outside
I wanted to wait for the kreedz.com post, but it seems like everything is dragging on, so I'll give a short comment from myself. At the request of the kreedz.com administration, represented by
poker, on May 18 I participated in the test that
ShoCk, as their former CEO, organized for
outside. The test took place in two computer clubs in Moscow. The idea was that
outside shows his skills on different devices (his own,
ShoCk's and a new keyboard and mouse from the same brand, specially purchased for the test).
outside couldn't make any settings according to the conditions, so
ShoCk and I did it for him. The entire process was filmed on a tablet by
koala, plus a broadcast was streamed on Twitch, but since there was almost no wireless signal in the first club, it was impossible to turn on the lights, and the sound was very muffled, the broadcast became more meaningful only after changing the location. Nevertheless, despite the many problems that we encountered (there were difficulties with logging into accounts, in addition, the process of installing the LAN pack and setting up the game was possible only through local admins), the event can be considered a success. The recordings were compiled into one video, which can be
watched on YouTube.
Toff1fee also took part in the check and recorded several demos just like
ShoCk did according to the drawn up plan. Also there was
meh (if I'm not mistaken), who introduced himself as
theYAMBO, apparently for the sake of a joke.
During the test
outside played on:
1) new mouse and
ShoCk's keyboard on LAN
2) new mouse and his keyboard on LAN
3) his mouse and his keyboard on LAN
4) new mouse and his keyboard on kreedz.ee server
5) his mouse and new keyboard on LAN
6) new mouse and new keyboard on kreedz.ee server
LAN demos were recorded and can be downloaded
here. According to the conditions,
outside had to play on the maps
fastrun and
kzru_hb_all1ance, and also complete one or two short bhop maps on the server. At the same time, on
fastrun it was necessary to make as many 26-second bhop runs as possible, show a good dd run on it (maintain a speed of 240+ and reach 270 units/s), and
kzru_hb_all1ance had to be completed with the ability to skip several pre-agreed places in case problems arise there. There were also other maps in the original plan, but there wasn't enough time for everything, and we recorded more than enough material without them.
ShoCk and
Toffifee also recorded several demos on their devices and
outside's one,
As a result, we received enough demos and server logs for analysis, and as for the test conditions,
outside fulfilled and exceeded the plan (already at the first stage he reached a speed of 384 units/s in dd run). He did not sleep for two days (always get enough sleep before an important task!) and was clearly tired after several runs of kzru_hb_all1ance, and nevertheless, in the second club he made several runs on the server that were close to the world record.
outside said he doesn't plan to play kz in the future, but I think he's still young and will always have time to come back if he wants.
The kreedz.com admins will draw their own conclusions, I've helped them as much as I can. As for me, it was interesting to watch a game of this level live, while also monitoring the legitimacy of the entire process. However, I want to repeat the idea from the previous news on this topic – it is impossible to completely confirm or refute the legitimacy of demos that raised doubts, either now or in the future. Yes, a live test showed that
outside is indeed capable of showing very good results, but the demos themselves, recorded in the past, technically will not be able to provide enough information, and this applies to absolutely all players. At KZ-Rush we reserve the right, if in doubt, to express distrust of a particular record and require additional actions from the player to confirm its legitimacy (though not at the level of live check). However, a ban is issued only if the violation has a sufficient degree of reliability, and we also determine this ourselves. We try to be as fair as possible, given that we initially have no obligations to anyone. So the only thing those who for some reason are concerned about the legitimacy of other players can do is to trust our decisions and, if necessary, provide assistance. And before accusing anyone, I strongly advise you to read the
community rules again, so as not to be surprised by a mute later.
In conclusion, I want to thank the participants, all the guys showed themselves from a good side, contributing to the common cause on a voluntary basis. The event turned out to be unique, it definitely made its way in kz history :)

There was already an incident with this player concerning his YouTube channel, where he posted abuses of my server plugin instead of reporting them to me via PM. And now after a warning he did the same thing again, literally a couple of days after I helped him restore savepos, which he accidentally reseted. So, asking for help in a PM is normal, but for some reason it is impossible to report a critical bug. What goes on in the heads of such people is a mystery to me, but since the popularity of the YouTube channel worries him more, I can only suggest continuing to search for vulnerabilities on other servers, since he will no longer go to ours. I won't waste time on his demos either, this release will be his last. This is one of the few bans not for cheats, but for violating the community rules (again, I advise you to read them if you haven't had time yet).
New Maps
We have these two community maps in the upload for quite a while:
riq_resonance by
EnriqueMurcielago and
JIG_happy_nature_h by
JesusChristIsGod. Preliminary difficulty of
riq_resonance is extreme, its balance was examined by our checker
noclipz. Also
V4R10L4V3R4 and
CrayFish gave comments on the mapping issues, thanks to them for that. Next,
JIG_happy_nature_h is a hard-extreme version of
JIG_happy_nature_ez, posted earlier, but with the same religious message (by the way, be careful with this, with current laws it is better not to touch on sensitive topics). Thanks to
abubas who helped with its check. Enjoy the game!
About the release: I made a mistake, so don't pay attention to the previous records and Exp in the list, everything in the profiles should be correct.
