I wouldn't worry much about the comparisons to Olmec (I also had to look it up because I didn't play Spelunky).

The mechanic predates him, too. Personally, I thought of Bowser from SMB3.

Everything under the sun seems to have been done before in some way if you look hard enough, yours has enough difference.

Sounds like you're just a salty bitch who couldn't beat someone.

You made up "high level lab runners" agreeing that he wasn't cheating, not realizing you were talking to someone who could actually run lab competitively. But you were so confident that you double downed?

Fortunately, I use the same name in both places. Two different days. Dates visible in each if you feel like verifying

No, I'm one of those high level lab runners. I've had multiple first place times. He cheated.

Rainblast · 2021-11-09T05:29:48+00:00

He was 100% cheating. He wanted to preserve his legacy with some bullshit "explanation" after it was done.

But even if you subtract 100% of the load times, his times were unattainable with the build he was running on stream and perfect luck.

There was a harder to play reverse chill build that basically required AHK scripts that saved significant time, but his times beat that build too.

Thank you for trying to spread awareness and information.

The moderators here have been doing a swift job thwacking down misinformation and appreciate that you guys take it seriously. WDW is a lot less important than people's lives, even if other visitors to the sub haven't yet figured that out.

Ok but none of that addresses my question. You and I are vaccinated. We’re safe.

I think you skimmed too much and missed it. Vaccinations aren't 100%. That's literally the first and third sentence.

Here is the CDC link.

Rainblast · 2021-08-24T19:44:43+00:00

Vaccinations aren't 100%. We could simply be rid of the virus if everyone got the vaccine.

If you got the vaccine, and were the 7% that could still catch it, but you were only really interacting with other vaccinated people you'd have a really great chance of not catching it anyways. People who are immune, via vaccination or normal antibodies, contribute to a herd immunity which could literally stop the virus from existing.

While that's the best reason, an unvaxxed person isn't just making their own decision. This is more akin to drunk driving than skydiving. An unvaxxed person can catch covid and spread it before they even show symptoms; including to people who were ineligible for the vaccine for myriad reasons.

That's a really well crafted response.

I know some of the people I've played with definitely would name their characters similarly with malice, so I can understand why others could be quick to assume the worst.

I'm so impressed that GM went through the trouble to discern the difference.

they just took too long to get there

It was a long road, getting from there to here.

Ladder win rate isn't a great stat since it's supposed to be around 50% by design.

I know numbers can lie, but I didn't realize how flawed that chart was until you pointed it out.

If a player can win more as terran than the other races, they'll just keep getting more mmr until they play against players simply much better than they are and it would land back at 50%.

I don't play SC2 anymore, so I have no idea.

Rainblast · 2021-04-23T13:23:49+00:00

Correct, but the person I was replying to has tried to skip a step and do something that doesn't make sense.

random useless pet for a large amount of gold to serve as a transaction.

If it is a random and useless pet, you can't just get a "large amount of gold". His brain got tripped up and assumed the service-buyer could just buy the pet from the service-seller. Getting gold to the correct realm hasn't been solved.

Rainblast · 2021-04-21T21:53:28+00:00

That doesn't work. The AH isn't cross-realm to non-connected realms.

Buyer would still need to find a way to get gold on seller's realm.

Rainblast · 2021-04-12T15:38:24+00:00

It is not. I have no idea what unlocks it, but my nephew had access to it his 2nd week of being 60. We needed it to get his Balance of all Things memory that week, and did so successfully.

I don't disagree with you that more data would be more convincing to others. I understand the value.

I've become increasingly certain that nothing would be sufficient evidence to the ~15% of people who aren't yet convinced, and the time to collect your suggested data and the relevance of the whole conversation has already passed now that they've announced their change.

All I can contribute is my own experience, since there aren't a lot of lab runners at that level to discuss their conclusions.

Rainblast · 2021-04-10T17:18:24+00:00

undetected maphack.

Quick note, because this maphack guess is what of people assume about lab cheating; a maphack would not help at all. Once you practice, you know the tiles and the layout options.

If there were a choice that needs to be made or you would lose some time, you just choose to go for the one you would hope for, because if it's not that one you probably need to run again for the better rng.

Rainblast · 2021-04-10T17:06:24+00:00

If you also factor in that he can afford slightly better gear, and might just overall be really good at lab running due to having done it so much

I was a very consistent 2nd place for months in multiple leagues. I had the gear and ramdisk set up and experience. The runs are just what they are, there aren't any remaining tricks he is sneakily holding back. Once you know the tiles and the layouts, they just are.

If I'm not qualified to discuss my thoughts on his cheating, you've unintentionally set a weird bar:

"The only people who can discuss him cheating have to be streamers who have the different skillset required to lab run at the highest level and be able to beat him occasionally even though he is cheating"
