Cheating and corruption on 1.6 KZ
1.6 KZ 上的作弊和腐败

Counter-Strike 1.6 is an aging video game, now over 20 years old, making it particularly vulnerable to cheating. Since the early days of the game, cheats have been widely developed and distributed, leading to a long history of cheating knowledge within the community. Unlike modern versions like CS:GO or CS2, where competitive players benefit from sophisticated anti-cheats like those from Faceit or ESEA, CS 1.6's KZ community lacks an external anti-cheat. Server-side anti-cheat plugins are only capable of detecting the most basic cheats and are ineffective against more advanced ones. As a result, the 1.6 KZ community relies heavily on a demo-checking team composed of experienced KZ players who analyze submitted demos for signs of cheating.
Counter-Strike 1.6 是一款老化的视频游戏，现在已经有 20 多年的历史了，这使得它特别容易受到作弊的影响。从游戏早期开始，作弊就被广泛开发和传播，导致社区内作弊知识的历史悠久。与 CS：GO 或 CS2 等现代版本不同，竞技玩家可以从 Faceit 或 ESEA 等复杂的反作弊中受益，CS 1.6 的 KZ 社区缺乏外部反作弊。服务器端反作弊插件只能检测最基本的作弊，对更高级的作弊无效。因此，1.6 KZ 社区严重依赖由经验丰富的 KZ 玩家组成的演示检查团队，他们分析提交的演示是否存在作弊迹象。

Due to the prevalence of cheats in CS 1.6, accusations and incidents of cheating have been common throughout the game's history, and KZ is no exception.
由于 CS 1.6 中作弊的普遍性，作弊的指控和事件在游戏的整个历史上很常见，KZ 也不例外。

One of the tools demo-checkers use; a tool called 'uq-checker', made by the UNIQUE-KZ community.
演示检查器使用的工具之一;一个名为“uq-checker”的工具，由 UNIQUE-KZ 社区制作。

The history of demo-checking began in 2005 on Xtreme-Jumps, when eDark started reviewing demos with his anti-cheat tool called fps-Death. The very first cheating bans on XJ were issued in late 2005, when klz and Target- were banned.
演示检查的历史始于 2005 年的 Xtreme-Jumps，当时 eDark 开始使用他的反作弊工具 fps-Death 审查演示。XJ 的第一次作弊禁令是在 2005 年底发布的，当时 klz 和 Target- 被禁止。

The earliest accessible banlist from XJ is available in the archives and is dated April 30, 2008. The latest accessible banlist is dated March 25, 2023. Unfortunately, XJ currently does not have a public banlist. The other KZ community, Cosy-Climbers, made their banlist public in late 2011, and it has remained public since.
XJ 最早可访问的封禁名单可在档案中找到，日期为 2008 年 4 月 30 日。最新的可访问禁令名单的日期为 2023 年 3 月 25 日。不幸的是，XJ 目前没有公开的封禁名单。另一个 KZ 社区 Cosy-Climbers 于 2011 年底公开了他们的禁令名单，此后一直公开。

Corruption is another problem closely linked to cheating. Some admins within KZ communities have turned a blind eye to certain cheaters, allowing them to continue playing, while others have even been caught using cheats themselves.
腐败是另一个与作弊密切相关的问题。KZ 社区中的一些管理员对某些作弊者视而不见，允许他们继续玩，而其他人甚至自己也被抓到使用作弊。

A former high-ranking admin of Xtreme-Jumps, recounts how XJ's demo admins protected cheaters back in the day, particularly during the period before 2015 when XJ had only one demo checker.
Xtreme-Jumps 的前高级管理员讲述了 XJ 的演示管理员在过去如何保护作弊者，尤其是在 2015 年之前 XJ 只有一个演示检查器的时期。

In XJ's history, there have been abuses by demo admins. For example, the anti-cheating tools used by the demo checkers have been leaked and cheaters have also been brazenly protected.
在 XJ 的历史上，Demo 管理员曾滥用过。例如，演示检查器使用的反作弊工具已被泄露，作弊者也受到了厚颜无耻的保护。

