Billy Mitchell did nothing wrong.
« on: June 06, 2024, 07:54:07 PM »
Greatest Donkey Kong player of all time.



On the one hand, Billy Mitchell did use MAME then when caught he did lie about using MAME, on the other hand, speedrunning as an organisation pushes transgenderism on socially awkward kids, like at GDQ.

Karl Jobst also has a problem with the truth when the truth doesn't align with what he believes, he spoke very unfairly about Rwhitegoose when Rwhitegoose cited accurate crime statistics, it seems Karls quest for truth is more of a quest for views and popularity, inconvenient facts are cast aside.

Give em hell Billy the GOAT.
I hope you take them for everything they are worth.

Eventually I'll get bored of this but for now I'm having fun.

Why would that be inciting terrorism?  Lorddave was merely describing a type of shop we have here in the US, a bomb-gun shop.  A shop that sells bomb-guns.

Ha ha, I went down the Mitchell rabbit hole for a bit, I think he is probably just a shit bird like most of them in that industry including Jobst. Though I have a sneaking hunch Jobst may be a bigger shit bird than many just off his attitude and always trying to appear holier than thou, usually people like that have some big nasty in the background/behind the scenes.

The funny thing is that even if Karl proves that Billy used MAME, got caught using MAME, then lied about using MAME.

That doesn't mean he cheated. There's lots of speedrun categories where using an emulator is just fine. If anyone thinks a CD, cartridge or arcade machine stops people using rom hacks to manipulate rng, they are naive.

I'll actually be watching this with some interest because Karl is going to have to prove Billy cheated, or pay out for slander and libel. No one has ever been able to prove Billy cheated, just that he used an emulator.

I don't like either one of them tbqh but Karl should pick his battles. He's very confident he will win, but he can't prove Billy cheated, and that's what he claimed Billy did.

The dendant points to the plaintiff’s positive denial of his pleading of the statutory defence of contextual truth. The critical allegations are in paragraph 18 of his amended reply file on 10 November 2021, where the defendant stated that the following contextual imputations are substantially true:

    (i) the plaintiff was publicly exposed as having cheated to achieve his record scores in the video arcade game, Donkey Kong;
Nope, he was publicly exposed for using an emulator.
   
Quote
(ii) the plaintiff was banned from submitting scores to Twin Galaxies LLC for cheating;
Nope, for using an emulator.
   
Quote
(iii) the plaintiff had planned to create a video that he could fraudulently use as evidence that he had achieved a score of 1,062,800 in the video arcade game, Donkey Kong;
There's no proof he didn't get this score on an emulator.
   
Quote
(iv) the plaintiff had callously expressed joy at the thought of Mr Smith’s death;
    (v) the plaintiff uses litigation to force third parties to recognise his achievements in videogaming.
Don't know / don't care / inconsequential.

Karl has bit off more than he can chew, imo. If he can't prove the first two points will he have to pay $450 000?

I've been a little tongue in cheek with this because Karl is very comfortable with popular lies. He's just going after what he thought was an easy target and easy views. Come back when youve suffered for telling the truth. Billy is insufferably arrogant but no one has ever proved he cheated his scores

You can prove he used Mame without proving he cheated. It's not enough to prove he used an emulator. It's a silly technicality Billy shouldn't have lied about.

I did some research in Queensland defemination law and it seems BM has more chance of winning this than I think people think.

I will take this one as an example, which should be easy to beat BM in court you would think.
(ii) the plaintiff was banned from submitting scores to Twin Galaxies LLC for cheating

This may be consider defamation (The case is primary defamation, not retro gaming) even if found to be the truth due to to the intent behind the publication. If the defamatory statement is found to have been published with malice, meaning with the intention of harming the other person's reputation, you can be held liable for defamation, even if the statement is true.

This is known as the "reckless disregard for the truth" test. If the defendant acted with reckless disregard for its truth, they can be held liable for defamation, even if the statement is ultimately proven to be true.

It will be interesting to see what happens with this one. Australian laws are very much on the side of the person who is defamed compared with other countries.
