gsingh's Road to Sub 6

[Eli Apperson]

Not one sub 10 average. Sure you can mess up or be nervous at a comp, but if you are actually sub 8 we should see some proof of that, and this certainly points against it.

 

[AlphaCuber is awesome]

Sure but that would only explain 1 bad average, also note your average is 3 seconds slower not 6, despite you averaging slower and therefore being more likely to have greater differences in your average.

but you do believe me, right?

 

[baseballjello67]

I honestly am in favor of gsingh not cheating. I don't see why cheating would go to benefit him in any way because there was no reason for him to prove anything to us in the first place. Sure, he was caught cheating once, but if he was already caught and he learned his lesson, there is no reason to say that he is cheating now. But ngl, the fact that there has been multiple times where he has been asked to post a video and not posted does make this seem kinda sus. But, does it affect us if he says he average sub-8 at home? No! So, I ask, why did we start this discussion about trying to accuse gsingh of cheating in the first place?

In a bit of a shorter format, (still read above), DO WE HAVE ANYTHING TO GAIN BY ACCUSING GSINGH OF CHEATING?

(Yes, I know cuberswoop is gonna come in with the negative emojis on all of these comments)

I'm waiting for you, cuberswoop. I'm waiting..............

For sure

Same here.

Still waiting, cuberswoop. Still waiting.

Yes, we do have something to gain. Cheating and lying will do nothing to help, and, for newer cubers on the fourm, seeing someone go from a 1:30 avg to 1:00 on 5x5 in 4 days for example gives an unrealistic expectation. Like I said, lying and cheating can only hurt, so it's best to keep it away from any hobby.

 

[Abram Grimsley]

He was caught cheating. He may have apologized, but it does not mean he learned his lesson. If you cheat, you not only lie to others, you are also lying to yourself. And it makes people no longer trust you. Not saying that gsingh lied, but, going from 1:30 to 1:00 in 4 days is unlikely. Just remember, lying will always have consequences; you can't lie forever, the truth will come out sooner or later. Take it from personal experience, DON'T LIE.

Do we improve by accusing him of something? If he cheated, then it makes him feel pressured when he does competition solves because he would be desperate to prove himself. We all know that cheating isn't a good thing to do, and I agree with this part:

lying and cheating can only hurt, so it's best to keep it away from any hobby.

but to be honest, him saying he averages better than his competition times only affects him.
The reason why many of us even have progression threads in the first place is to set goals for ourselves that we want to achieve and to keep up with them. If you cheat, then it is a you problem. I can see why he would cheat but I don't think he did this time because there is no obvious reason.

I know all of this, because I was watching the whole think unfold between March and April about his 5x5 times. I have personally faked one 2x2 time, and that was me not counting a +2 on a 13 second solve, because I was trash at the time. I felt extremely bad about doing it, because I am one to not normally cheat, so I fixed it. If someone wants to cheat to beat someone or something like that, then I will speak out against it. But, at home, he isn't really going "against anyone". He is trying to beat his own records and get his own new bests.

I have a question for you guys. If gsingh cheated, does it impact your life in any way, shape. or form?