This former admin notes, however, that he believes this kind of behavior stopped when FAME joined the XJ team.
然而，这位前管理员指出，他认为当 FAME 加入 XJ 团队时，这种行为就停止了。

However, this stopped completely when FAME jumped on the bandwagon, since then there has been no protection or corruption on the XJ side when it comes to demos.
然而，当 FAME 加入潮流时，这种情况完全停止了，从那时起，XJ 方面在演示方面就没有任何保护或腐败。

ShoCk, the current CEO and the head admin of XJ, gave a rather shocking statement during the Kreedz.com Summer Tournament 2024 stream, where he talked about how even well-known cheaters in his view should be allowed to contribute in the community despite of cheating.
XJ 现任 CEO 兼首席管理员 ShoCk 在 Kreedz.com 2024 年夏季锦标赛直播中发表了相当令人震惊的声明，他谈到了即使是他认为知名的作弊者也应该被允许在作弊的情况下为社区做出贡献。

I believe if a cheater wants to help the community in terms of growing, he should be allowed to do this, even though he might be a cheater.
我相信，如果一个作弊者想帮助社区发展，他应该被允许这样做，即使他可能是一个作弊者。

There is a weird amount of acceptance for cheaters in the community, as ShoCk's comment illustrates. Players well-known for cheating, banned from submitting demos in every community, are fine to stream events, their runs are published on YouTube, they can participate in tournaments and so on.
正如 ShoCk 的评论所说明的那样，社区中对作弊者的接受程度很奇怪。以作弊而闻名的玩家，被禁止在每个社区提交演示，可以流式传输活动，他们的运行发布在 YouTube 上，他们可以参加锦标赛等等。

Old-school player Johnny explains how the community tends to turn a blind eye to cheaters because new records drive the interest of the community.
老派玩家 Johnny 解释了社区如何倾向于对作弊者视而不见，因为新记录会激发社区的兴趣。

Regarding corruption allegations, I could say that this is how things stay interesting in the community. There's a steady flow of new world records, even if the record holder is a cheater. That means more interest, which translates to more views, and so on.
关于腐败指控，我可以说这就是社区中事情保持有趣的方式。新的世界纪录源源不断，即使纪录保持者是作弊者。这意味着更多的兴趣，从而转化为更多的浏览量，依此类推。

Looking back at the last decade in the history of 1.6 KZ, much has happened. Perhaps the most blatant example of cheating and corruption was exposed in late 2017, when Phantometry, who was then the CEO of Cosy-Climbing, had to step down from the position due to extremely blatant corruption and cheating when FAME exposed both Phantometry and Garey.
回顾 1.6 KZ 的过去十年历史，发生了很多事情。也许最公然的作弊和腐败例子是在 2017 年底被曝光的，当时担任 Cosy-Climbing 首席执行官的 Phantometry 因极其公然的腐败和作弊而不得不辞职，当时 FAME 曝光了 Phantometry 和 Garey。

In this article, I want to delve into a few specific cases that I find particularly intriguing. I think these cases highlight key moments in cheating and corruption in the modern times of 1.6 KZ.
在本文中，我想深入研究一些我认为特别有趣的具体案例。我认为这些案件凸显了 1.6 KZ 现代欺诈和腐败的关键时刻。
The lack of serious writings or content on this matter motivated me to write at least one article that investigates these issues seriously.
缺乏关于这个问题的严肃著作或内容促使我至少写了一篇文章来认真研究这些问题。

outside's case  Outside 的案例

In late 2021, skArp, former demo admin, current CEO of Cosy, and current head demo admin of XJ, announced a permanent ban for outside due to outside submitting dozens of cheated demos to Cosy. Less than a month later, brokoly was also permanently banned by skArp for cheating.
2021 年底，前演示管理员、Cosy 现任 CEO 和 XJ 现任首席演示管理员 skArp 宣布永久禁止外部活动，因为外部向 Cosy 提交了数十个作弊的演示。不到一个月后，brokoly 也因作弊而被 skArp 永久封禁。

