With all the rules and stuff sorted out earlier than expected, we decided to open the leaderboards a bit early. You may submit your runs.

As is standard practice for new releases, we will not be opening the leaderboard right away at launch. We are planning to wait an extra 3 weeks, until February 23rd, before we begin accepting run submissions. There are three main reasons for us to do this:

1. This gives everybody a fair chance to play the game before any leaderboard rules need to be set in stone.

2. This allows us to properly build up the moderation team without needing to rush that process to keep up with verifying runs from day 1.

3. We are expecting the game's forced online features to potentially complicate things, and we may need extra time to account for this.

We may choose to open the leaderboards early if we feel that the embargo is no longer necessary, but for now the plan is to wait until February 23rd.
