this entire dispute is a clusterfuck of amazing proportions i totally forgot to cover the NDA's that TG employee's were offered what was debatably bribes into accepting if they didn't talk about shit, from forms signed by Walter and Billy. Someone uploaded them on TG. I'll try to dig them up.
Bless you for these lore updates, this is interesting to me but I also don't have enough time to do my own investigation (nor do I know where to look since I'm out of the loop of this entire gaming subculture)
TG Logic: if it's in the database its valid.
Looks like they're taking the "innocent until proven guilty" stance except in this case it's "valid until proven invalid".
So is he going to keep acting like a broken record or are we gonna get on with this...
It's annoying but he HAS to do it imo. Hearing straight from his mouth is worth a lot more than a forum post.

Ouch, the is a shit quality VHS.
so far it seems to be not legit
annnd im back again. did I miss anything actually interesting cause it looks like he's finalLY talking about the fukin tape lol.
the girders immediately drop, which means its a mame https://i.imgur.com/5evB6Ha.jpg
I like how a lot of the people defending Billy in the chat were starting off with calling this a "witch hunt", etc. Now I keep catching stuff like, "why can't we just leave what's in the past in the past." Lol, because he fuckin' cheated his way there, that's why.
who is this on the phone?
heres the girder load too https://i.imgur.com/6kz6nTe.jpg
I would hate to be in the position of this man. At the same time it seems that they vastly underestimated how meticulous and borderline impossible to fool the modern speedrunning community is.
second drop, No missed frames https://i.imgur.com/ipHGDeX.jpg

Another one bites the dust
jace is long winded as hell but it almost like he's saying Billy might not get a blanket ban from the website like Todd did cause Todd only had that happen cause he was entering his own scores. That'd be kinda shite tbh, Billy should be given the full boot from the site.
I think that's perfect for Billy, honestly. Just having his scores removed but not blanket banning him means that the temptation will be there for him to try again. Anything he submits from here on will be scrutinized to a ridiculous degree and knowing Billy, he'd be caught cheating yet again and further humiliate himself.
I feel you but he isn't guilty of half the shit Todd was so a blanket ban seems to be overkill, not that it wouldn't be satisfying mind you.
i mean yeah but at the same time, isn't it pretty much impossible to distinguish current versions of MAME from arcade now? I really don't know but yeah i imagine it'd be a lot easier for him to get away with it now with current technology being what it is.
If he sucks it up and admits he was lying the whole time, let him stay but wipe the scores. If he keeps up the facade shit, ban him.
oi vey https://i.imgur.com/XnZbdiJ.png jace claims this screen tells you nothing, but it's a partial frame sequence. You can see at the very top the two girders from a 3 girder transition, but blank space where the 4th and 5th would've been had the incomplete frame been a 5 girder. That points to MAME, not inconclusive..
2nd finger https://i.imgur.com/OghAg94.jpg
3rd actually. he found another one earlier. they're stacking up
I ended up rotating my screen because looking at it sideways was getting annoying.
And there's a fourth finger lol. Almost up to a full hand now!
