I'm kicking it live!!!
03/08/11 at 08:09:21
 
I just had a brainstorm of a substitute tripod!  I can use my Mario Mini-Statue

PC 45"20 CR from a -2"50 margin (+0"34)


RBC2 1'26"33 [0"83 slower than Szabo's CR] :'( [finish on second try]


RGV3 58"81 and 0"41 slower than Fried's CR (even though i scored 58"00) [finish on second try]


RMC1 44"80 and STILL A CR from a 1"65 margin Shocked Shocked [finish on third try] Angry


and we save the best for last...my RKB2 42"30 (WR from a 3/4 second Shocked) [finish on second try]
PLUS INSTANT REPLAY Smiley


and I did my best too Smiley

Okay, I guess I'll give first reply.

My take is that those are beyond a reasonable doubt legitimate. I find it very hard to play the keystrokes that closely when trying to fake a replay for fun. His timing with the brake taps were spot on.

Fenner, can you do one more live vid though, with a couple more contingencies? I think what would utterly seal the discussion in regards to your integrity in this would be to show the game cartridge being placed inside the DS, then play through all the opening screens to the course. From there, play live one more time. (I would personally like to see a YD attempt). If you do this, there would be no more room for questioning.

Now, on the forward assumption that he is indeed legit, what should be done in regards to him joining the site? Should he be allowed to join again? Or because of his past record should he be kept in "exile"? Anyone up for discussion?

To me there's not much doubt about Terrence's legitimacy of his ability and the times he sets. Hell, Terrence has made these kind of hands-shown videos before, so it's not like they are anything new.  The doubt, as I have learnt, arises from his personality and whether such a divisive and historically circumspect figure should be allowed on the site. I feel he should be, but it's not for me to decide.

Having said that, the above steps measured by Andy would be a welcome bonus.

These are fine for someone who hasn't cheated before. However, because of Fenner's record, I cannot accept these as legit without good conscience. I'm not the only person making a call on whether or not he gets back on the site (although as I have stated before, I think it's a horrible idea to let him back on), but I believe he needs to live stream it for a staff member via Skype or something, or meet Shock in person (if he still wants to do it). YouTube vids aren't live vids, and Fenner's past issues prevent me from accepting these in good faith.

Well, the MK64 and MKDD sites trust him. He recently had his times added on the MK64 site and he's been on the MKDD site for a long, long time. He also had a few times up on the MKW site.

I would give this boy a chance, he has been though a lot. I've just recently gotten around to making a few videos for you, and Terrence has been making them for some time now, but people still refuse to accept him.  :'(

Didn't we already go through this once with Shock? He was quite legitimate on MKW so why would he lie about times for other games.

Didn't understand why he was allowed of those sites in the first place regarding his past. Likely because updaters didn't knew who he was...

This discussion is as stupid as the haters who said Jorge Hernandez wasn't legit even after he made a live YouTube video showing himself playing. He was legit as it turned out.


How can you find any type of argument against a video showing him playing without just completely making up bullshit?  Undecided

That case is different. The issues are not the video proof themselves (which I believe are legitimately done) but the ethical fact about acceptin back a player that apparently cheated in the past (I wasn't there when it happened so my opinion about this situation stops here). Jorge however was, ultimately, never caught cheating.

As April and Mick have already pointed out, the videos in question are without a doubt legitimate. However, Fenner HAS been caught cheating in the past, which is why the sites opinion (or at least the SMK and MKSC site's opinions) have been to just forthright not allow Fenner on the players page.

Regardless of the site administration's (Tom's) opinion, I honestly do believe that we should allow Fenner to compete on the MKSC Player's Page, but under a less lenient ruling in that we need video proof instead of the usual rule of player word (Fenner's word = invalidated as far as I'm concerned) with videos for only WR level times. I have no problems at all allowing Fenner's times that are proven via video so long as we can see the time at the end and console being played on clearly.

But hey, I'm not important enough in the MK community to be able to sway Tom's opinion on that. Just figured I'd post my opinion on it either way.  Smiley

The difference between you and Fenner, however, is that no one's accused you of cheating, while it was proven that he did, in fact, cheat previously, which earned him his ban. He should have thought that out when he chose to be that stupid.

Anyway, I won't be back around again most likely until Monday afternoon (I may be around in the morning, but am driving to TN to see my boyfriend), but if Fenner would like, he can do it live for me on Skype, or he may do it with another staff member on Skype or something if someone else wants to do it. The point is that he needs to actually do this live rather than record it, in order for me to have any clear conscience on adding him whatsoever (and I will not guarantee that he'll even be readded, because Tom also has a say on this), but if he is really serious, I'm game for watching a few runs on Skype.

Fenner, unless you are willing to either get Skype (or some kind of means to do an actual live stream, not this recorded YouTube shit...if not Skype, then Ustream/BlogTV/something like that), or play live in person for someone, I will not even remotely consider voting to let you on. What the fuck makes you think that videos are going to work as "legit" for someone who has cheated before? I'm not speaking for Tom here, but from my end of things, a video won't work for you. If Jorge was required to live stream to be allowed onto the MKW site, then that should be the absolute minimum for you, not that I believe you should even be let back on after the stupid shit you did.

Also, what is with all the excuses about not live streaming/meeting up with Shock? If you were really serious about it, you'd do one or the other. At this point I just think you're doing this to fuck with people and get a bandwagon together to believe your sad story of "oh, the MKSC staff won't unban me" in hopes that a bandwagon can convince us to let you on without live proof. Doesn't work that way. Go cry your river elsewhere if you're not going to do as asked.

I don't see why he shouldn't be allowed back. Were it not for his "strange" posts at times, everyone would give him another chance. People have cheated before, and been allowed back, although I'm not fully aware as to the extent of Fenner's cheating.

Create a poll? April just said public opinion doesn't matter. Rather, judgments should be based on some kind of solid standard.

Right now I agree with April; I trust your times as pretty legitimate, but if you want to join the site you need to play live via Skype or some other similar service. I of course will state again that I would like to meet you, and I think we could have a fun time with it too.

Right now though, I am very uncomfortable with your wheedling out of every situation when it pops up. Coming up with reasons why you can't do it.

Another thing: I find it very suspicious that you got a WR on your first try as you turned on the DS. I don't care legitimate it looked, pulling off a stunt like that is like finding the winning lottery ticket in a garbage dump.

tl;dr: I would not add Fenner back to the Player's Page until he does a live gaming session for a staff member.

Edit: Well, if you're going to make a poll anyway, add "Yes, if he plays live" as an option.

This is a link for the skype download on Windows: http://www.skype.com/intl/en/get-skype/on-your-computer/windows/premium

Here it is for Macs: http://www.skype.com/intl/en/get-skype/on-your-computer/macosx/

It's pretty straightforward. Hit the blue button that says download, and set up your account. If you can get an account activated on this board, you can definitely do it for Skype. (I found the activation here to be quite more challenging.. lol)

Once you do that, it's really easy to make calls and live stream for people. Since you have a camera, once on skype you should easily be able to change the output setting to your camera once you hook it into your computer, if you don't have a Web Camera built in.

Agreed. It looks like you have a webcam that works Fenner. I hope to see a live stream from you soon.
