I didn't really know the answer when submitting a run and the rules didn't say, but when does time start and end for this game?

is that why you posted on twitter "How do you, a non-mod, deal with a moderator for a game who 1) isn't receptive to outside input, 2) breaks their own rules, and 3) doesn't know how the game works (e.g. making "new game+" rules for a game with no new game+ mode)?"

You could wait a bit.

Timer starts at the "reincer" boat cutscene and ends on the start of the cutscene where the mc run. Anyway there's a ingame timer so you shouldn't worry about that.

That wasn't talking about this game, much less any of the mods for it, but thanks for the answer.

Just added the timer stuff to the rules, and for your other issue if the mods suck that bad I think the site encourages you to tell them directly but if they don't care I'd say try your luck here brother: https://www.speedrun.com/the_site/thread/dueac/1

Thanks for the advice. And I swear, I'll submit another run when I can that doesn't have garbage audio and idiotic "brightness challenges."

Dude my run was made after like just 4 hours of training the splits and I choked hard on multiple occasions, it's kinda funny it's pretty appropriate for such a quality game to have such quality runs.
