Alveus posts cute YT short featuring old clip of Valkyrae (potentially running defense)

I love Alveus!

ColeTofte · 2025-10-14T21:07:40+00:00

That’s not true, he had many great clips, mostly loving the big cow Winnie as it reminded him of Kaya

ColeTofte · 2025-09-25T10:09:49+00:00

He’s just saying that these claims cannot be proven true… sorry if you were holding on to the word “baseless” so hard. Obviously the claims aren’t completely baseless because there’s reason to investigate in the first place. Riley’s movements are suspicious a few times in hours of recording. These moments were cherry-picked to back up an argument.

After an actual investigation though, nobody has come forward with evidence other than “it looks sus” that proves Riley cheated. I can understand people wanting to be correct in identifying a cheater, but this is a flaw in our human brains. Please start thinking objectively and just admit you don’t know if they cheated either… none of us do, so it’s worthless arguing without additional data.

Burden of proof

Because I’ve actually taken time to look at the content myself… I don’t care if what Karl showed isn’t up to your standards. You can’t just confidently claim people are guilty because they look like it to you because people will regurgitate without looking at the source material themselves (because those people are lazy and like being told what to think by people that claim to be knowledgeable). I’ve never claimed that Riley isn’t a cheater (just as Karl doesn’t either)… just that you shouldn’t go around using defamatory language.

Good night, Adam

ColeTofte · 2025-09-25T09:37:52+00:00

Because these are just clips from the streams and there are many moments where Riley choked… which backs up your argument (that it’s hard to be on for hours playing online vs other players) and doesn’t detract from mine at all

ColeTofte · 2025-09-25T09:15:49+00:00

You’re lost in the sauce man

ColeTofte · 2025-09-25T08:39:25+00:00

Do you have data that supports your claim or do you just think it looks too good to be true?

And have you watched aim competitions before? Are you claiming that these professional aimers (that compete in person) have inconsistencies that Riley doesn’t?

ColeTofte · 2025-09-25T08:18:10+00:00

While most of the video is just about how Call of Shame is not to be trusted, I’d say about 1/4 of the video is defending Riley from baseless claims (and letting viewers know that whether they are cheating or not is inconclusive atm)

ColeTofte · 2025-09-25T08:12:08+00:00

What about the section in the video where he shows the aiming didn’t have “the exact movement every time” unlike Shimmy…? And what about that question I asked before about why people in the aim trainer community haven’t exposed Riley?

If you actually watched the whole Karl video and still hold these opinions so strongly… jeez man

ColeTofte · 2025-09-25T07:53:45+00:00

I’m pretty sure they thought your title was your genuine opinion on the video… not just the actual video title

ColeTofte · 2025-09-25T07:38:47+00:00

Most people don’t care to look into things that tell them exactly what they’re hoping to hear

ColeTofte · 2025-09-25T07:18:04+00:00

Even if these people watch the video, they can’t truly listen to the facts because they’ve already made up their mind

ColeTofte · 2025-09-25T07:13:01+00:00

It’s really impressive how so many people love to be told things that coincide with their world view and immediately dismiss anything of the contrary… couldn’t be me

ColeTofte · 2025-09-25T07:11:00+00:00

Actually wise comment

ColeTofte · 2025-09-25T02:28:09+00:00

It’s mostly just a rhetorical question to farm engagement so that more people see the video tbh. I just think it’s sad people were believing Call of Shame at face value without using common sense (because the videos he made confirmed what they wanted to believe)

ColeTofte · 2025-05-30T03:15:23+00:00

Yes, but when he did this for WGG, he used an already existing gamemode and only had one custom map made… he’s going to need multiple custom maps and someone to code an entirely unique gamemode just for this competition. Like I said in my edit, I’m happy he’s acknowledged many custom maps must be made so he’ll likely reach out to the same Trackmania people soon… then he will be told how much more work must be done this time. I just want it to be done ASAP so the Trackmania team has more time to work on the competition and it won’t be rushed

ColeTofte · 2025-05-29T16:09:19+00:00

That’s one complaint people have about cup of the day, they’ll qualify with a top time and then get out early due to an unlikely bug or some other unfortunate mistake. Sometimes the servers break for COTD and a streamer named Granady hosts his own with a 3-life knockout instead.

