I had to go all of a sudden and now there's so many posts to read.
What gives you the authority to say that about this website? It's arrogant, obnoxious, elitist garbage.Until you can show me a website that fits the description of an official website better than the MKDS players' page, then calling other sites just as official is arrogant, obnoxious, and elitist. The player's page has the most experience in running MK sites. He does more than other MK sites to attract members from all over the world. And most importantly, it's the only MKDS site (afaik) that has a decent proof policy.
World Record means best in the WORLD. Who cares if this is the most official site. Times better than the ones here exist, so denying them the quality of being a WR just because it isn't on the site is hypocritical.Well there could theoretically be some guy living in the middle of nowhere with the WR for running a mile, but that doesn't mean we have to stop calling Hicham's time the WR.
Guiness uses the best known accomplishments for many many things. We KNOW that the times here aren't the best, so it definately is not the same thing.We don't know that. All we know is there might be other better times, but no one cares, just like no one cares that some guy in the middle of nowhere beat Hicham's time.
Your backyard has 0 credibility, unlike the Japanese website.What's the difference? It seems identical to me. He can claim whatever he wants about what he did in his backyard, just like Japanese people can submit whatever times they want to the site. Until they get a proof policy, they have exactly the same credibility as his backyard or as some random site a group of friends made to brag about how awesome they are at the game.
Will be so funny when the japanese show proof and everyone here will cry.The only reason I'd cry is if I was jealous of them, which isn't the case. And I already explained jealousy and trust earlier so I won't get into that again. If they show proof I'll be happy.
PRB is irrelevant to my argument. I am simply questioning why a player HAS to be a member of this site for his time to be considered a World Record.Well if the guy in the middle of nowhere never submits his running time to guiness, as I said, no one will care.
The Japanese website has credibility because they have pictures proving those scores were obtained. What makes videos more credible than pictures when PRB isn't an issue? There's no way every single one of those players has some way to hack the DS to show those times.Miguel hasn't got video proof for over half of his WR's. Nor have a lot of players who currently hold WR's.As I said earlier, there's a big difference between no credibility whatsoever and just no vid proof but good reason to believe he's telling the truth. With vids of other races to show his skills combined with never refusing to explain his strats, it's pretty convincing that the times are real.
prb-times suspicious for prb-times lol...just...too...funny. you know that's just hilarious.I don't get what's funny about that, unless you don't know what the word suspicious means. I'll use an MKSC analogy. Let's say there's a glitch in MKSC called tree-tricking, and there's a certain race where 1:40 is an excellent non-glitch time and 1:36 is an excellent tree-tricking time. If someone claims 1:32 with tree-tricking, then it's a tree-tricking time that's suspicious for a tree-tricking time.
you don't give a shit if they are set with prb or not...you are curious, i can fell it!Yeah, of course I'm curious, but it's irrelevant to my point. Even if they do use prb in CCB, I don't see how sub-1:28 is possible.
The Japanese website has credibility because they have pictures proving those scores were obtained. What makes videos more credible than pictures when PRB isn't an issue? There's no way every single one of those players has some way to hack the DS to show those times.Everyone knows it's easy to fake pics. And so what if it's unlikely that they're all faked? It's also unlikely that they're all faked if there's no kind of proof. We need a kind of proof that tells us they got those times. Videos are much harder to fake, and if they try to mess with the timer it's likely to be caught when you notice the driving quality isn't good enough. As the april fools joke/Hab incident said, "Our proof methods are just a method to increase trust. However, even after you succesfully delivered the proof, it's important to realize that our existing proof methods still aren't a 100% guarantee that your times are really valid."
By the logic of the elitists here, no video proof = no WR. Not all scores here are backed by video so they don't have the right to be called world records.Point covered already.
You guys also say WRs are only held by registered members. Well Mario Kart 64 has some acknowledged world records not held by registered members. Yet another contradiction.Are you talking about Former Member? What do you mean by registered? His times are in the mariokart64.com database.
