Psh, we still have 3 days left, I'll make you improve

never say never~

man, i played staircase like 7 times and the only time i quit out cause i thought i was doing bad, my score was way better

rip in fuckin pieces

I just got done reading the whole Lavadoom thing, and honestly I'm torn. Part of me thinks that he could have been BSing his skill level the whole time, but another part wants to believe him. I remember when Lavadoom's account was like 2 days old and he came into MP and was complete garbage (sorry). But I also remember him trying really hard to get better, and people who do so, especially new players, tend to improve really quickly. But like Kayla said, there are a few red flags that are definitely difficult to overlook. I don't know what I'd do in this situation tbh :/

Anyone remember beary605? Was in D3 for the 8th official and D6 for the 9th. I'm still kinda suspicious of that.

In the 9th Official, I was D1 in R1, D2 from R2 and on (was misplaced, couldn't read my skill since I never used to play for PA). Probably gonna be solid D5 in the 10th. Same kind of jump. I had been saving all of my best replays, so anyone keeping track of those and my forum posts since December could observe my progress

[rushyrulz]

Yeah, I think it's quite amazing actually how quickly people are improving with the new engines. Skill growth used to not be nearly as monumental, but I feel with the customizability of the new engines, anyone who really wants to get better definitely can, very quickly I've noticed. One of the members I recruited, loop123456, jumped up to D4 or D5 level in less than a year because he played the shit out of this game. Another one of my mentees, Riotpolice took a bit longer to get better, but in the end he ended up getting nearly as good as I am rather quickly (a couple years maybe). I wish I could have seen Lavadoom play a bit more since i can usually gauge if the player has potential when they're still pre-D1. Watch out for Mr.QuackBosley, guys he's getting pretty good for being a newer player.

Although an IP check doesn't match with any other user, referrer for the account is Rapta (something common with Rapta's other alts) and on numerous occasions I've seen Rapta chatting with himself on his alts in mp (pretty weird stuff tbh)

If I had to guess, I'd say Lavadoom is one of Rapta's irl friends that he played for

edit: also I'm just stopping by and read this, I have no idea what the score in question even is lol

It's not some insane score, but it doesn't make sense given what's gone on.

To everyone else talking about it, I could MAYBE buy it if he had other scores that were on his account showing he was improving but when I checked after Glaciate he didn't. It was just Glaciate. When people are improving usually they're playing many different things and you'll see improvements elsewhere. I didn't see that here.

I don't like to DQ anyone, but I truly feel as though he cheated in this. At one point he complained about the songs being too easy and I offered for him to move to D2, he didn't take it. There's a lot of suspicious behavior.

First off you could have contacted me privately if you wanted to talk not post in the thread.
2nd my decision is final anyway so it's not going to make much difference.


You think you're annoyed? Do you know what it's like to try to host events and have to constantly deal with these types of things? It sucks even worse when it's the official and there's big prizes involved. This years is going to be even worse, good luck to AJ on that one.

I gave plenty of reasoning as to why the score makes no sense. I have nothing more to say on the subject.

[Rapta]

I pmd you after the post on this thread. I did not apparently fully read nor did I full understand your post specifically. Sorry if I was rude at all, i'm just a stupid child who needs to just stop.

Edit: I hope she actually read my PM, I literally posted an essay long thing witht still no response via PM ;-;

End of Tourney got so intense. //labored breathing\\

0 Restarts. There is a thing you can do called play the song 100 times, get 100 restarts, go play a different song, then go back to the song you played 100 times, and play it once and it won't show the previous 100 restarts, or he could have just hit the restart button every time he messed up before the song ended and the 100 restarts would not show up. <-- May not be 100% accurate because I pulled those statements from memory, but feel free to check it out

Also, IP thingy of Halogens didn't find me, so no evidence, and I can even tell you I don't even know the password for Lavadooms account. Also, I have played against Lavadoom in MP several times, making him play Mania songs with me, and even some easy songs like Galaxy when I feel like playing easy songs. Just an FYI.

[Lavadoom4]

dude if you can't see the edge of the 0's on that pic, then you're retarded. Which I am already fully convinced of, as the fact that these kids can't seem to use an ip tracker, account login information, or the amount of time i played the song before accusing me of crap. Learn to look into crap before you accuse.

I am one of his IRL freinds, and they are questioning the fact that I AAA'd a song as hard as a level 20. I'm as confused as everyone else.
