I began typing this response thinking I was going 2 challenge your opinion. As I typed this, I realised my opinion might not make sense, (I disagree with my first opinion possibly). I am too confused. Not sure what I think entirely and I talk a lot of irrelevant stuff trying 2 stay on topic. Just letting people know they might not want 2 read what I said. I am trying 2 contribute my opinions on what's fair but am learning, I don't know enough.

Not sure if u r recommending the community uses ghosts when proving PRs or recommending it b mandatory for proofs of PRs use ghosts. Not sure.

I can't race my ghosts and get new PRs simultaneously. I can video prove future PRs raced in 50Hz without ghost data. I feel WAY TOO MUCH pressure seeing my own ghost race me and it messes me up big TIME.

I am ranked #292 in AnyHz so competitors might not care about seeing proof from me anyway.

But ghosts really mess me up when I race them. Too much pressure. I can't focus. Plus racing with or without ghosts is possible with vanilla version of the game so no wrong is done by competitors without ghosts in their proof videos. The vanilla game doesn't require ghosts b used and proof can still b good without ghosts. Not that I know much about proof standards. I just make proof regularly 4 my scores in different games.

Not sure if u r suggesting ghosts r a good idea or if u r suggesting, ghosts b mandatory 4 proof, (I have interpretation limitations). I don't think ghosts should b mandatory 2 b used in videos. This is because the vanilla game let's u turn them off and u can prove scores without them.

In honesty, there's a problem with my argument.

I recommend the site makes video proof use the game's audio without any hacks 2 the audio but that messes up other competitors, not me. Where as, I don't wanna use ghosts 2 prove my PRs because ghosts mess me up. It sounds like ghosts help verify PRs. If I am 2 argue, competitors should play with the game's unmodified audio being heard in the video proof, I understand people expecting people 2 use ghosts in their video proof 4 better proof in both cases.

I am ranked #292 in AnyHz so might not b an issue 4 me having 2 video prove my scores racing my own ghost.

If it wasn't 4 audio messing up some competitors and my own ghosts messing me up as well, I'd definitely argue ghosts shouldn't b mandatory 4 proof and the proper unmodified audio should b mandatory. But both volume and ghosts can b utiilised or not in the vanilla version so I have no arguement.

Perhaps I won't have 2 prove my PRs with ghosts due 2 my ranking in the future because it won't get too much better than it already is. I can still improve a moderate amount but not that much more. No huge jump 2 overall Titan or anything of that nature. I have used a lot of my potential already.

Really, if playing vanilla MKDD!! ghosts and audio can BOTH assist in detecting whether video proof is real or fake PRs than they should probably both b mandatory 4 people required 2 prove their scores BOTH ghosts and audio within the vanilla version.

I don't want 2 pretend 2 know much as I really don't. I keep talking my opinions down due 2 lack of expertise. Just being honest. All these hacks I've never used or heard of until recently and am learning about the impacts 4 the first time ever. Too many complications 4 me 2 b confident in my arguments on this topic.

Thanks 4 clarifying what u meant.

I have interpretation difficulties from my condition, High Functioning Autism.

Yeah, saving ghosts is very easy if u have adequate memory in your memory card which I'd assume a lot of us do.

The rest of this post is very irrelevant 2 the topic. I am just trying 2 say that I don't have 50Hz ghosts because I didn't know they could help me verify my PRs so I never bothered saving them unfortunately again it's very irrelevant the rest of this, (my words down below). Not on purpose, I struggle 2 know how relevant things r 2 topics discussed.

Eventhough I have more than enough blocks of memory, (past and present) 4 some reason, (I don't remember why as it was WAY BACK in 2011,) I decided 2 save my TT ghosts in 60Hz but not 50Hz.

I don't know why I decided 2 do this, (save my 60Hz ghosts and not my 50Hz ghosts) but, I didn't think it was important 4 me 2 save any of my ghosts just all my PRs in both categories I thought was necessary 2 save to two different memory cards. 4 some reason I saved my 60Hz ghosts but not 50Hz ghosts.

Also, I decided not 2 save my best 60Hz 7lap PR as a ghost, I don't remember why as it was ages ago. Like many, many, many years ago.

Plus more recently, the minority of my 60Hz ghosts have the wrong date on them. I think they r Rainbow Road and DK Mountain. I purchased a second hand GameCube, forgot 2 set the date on it b4 playing games on it. So a minority of my ghosts have the wrong date. Again my Baby Park ghost is worse than my 60Hz PR.

I don't know how 2 communicate or socialise. I don't mean 2 b inconsiderate or rude by providing long irrelevant words. Sorry if I was rude or inconsiderate.

here i decided to make this, submit to your heart's content!

i don't think many players will be super interested in sending in their ghosts, but i'll leave this here just in case

Edit: fuck, not sure why the link won't format properly whatever you can figure it out lol

Actually Robert, the link’s https://mkdd-ghost-database.webnode.co.uk/ The setup’s so confusing Andy. Could you make it simpler ‘cause I’m not into this techy sort.

I have no idea what you’re talking about...

OK, that makes much more sense now.
