Setting wrs on other classes like heavy/spy was breaking tempus on a technical level, for example /p menu would just stop working properly and it just so happened newjuls discovered it on stream so pretty much every jumper knew about it. I disabled all course maps with the exception of vertuosic for obvious reasons, but ONE map had to stay active as to not break /p menu further as it didnt function properly if there are 0 courses, I chose vertuosic as it was the hardest to cheat (hard to do as demo and its ddr gimmick as soldier) but that didnt stop TWO people from doing it later anyway. Out of 9 people who were fast enough to perform the glitch, 7 of them were from NA, 2 of the non NA people being newjuls himself and 879m (mod btw).
You're completely missing the point here. Zike brought this up to point out how this started the myth that Americans hate you or something. You used the fact that most Americans were awake at the time of the glitch being found, and thus were the ones to abuse it (for funny reasons), to paint a picture of NA being some bad bad terrible region. Nobody is arguing that the bans weren't warranted.
The reason this was so bad from mazlli's side is because he pretty much blackmailed me into waiting until the video is uploaded, he wouldn't tell how the dev route works or fix it until the video was up which is understandably frustrating.
I don't know if this is a language barrier thing, but I wouldn't call that blackmail. In my opinion, the month ban was a bit harsh for something as simple and as harmless as the dev route, and I think most people feel that while a punishment was warranted, one month was too much.
FIrst of all I'd like to adress the issue of old maps vs new maps, if old maps had some exploit that stayed it doesnt mean its a good example to keep other exploits in new maps. Headbugs on rnc specifically are very easy to get and don't skip 30 secs on ONE level. Devils trick is annoying, I'd personally remove it but it was far too late for that, however devils trick doesnt force you into resetting your entire run if you miss it, the worst thing that happens is that you lose a few seconds being spooked by the ghost. Again you didn't even show what was in the screenshot I sent:
To rephrase what I said there: I don't think a run that forced you to do c2 -> c1 -> c2 makes any sense and what's the point of keeping it for c2 specifically? I fixed it asap so not like I ruined anything that actually required effort at that point. On top of that as I said before it doesnt add anything new to the run, it's the same run with same strats except you have a precise trick to hit which completely ruins your run if you dont resulting in worse quality of runs overall since you get less attempts. You can disagree with this but this is something scotch would've done and hopefully he can confirm that at some point.
Once again you miss the point boshy. Its okay to argue whether or not you think certain skips/strats should be allowed, but its just incredibly obvious that you're biased when it comes to times you have wr on. Such a bias shouldn't allow you to make a impulse decision to instantly patch out and wipe the times with a new strat found. Housebeta cube skip was something that was coveted by anyone who ran that map for a LONG time, waldo found one that honestly wasn't as unreasonable as you make it out to be (certainly more reasonable than 8 jump bugs in a row.....), and since you don't wanna do it, you just wipe and ban the strat (kinda like making those bonuses t0 (after doing when b5)). There should be room for community discussion at LEAST.
Way less precise and I don't hit it first try in wr and it's also an actual jumping skill rather than just precise timing to hit a trigger.
Edgebug in the middle of a map run is certainly at least ARGUABLY on par with the cube skip. The cube skip is honestly not that bad, both zike and waldo got it working with minimal effort or time spent grinding for it. You can also argue that racing against a clock in order to skip the cube is a lot more interesting than, say, i dont know, hitting 8 jump bugs in a row for a bonus record, or grinding for an essentially rng edgebug in the middle of a map run, but i digress.
I had no clue about damer b2 until reero mentioned it on stream and I didn't wipe it after as I was gonna see for myself, which I only had time to do a few days later where I wiped it together with meti's drenched time on an alt. Not sure why a tiny delay in wiping times makes a difference when scotch takes way longer to do these things and something like song situation was up in the air forever and in the end it was me who wiped him anyway. As for adding maps I don't think this is something you can blame me for, I pestered tev to finish the map for a long time and he never did before I decided to not bother with tempus anymore. Whenever I add new maps people shit on half of them (despite me trying to add quality maps) and sometimes they even result in issues like on dahlia which doesnt help, but I'm also just simply not FORCED to add maps (scotch didnt do that for a long time), its free work for no reward.
You're once again missing the point. The damer b2 was mentioned ad nauseum in #admin, with skye even pinging you about it, and yet you ignore. Okay, maybe you muted tempus because youre done with admin and youve publicly stated as such. Its still bad and a sign of extreme bias that while not fulfilling some duties as admin (wiping cheaters, adding maps, checking #admin), you instantly gear into action and wipe a time (that can be argued with its legitimacy), that is on a course with a record you hold.
Another attempt to pretend I didn't say anything, which is simply a lie:
exile couldn't get in touch with us when you decided to remove us and message us through her. I am just disappointed you couldn't talk this through with us instead of having to use exile as a liaison.
In general regarding zike/reero I'd like to say they are extremely fake people, trying to act one way in dms but completely opposite on zike's stream which is the main reason I removed both.
Boshy, I would just like to remind you of all the effort I've went through being a messenger between you and Waldo and trying to get you guys to get along. I would also like to remind you of the literal hours I've spent with you talking about issues you're facing, and that I genuinely was trying to help you out and I was concerned for your health. I implore you to take a second look at zikes stream vod and ask yourself if anything I said on there contradicted anything I have ever said to you in dms, or if I showed any behavior that can be seen as a betrayal or as "fake". The worst I did was have a laugh at how quickly you came in to wipe waldos housebeta time.
