MAJOR CHANGES FOR SPEEDY OR NOT

Strap in everyone because there's a couple of things to cover.

Disabling Fog After extensive discussion within the team we have decided to allow all runners to disable fog if they so wish to through editing the .ini file. The mod team is very concerned with allowing changes to the game files but there are members within the community who arn't able to enable it and it appear to be hardware related. Further, we as the mod team, currently dont have a way to prove or disprove the editing of game files without physically checking an individuals files. So in the interest of fairness

Specifically relating to fog we are allowing the editing of the .ini file. If the team suspects that there is some sort of tampering with the game in any other way we may ask you for evidence/files or reject the run.

Goodbye to A+% We are officially saying goodbye to A+% as it is by far the least run category and doesnt really have its own identity. It was originally added way back in the beginning of RoN Speedrunning as a bridge between Obj% and S% and we were hoping to see unique run styles or strategies be used in this category. However, it is now mostly a "Failed S%" grave yard. but......

Hello to Arrest% With the fairwell of A+% we are introducing Arrest%. This new category will be the new bridge between Obj% and S%. The category's rules will be finalised over the coming days and we would love to hear your thoughts as the community on what you want the category to look like. But in short, it will be Obj% without killing or using leathal munitions on civilians.

Category Extensions Leaderboard Approved!!!! Rejoice! Speedrun.com approved the new leaderboard within 8 hours, which is absolutely wild. The CE leaderboard will include Partol Officer% and Revolver% along with any future fun categories that you, the community want! Put them in⁠ suggestions This leaderboard isnt setup yet but here it is! https://www.speedrun.com/Ready_or_Not_Category_Extensions_ Runs currently on the main leaderboard will be ported across over the coming days/weeks

Mod Team Changes As a team of volunteers, our availability, hobbies and personal interests change over time and that changes our commitment to moderating this community.

With that we have some changes: We are saying goodbye to Luke, By Grace from the mod team on both SRC and Discord. Luke was one of the founding members of this community and their contributions are valued and appreciated.

The goat T4t0 will be stepping down from being a super moderator on SRC. They will still be around in the discord but their personal commitments (going crazy in Lethal Company Speedrunning) mean they just dont have as much time for RoN Speedrunning.

Firekillerxx / ash is being promoted to a super moderator due to their insane amount of run verification and level of activity within the community

Wow, that was alot. Well that covers everything thats going on at the moment. As always if you have suggestions for the community please let us know!

Hey everyone, before doing / submitting runs please make sure to read the rules very carefully to prevent run rejections from occurring. Good luck running :) !

Common reasons for rejections:

1. Runners do not include the full letter score at the end of their runs.
2. Runners play on commander mode instead of practice mode.
3. Multiplayer runs MUST be submitted by the host (this is to negate time differences).
