Why does Mirror's 46 need proof?  It's not worth 80 points.
Title: Re: April 2014 Proof Call
Post by: Dark Slayer on May 01, 2014, 08:53:13 pm
People should just tape EVERY 50+ pointer, as "irrel" as they might be. Hell, I'm not playing PD at the moment cause I feel pretty bad about getting 70-something-pointers in webcam quality and this is PD I'm talking about (aka the game "no one cares about").

Btw, Wouter's Caverns 00A 1:38 -> http://www.twitch.tv/w00ter007/c/4014083

Yeah my video is on the ranks. twitch links don't work well in the url section.

I also don't like the auto-playing of videos put in the url section, though I think it only happened with direct links, not sure.

I will update the quality though when my DVDR is full and put it on YT or make a direct link (or both) then too.

You asked for proof of my 67 point time when I got 1:14 Streets. Thiradell is asking for proof of a 78 point time.

People should just tape EVERY 50+ pointer, as "irrel" as they might be.

This.

Mirror is clearly capable of Facility 46

Expert gamer is not clearly capable of Streets 114

stark difference there
Title: Re: April 2014 Proof Call
Post by: ExpertGamer64 on May 02, 2014, 04:09:28 pm
And yet I have video proof and he does not. This is why you don't choose who to proof call. Let Thiradell do what he does and go back to your twitch followers.
Title: Re: April 2014 Proof Call
Post by: OHMSS on May 02, 2014, 04:24:14 pm

Taking the above into account, requiring proof for 46 is a very reasonable action.
Title: Re: April 2014 Proof Call
Post by: AZ on May 02, 2014, 04:49:29 pm
Goose will never be objective.

Basically, the same rules applies for everyone when it comes to proof. If you're skilled or not (already arbitrary) has nothing to do with it. As long as the PR is within the 80 point mark, it should be proven.

I don't get why certain top players/skilled players refuse to release some of their videos. A PR is a PR. And it's not 2003 anymore. If everyone just released all their "reasonably good" PRs we would never have these kinds of disputes ever (this almost looks like another Proof Call test or so - I do hope I'm wrong). But providing videos (and preserving proof) is unfortunately a recurrent issue here within the community. Ironically, highly ranked players tend to treat either proof or video quality like shit (yet they're the ones that should care the most). Oh well, it's your own fault if you get backrolled.

I also agree with OHMSS's points.

All that said, Philip's deadline is in 30 days :) :P

It;s 78 points

Thiradell has never called anything worth below 80 points before

And yes, skill does matter, are you fucking retarded?  If Softman25 came back here and posted Caverns 00A 1:32 with no video would you believe it for one second?  No.  But if Karl posted it you would.  Or again, Karl's Dam 00A 2:03 no video is believable.  If Softman had that ranked, it wouldn't be and we'd want proof.

You two are complete idiots, I am fucking DONE with the elite.  This is why I am playing Mario now.

Stop being so mad and view this matter from an objective standpoint for once, please.

 :kappa: ? Larkin's claimed times were backrolled. Gus Riolo's Frigate Agent 0:25 was also backrolled. etc etc

You're a 60/60 player yourself. So it seems very ironic to me how you want a rankings with as few videos as possible. Furthermore, many people here even find the Proof Call window of ~80 points too lenient (it has been ~80 points since 2009...). So if anything, more claimed times should be proven.

Your softman/Karl argument is not what I meant with skill/no skill and you know it. Regardless, both of them would naturally need to provide proof of Cav 1:32.

You're playing Mario because you've realised that you suck at GE and will never be ranked higher than 7th again.

Luke: You had until May 1st to prove those times. I locked the levels; the moment you have videos for those times, they'll go on the ranks.

Yeah guys this is so unfair. Sometimes it takes me 1.5 months to upload a 4 minute video too!

Nah you're playing SM64 because you're completely irrelevant nowadays and you'll eventually get passed by even me, putting you on suicide watch live for your 10K followers.

Wtf?

1) I am clearly capable of that time.
2) ExpertGamer is a better speedruner than me.
3) Therefore he is capable of that time.

Just saying. Even a few newbies have got 1:14 recently, so no doubt he can.

I've made mistakes in the past, but saying "he's capable of achieving that time, so he doesn't need proof" is the biggest piece of subjective bullshit I have ever heard in my life. Someone's skill level is completely irrelevant when it comes to this issue. Saying that is just an excuse to not provide proof.
Title: Re: April 2014 Proof Call
Post by: AZ on May 02, 2014, 07:14:15 pm
It's ironic how Goose always stresses how bad of a player Expert is. Yet, Expert was ranked as high as 2nd in PD in his heyday (with 1.1 and no use of PAL) and has achieved 27 untieds in his career. By using Goose's logic, many (ancient) PD players within the Top 40 or so are apparently also bad players with no skill whatsoever.

I don't think it's wise to critisize a proof mod for asking for proof unless the scenerio is 'obviously' rediculous.

Asking for proof of a reasonable time by a lower ranked player isn't rediculous. It's only outside the recommended point barrier by 2 points so it's pretty reasonable. Mirror's other times have no impact on this decision.

We are trying to establish a general attitude that providing proof should happen for ALL reasonable times. Basically, don't slack off. The more times that are proven the better the elite becomes. If you want to create a better elite, support it by creating videos of all your times.

You cannot argue that needing to provide proof is a bad thing. So drop the attitude and understand that this is a good thing as a whole.
