Okay, let’s start with the facts.
1. The WIP was inspired by Qwerty’s last published TAS. The publishing here was not the primary goal — the primary goal was showing Qwerty that together with others (not particularly with me and feeuzz) would result in making a better run.
2. The WIP was started by
me and feeuzz. At that moment noone else knew about it.
3. 80-90% of the input in this run is mine (I hope this doesn’t look false?)
4. The run includes a bunch of 3-rd party input parts, which are listed in the description
5. DMTM’s part is not [significally] longer than Aglar’s marzojr’s or TheYogWog’s — all of them fit into a few seconds
6. This run abuses glitches found by DMTM (as well as the ones found by other people)
7. I could never let DMTM know about my WIP,
at all
8. I used DMTM’s input in FBZ1 simply because I was unable to enter the wall faster, but since I was making my run in hurry, the speed was my primary goal, and I probably didn’t try hard enough.
9. Obviously, if I knew what it would turn to, I would do the zip completely myself.
10. It’s up to you to consider me a bastard, as got4n says, but the truth is: I am ashame to see my name where the name of DMTM is present. And, obviously, I do not want to bring him to «players» world with me. I even apologize about unblocking him in my Skype (in fact, marzojr and Aglar also banned him for his harassment).
11. I
really do not care if got4n and DMTM beat me, but let them do it in their own project, not mine! I will not participate there and will not beg for co-authorship even if they copy-paste 10 times more than I did.
12. Despite everything said, I appreciate DMTM’s contribution into the run — otherwise I wouldn’t thank him in the submission text at all. But my opinion is that it does not worth co-authorship. Qwerty’s co-authorship is also under question, but in fact, his run helped me a lot more — I often used his strategies where I could not find anything better; also his run was a reference — thanks to it, I knew what times I should reach at worst. But I do not enjoy when people decide something for me in my projects. Imagine that everytime when you use the
shunting-yard_algorithm (or even the library, which implements it) in your program, someone blames you for not listing Edsger Dijkstra in the «about» window.
13. The main fact: I will prefer this run unpublished than me being
luck-manipulated
