Leaderboard Rules Changes and Clarifications (October 15th, 2017)

I recently was appointed as a moderator to this game. Though there are only a scant few runs on the leaderboards, I took the initiative to rewrite the rules page in order to make it more comprehensive and clarify expectations for runs.

Though the rules set is much longer, there is still some room for considerations later on. I would like to add a "New Game" category eventually, and I would also like to implement an individual level leaderboard. For ILs, I am not sure if we should only allow NG+ or also allow "All Upgrades" cheat. I am leaning towards only NG+.

Another consideration is if we want to allow pre-loading of Besieged Village, or change the start of timing to when you confirm starting the level (after the text crawl) to remove loading for that level universally. Pre-loading involves clearing 1-1 and then restartting the level with it already loaded in memory to reduce the time to load. I am leaning towards starting the level so that a pre-load completion isn't necessary.
