A month ago you guys were saying 0:23 was incredibly good and it was unlikely anyone would ever tie it. Damn, how things change.

No, Frigate 23 was always overrated based on how much luck is involved. No record is safe in this day and age. Personally, I only think that Silo 1:10 and Caverns 1:38 are safe just based on how insane they are.

I don't think Illu, Clemens or any other top players can touch it, period.
Embrace the grind.

you're such a know-it-not

you haven't even seen 1:38 so you know nothing whatsoever about how crazy it is. and all current untieds will not stay that way.

Okay, so getting a 4 second untied isn't insane?  Bullshit. If you used your brain, you'd realize you don't need a vid to understand that.

I truly can comprehend how unbelievably insane 1:10 is, and would put that up with any record out there. I don't think anyone but Bryan / Jimbo could tie that record within a few months of solid playing. That level is 100% knowledge, and very few people have any sufficient knowledge of Silo to play at our level. (Too bad my times suck now but I was the 2nd best Silo player ever for the longest time so I have credibility here). I think I can also blindly claim that 1:10 is the best SA record....

it's not like I wasn't the best at silo when I still played.

also, cav 00 is only untied by 1 second.

Wouter seriously, everyone who's anyone in GE knows how good you were during your time and we respect that the same way we respect sterling, randy and all those guys.  You shouldn't have to make posts telling us how good you were, that makes us respect you less and makes you seem very pretentious.  You need to learn modesty, then everyone in your life will like you more.

Here's words of advice:

Yield and overcome;
Bend and be straight;
Empty and be full;
Wear out and be new;
Have little and gain;
Have much and be confused.
Therefore wise men embrace the one and set an example to all.
Not putting on a display, they shine forth.
Not justifying themselves, they are distinguished.
Not boasting, they receive recognition.
Not bragging, they never falter.
They do not quarrel, so no one quarrels with them.
Therefore the ancients say, Yield and overcome.
Is that an empty saying?
Be really whole, and all things will come to you.
-Tao Teh Ching

You are so cocky Jimbo! It took you 190 hours to get frigate 25! That's terrible, you noob! ;)

heh, the funny thing is Id still say Jimbo is one of the best at silo and could get some nice PRs there within a few hours if he played even a few hours sometime.  I learned to play silo from his vids so obviously there's something there.
