I call BS.

Robert says stop posting in this thread, so... let's see what happens?

 

[minsarker]

I respect "Robert's" (quotations because I dont know him) wishes that he doesnt want anyone to post but I really wanted to. It does seem odd that he beats his PR by 5sec right after you beat him but thats life. Maybe he was just having fun up until now, just solving for fun. Now he sees someone is close to him so he really starts trying and practicing and beats it.

Its not unbelievable, but I do understand where you are coming from that it seems suspicious. In the end, it can go both ways easily.

Dude, qqwref is hardly new to hi-games...

BTW I have no stance on this, I just had to correct the silly statement.

 

[minsarker]

Sorry, let me rephrase that. Now he saw someone beat him so he really starts trying and practicing and beats it.

Its really a matter of motivation and probably human nature as well. I know at least I do it in sports. I don't really care if people get almost as good as me, but the second their better I'm done and just go for it.

 

[Rikane]

What if he just got a lucky solve? I mean, Erik (I think) even said it before, something along the lines of Robert saying that most of the pairs were made for him already.

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

Hmmm...I have no position on this, but I think we should have a section called "cubing conspiracies" on the forum for these types of threads

 

[Lt-UnReaL]

It wouldn't be that hard to code a program to slow down the time. I bet that's how that guy got 27 seconds on tessellate on hi-games.

 

[qqwref]

As far as I can tell the 27 seconds is real/verified - there are youtube videos and he's well-known in the tetris community. If they trust him, I do.

it's usually like this for a lot of things like cubemania, etc. Records are posted by people and most of them are obviously fake and some you just never know. Of course there are people on the side that think they cheated, and people who wont judge and believe it is legit. It's pretty much the same thing and theres no way to prove it so Michael is entitled to believe he could be cheating etc just as others are entitled to believe probably not a cheater, the solve looks normal.

 

[ccchips296]

but on CM, you can just manually add times and theres no verification....for this, they record a video and stuff so its not really the same...

 

[Faz]

Erik - Get him on the forum......... Now.

of course there is less proof and much easier to cheat but thats not what im getting it. There were always be doubts on records etc and some people will think one thing and others think differently. There is NO way to change that so its no point in arguing...

 

[ccchips296]

true......you can just let them be i suppose. its not like theyre winning anything from cheating on hi net and CM and whatnot.

 

[Robert-Y]

Ok I registered as soon as I got home and I have not read the rules yet because I can't be bothered, so sorry in the future if I do something wrong on the forum.

Ok so, I am not a cheater, I cannot fully prove that I am not cheating nor can anyone else on hi-games.net, even Michael himself. I want to make a video of myself solving with my hands in the video, along with the program, but people are now saying that I could've created the replay, so can you guys please tell me what I can do to prove I'm not a cheater?

 

[blah]

Actually, not that I doubt you at all - I really don't have an opinion and don't feel the need to have an opinion on this whole issue - but how do we know that the person whose username is Robert-Y on speedsolving.com is the same Robert Yau on hi-games.net?

Point is, people can question all they want till you show yourself I guess.

 

[Robert-Y]

Ok how do I prove I am Robert Yau? (This proving business has gotten out of hand)

 

[Escher]

dont worry about it, he was joking.

just record yourself solving, real life or simulated (both?), and stick it on youtube.

 

[blah]

Chillax man, I was just kidding. I already said I have no reason to doubt you, nor any reason not to. I just wanted to point out the fact that if someone refuses to believe you, they're gonna be asking questions like that.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Yeah, you shouldn't worry about it at all.

Just start participating here in the forum, and assuming you're for real, your knowledge will essentially prove you are who you are through your posts. Erik has already been convinced that you're likely able to do this, through similar interaction.

Also, obviously, a YouTube video would go a long way towards convincing people. Most of us won't suspect you of faking that, since it would seem pretty silly for someone to fake something like that.

In my opinion, your behavior so far has certainly been consistent with that of someone who is for real.

In short, I hope you'll participate regularly here, and become a regular part of the community. And I hope your solves are really real, because they're quite amazing to watch!

 

[Robert-Y]

Ok, I'll try and make a video over the weekend or before the weekend if I get time, but how do I now prove that I don't use a program which fixes the scrambles? In fact how would anyone do this?
