So there's this kid on youtube...

[ConnorCuber]

this kid is insane. why bother faking? you know he will be caught (sorry for no caps. im in a really uncomfortable position right now)

How do you know? For all you know, there could be several cubers that fake and don't get caught.

 

[Me]

No one remembers Yish?

THAT I DO!! XD
this is almost the same, but this kid has more videos with highly implausible solves.

All the Yish threads are almost worth searching for though.

 

[StachuK1992]

I just recorded a video ranting about this guy and our plan, and am busy uploading.
I hope we get a really nice turn-out.

 

[ChrisBird]

I sent him a message telling him how obvious his fakes were. And the obvious contradictions in his channel, and this is all he responded with.

Huh? I dont know what you are on about...

StachuK, Im in.

 

[StachuK1992]

MonkeyDude.
You have much more influence than I do.
Any chance that you could post a video, at least linking some users to mine?

Still adding annotations.

 

[ChrisBird]

This just keeps getting better!

I explained in clearer detail about it and he said...

I know of no lies contradictions or fake videos on my channel, I average 25 seconds on the 3x3, and 8 on the 2x2, I think you are looking at my all time personal best times on my channel?

This is freakin' Hilarious!

 

[StachuK1992]

Yes. This will be fun.

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

How about uhm...challenging him with your own scrambles?

 

[StachuK1992]

How about uhm...challenging him with your own scrambles?

That sounds fair. Good idea.
recorded, but will only be posted if tonight's thing doesn't work.

 

[Yes We Can!]

BEH!
And that kid is a subscriber of mine *O*

 

[anderson26]

This kid is such an idiot. In the video where he solves all his puzzles, he gets a 58 second something on the 3x3 and then has a video where he gets 9 seconds. Impossible! Then he says his best time on the 5x5 is 2 minutes, where he gets a 13 minute solve in that video. I can go on and on...

 

[mazei]

Ooh ooh, let me challenge him. Or anyone else want to do it first? I think we should take turns.

 

[shelley]

ZOMG YOUTUBE IZ SRS BSNS

 

[Stefan]

Seriously? Of all people, *I* am the only one believing him?

.84 non-lucky 2x2 solve
he starts all of his magic solves already holding the magic.
look at the difference of times between various videos.
a 58s 3x3 solve in one video, and a 9s solve in another.

 

[panyan]

Hes to stupid to even know how to take down a youtube.

Yeah.. to stupid to take down a youtube.

lol!

 

[Stefan]

Stefan. Did you not see his channel?

I did check out his channel, did check out some of his videos, did check out the evidence in this thread, and came to the conclusion that he's honest. Some of the evidence against him is flat out wrong, much is flawed, and none is convincing.

> .84 non-lucky 2x2 solve
This could be true, or he might just have a different definition of "lucky" than the one we use.

> he starts all of his magic solves already holding the magic.
So what? He's not claiming this to be WCA-compatible. And I personally am very interested in the pure solve time, less in the time wasted picking up and putting down the puzzle.

> look at the difference of times between various videos.
> a 58s 3x3 solve in one video, and a 9s solve in another.
How old are those two videos?

 

[ErikJ]

using some computer magic I have made a scramble that matches his for the sub 10 3x3 video. Scramble with red on F and yellow U.

L' U2 R2 B2 L' D2 R B2 L' F2 L' D' L2 U' L2 F' U F'

I got a 6.20 on it lol.

 

[StachuK1992]

Stefan. I understand where you are coming from; this all seems just so sketchy...
What do you recommend I do?

I would take down my video, but I'm not sure that he's not cheating. I'm more or less leaning on the opinion that he is cheating, but also keep in mind the fact that, even if he is cheating, he's about 13 years old. Sure, he should know better than to do so, but unfortunately, he does not, and I don't think that berating a 13-yr old is any better than cheating.

So. What are your thoughts?
Leave the vid. up, or remove it, and forget it?


I would def. remove it right now if he would bother to respond to *any* negative comments; the fact that he doesn't really makes me respect him less.

 

[CharlieCooper]

i'm a "fake b*tch" apparently. so he says on my pyraminx video. that's definitely true, everyone knows in competition i only get like a 30second average... :|
he's going to block me he says... oh woe is me.. hah.
