The leaderboard will be locked for two weeks upon release

Like the title says. We know people will be eager for their day 1 WRs/PBs but we feel this is the best approach. The release of Curse of the Moon was a disaster as far as leaderboard creation goes. We want to circumvent that this time by giving the game, and the inevitable speedrun, some time to grow.

Many people will be busy through the week of June 23rd through July 1st, the moderators included. The goal is to have the leaderboard go live on the 2nd of July, with us mods working behind the scenes to understand how the leaderboard should be established. Things like IGT vs RTA were a huge point contention with Curse of the Moon, as were glitchless and glitched categories. Two weeks will give the game time to cool off a bit, and let real strategies emerge, instead of let's plays being passed off as WR.

tl;dr go play the game, worry about the leaderboard later

PS. The date of July 2nd makes the assumption that the game will of course, be released on time.

Categories and rules will be added tonight. Runs can be submitted as soon as I'm done setting things up, but it may be until late July 2nd - July 3rd when things start to get verified. I'm not expecting a huge flood given the 2 week buffer that was put in place, but I'm still expecting a lot.

I'm sure there will be a lot of questions regarding decisions made. Those should be directed to the discord server. The reason categories are rolling out a day early is to help ease into the 2nd and 3rd of July as we iron things out.
