you can search the games list for web games and see if you like something. (You can sort by player activity)
- If you like or want to try short 2D platformer web games, here are some suggestions:
- Everything in the Eddynardo series: Sleepy Knight, One Trick Mage, Choppy Orc, Sticky Sorcerer, Greedy Mimic, Hasty Shaman
- Games by NoaDev: Fireblob, Emerald and Amber, Gum Adventures DX, Mini Arrows, Mini Blocks, Mini Colors, Mini Dash, Mini Jumps, Mini Push, Mini Switcher
- A Pirate and his Crates
- Hat Wizard 1, Hat Wizard 2, Hat Wizard Christmas
- Celeste Classic, Celeste Classic 2
- Every Pico-8 game on the web-games list, their icon looks like a sort of cartridge
And of course: This masterpiece
Well, surely there is a better way to convey that message, than doing it in the form of a pop-up ad. It covered half of my phone screen, and I instinctively closed it without even reading what it says lol.
