A 1-8 was verified by SirLiveALot 3 days ago, and got verified 2 days ago. Yes I have a run from 5 days ago and it seems that no other runs are being verified at the moment.

While I can't speak for other mods, I mostly try to verify runs in the order they appear in the queue. I only sometimes go out of my way to verify a shorter run if convenient. My guess is that since SirLiveALot joined the server and started talking about his run, it caught the other mods' attention.

I'm sorry that your run hasn't been verified as soon as you like. I myself am dealing with a stressful housing situation that I'm trying to sort out and also don't have my PC with me. If you want, I can try to take a look at the run today or tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about the housing. That is like the bottom of the Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

I am sorry about your housing situation. And I should probably be more patient but thats for understanding.

Don't worry about it, I got it literally sorted out today!

It'll still be a month before I can get my PC back, but anyway. As a general rule of thumb, moderators on speedrun.com are given 21 days to verify a run.
