Hey all,
Magik promoted me to mod status today, and I'm working through the queue of runs to be verified. I've been running this game for a while, so if you have any questions about sod2 or speedrunning feel free to contact me and ask.
Also, I set up a new discord server specific to sod speedrunning: https://discord.gg/AfPNfANduF . Feel free to join and let us mods know if there are channels or resources you'd like added.

Alright!
Did a bit of a site revamp today and went through all the queued runs to verify/deny them. With the revamp, it changed some categories and variables around, so there's a chance that I messed up with manually converting runs to the new system. Please check over your runs and let me know about any issues you find!
Also, currently the full "co-op" and "boon" options are only available on Green zone runs. If you want to do those kinds of runs on other difficulties, feel free. Just lemme know, and I'll add the option in. I just didn't feel that there was a point to adding the same "empty" options to the top of every difficulty since it'd just add to the clutter. Please don't let this discourage you from running what you wanna run though. I'm happy to add in any option that people are running :)
Remember to check out the discord! I can't say that we mods will check back to this site every day, but if you drop by there and let us know there is a run to verify, it should be able to get checked within a couple days.
edit: also also, the old pre-update 25 leaderboard is still available under the "misc" tab! I didn't think it'd be easy to save, but it was actually trivial lol. History is preserved!
Only thing left is to get the rules added to all the categories...
Revamp & rules should all be done! Let me know if anything is broken or unclear.
One small note: Heartland got moved from a "full-game" run to an "individual level" run due to the way variables (for main game map and legacy) work on the backend. I could only apply each variable to either all categories or only one specific category but not a subset of categories, so there was no way to do "all but Heartland" that I could see, unfortunately. Rather than have a bunch of at best useless (and at worst confusing) options for Heartland, I moved to board to be an IL instead.
