I like you more these days noob, and this is not personal, but ghosting is not a display of skill, but arguably at best a display of patience. I've always perceived it as an art of deception, in which you deceive unaware players and yourselves into thinking you actually did what the replay shows you. I passed it to mr..a because the thread seemed biased and a tool to further deceive players of your superior skill in deception, as you and bt had the most feats. I also did it to be a di*k. I honestly dont think ghosting should be premiered at all, and it has ruined this game forever.
I don't respect your opinion. It has, as always, zero worth, and you contribute with no clarification as to why you disagree. Not that there are any legitimate reasons to why ghosting should be premiered. It's always the cheaters defending it, and the motives are transparent as fu*k.
That's the standard for a "Stig response" if he doesn't agree with you. I find it funny that he's so devoted on criticizing Noob "and all the cheaters" for "deceiving other players" but he never hesitated on being rude to other members and doing what he feels like, instead of doing what the community is more interested in. This so called "illegal ghosting" has being one of the reasons this community is still alive, alongside trackmaking obviously. The fact this thread has 215 pages is a proof of that. Yeah, that's not how Char and the devs probably thought the game was supposed to work, but if it was that big of a deal, why not change the ghosting system for like it was in Free Rider 3, for example? It couldn't be that hard. Char said once that Official things related to ghosting would only happen when the ghosting system was "fixed", but it never was and this thread happened anyways, so I never got the idea. Why you guys are so bitter about it? If it was that big of a deal, the devs should have changed it. Pausing the game is allowed, the spacebar is on everyone's keyboard, so I don't get the "cheating part" of it. Yeah, it's not how it should be in the original ideas, but after 7 years, really? Ghosting is a part of the game for almost 7 years and for even more time in other versions of the game. This version of the game is around for like 7 years, so it's something that is happening pretty much since the beginning. And after all of this, there's still some complaints from the not so polite far too powerful Stig. It seems that some things will never change.
Dang this thread got depressing... I agree that spacebarring is a bit deceptive, but only if you don't know they spacebar (like when I first started playing, I thought they were cheating lmao). Once you do, you realize it is a technique that makes difficult tricks much easier by effectively stretching time (hence the argument for patience rather than skill). Even though patience is a huge part of spacebarring, there are varying levels of skill within the spacebarring community . That is made very apparent by this very thread. Another thing that proves the involvement of skill in spacebarring are the existing "TAS" ghosts. Some of them suck compared to others and somtimes are beat by some really good spacebarrers. This is because it is not real TAS and actually takes real input from the player, similar to spacebarring but with infinite checkpoints (kinda). To adamantly claim that everyone is deceived by spacebarrers and they are dishonest cheaters just makes you look out of touch with the community. Yes, a lot of people don't like the existance of spacebarring. BUT there is also no unfair advantage because everyone is capable of learning the technique and spacebarring has pretty much been an accepted part of the game for years now. idk, just my dissorganized thoughts on a public forum, nothing to see here
lmfao yea you tilted me with that and im still a bit salty about it there was no bias in the thread tho, we had higher standards for our own ghosts. hence why outs rarely, if ever got beaten. we also mare an unwritten rule to ourselves to not beat other players' ghosts, because at the time we could beat any that we anted. edit. why am i ghost moderator lmao how do i even use this rank???
Yes, some immature teenager (I'm going to assume he was a child seeing as he thought there was no NSFW detection) was spamming NSFW. You're not hallucinating