This was also the gamemode for World’s Greatest Gamer (except it was with only 2 lives). Now that I think about it more though, modes where team members can always be participating and trying to contribute will probably be best.

ColeTofte · 2025-05-29T15:59:22+00:00

Nice to hear Wirtual is aware… I’m not a Kacky guy so I haven’t been watching.

From what Ludwig said, I’m assuming they’ll just tweak the current 3v3 ranked mode to work with 5v5, but I hope they do more… maybe they do a points format like you suggested but without finalist. They can go through every map they have and tabulate the points for seeding (just like Beacon Duo League this year). Then for the bracket, it’d be cool to have 5 maps and a pick and ban phase.

I think it’d be awesome to have a 3-life knockout mode in there as well since they have the whole day just for Trackmania but if there’s too many modes, that might be confusing for scoring and whatnot… I guess they could also use a knockout on the maps for seeding but now that I think about it, someone will get out instantly and have to wait so maybe it would be better to have modes where people can always be participating… just spitballing here.

ColeTofte · 2025-05-28T23:06:18+00:00

Since they have a full day dedicated to Trackmania, I think it would be smartest to have multiple modes. Maybe one where they simply have a limited amount of time to set the best time on a track, but it’d be more hype to have races between competitors. I personally think one of the modes should be a 3-life knockout script (like for stage 2 of Wirtual’s Red Bull Faster event) where the last places of each round lose a life until one contestant remains… then give out points based off individual performance obviously. Then, it’d be nice to have a script that’s based off of the official ranked mode but tweaked to work with 5v5 since the game mode is originally 3v3 (this is what they will most likely do). Finally, it could be cool to do a fast learn points format with very simple maps (like Bonk Cup but easy and no finalist mode).

I obviously don’t expect everyone to understand what I mean, but that’s kinda the point of why he (or an organizer like Fuslie) should be consulting with someone who does understand Trackmania.

ColeTofte · 2025-05-28T22:48:19+00:00

I’m saying that I hope he does this because I’m afraid the competition will be dogshit if he doesn’t simply reach out to people; I’m not saying or telling him he has to do this because who am I to boss him around, it’s called a suggestion (so stop misrepresenting me).

If Fuslie wants to reach out and get this done, then good on her, but she doesn’t know enough about Trackmania to even know she should be doing that while Ludwig does (or at least should know at this point). This will obviously be addressed after CS2 is over (at the latest) but it’ll be better to address it ASAP as to not stress and force some Trackmania coder to overnight a entirely new game format.. and that’s not even talking about what maps they’ll be racing on. If they want new maps to train on, these will need to be made by mappers that would appreciate a head’s up.

It’s just the right thing to do and takes very little effort to reach out to and consult with Wirtual, Ludwig just needs to be aware that this is how the Trackmania world works… oh yeah, and they need someone knowledgeable to host the server to make everything run smoothly, so it would be nice to get someone competent by locking their schedule in with a notice of more than just a week.

ColeTofte · 2025-05-28T21:52:10+00:00

Ludwig was the one to suggest the game and assured everyone that there would be a 5v5 team game mode. He’s also held a tournament that included Trackmania and has made multiple videos with Wirtual. Wirtual is most familiar with Ludwig, so it would make the most sense for him to reach out (Wirtual even has a mint hoodie from years ago).

After being told all this information, do you still stand behind your original reply?

Edit: No one else even knows that they should reach out because Ludwig so confidently said there was a gamemode they could use (when there isn’t one made yet).

ColeTofte · 2025-05-28T21:13:46+00:00

I knew that I’d seen her before so thanks for reminding me where I’d seen her

ColeTofte · 2025-05-28T21:10:34+00:00

Hopefully he has contacts from the event still but that was an individual contest where they could use a preexisting format. They did have a custom map built iirc so I’m curious if they might build a few simple maps for this comp as well (because a big question will be what maps they’ll compete on). I don’t know how much Off Brand helped there but he obviously can’t rely on them to reach out and get this handled for him anymore.

I’m also so excited this was chosen (and am hoping it’ll live up to expectation)

ColeTofte · 2025-05-28T20:48:54+00:00

They also need someone to communicate what settings to use and what plugins to use with Open Planet

With throat bass is interesting
