If we make it so that you got to choose the difficulty of the races, it will be unfair compared to other who choose a different difficulty. Choosing hard makes it so it's even. The difference between the difficulties is something I'm unsure about.

I actually thought about this. I might do some experimenting myself.

Hi Lafungo,

I have been noticing for quite a bit that runs take forever to go through and I'm glad a mod position has opened up. I often look at speedrun.com quite a bit and, although new to the speedrun community in general. I started watching things in November/December and actually starting to do runs of my first game in May, which was actually Mario Kart 8. Although I have only talked to a few fellow members of the MK8 community, I'm not in the Skype group as i am quite shy and such. Sadly I'm not extremely familiar with the MKWii community, but that's not my game anyway :P. I still do MK8 runs as much as possible but I'm also learning the Super Mario Galaxy games and school is also eating a large chunk of my time. However, I still have a great amount to time to play games as well. All in all, I want to be able to attempt to commit to the community a lot more than i have before, interacting with other runners. If you select a different community member for the role, that is actually great. There are plenty of other great members who deserve the role and have plenty of more time to commit to the role. :D
