Hey there Exterminators!

Some runs has been identified to have covered certain elements of the game but still followed the main game rules, I made some changes in the main rules due to some runs covering up certain elements of the game that could lead to some questionable verification's, I added new rules regarding recording that can make it easier for you to not have a run that may be removed in a later date.

There also has been discussions regarding Bonewald with different times, Easy vs. Normal, Fear not, when this will be implemented every run will be re-verified to be normal runs/easy runs as long as you did not cover the UI, following the Recordings Section in the Main Rules.

We are open to suggestions on the rules and additional categories, please contact any of the speedrun moderators through Discord/message through the wbesite or create a forum post regarding that.

Good Luck Runners!

Changelog Added Recordings Section in the Main Rules:

Recordings:

Your recording should always show the game in it's full overlay/screen. (as in, not block any important details) and should not be cut in any way, this includes but not limited to:

1. Hiding the fact you are playing on Easy Mode
2. Covering the Speedrun UI
3. Covering Times during Bonewald/Trials Section Exceptions: The Livesplit Timer/Timer can be visible but should not block visible important details.

Your recording will be rejected if you cut/edit anything out of the start of the run till the end of the run, as that falls under "Cheating".

Your recording should have a timer otherwise it will be rejected.

You are allowed to modify the speedrun UI with an image overlay, but should not block any values/important data, "Any modification to the game files is forbidden." is still applied to this, you can only overlay it for example on OBS and/or other recording software to distinguish yourself.

Changelog End

tl;dr new categories, new recording rules, manual verification.