Rumors indicate that a total of three players had been suspected of using a similar cheat. Initial findings were allegedly found by Caffemocker. Two of these players were outside and brokoly, who were banned based on Caffemocker's and Fiveshot's investigations. The third player was topoviygus, who was never banned.
谣言表明，共有三名玩家被怀疑使用类似的作弊手段。据称，最初的调查结果是由 Caffemocker 发现的。其中两名球员在外面，根据 Caffemocker 和 Fiveshot 的调查，他们被禁赛。第三名玩家是 topoviygus，他从未被禁止。

It is important to mention for the readers that skArp is a very close friend of outside, brokoly, and topoviygus.
值得一提的是，skArp 是 outside、brokoly 和 topoviygus 的非常亲密的朋友。

In late 2022, just over a year after outside was banned, he was unbanned by skArp. In his appeal for the unban, outside claimed he had found a random cheat, used it for one hour, then deleted it. However, according to his story, the cheat somehow remained on his computer and was automatically activated every time he launched CS. (Anyone with experience in CS cheats knows how extremely odd it is for a cheat to activate without user input and to launch automatically after rebooting the system, especially for 'a random cheat you find.') He then proceeded to record and submit dozens of demos, allegedly unaware that the cheat was active in the game and in his demos.
2022 年底，就在 outside 被禁止一年多后，他被 skArp 解禁。在他要求解禁的呼吁中，Outside 声称他发现了一个随机的作弊者，使用了一小时，然后删除了它。然而，根据他的故事，作弊不知何故留在了他的电脑上，并且每次他启动 CS 时都会自动激活。（任何有 CS 作弊经验的人都知道，在没有用户输入的情况下激活作弊并在重新启动系统后自动启动是多么奇怪，尤其是对于“你发现的随机作弊”。然后，他继续录制并提交了数十个 Demo，据称他不知道作弊在游戏和他的 Demo 中很活跃。

So, one day I was so tired of it that I've found some random cheat. [...] I played like an hour with cheat, then deleted it and forgot about that till my ban news. [...] As it turned out that cheat bugged somehow and remained in my game.
所以，有一天我厌倦了它，以至于我发现了一些随机的作弊。[...]我玩了大约一个小时的作弊游戏，然后删除了它，直到我的禁令消息才忘记了这件事。[...]事实证明，作弊以某种方式出现了错误，并留在了我的游戏中。

But it turns out that outside did not find a random cheat as he claimed, but instead got the cheat from a friend, meaning he lied in his appeal message.
但事实证明，外面并没有像他声称的那样随机找到作弊，而是从朋友那里得到了作弊，这意味着他在上诉信息中撒谎。

The dishonesty is hardly surprising, given that the appeal message was supposedly written by outside, but was actually written by brokoly pretending to be him. Also Phantometry was involved in writing the appeal message, allegedly just by helping outside with his poor English skills.
这种不诚实并不奇怪，因为上诉信息据说是由外部写的，但实际上是假装成他写的。此外，Phantometry 还参与了上诉信息的撰写，据称只是通过在外面帮助他糟糕的英语技能。

This information about outside's cheat and appeal message was revealed to me by two established persons in the community, who wished to stay anonymous and didn't want to make any comments.
这个关于外面的作弊和上诉信息的信息是由社区中的两个知名人士向我透露的，他们希望保持匿名，不想发表任何评论。

Former XJ demo admin said that some XJ team members didn't like the idea of skArp unbanning outside, and that these members expressed their frustration to skArp, but skArp unbanned outside anyway.
前 XJ demo 管理员表示，一些 XJ 团队成员不喜欢 skArp 在外面解禁的想法，这些成员向 skArp 表达了他们的不满，但 skArp 还是在外面解禁了。

It's no secret that skArp is a friend with these topoviygus, brokoly, outside guys. We [some people in the XJ team] also told skArp that it was a very stupid decision to let outside play again because the guy was clearly caught cheating. Although, in the history of KZ all sorts of bastards have been allowed to play again [after banning].
众所周知，skArp 是这些 topoviygus、brokoly、外部的家伙的朋友。我们 [XJ 团队中的一些人] 还告诉 skArp，让外面再次比赛是一个非常愚蠢的决定，因为那家伙显然被发现作弊了。虽然，在 KZ 的历史上，各种混蛋都被允许再次玩 [在被禁止之后]。

