Nah man, once you've got a name for having records then you're just throwing poo poo at the wall to see if it sticks. Because who's going to dispute your scores when you're in the good books of the organization?

Todd Roger is a really sad or perhaps even mentally ill person. I think we all know that by now. The bigger question is how or why is Twin Galaxies this biased or incompetent? "Verification" is basically "my buddy the referee agrees I got 15 million points" and if anyone else second guesses it, even with indisputable proof, they get shouted down and nothing changes. Is it possible to measure integrity as a negative number?

At one point his defenders were suggesting that the scores that ended in impossible digits were typos. Partly out of reverence for Todd, partly because the refs are known to be so incompetent that it's not the most unlikely scenario. His wabbit score of 1698 was originally disputed because the last digit was impossible. One of the former refs suggested rounding it down to the nearest possible digit. Then they found the killscreen at 1300.

Maybe Twin Galaxies is ok with lying so much because so many of their former top staff were loving massive criminals like the 2 or 3 different dudes who used to be at TG and now ain't because of committing sex crimes against kids.

The funniest thing is that conclusive proof was posted that it was flatly impossible (even beyond "well, let's round the score down to the nearest five"). One of the first suggestions is to move it down to the real max, 1,300, of course. But even funnier is that this thread is from November and the obvious fake score is still listed as #1. Edit: This thread just gets better and better. "It's not a typo, he listed it on his own site as the score he got." "Well, the site got hacked at some point and someone fiddled with scores." "Maybe he forgot and copied it from the hacked score." I can't tell what's serious any more and it makes it even funnier. Zamujasa fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Jan 28, 2018 |

Anything interesting thing about Todd's scores is that leeching is supposedly against the rules at TG yet Todd claims a billion points or something on a bunch of games. Even if it were possible to get that score (which it isn't) wouldn't that require him to stand around and farm points for hours upon hours? Wouldn't that alone invalidate the record anyway?

It's OK Todd's score has been beaten recently anyway: http://www.twingalaxies.com/showthread.php/181189-Atari-2600-VCS-Dragster-NTSC-Game-1-Difficulty-B-Fastest-Time-05-509-william-rosa

Nah, it's more like saying you can run the 4 second mile. Many of his records are over 100 times the next best; Centipede is over 1000. The 3 minute mile is at least vaguely theoretically humanly possible; you just have to match Usain Bolt's sprint for 3 minutes

His behavior would definitely lend itself to a diagnosis of pathological lying. It's a real psychological disorder although it may not rise to the level of outright illness.

Nice, but please tell me it's not this wall of text by the ex-staffer RTM that made Jace change his mind and render the decision a month early. It's a nice roundup of some of Todd's other fake scores and... some kind of analysis of the leaderboard history, but none of this is really new or even non-anecdotal information. e: never mind that's exactly it https://twitter.com/TwinGalaxies/status/957977419331330048 tiistai fucked around with this message at 15:29 on Jan 29, 2018 |

They also rapid fire had RTM post, then posted the verdict and locked the thread. So he must have sent them the whole thing ahead of time. Always backroom bullshit going on at TG

I was just thinking last night that there's no way TG drags out the verdict for another month with the amount of negative visibility this has brought to their site, along with people scrutinizing everything Todd had ever touched. The RTM post was probably just where they decided to lay down the goalposts and wrap it all up quick.

Something else must have happened and they're not disclosing it. All of what RTM said in that writeup he had said earlier in the thread and the other Todd dispute threads.
