I hope he's grown up since then and if he continues to submit runs to the CTGP, eventually reaches out/apologizes to us here or on discord or whatever.
This aged well
Wow alex called this post lol. My RR is definitely a time that im proud of even today. Maybe I will try to improve it at some point! I will continue to use CTGP at all times.
RosscoXz wrote on 02/09/19 at 02:40:34:Hi Jorge,
I remember when I found out that yourself, Jay Batten, Mander etc had all been cheating I was super angry, not only for the game itself, but for people who for months were trying to compete with cheaters, Nick in particular.
This was, what? Eight years ago now? I think that is plenty of time to see sense and realise that what you did was in poor taste (some people get less time for murder

). I know that I did a lot
of things that long ago that makes my skin crawl to think about today.
I am really happy that you are back playing again, you obviously were/are a massive talent and, despite your tainted history, you were one of the best players to ever touch the game. That Rainbow Road time always springs to mind when I think of legendary WRs.
I’m not sure what the likelihood is of the players’ page accepting you back, understandably, but obviously MKLeaderboards and (probably) MKWRS will accept your times if they are 100% legit.
Hope you’ve been doing well
Thanks for the kind words Rossco! Yeah that Rainbow Road WR will always be a special time for me. Retty pushed me very hard there and I was very happy to get the sub 2:28 before him at the time. I completely understand the PPs policy regarding cheaters and I don't expect to be added to the site.
[/quote] King Alex you fucking called it

Also inb4 someone calls you a dick or something
But seriously dude, great job opening up- I can't imagine how hard it was to write something like this. I know most people won't accept your apology but I do (considering I've done like 3 posts here and have lurked here for a year idk if that means much). I know we have banned former cheaters, but MKL hasn't, and now you're ww 10 on KC !! Congrats, as people have noted, use your raw talent to go for more

If you think 7 years is too late, well... it is, but the fact that you apologized in the first place is awesome dude. I'm looking forward to your streams

Also I'd like to apologize for calling you an asshole the other day :/ [/quote]
Thanks a lot man! I will keep trying to improve on KC! Also no worries about calling me an asshole, I completely understand lol.

Where have you been all this time?
Tomas! Bueno verte! Tanto tiempo que no hemos hablado. I played some Mario Kart 64 on and off for the past years, but now im back and hoping to get some good times here!
ZedR wrote on 02/09/19 at 04:16:55:Welcome back.
Its great to see you back but we already talked about this in our TT discord and everyone welcomed you kindly!
As for the PP. Dont mind any comments by these idiots who spread negativity and try to make you down. You apologized, had a talk with us and you play on ctgp - showing us your true skill and that cheating was unnecessary.
Everybody does bad things and whoever still rejects the fact that someone grows mentally and can change is totally stupid. You will have to face these kind of people on the players page as you can see they still dont accept legit times on their leaderboards which is very sad. But I think we cant Change this.
Therefore we have the more important charts on CTGP and more accurate charts on MKL. We also have our discord were you are already in compete with us. You are great and other should accept this aswell. If not their opinion doesnt matter anyways and they are ignorant individuals. those who were really hurt should not let their negative emotion take over here. Acceptance is a beautiful thing for someone who know he changed and wants to make things better so give them the chance.
As for other former cheaters you should do the same. Jay also started playing again and could apologize about things.
Thank you Zedr, you and everyone in the discord TT server have been very kind and supportive to me and I want to thank you for reaching out to me about the TT discord. I think the PP's rules regarding cheaters is completely understandable and I dont think I should be added back. Im very thankful that CTGP exists and that I can submit my times in those leaderboards.
Aruba wrote on 02/09/19 at 06:26:23:Long time no see! Huge kudos for the apology. It takes a high level of maturity to do so and is very relieving to see as well. Thank you, brother.
I will always support you in whatever you do. I don't forget the people that I came up with in this game. I still remember the 4* tag on your SGB WW tops back in the golden days.

See you around on discord.

Much love!
Aruba
Hey man! Great to see you dude! I have very fond memories of those 4* days with you. Thank you so much for your kind words <3 Hope to catch up some more in Discord! Much love to you too.
Zachruff wrote on 02/09/19 at 08:04:53:Im glad that you apologised, and yeah imo CTGP + Streaming is more than enough to prove legitimacy.
Thanks Zachruff! Im glad that CTGP exists these days.
InnovΔ wrote on 02/09/19 at 09:03:23:Glad to see that this is just a thing of the past. It'll be interesting to see how you compete with today's players. GL and Umi best girl
Hey my fellow Umi fan! I will try my best to compete, players are so strong and consistent these days lol. Thank you!
JawsTheShark wrote on 02/09/19 at 09:17:31:An insincere apology and it's as if it never happened or he isn't a permanently listed cheating coward. You guys have no social awareness. An apology is deflection of attention bound with attempting to pull at the human emotion of: sympathy.
Once you cheat, it's over forever!!
It's easy to apologize when so many dense people are willing to overlook anything for it.
Apologies don't change anything anyway.
Means NOTHING.
Here's the company phrase for anyone "returning" after being caught:
"I cheated before. I do not right now. It's 100% obvious why anyone would think I'm lying right now. Take it as you do."
You are right that apologies do not change all the bad things that I did to this community. And I completely understand your mentality with regards to cheating.
MKchouy93 wrote on 02/09/19 at 11:11:06:I'll just repeat what I said on discord but I think it's cool to have you back in the community again. I'm sure lots of the Allstars guys would find it fun to talk again (I have all of their discords if you want to talk to any of them) and I think most people don't have any hard feelings for ya especially have 8 years

But I also think it would be really silly to count any of your new times even if they're set on CTGP. I'm completely confident any of your runs set on CTGP would be legit but that's not the point. The rules were very clear about perma bans and honestly this constant bending of the rules for players just looks bad on the game as a speedrunner.
Cheaters benefiting off the luxuries of CTGP to be legitimized again is a blow in the face to Bean and the legitimate players who supported Bean in rebuilding the game and community after the "purge" by Cole. Not one of the people caught cheating stuck around to help the game at all; it just died.
Not to say you shouldn't use CTGP; the more people on it the better. Just as far as counting TTs goes. The only reason I went in depth about this is because we've seen Jay Batten back on CTGP too so might as well get this out of the way now. I just wanted to say that.
I hope you're doing well and maybe one of these days we can all play wifi and catch up.
Hey Chouy! Like i said on discord, I would love to catch up with you and everyone from allstars. Those were really fun times playing with all of you on Wifi and I would love to play some wifi with everyone again! I think you bring up a very good point about how allowing cheaters back is a blow in the face to Bean and everyone that worked hard on CTGP. I know that some sites have decided to allow my CTGP times, but regardless I don't think the PP should bend their rules regarding cheaters.
