Hi, my name is HippoLays, I know the name is odd, Well I figure I might as well start on the back story of my name as this is an Introduction. My name comes from one of my older usernames, Hippoly, I figured that the name Hippoly was a little bland, and hard to say, so I came up with "HippoLays". Now I am not new to the speedrun community. I have speedrun games before, on older accounts of SRC, but they are all forgotten now. I am a young Male, from the hills and farms in Northern West Virginia, just trying to have fun and enjoy my life online.

Goals: Some Goals I have as a speedrunner is to make a name for myself in the Speedrunning Community. I have always wanted to be known for something and leave behind a trail of crumbs for the next user that wants to know my story to find. Another goal of mine personally is to make a big impact on the moderation side of SRC. This includes proving some users that not all mod farmers are bad, one small plan of mine is to become a moderator of many games, from very popular games, to 0 active player games, in hopes of #1 finding out about a moderation cap on users, and #2 allowing old games to possibly be revived and for pending runs to be accepted after moderators went inactive. I can't say that I won't try to run farm some of the old games that have been forgotten, but if I do it is in hopes of finding new strategies on these forgotten games and post Guides for new users with the same hopes as mine to use and find strategies of their own that I never even contempated about.

About Me: In reality though, I am using this community, and speedrunning in general, as a distraction from an addiction I am attempting to overcome. It has been working very well and I hope that it continues to do so as I enjoy speedrunning in my spare time. It is a very good distraction from time to sit down and try to find new ways of beating a game, and new strategies to shave off even miliseconds of a IGT run. I hope that anyone else dealing with something like addiction can find the strength to overcome it and find a good distraction to help them continue to keep away from the world of addiction.

Anyways, enough about me I suppose. I hope this introduction gives anyone who reads a small view into who I am, and my goals on how I hope to change this community for the better. If anyone has any questions or would like me to elaborate more into my life I will gladly post more into any topics people would like to know more about. Thank You! :P
