My 28.129 mac flap has gone through on the yahoo groups but hasn't been updated (I'm guessing it made the cutoff since it was right after my 28.245 which made the cutoff)

The time trial excel sheet broke about a month ago.  It appears to be a communication error between excel and the players page.  Did you change anything on your end, Alex?

None of the reports have been consistent.  The excel pulls all the course and flap times from the site.  I just tried updating.  DKM flap and all of special cup failed.  Example URL:

I'm also wondering what plans you have regarding the recent times sent in by Diogo Dos Santos Costa, apparently there have been some proof issues raised with him on other kart sites lately.

Someone called me out for claiming that there are still JCM/Karina alts on the ranks.  I'm usually not a fan of these witch hunt kind of things but *shrug*, I can at least share what I know.

AlexPenev wrote on 02/01/09 at 16:28:57:
Karina was Rosalinda. I don't think we had much clues about Alessandra.


The main suspect I always remember is Alessandra Moretti Martinelli.  One of the first callouts I recall is from Piet, here, in October 2007.

She never had a forum account so was not directly linked by IP address to the Karina/Rosalinda/JCM/whoever people.  She was very hard to keep pace with while trying to rise up the ranks.

I don't have any single piece of evidence that says she was one of them, either, but in just a few minutes of peeking around I came up with a handful of interesting details.

1. Existence: Try searching Google for "Alessandra Moretti Martinelli"....

2. Timing: Alessandra was active from Jan 2007 to Aug 2007, sent around 50 submissions. Rosalinda was active from Dec 2006 to Sep 2007, sent around 35 submissions.  Karina was active from Oct 2007 to Jun 2008, sent around 35 submissions.

3. Formatting: There are not many users who submit times with course abbreviations in lowercase.  For example, only 61 times for "dkm" have ever been submitted.  Here's a list of who made them....

Code:
$ grep "ndkm " ./* | grep -o "authorName.\{25\}" | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
    12 authorName":"Karina Villa","from":"
    11 authorName":"Alessandra Moretti Mar
     8 authorName":"robc1787","from":"&quo
     5 authorName":"richardsonwr","from":"
     4 authorName":"Paul Regeffe","from":"
     4 authorName":"MaxReese@web.de","from
     2 authorName":"Ren√© Bauer","from":"=?
     2 authorName":"Jeffrey Perez","from":
     2 authorName":"David GRARD","from":"&
     2 authorName":"Dave Bais","from":"&qu




4. Smileys: It is somewhat rare to use a smiley directly after a word like this:), without a space before.  Rough figures, but:

53 times it was used to begin a new line
2090 times :) after :) a :) space
154 times:) it:) was:) used immediately after another:) word

Here are the people that have done it at least 5 times:

Code:
$ grep "[a-mo-zA-MO-Z]:[)(]" ./* | grep -o "authorName.\{25\}" | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
    32 authorName":"mike hartjens","from":
    23 authorName":"Scott Dufault","from":
    15 authorName":"studentswimmer","from"
     8 authorName":"Rosalinda Cancino","fr
     8 authorName":"Mendel, Lucas","from":
     7 authorName":"Karina Villa","from":"
     6 authorName":"Alessandra Moretti Mar
     5 authorName":"remy paak","from":"rem
     5 authorName":"alvin.vanasselt","from




5. Catfishing(?): Karina definitely used instant messaging to build credibility by talking to males.  Alessandra did the same, at least with Andrew Manning (see here).

As Piet indicated, three girls joined the MKDD site within a few months back then. How many more have joined since?

I was made aware of some details in a Discord chat. No one seems to share details on the forum these days.

The user Frederiek is part of the leadership of the MK7 site and he shared images of a discussion he had with Diogo where Diogo admitted that he sent in some times to the MK7 site without video or picture proof that he had not actually achieved, in order to motivate him to beat those times.  The discussion indicated that he had also done this for some other games.

I just noticed Diogo had just recently submitted new PRs for MKDD and since none of these details are on the forum and Alex isn't an active Discord user, I wanted to bring it to his attention.  These things used to usually be mentioned in the Board Staff section of the forums where those who are in charge of the various sites could share important information with each other, but that section seems to be quite silent on the subject so far.

Removed Alessandra, last active 2007. Can easily reinstate her times if she comes back and asks wtf, but I like your analysis.

Dunno about Diogo. He is not high ranked here. Perhaps we can follow suit of whatever the sites he's high-ranked on want to do.

Yo Alex, just a few things about the update:

The record I submitted this week was a 1:41.250, not .280, although I did indeed drive one the day before. Update is displayed here https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mkdd/conversations/messages/34141

Also the update says last April, but my previous PRs were both from April 2017

Has anyone cut more than 286 AF in a single week? Don't recall seeing a higher number in the news archive, but I may be wrong.

I think these are the biggest ones


#466 Thomas Hayward .. after a year .. 210 pt AF cut

#329 Kevin McAteer, moved up nigh 200 positions with a 214pt cut

#813 Mike Molignano, also a recent recruit, slashed 226 AF points in his first week on the charts

#137 Alvin van Asselt's comeback .. sent in a new set of 32 PRs, improving his 60Hz position by 230 AF pts to reach No. 150

#330 Remy Paak had 3 weeks of big improvements to report since his last submission.. a 234pt AF cut

#555 Wino Bouwens enjoyed a productive first week on the charts, cutting 238pts in AF

newcomer #509 Alexander Walz started using the Barrel Train .. smashed all 32 of his PRs, resulting in a 245.8pt

#356 Jean-Christophe Leger .. smashed most of his PRs set last week, where by smash we mean a 250pt AF cut

#467 Bob Holden was by far the busiest person this week, sending 83 PRs across eight submissions .. score a godzilla size 257pt AF cut

#432 Pascal Lacasse, inactive over the whole of the past year, made a comeback with 25 new PRs. He amassed a 260pt AF cut

#580 Julien Leclerc sent in his first serious submission in a year, scoring a huge 260pt AF cut

#341 Sandra Schellmann played her way to one of the most successful weeks imaginable for someone at her ranking, scoring a massive 270pt AF cut

#464 James Farrell-Saw saved up 4 months worth of scores to divulge a huge 272pt AF cut

#510 Tommy Kluver joined in December but remained surprisingly quiet .. this week he went full force by submitting 34 new improvements .. netting a 277 pt AF cut

#465 Hugh Moorhead scored a spectacular 396pt AF cut, which some might discount because he is a brand new player and can quickly improve

@Alex
I can vouch for Liam Eastham (http://www.mariokart64.com/mkdd/profile.php?pid=1744) for having legit times. We met at Jacob's wedding and talk regularly on discord. He has streamed a lot of his progress and recently switched to console two months ago, developing a full timesheet.

I can assure you the rest of the community supports Liam's legitimacy on this as well