Why wasn't it made public that the unban appeal was not written by outside himself? Isn't that something people should know? Especially, when it was written by banned players, brokoly and Phantometry? Or that outside received the cheat from his friend?
为什么没有公开解禁呼吁不是他自己写的呢？这难道不是人们应该知道的事情吗？特别是，当它是由被禁止的玩家 brokoly 和 Phantometry 编写时？或者外面收到了他朋友的欺骗？
Did skArp unban outside because outside is his friend, and was the unban justified? Why does the community allow people who are close friends with known cheaters to be admins in their organizations?
skArp 在外面解禁是因为外面是他的朋友吗，解禁是否合理？为什么社区允许与已知作弊者是密友的人成为其组织的管理员？

Old-school player, who wished to stay anonymous, made a comment about the outside's case.
希望保持匿名的老派球员对 The Outside 的案件发表了评论。

Regarding the friend group of skArp, outside, topo, and brokoly... it's really suspicious when one of them works as the head demo checker while the others submit completely insane WRs, especially since half or more of them are known cheaters. I don't want to think badly of people or assume someone is cheating, but my trust in these guys isn't very high.
关于 skArp、outside、topo 和 brokoly 的朋友群......当他们中的一个担任首席演示检查器，而其他人提交完全疯狂的 WR 时，这真的很可疑，尤其是因为他们中有一半或更多是已知的作弊者。我不想对人有坏看法或假设有人在作弊，但我对这些人的信任度不是很高。

sekai recalls that outside started as a player who showed little skill, but suddenly improved drastically, leading to suspicions of cheating, despite the lack of proof.
Sekai 回忆说，Outside 开始时是一名技术不多的球员，但突然有了很大的进步，尽管缺乏证据，但还是导致了作弊的怀疑。

I remember when outside was just a noob, emerging from HNS like topo and brokoly. He was rather suspicious from the start—I recall him being terrible at KZ: with poor longjumps, bad bhopping, and generally seeming like a complete newbie. Nobody even paid attention to him. You can see his performance in the 2020 KZ-Rush Cup; he was garbage in that tournament. But then, just a few months later, he started smashing Cosy WRs, and people began calling him a cheater, though no proof was found at the time. I think it all started from some ddrun maps, which is especially suspicious because those don't really require any special skills; you just "pull the switch" and you're ready to beat anything.
我记得当外面只是一个菜鸟时，像 topo 和 brokoly 一样从 HNS 中脱颖而出。他从一开始就相当多疑——我记得他在 KZ 很糟糕：跳远很差，跳得很糟糕，而且通常看起来完全像个新手。甚至没有人注意他。你可以看到他在 2020 年 KZ-Rush 杯中的表现;他在那场比赛中是垃圾。但随后，仅仅几个月后，他就开始砸毁 Cosy WRs，人们开始称他为骗子，尽管当时没有找到任何证据。我认为这一切都始于一些 ddrun 地图，这尤其可疑，因为这些地图并不需要任何特殊技能;您只需 “拉动开关”，即可击败任何东西。

fykseN, legendary competitive KZ player, former head admin of Xtreme-Jumps, and top #1 ranked player in XJ in 2019, reflects on his journey in the KZ community, where he was active over a decade, while observing widespread cheating. He notes that cheating has been a significant issue since the game's inception, with many players resorting to dishonest methods to reach the top ranks.
fykseN 是传奇的竞技 KZ 玩家、Xtreme-Jumps 的前首席管理员和 2019 年 XJ 排名前 #1 的玩家，他回顾了他在 KZ 社区的旅程，他在那里活跃了十多年，同时观察到普遍的作弊行为。他指出，自游戏开始以来，作弊一直是一个重大问题，许多玩家采用不诚实的方法来达到顶级排名。

