About Terrence Fenner and the site.
06/21/11 at 12:45:55
 
Okay guys, I can fully understand if you do not like Fenner(I don't really like him myself), but his behaviour should have nothing to do with the judgement of his skills or achievements or even the site.

Some people saying that "the site loses its credibility" or things like that are not necessary. They are not only insulting him, but also everyone who's working for the site or has done something for it.

Fenner has streamed life, with no room for doubts. If you have a problem with that, I can't understand you. The proof is undeniable(how would you want to fake that?), and he's hopefully going to meet up somewhen with Shock so we know even more about him. He has cheated some times in the past, but it seems that he is legit now and if Tom lets him get back on the site, everyone should accept this and not post such bullshit.

I can not imagine how much work for example Tom or the other Admins have put in the site, reading such words must hurt. I don't know if they are bothered because of it, but I fucking am because such people are not even better than Fenner with his attitude. He has gotten his last chance, and we should trust him now as long as there is no proof for the contrary. I'm not sayig don't insult him if he does stupid things or spam or shit, but keep it with that and don't put in things that don't belong there.

Sorry if I'm making a big deal out of some small things, but I felt like I had to say this now.

Unfortunately, regarding Fenner, I don't think we should be satisfied with words like "it seems that" Tongue

Same here. I can't rely on sentences like "he's going to do something with someone somewhen". There is no live stream which can ever convince me, as far as Terrence is concerned. He's so used to computers for years so I would never trust anything computer-related in his case.



It might not change anything, but I have to ask for a full removal of my set of times until:

1) Terrence gets removed from the MKSC site

or

2) Terrence gets proven (by meeting a trusted and high skilled member, and setting WRs live in front of him - it shouldn't be that hard, considering he sets like 67913 WRs per day Smiley)


Sorry about that, but I just feel that I can't stay on the site with him making fun of us Undecided Claiming that he'll beat the RR 3-laps WR with one hand in his pants, for instance (I mean, who else than a cheater would be so confident to beat such a WR in a near future ?).

I'm done, and it's my final decision.

Stacy Needham, NStride and I have all seen him do live stream. This includes SHOWING the game cartridge, showing him put it in, having him take course requests from us, and seeing him hit incredible times, seemingly with ease. If you want to be stubborn and ignorant, saying things like "I want my times removed until he is removed or does a session with another person", then go ahead and remove your times for a completely retarded reason; nobody cares. Before anyone tries to say anything along the lines of "You don't know about this guy's past", I know his past just as well as any person who has been on this board for years.

As far as his childish remarks, some people are just more immature than others, and if you think that Fenner has the computer know-how to fake a live stream and perfectly predict every track that we wanted him to stream, then you're absolutely kidding yourself.

True, but there are ways of cheating that aren't easily known to most players. The people concerned about the integrity of the site could see something that almost no one else here would catch.

Anyway, most of my thoughts are in the other thread, so I'll stop from repeating myself, but the way I see it, both sides have at least somewhat of a fair argument, and it's obvious something needs to at least be looked into at this point, which is what I'm in the process of doing. I think that no matter what side you're on, everyone has the right to feel however they like about Fenner and his role on the site as of right now, and so far, every opinion I've heard is plausible, for and against his presence on the site. It is quite possible that I will ask for additional proof, so hopefully he will choose to take these credibility issues seriously and prove himself beyond a reasonable doubt.

I remember seeing a video of a live straming here and it was absolutely not convincing for me.

I have to tell something about MKSC players, but last year, we had a SMK player who was suspected of cheating, and despite a live streaming pretty convincing (more convincing than the one I saw about Terrence), he was removed of the SMK Player's site...

So you have to understand why I'm still really doubtful about Terrence. Everything is "fakeable" on a video, and only a live meeting with a trusted MK member can solve my doubts now.

That's not because you are playing good, or even really good, that you can't cheat a bit to ease yourself and get up a little faster.
Recently we had the case of Daniel on MKWii, which was suspected of setting many great PR's in a short time span, despite this guy having set live streaming and achieved close to WR level runs on one specific track (I was there). So he was asked to do more live streaming again of various tracks to clean up his case.
To my knowledge, Terrence did not set any PR's not live stream. However, the awkward position he had to take to play makes the possibility of a new WR very hard to happen (I cannot do shit in such conditions). But still, I wanted to see more than that, as we could barely see the in-game screen. Undecided

From what I've seen so far, I lean towards more of the legit side of all his recent PR's, and I do not have arguments to put him out of the site again, but I totally see how you can be so doubtful about his times.

No you don't, just like 90% of the posters at the MKSC boards, me included. Only the veterans have acknowledge the time were Fenner was banned at first. They are more able to judge how he could possibly cheat as they are way more experienced than us.

