I'd like to be added as a mod for Renowned Explorers:International Society. I've had a run pending verification for 2 weeks. The only mod for this game hasn't been on the site in 8 months. Thanks. https://www.speedrun.com/Renowned_Explorers_International_Society

Fair enough. I had never played with the handicap slider in the game, so I assumed that gave VP instead of IP.

I also didn't notice the change in rules between when I submitted my runs. While that's totally on me to keep track of, I still would've appreciated some sort of heads-up on this board that the rules had changed, rather than finding out after a run had been rejected. You can imagine how I felt after the moderator of the game (who's the current WR holder and only other runner) rejected a new WR run by citing a stipulation that wasn't there a day ago.

I just had a run rejected because "USA needs to have +3 handicap as per the standard rules of Twilight Struggle". I've checked my paper version of the rules which came with my version of the game, as well as the most recent version of the rules on TSR's web site (http://www.gmtgames.com/living_rules/TSRules2nd.pdf), and they both state under rule 3.4 under game setup:

"Finally, place the VP marker on the Victory Points Track on the zero space."

I've never seen any version of the rules, nor I have I ever played a game with anybody else, where the US got a 3 point head start. Can my run be re-accepted? Thanks.
