What do the prb rules have to do with anything?  Whether they used prb or not, they're still really fast times with no vid proof.


that was just random.

as if you wouldn't care about if they used PRB or not...

and PRB was mentioned by Josh before, check it out.

it is part of this issue.

well, if you would actually care for the competition and the faster japanese times, you could find a way to get to these vids! don't be

so boring...

but, heck you're 2nd...on your way to #1 again...(on this site)...so why should you care about the faster japanese times?...wouldn't

do you any good... Grin

I agree with chilldedtbk about the "World Records" page, maybe it should have a name change to "Site Records" page, if only site members times are allowed to be shown.


Thats stupid... theres nothing stoping the japanese players from joining and adding to the wrs... there is even a japanese join page http://www.mariokart64.com/mkds/join.php?lang=jp and there is no proof that they aren't using PRB so these are wrs according to the site rules

as far as im concerned times on the site are WRs unless the japanese start showing vids instead of pics

My original point was that the times are suspicious.  Saying it's my fault that I think they're suspicious because of the prb rules makes no sense, they're still suspicious for prb times.

I'm sorry, but requiring videos for something to be considered a world record is extremely unfair to those who simply don't have the proper equipment. The Japanese gamers have a very strong history of coming up with insane scores for games. There have been many instances where Japanese scores were disputed for years and many thought they were lies, but then the strategies were revealed and they all proved to be legit.

I also agree it should be "site records" instead of world records. Calling times on this site the world records when there clearly are better ones is just an extremely selfish thing to do.

It's not arrogant, that's how WRs work, you have to submit them, and as of now the MKDS players' page is the most official MKDS WR site.

No Japanese player has a camara that can record a vid or know someone who does... be realistic... they basically invented that shit... many of the records on the site aren't proven im not saying they have to be proven but if your gonna send a crazy time we need proof that it isn't PRB first off and wrs should be proven if possible

and as for wrs being srs... not gonna happen... like i said the japanese have every opportunity to join and submit times... but we cannot just take their times and put them up without there permission and without being sure they are true (them submitting would be a certain amount of proof to that effect in the short term)

"not having proper equipment" is a lame excuse nowadays.

if you can afford a DS and MKDS, you can afford a digital camera (not top quality but you can get one at least for proof purposes)

This is only 1 website, it clearly does not represent the whole World. Calling the best times on this site World Records, when there are clearly faster times out there seems silly to me.

well, did i write you would find them suspicious ONLY becoz of PRB rules? if so then i got that wrong. of course i know you find them

suspicious anyway... BUT, don't deny the fact that PRB is an issue here as well. coz this site disallows it, japanese ranking page

doesn't. and stop trying to outsmart me with such lame 1-liners... Grin

Well that's their problem, not ours.  If they can't show proof then they don't get recognition for the WRs.  That's how all WR competitions are.  Not requiring proof is unfair to the people who do show proof.

The Japanese gamers have a very strong history of coming up with insane scores for games.

As I said, that's irrelevant.  Just because some Japanese people are honest, that doesn't mean all Japanese people deserve to be automatically given trust they haven't earned.

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.

Then what did you mean by "and the PRB issue............AGAIN............well, that's your own fault for making up those rules!!!"?  What's my fault?  When I said they're suspicious, I meant prb times are suspicious for prb times and the non-prb times are suspicious for non-prb times.  I thought that was common sense, everyone knows they allow prb.

This is only 1 website, it clearly does not represent the whole World. Calling the best times on this site World Records, when there are clearly faster times out there seems silly to me.

If I start a new WR book, then should guiness have to switch to the term book record?  No because guiness is more official and well known.

Money is not the issue most of the time. The issue is convincing the parents to get one so you can prove records they probably don't give a crap about.

It's going to be funny when you get flamed the shit out of for being a dumbass.

They're most likely using PRB, plainly because they have no rules against it.  This is the foremost site of MKDS records, therefore we have a decent amount of authority to call something a WR or not, and we don't accept PRB times.  I'm sure you understand that.  PRB is a bunch of crap, it's not an intended maneuver in the game, but Time Trials do mean for you to "get around the track as fast as possible".  For now, we leave it to the people in the higher echelons of this site to decide what's going down.  I say the Japs are cheaters.

/Rant

edit- this was aimed to a post, way up in the board.  noone around me is being yelled at.
