Imagine wasting 2 months of your life dissecting other guilds fraps of your guild losing then having it get shit on for being entirely inaccurate data to make your point.

Furoar literally lives in the P99 data center basement.

Sorry you're not that dedicated.

the entire defense against this accusation seems to essentially be "vanq racers are very good and practice a lot, therefore they cannot possibly be cheating."

pick a professional sport, and I guarantee you that when you identify the cheaters, it will always include people at the very top of the talent and dedication columns. these people, who care the most, are willing to do anything to win - including, it turns out in most circumstances, breaking the rules.

probably takes about a dozen or so hours to watch some youtube videos, learn the lines, practice the route, and get a time that's within the margin of what could be considered competitive. this isn't some kind of secret, hard to replicate, feat. the fact that one guild has such a monopoly on people willing to do that is more indicative of how stupid this is as a means of determining who gets to kill king tormax every seven days than it is of anything else.

also like to add that offering to come race someone in person doesn't really speak to the underlying accusation, which is not that stunningly isn't a good racer, but which is that stunningly is cheating to gain an advantage. he could cheat at a race he would have won anyways (much like the pro athletes referenced above).

Imagine you have a 40 hour a week job like as a mechanic or something and when you get home to your "volunteer" job, you're dead tired and you have to watch a 2 hour presentation on the statistical anomalies of 16 bit giant slaying so that it's mystical power armor is evenly distributed to 45 year old diabetic men so that they don't throw a tantrum

Ummm......

You do realize that this is just a game, right?

This reminds me of when I was 8 years old and we had a fight about whether the hotel was on Parkplace, or Boardwalk, after our dog tipped the board.

It didn't really matter then, and certainly doesn't matter now.

And the other person is right. The managers don't care, because in the end it's all just petty nonsense. Even if they are scripting, or glitching, or lagging, or dropping framerate,......no one was hurt, no animals were killed, and no crimes were committed.

But hey, if you wanna do a Perry Mason on a 20 year old elf sim, have at it. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This thread demonstrates how trivial it is to script race starts.
If the meta changes due to this new information, the server is competitive.
If the meta does not change, then it is only a contest between the people who are willing to script.

You realize that changing the racing meta will not help Riot, right? We get your guild is dead but there's no racing on 98% of the mobs. It's just 2 were talking about here...

I have never been in Riot.
But I find your dedication to preserving the race format fascinating.