Just to clarify, this is my current stance on this. I'm giving Fenner benefit of the doubt based on his recent mass video uploading and live streaming. Even for the live streaming, people need to realize that Fenner was not driving the same levels of times as he has in his actual records. They were close enough to remove some doubt, but for people to honestly believe him, there needs to be 100% irrefutable proof that the times are real, such as a highly trusted player going to see him play in person.

Do you know why Fenner is banned on every single players page site he has been on? He has been caught in multiple games (and no, people are NOT going to disclose the reasons to you, because these reasons are some of the only ways we can catch cheaters) cheating, and the proof was 100%. He was caught in MKSC, in SMK, and even iirc in MK64 (might need correction on this one) and each time he 100% denied it. The people saying they want Fenner off the site (Seb, Neo, Pierre) or Frozen (Myself, a few other players I'm not going to disclose names of) have very, VERY valid reasons.

Also, not to hate on the people who are newer on this site, but you have to realize that the people who are hesitant about Fenner are people who have been around either the players page or forums for years longer. I competed in MK64 as far back as 1998, and players like Seb, Neo, and Pierre have been around in SMK for ages. We've ALL seen cheating, and the way that we used to deal with cheating (and still should in my honest opinion) was basically freeze the player, ask for proof, and if none could be provided, remove the player from the site; no second chance (Exception: Hab Trio, as the times were technically legit). As Fenner has cheated in the past, many of us don't want to see him back.

Fenner is lucky to even be getting a second chance on the MKSC players page, and he's only getting it as he now shows traits of a legit player (videos/streaming/etc.). I get the honest feeling that the newer players here (recent MKDS players / all MKW players that hadn't played a kart game before) don't realize just how damn lucky Fenner is to get a second chance, and that we're being harsh about this for a damn good reason.

Well, I guess the only solution to this is to finally clear all doubts and make Fenner meet Shock.

If you read this Terrence (and Shock), please try to get in contact and meet each other for a personal meet. Otherwise I can't see how to clear you 100% and people to believe you. If you are legit, it should not be any problem for you to do this.

Tom gave you your last chance Fenner, and I think you're legit so I'm on your side for this, but I can't help you with gaining more respect and your times being seen as something good.

Also, this is nothing official but only my own opinion, but I want the site to be regarded as good as the other sites, so I suppose getting this done quickly would help every side.

It was regarded as you hope until that stupid decision was made. I still can't understand why the hell Terrence was given what is not a second chance at all but a 51514155438644344th chance after all those years.

As far as I'm concerned, I eventually decided to send a fullset of PRs and to improve them week by week because of the feeling it was a nice community and because I loved the game. Guess why I suddenly stopped playing it and sending PRs while I was really thinking about getting more and more involved into that game and its specific community.

I have not done this decision and I cannot undo it, but nor can everyone else; except the authorities of the site of course. Fact is that he was allowed back by Tom and that he is on the site now, bitching about it all the time won't help either side, we are still waiting for him to meet Shock since I think it was one condition for him if he wants to get on the site again. It would be nice though if there were some official statements, of which this site has too less anyway.

Excuse my ignorance, but who is Shock and why would he be the right person for the job?

If he's the one that is going to validate Terrence, I want to know beforehand so I can make some suggestions to him per PM.

Shock (Andy Lundeen) is a MKSC and MKW player that lives in the same town than Terrence. Also formerly a moderator on the MKW section (as a test I believe, but I don't know the whole story...)

You don't get it Fenner, Live stream won't be enough if you look in the future, you have to meet up with Shock or any other trusted player to remove all doubts. It's been said often enough.

It's hard...but I'll see what I can do.
My skype FennerGuy is locked and so, I'm going to get another Skype account in the future.  If I was removed on the MKSC page again, I'll regret it all :'(  and I let you people down because of it...and I certainly don't want to do that...I got your point btw...I must meet someone near me.  Andy is probably the closest one because he's near Charlotte, NC Smiley  I'll contact him or Shock (if he's close), I may take a breather on MKSC because most of my PRs (except for BC2 & RVL2) are a tad maxed...

and just as a reminder, what are the courses for me to show Shock?  Smiley

I'll post when I've made a decision on how to handle this (probably today or tomorrow), so let's not lead Fenner to conclusions (suggestions on how this should be handled are welcome, but telling him what he "has" to do at this point are not), although I think he has an idea at least to how serious this is.

Asking for a complete removal of your times is retarded (this goes for everyone so far that requested this). Obviously Tom believes Fenner is legit if he allowed him back on the site, and from what I know several top players have seen him stream live (I know Shock has definitely). I don't play this game, and I certainly don't know exactly what cheating Fenner has done in the past, but what the fuck is boycotting the site by asking for your times to be removed going to do? It's like preschool shit, grow up.

I'm not gonna argue this because I don't know the whole Fenner story, but I think this times removal shit is stupid. I don't know about faking MKSC videos but I've seen most of his WR runs and I think they would be pretty hard to fake.

Just my two cents.
