You have a Proof Deadline of 1 month.  That means, send a legitimate, proving tape of yourself playing perfect dark to your nearest proof mod by November 19th, or you're gone.  If you do not know who your nearest proof mod is, state where you live in this topic and we will tell you his name/address.

Damn, thats pretty harsh.  I have a question though.  I live in North Carolina (US) and my question is what if I dont live near any mods.  Could I find someone who has a converter, convert my tape to mpeg and send it to someone?

Yeah, I would say thats pretty harsh to, considering that I need more time to get my camera software situation fixed. Can you be a little more forgiving? I havent done anything to hurt this site or the people in it. I dont feel that I diserve that kind of action.....

Well I need to get my camera software to work and then I can set up numerous endscreens of some of my better times. The pictures show up as black in the software, thats the problem. I can import them and everything but they wont show up.

There is nothing harsh about having an entire month to get proof in.  For one thing, I can't understand it that there'd be software that takes over a month to set up or fix.  Secondly, you can just mail your tape to someone trusted if you're having problems with software.  

Mail = fast.

Thats why i'm saying send me the pics.  I would also take the tape because i have a friend with a digital camera on his comp that records movies and all i have to do is pop the tape in his vcr and record the tv screen.  Then, i'd send it to whoever needed it (I'm assuming you, youse but via E-Mail?) and that would be that.

"That means, send a legitimate, proving tape of yourself playing perfect dark to your nearest proof mod by November 19th, or you're gone."

He didn't ask for pictures.

Anyway, it's not like you'll be "banned", but just temporarily removed from the rankings until you've provided proof. You can always be let back in once there's no doubt in our minds. Just start taping from now on and when you get a few good times, send them off. Nobody will ask again for a while and we'll all have faith in you. Then we can all be jolly and merry. And we can do the cabbage patch.

In the past, we've usually given people two weeks to provide some kind of proof.  There's nothing the least bit harsh about a whole month.

Just keep taping the new times that you get and keep trying to get that software to work.  If you can't get it in three weeks, send whatever's on the tape then.

Well I would be taping some times but currently I only have endscreens. I DONT HAVE A VIDEO CAMERA. None of my friends have one either. I dont know how I can prove myself with messed up camera software, and w/out a video camera. I really want everyones trust in this, since everyone thinks im lying. Trust me, nothing would please me more than to show you all that im not lying. Will you except endscreens for the time? I guess one month is quite a while to provide proof, but I think it will have to be endscreens since I have no kind of video camera or anything. I will try to the best of my ability to get whatever kind of proof you need, whether it be endscreen, video, whatever. Im sure ive said this 200 times but the software doesnt show the picture when I load the camera data on to the computer. I have tried going to the polaroid site and trying different types of software, pretty much all my ideas to fix the damn thing. If anyone knows whats wrong or can help me out, my AOL or AIM is DunnoY719.

If you don't have a video camera, use your VCR to tape your runs.

Ok ok. I have all ready started on my video. It may seem strange that I have all these times allready but they are cake so here it is so far.....

0:17 chicago A
0:07 Defection A
0:59 CI A
2:02 SOS A

hmmmm, think thats it so far. Ohh yeah and 1:37 Inves. A (terrible. Got a 54 bot). I need to at least get like a 50 bot or something, then Ill be done with that level (Cause I will never, EVER, get the 48 bot again) Think that covers it. Gonna add some Defection SA and PA as well. I need to get the nearest location for that proof mod so I know where to send this thing..... Times ok so far?

Perhaps you might need some p2 on there, and some other times closer to your better times. Also put on scrolling proof as well.

Defection :07 is fine. Chicago, ehhh. :59 Defense does not prove :55. I think that's what you said you had anyway. Scrap the SOS time too.

1:37 with a 54 bot is incredibly pitiful.  It should be at least 1:35, especially for a guy who claims 1:30.

Post by: Elite-Gamer on October 22, 2002, 09:17:00 am
uhhh, yeah, I claim 57 and I can prove 59 on CI, thats close enough. Im gonna scrap that investigation and the SOS time to...
