Hey everybody,
Here's a little summary of what we did in the past couple of days concerning this case:
Step 1, we asked to araQ the replay of Flanders made in TRC Noreasontower (it was and still is his most impressive time). araQ captain was kind to send us quickly, so we went to Step 2: analyzing it.
The result is that TRC Staff did not find anything unusual in his replay, except for some amazing driving of course
Wait, wait, Hurricane is a noob and I don't trust him in skill matters! OK that is true, but in TRC Staff we also have some very skilled players, such as Fool, Ventil and Tortu. None of them could find any kind of hacking or bug exploiting on Flanders replay.
After that, schalkeboy opened a new thread complaining about this and what happened next is that Flanders sent us ALL his replays of 4 tracks. Nothing unusual again.
Whether if Flanders is a second account of some other elite skilled player, as a lot of people suggested, obviously we can't tell. It's up to you to take your own conclusions. What matters to TRC Staff is the clean way to play Trackmania.
Thank you all and enjoy the last weekend of Qualifications!
ps: I won't post Flanders replays here without his approval. If he thinks it's necessary, we can make them public.
ps 2: this topic will remain locked, so if someone has anything else to say concerning this case, don't hesitate to ask me via PM
