Hello speedrunner, nice to meet you here :) You want to speedrun this game? No problem, just read this thread and the rules first, submit your video and if everything is correct/not suspicious, I'll verify it.

Q: Are glitches allowed? A: Yes, but the rules of each category still have to be followed.

Q: What's actually a "glitch"? A: A glitch is the exploiting of an error made by the developers using the normal in-game features. There are many different types of glitches. The most famous glitch for me is called "Out of Map" (OOM). For example:

Q: Why are emulators banned? A: Emulator option is now (4th November 2018) available as I can't see unfair advantages compared to normal PS2 version.

Q: Any rules for the video itself? A: Yes, upload your video on YouTube and/or on Twitch. For YouTube, make sure that your video is public or listed. For Twitch, your stream shall be saved as a highlight, not as a previous broadcast because it disappears after 14 days. I'll inform you if your video isn't available anymore for any reasons in order to fix it. Otherwise, I'll delete your run to keep the fairness (run always with a video). And the timer shall be clearly visible and readable.

Q: Any behaviour rules? A: Of course! Respect each other, no swear words, no spam. We can solve everything with nice and friendly words.

Q: Why no discord? A: Maybe when we grow up but for now the forum is enough. Just open a thread when you have a question or sth.

Q: I want to be a moderator, too. Any requirements? A: Yes. 1) Submit a full-game run. 2) Ask me. However, I stay as the only moderator here for now.

Q: Something about you? A: Well, my name is Proenke, I come from Germany and I'm a speedrunner since March 2017. I have a YouTube, Twitter and Twitch account. I'm a huge fan of racing and shooter games.

Have fun and enjoy it here :)
