Major Ty1 Leader Board Overhaul Updates and Changelog!

Apologies for the ping but we have a lot to share! As some of you may be aware, four new moderators were instated with the intention of updating, modernising, and tweaking the speedrun.com page for the first Ty the Tasmanian Tiger game. We went into this process with a very long list of ideas collated from several conversations with our most active runners across the recent history of the game. Most of the major changes we were wanting to make have now been implemented and we're ready to start talking about events and small updates to the structure of the discord too. We have documented all changes and our reasoning for each of them and recommend that if you are coming back to this game from previously running it, you should look over this document to see what's different: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Uxt7e3rS26oYbedWhl3mjAQ7AZbj8VqA1qvf4_a5VPk/edit?usp=sharing

Here's a very condensed list of our changes: A Category Extensions board is now used for the miscellaneous categories All rules have been reformatted and in some cases updated to clarify how the category should work A list of verified tools has been created to clean up confusion over external applications New graphical assets have been created for a brand new look to the board Platforms are separated more accurately to the system differences for fairness New discord channels created for easier communication with moderators We're looking forwards to a cleaner, tighter, and more community driven future for this game as a speedrun and can't wait to hear what you think. That's the most important part for us going forwards. We want to know what you like and don't like about running Ty and if we can make any changes to make running the game easier. Please come chat to us on Discord in ⁠ty1-general or ⁠suggestions-box and let us know how you feel about the changes. What do you love? What do you hate? Thank you, and happy gaming! The Mod Team

(Also PS from Lawn, thankyou Buzchy and in particular Matt for doing a crazy amount of the leg work in implementing almost all of these changes. You guys are incredible <3)
