Afterbirth Daily Discussion - 2017/04/17

I'm glad you brought this up, because I find it very interesting..

People on all different levels of good. /u/Xpiritflare, /u/Europa, who can rank high on evenly-skilled runs, and people like me who can sometimes pull off a top 10 (but mostly tank), all have something in common no matter how good: We sometimes make the wrong decisions.

It has nothing to do with skill and everything to do with, for example, choosing left instead of right. As we veterans know, that's all it can take sometimes.

However, being intrigued by this, I see that he never fails to find that one thing. He just plows through. You nailed it, it's EVERY DAY. I think even the most excellent players would agree that this is strange.

What really gets me is that, I do recall that he had his account banned, and said something about him having a brother who also plays. SO it got unbanned.

Welp, I looked back at the day that was posted, then looked on greedbutt to see what his rank was..It was #182. This guy, now, hardly ever gets under #20.

You can improve, but I find it weird that a guy with two accounts in his home, is one out of thousands who play the dailies, and is also someone who ranks in the top 10 almost all the time.

I would like to know who the "brother" is, and what stops him from just practicing on this brother account?

I'm not saying that's what is happening. But what exactly stops it?

And recording a practice of the run you already know about doesn't really prove anything. Only that if you played exactly the same, you have some crazy-ass foresight.

I remember Europa playing the run as early as he could and recorded it to prove he was being legit. Demanding the same from someone who has nothing to hide shouldn't be too much to ask.
