Before video requirements were a thing, at least half of the records posted to the rankings were fake. Maybe 5,000. This include fakes from players like Karl, Dark Avenger, ChodhE, etc.

Since the time videos were required UNTIL Everdrive became a thing in 2012/2013, about 500 videos were likely faked or spliced. This includes stuff like Jimbo's Silo 00A 1:34, Henning runs, and various Trent Hovis videos. Ace and Goose splices too.

I wouldn't put the Everdrive count to more than 50. If a player can get away with it on one level, they are likely to use it on multiple levels. Which is why anyone who votes 1 or 2 doesn't have a clue about anything. Assuming at least 3 people have managed to do this, which is a realistic guess, I would put the count to maybe 10-15.

I can't believe everyone votes OVER 20 and still plays the game, that makes very little sense!

that's equal to participating in the Tour de France knowing everyone is on EPO, but you're not. Makes no sense.........unless you are also on EPO!

So basically 90% of people who vote over 20 are probably cheaters themselves. Happy everdriving  :nesquik:

If we account the "lied about" I also think the number would be astronomically high, but only including the ones with videos then it gets way more narrow.

You got me. If I didn't fake some of my videos how could I have ever gotten 1st place? :(
