Happy 2022 everyone!

I've just updated/added some rules that are going to go into effect starting for runs done on 1-4-22 and later. Please take the time to review them yourself at some point, but here's the rundown:

-Effective 1-4-22, game audio is a requirement (jumpscares may be muted).

-FOR MULTIPLAYER RUNS: Effective 1-4-22, the rule regarding counting down to first movement is now REQUIRED. It was before, but it was rarely followed, so going forward, (starting 1-4-22) if your run doesn't have a countdown, it will be automatically denied. DO NOT BACKDATE YOUR RUNS. If you end up with a run that was ran on 1-4-22 or later that doesn't have a countdown, please just be honest and do not submit it or backdate it. If you are caught backdating, appropriate actions will be taken. (A more detailed explanation of the "countdown to first movement" rule can be found in both the Game Rules and individual Category Rules.)

-FOR MULTIPLAYER RUNS: Effective 1-4-22, because of the countdown rule, voice chat audio is now a requirement.

JUST A REMINDER: In your video titles, please do not preemptively claim "WR." Oftentimes, submissions will have "WR" in the title before it is even verified. Obviously, we have no moderation control for off-site affairs, but it's more of a manners thing, and we strongly recommend against it. After your run is verified, you are more than welcome to add it to your title, if it does turn out to be WR. It's recommended that you try to keep the title up to date if possible, changing it to "Former WR" if it is beaten. Your run's verification process won't be affected by whether or not the title claims it to be the WR, but again, it's more of a good sportsmanship thing than anything else.

Thank you everyone, happy new year and happy running!
