Everyone in this thread targeting Dossar for Funnygurl's legitimacy needs to stop their bullshit right now.

There's plenty of reason to believe that Funnygurl wasn't legitimate (at the time). I was the one checking her replays beforehand after peeking at her Pandora replay AND I was the one who thought there was something wrong. There were some absolutely ridiculous patterns strung together for a human player, leading me to believe that there was some arrow slowdown potentially involved, not to mention there were some incredibly wild score fluctuations within her scores that were saved. Dossar mentioned that he didn't want to be the one to point anything out in the middle of the tournament for this exact reason, because none of you guys are mature enough to at least CONSIDER the options without trying to make him look like crap.

I asked for multiple opinions about the pattern hits, with Dossar being the first person because he analyzes things on a regular basis. Yes, I was suspicious because she wasn't willingly saving replays. She doesn't play on R^2, so the fact that she was opting out of saving replays for her best scores but was saving for more inferior songs was very suspicious to me. Don't blame Dossar for that, blame me.

I check people's replays constantly, and you know what, it's a good thing that I did because had I not, Tarrik would have gone the entire tournament botting and no one would have noticed. Curiosity is beneficial to others once in a while -- ddrkid007 is getting a shot at top 8 and look what he's making of it now. He wouldn't have had that opportunity before. So yeah, I check replays out of my own enjoyment, but every once in a while, something productive happens out of it. Whether it be people requesting analysis on their own plays, or me looking because I have my doubts.

In addition to that, there was a ridiculous skill boost that just so happened to be within the time of the tournament. That's another reason why I kept watching for a little while. There are still some really funky things that happened that I'd like to see explained, like a 0-framer hit on an otherwise normal Church Bells run, or how those insanely fast patterns (accidental or not) were done on Pandora. Willingness to do a video always helps, and there's reasonable proof that she's a player capable of doing very well when playing legitimately. In the end, that's all you would want. She did a video to prove legitimacy and while there might be reasonable doubt about a few things in the past, the video does show that she's a legitimate player.

God, I can't believe I typed this whole message to you people after getting home from work. So goddamn annoying.

As far as you Funnygurl: as I said before, I came clean and I was the one who kept close tabs (and found a few odd things that I would still love addressed) on you, I'll apologize for causing any trouble.

Everyone else: grow up.
