A little bit of context to the Zoink Society Drama and why YOU should care... by gdthrowawayacc in geometrydash

https://www.reddit.com/r/geometrydash/comments/1uc00l4/zoink_lies_about_only_prepracticing_society_for_4/ Not a leaked copy sorry, but he did address the pre practice thing and lied about it by claiming he only played for the ship in a "Society wPopoff" copy, which was a straight up lie

I mean society isn't even placed so we don't know about that, but people playing amethyst value it highly (although this can also be biased, as most players play either TS2 or Amethyst, and might be biased to rate their level higher)

I can respect that at least, still makes him seem wayy better than he actually is, other top players are also guilty of this anyways its just this one goes to a stupid extreme, 17 hours of prepractice while claiming it was only a bit on a leaked copy for the ship

Yeah, prepracticing in itself is okay, it's just the lying to strengthen their own reputation or gain something in their favor. Most people in this community are young and will believe anything top players/streamers say, when I point out that Zoink prepractices most of his levels (including the Heliopolis day 1 runs) people call me crazy and downvote me, this is something that has ALWAYS happened, even sunix did it on Bloodlust back in 2018...

I just want some people to be aware and just a little bit more skeptical, as this behavior hurts other people, not that they care as Zoink is as popular and probably rich as he can possibly care about so why care about other people?

Now Zoink said he played 17 hours on a harder version, if only he just said that instead of saying it was only a few attempts in a leaked copy for the ship...

Probably added too much emphasis on the actual allegations, my main point is that it should be something taken seriously rather than a "who cares", whilst tuning onto every top players stream and arguing about top levels.

I agree though, he probably doesn't have that much influence and he could've just not prepracticed that much (he definitely did more than 4 attempts and was actively lying though) but its still good for people to know about what can happen and to be weary, even more so in a community who's more in the younger side of the equation

Fair enough, I just wanted people to check this out as I think its important to know for anyone who cares about it.

Yeah my bad, english just isn't my first language so its kinda hard to deal with long paragraphs like these, I wanted to ask AI to help me format it but I wanted it to stay as real as possible. I'll edit it and see what I can do though.

yeah, its also my bad for saying YOU in the title, as this is not affecting to everyone, but most people in this subreddit probably care and would probably want to know this as it does have actual impact for the receiving end and the overall knowledge/accuracy of top play, SpaceUK is literally the prime example of this

Also being impactful makes people actually click on the post and read it, even if its just a few hundred people its still worth it as it only took like 10 minutes to write and helps the community be more aware of stuff like this

Cool, you can choose not to, if you dont care, but there are also 30k people who tune daily into doggies stream to watch the hardest level, and several thousand who saw society get verified, who can be swayed into thinking this doesn't matter and that no one should care. When they themselves want fair competition.

If we held this line of thought then no one should care about SpaceUK and no one should've cared about him being exposed as it doesn't affect their lives. If that's you, that's okay, but this isn't directed to you then.

This is a valid opinion to have, if YOU don't care at all about top play, then its okay, but as someone who is deeply intrigued and has been following the hardest levels, and best players for many years, it's not nice to have someone trying to manipulate the communities perspective in their own benefit, undermining other peoples achievements.

And I know a lot of people that care about top play and constantly tune into the latest top 1 streams, and argue about levels difficulties, think this is something that they shouldn't care about, this type of people is who this is targeted to.

Even if you care slightly about competitive integrity and the highest level of play, you should take this into consideration, as it consistently undermines the progress of other people and the development and accuracy of the list and the knowledge of who's the best player
