I've casually played on a board about Halo speedrunning. I have always hated Discord, and the board is on Discord. Every few weeks there are competitions to see who can run through levels and get the quickest times. It's just supposed to be for fun and friendly competition. This is a Discord with maybe 100 members total, and most of those accounts don't ever do anything. So, it's not like real worldwide rankings or anything, and the times from this Discord compared to real world rankings aren't shit.
I'm pissed off because for weeks I have suspected one of the moderators of cheating and now I have confirmation that they are. If I were to say anything it'd be a witch hunt with me getting banned, and I don't want the headache. I'm 29 years old, and very casually play old video games every now and then. I hate Discord and what it's about. And I have a life outside the internet. This isn't that important to me, and I don't want the bullshit.
The person cheating is around my age, and is the biggest fakeass loser that there is. Cheating to be number 1 in a Discord server most people don't even know exists. Then posting pictures of what a supposed great life they're living outside the internet, when it appears that every free second is spent on the Discord.
Keep it. Cheat and lie for your glory no one cares about. I've been slowly getting rid of a lot of the video games and shit I used to have to immerse myself in when I was a very isolated kid/teenager/young adult. I don't and will never get why people like this asshole who seems to have had every opportunity that I didn't, are so wrapped up in this shit. When yet, I had to live in this garbage, and I've already purged like 80% of my old collection and plan of getting rid of more.
It makes no fucking sense. But I'll take see that asshole for what they are as reason enough to not participate anymore. They can have their fake glory, and I can live my life. There is a really nice person at my work who I like, who always is nice to me. Maybe I can talk to her. Maybe I can live my life instead of cheating to have the "best" time on The Flood.

Then it devolves into obsession, mental illness, nitpicking every tiny detail "My character was 1 pixel toi slow". Really insane crap, but it does not stop there. In the more extreme cases there are players who literally play to death, as in they do a marathon session for days on end without sleeping or eating and literally drop dead from exhaustion (this was a big problem in Korea). And death threats to which might lead up to actual murder. And all for what? To get on a leaderboard almost nobody cares about and will be forgotten? anonymous 1 week ago

That person Im talking about seems to be that level of obsessed. They are constantly pretending to be all about positivity and shit, yet they are doing several things to cheat. Cheating on a Discord with very few people, all for the glory of fastest times on fucking Halo games.
They'll never grow up. Will probably be 60 years old and still living on there. anonymous 1 week ago
