@JDAW6 I won't be the first but hopefully I will be the last. You don't need to fake solves to impress people over the internet, to be honest, most of us don't care if you average 15 seconds or 45 seconds, as long as you are enjoying and progressing, everything will be ok!
The only one that is getting harmed by this behavior is you. Imagine that I create a thread and I say that I am sub 13 and that I can achieve sub 10 solves regularly. On the forum most of the users will believe me. Now, if I go to a comp and then proceed to barely achieve a 19 average then the people on the forum might be sceptical that I am sub 13 at home, I could make excuses like nerves, etc. and people might still believe me. I might get away with this behavior 1 or 2 times but more times will be very difficult.
The problem of lying is not the lie per se, but keeping it.
Finally, I want you to know that long time ago there was this guy that was new to the forums, he averaged like 35s and in less than a month he improved so much thast he averaged 18s! People did not really believed him so he uploaded a video to prove himself... the problem was that the solves were fake, he already started with the cross solved, he got caught cheating.
The good thing is that he confessed and apologized and promised to never do it again.
He continue practicing and improving at an amazing rate that he eventually became the greatest of all time.
Yes, I am talking about Feliks Zemdegs
I wish you well and to continue practicing and improving!
