Well, I think how CBM is treating this whole aftermath is a bit ridiculous. Yes people fell for it. Why? Slaphappy didn't post most of his reasons for believing it was fake, and our other main BK-BT hacker didn't hack anything, and seemed to believe everything genuinely. For most of these people, that is the limit of their abilities: See what the hackers find, then speculate. In this case, the only hacker was CBM, and that's what they did.
I don't know why hatrickpatrick fell for it, he could have easily seen what happened, so long as he had looked into the savestate. He had the skills, but he trusted his friends. Slaphappy called it out. Plain and simple. I saw hatrickpatrick wasn't going to be hacking or looking into the validity, but it was more than enough that slaphappy called it as a hoax for me to be sure it was fake. Since he didn't post any reasons why, but I knew he had more than enough tools available to him to prove the hoax, I (rightly) trusted him, and I think at that point, several other forum members did too. So at that point, we knew we couldn't find the "proof" CBM wanted, but those of us that couldn't hack could find methods that this whole thing could be done. Through finding these methods, it became very obvious that the savestate was actually the savestate of a patched game, otherwise, people would have been able to make it out of the area at least part of the time before the game locked up. Once this was determined, which was proof, Coolboyman wouldn't accept it as so, and therefore, he believed he out smarted everyone. He didn't realize that at that point, most people denouncing it as fake were just trying to let others know it was fake, that we didn't care about what CBM had to say at that point. All in all, even though this was a "parting shot," it seems CBM walks away with a false sense of satisfaction, and a reversed lesson. There are indeed things people who can't truly hack can do. For instance, did you know the textures of the chest to get into TTC are the same as the textures on the chests in Blackeye's room? You don't have to hack to see that. No, that doesn't really say anything, but it is an observation anyone can make. Another thing non-hackers can do, for instance, is to look at what the activation of the missing sandcastle codes do. They can activate the digits without any real hacking, and then search through the game. That did originate from hacking, but it's still something that is found without any users hacking. Not only that, but users that can't hack can speculate on the findings that a hacker finds. After all, for all we know, SNS is still in BK, and so there's still a bit to learn about what BK's part was, and speculation to help lead the hackers is something that anyone can do. So in short, most, but not all new "discoveries" will involve hacking, but not always to the extent that only someone who knows how to search code and values and the like can do it. To the contrary, activating all the missing sandcastle codes on a basically new game, then searching for any changes is something anyone can do, once Subdrag discovered that there were missing values that could have been sandcastle codes. Additionally, several of the people who didn't believe didn't believe you because of the holes and flaws in what you had done, not because of the date. You didn't start this March 31st or April 1st, you started it late February. As time passed, the date did become evidence that you would be lying, but it wasn't hardly the sole reason of disbelief. |

CBM, I practically worshipped you. You "discovered" all those eggs, and even though I am happy to know whether it was real or fake, goddamn you, CBM. You may have lots of rep, but you are still a disgrace. damn you to ****in hell.

Well you all should have known better than to start wetting your pants over a "new discovery" in a 9-year-old, hacked-to-crap game.

[QUOTE=Ice Lightning]I didn't care because I don't care about SNS, I know it's dead and people don't want to believe this for some reason. Probably to give their life some meaning beyond nothingness.
actaully it's human nature to find meaning even when there actually may not be any, that's why people refuse to believe SnS is dead[QUOTE]

What I meant by my comment was that I think it's quite ridiculous how serious most of the people here take it now. I'm not saying you shouldn't have fun, but a lot of the times the posts I see here are just ridiculous. |