The complexity and time required to master KZ often drive players to seek shortcuts, rather than investing the necessary time and effort. He cited notorious cheaters like LyNn, VNS, and Nikita as examples, highlighting that these individuals and many others acquired their cheats from the HNS community, which is known for its widespread cheating culture.
掌握 KZ 所需的复杂性和时间通常会驱使玩家寻找捷径，而不是投入必要的时间和精力。他以 LyNn、VNS 和 Nikita 等臭名昭著的作弊者为例，强调这些人和许多其他人是从 HNS 社区获得的作弊，该社区以其广泛的作弊文化而闻名。
fykseN also highlights the roles of cheat developers Garey and juice, whom he sees as key figures behind the proliferation of cheats in the community.
fykseN 还强调了作弊开发者 Garey 和 juice 的作用，他认为他们是社区中作弊激增的关键人物。

I'll try to explain things from my perspective as a legitimate, competitive player. This November it will be exactly 9 years since my first WR on Xtreme-Jumps.
我将尝试从我作为一个合法的、有竞争力的玩家的角度来解释事情。今年 11 月，距离我在 Xtreme-Jumps 上的第一个 WR 整整 9 年。

Cheating has been a huge topic since the inception of KZ in general. We got many cheaters reaching the highest heights multiple times. It's the nature of the game that makes you want to cheat, it just takes too long to learn bhop. People look for shortcuts to not have to invest over 1K hours just to cover the basics. Great examples are LyNn, VNS (+eclipzh) and Nikita.
自 KZ 成立以来，作弊一直是一个巨大的话题。我们有很多作弊者多次达到最高高度。这是游戏的本质让你想作弊，学习 bhop 需要很长时间。人们寻找捷径，而不必投入超过 1K 小时来涵盖基础知识。很好的例子是 LyNn、VNS （+eclipzh） 和 Nikita。

All three (and many many more) got their cheats from HNS community, which is unfortunately infested to the core. People want to look cool playing HNS, doing insane LJ stats and whatnot. LyNn got his slowmotion hack there, VNS got his bhop hack there. The most involved and famous cheat programmers are Garey and juice. Just these two guys are responsible for a complete destruction of the game. I can tell you a bit more about LyNn or VNS if you want, but it's not really that relevant to what's happening now. Busting them with current tools would take me less time than writing the newspost about their ban. VNS and Nikita got their cheats from juice.
这三个人（以及更多人）都从 HNS 社区获得了他们的作弊，不幸的是，该社区已经被侵扰到了核心。人们想在玩 HNS 时看起来很酷，做疯狂的 LJ 统计数据等等。LyNn 在那里得到了他的慢动作黑客，VNS 在那里得到了他的 bhop 黑客。参与最多和最著名的作弊程序员是 Garey 和 juice。就这两个家伙要对游戏的彻底破坏负责。如果你愿意，我可以告诉你更多关于 LyNn 或 VNS 的信息，但它们与现在发生的事情并没有太大关系。用当前的工具打击他们比写关于他们禁令的新闻帖子花费的时间更少。VNS 和 Nikita 从 juice 中获得了他们的作弊。

In 2015 I got introduced with FAME. I'm pretty sure that we started talking because I thought that colcol was a hacker. He disproven that on the spot and we kinda stayed in touch. In 2017 I got invited to a teamspeak call with Toffifee, where he introduced me to Nikita. That's where I really started learning about cheats. Nikita was banned twice or three times + around 5 cheating multiaccounts on Cosy-Climbing. He introduced me to FPS patterns and other cheat detection. FAME then solidified my knowledge as the years went by. FAME was also cheating in the past, but at the time they were on the opposite side of the coin. juice then returned to the community around 2019 (after being banned for using cheats twice) and we are talking still to this day. He dropped his cheat programming and is now working for Fastcup. After FAME's death, he turned white hat, or rather became neutral.
2015 年，我被介绍给了 FAME。我很确定我们开始交谈是因为我认为 colcol 是个黑客。他当场反驳了这一点，我们有点保持联系。2017 年，我受邀参加与 Toffifee 的 teamspeak 电话会议，他向我介绍了 Nikita。那是我真正开始学习作弊的地方。Nikita 在 Cosy-Climbing 上被禁止了两到三次 + 大约 5 个作弊的多账户。他向我介绍了 FPS 模式和其他作弊检测。随着时间的推移，FAME 巩固了我的知识。FAME 过去也曾作弊，但当时他们处于硬币的对立面。然后 Juice 在 2019 年左右重返社区（在因两次使用作弊而被禁止后），直到今天我们仍在交谈。他放弃了他的作弊编程，现在为 Fastcup 工作。FAME 死后，他变成了白帽，或者更确切地说是变得中立。

Old-school player round believes cheating has long plagued Kreedz, with a turning point in 2013 when LyNn was banned, causing a lasting loss of trust in the community. Despite ongoing efforts, he believes some cheaters remain uncaught and have even gained recognition as top players. While he's not hopeful for immediate change, he still hopes that those deserving bans will eventually be exposed.
老派玩家回合认为作弊长期以来一直困扰着 Kreedz，2013 年出现转折点，当时 LyNn 被禁止，导致社区持久失去信任。尽管不断努力，但他认为一些作弊者仍然未被抓获，甚至获得了顶级玩家的认可。虽然他对立即改变不抱希望，但他仍然希望那些应得的禁令最终会被曝光。

I believe that cheating has always been a part of Kreedz, and it has significantly affected its development. To me, the turning point occurred in 2013 with the appearance of LyNn in the scene. Although he was eventually banned, in my opinion, things were never the same again. For me, that case symbolized a loss of trust in XJ, which was never fully restored.
我相信作弊一直是 Kreedz 的一部分，它极大地影响了它的发展。对我来说，转折点发生在 2013 年，LyNn 出现在场景中。虽然他最终被禁止了，但在我看来，事情再也不是原来一样了。对我来说，那次事件象征着对 XJ 的信任丧失，这种信任从未完全恢复。

Although the "Banned for Life" series is still ongoing (by the way, expect a new name to appear on that list very soon), there are still cheaters who have never been caught. Some of them have become very famous players and are considered among the best by others.
尽管“终身禁止”系列仍在进行中（顺便说一句，预计很快就会有新名字出现在该名单上），但仍有从未被抓到的作弊者。他们中的一些人已经成为非常著名的球员，并被其他人认为是最好的球员之一。

Currently, there aren't many indicators that things will change for the better, but I still hope that eventually, we will see the banlist include the names of those who have long deserved their place there.
目前，没有太多迹象表明情况会变得更好，但我仍然希望最终，我们会看到封禁名单包括那些长期以来应该在那里占有一席之地的人的名字。

2017, the modern cheating era begins, topoviygus emerges
2017 年，现代作弊时代开始，Topoviygus 出现

topoviygus, at the age of 14, first appeared in the KZ community during the 2017 Cosy Olympics, organized by Phantometry, then CEO of Cosy. Phantometry was a well-known cheater who was already banned on XJ, and a close friend of the prominent cheat developer Garey.
14 岁的 topoviygus 在 2017 年 Cosy 奥运会期间首次出现在 KZ 社区，该奥运会由时任 Cosy 首席执行官 Phantometry 组织。Phantometry 是一个著名的作弊者，已经在 XJ 上被封禁了，也是著名的作弊开发者 Garey 的密友。
Phantometry announced a four-man team to the Surf Olympics called "TpaXePbI", consisting of:
Phantometry 宣布了一支名为“TpaXePbI”的四人冲浪奥运会团队，其中包括：

• vladdEftw (aka. translucent)
  vladdEftw（又名。半透明）

• BuTaMuH  布塔穆

• Phantometry  幻影

• topoviygus

Phantometry and his teammates were hyping topoviygus as "a god tier HNS player". This should sound extremely suspicious since everyone knew that the HNS community is full of cheaters, as it was for example pointed in outside's appeal; "[...] and a well-known fact about hns scene is that 98% of players are cheating."
Phantometry 和他的队友们将 topoviygus 炒作为“神级 HNS 玩家”。这听起来应该非常可疑，因为每个人都知道 HNS 社区到处都是骗子，例如在 Outside 的呼吁中指出了这一点;"[...]关于 HNS 场景的一个众所周知的事实是 98% 的玩家都在作弊。

The money collected for the 2017 Cosy Olympics event was supposed to be donated to the community, but instead Phantometry stole the money for himself. Finally, after this, Phantometry was removed from Cosy's administration, and "the most important thread ever", as fykseN describes it, was posted on Cosy.
为 2017 年 Cosy Olympics 活动筹集的钱本应捐赠给社区，但 Phantometry 却把钱偷走了。最后，在此之后，Phantometry 从 Cosy 的管理中被移除，正如 fykseN 所描述的那样，“有史以来最重要的帖子”被发布在 Cosy 上。

In this post, FAME made a major exposé, revealing that Phantometry was using Garey's cheats and how Phantometry was submitting and releasing these cheated demos on Cosy.
在这篇文章中，FAME 进行了一次重大揭露，揭示了 Phantometry 正在使用 Garey 的作弊功能，以及 Phantometry 如何在 Cosy 上提交和发布这些作弊的演示。

Garey confirms FAME's conclusions and states that he was the person who gave the cheats to Phantometry. Garey says that some of his friends told to him that "it would be fun to beat some "unbeatable" maps" which led Garey to share his cheat creations with some of his friends. Garey ends his message by apologizing to Phantometry for the cheating becoming public and stating that he cannot lie about it anymore.
Garey 证实了 FAME 的结论，并表示他是将作弊者交给 Phantometry 的人。Garey 说，他的一些朋友告诉他“击败一些”不可战胜“的地图会很有趣”，这导致 Garey 与他的一些朋友分享了他的作弊作品。Garey 在信息结束时向 Phantometry 道歉，因为作弊行为被公开，并表示他不能再撒谎了。

All what said FAME is true, my passion to coding going too far... I was planned to only record videos to youtube and when show my hax to "friends", one of them said its will be fun to beat some "unbeatable" maps... but i dont have such skill even for recorded segments run so my "friend" (Phantometry) was recorded all that demos, sorry Phant but truth will be appeared, and i dont wanna lie about this...
所有所说的 FAME 都是真的，我对编码的热情太过分了......我本来打算只把视频录制到 youtube 上，当向“朋友”展示我的 hax 时，其中一个说击败一些“不可战胜”的地图会很有趣......但是我没有这样的技能，即使对于录制的片段运行，所以我的“朋友”（Phantometry）被录制了所有的演示，对不起，Phant，但真相会出现，我不想在这件事上撒谎......

Phantometry himself also commented on the post. His comments were extremely inappropriate and somewhat deranged, considering that he was the CEO of Cosy during that time.
Phantometry 本人也对该帖子发表了评论。他的评论非常不恰当，而且有些疯狂，考虑到他在那段时间是 Cosy 的首席执行官。

It was so obvious that demo is cheated but guess what? I didn't care at that point.
很明显 demo 被骗了，但你猜怎么着？那时我不在乎。

I don't really care anymore. And yeah, I don't.
我真的不在乎了。是的，我没有。

Phantometry states in his comments that he wanted to make his friend vladdEftw angry by taking his records with demos submitted from a noob account called Nyantillus.
Phantometry 在他的评论中表示，他想通过拿走他的记录来让他的朋友 vladdEftw 生气，这些记录是从一个名为 Nyantillus 的菜鸟帐户提交的演示。

I can only imagine how hard of a butthurth he would get after seeing that some random Nyantillus kiddo took all his maps.
我只能想象，当他看到某个随机的 Nyantillus 孩子拿走了他所有的地图后，他会受到多大的打击。

Anyways, I feel so sorry for people who have spent countless hours geeking this fucking worthless game.
无论如何，我为那些花了无数小时搞这个他妈的毫无价值的游戏的人感到非常抱歉。

I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT DUDE, AIN'T NOBODY PAYS ME MONEY FOR WHAT I DO. I CAN QUIT AT ANY FUCKING TIME I WANT AND COME BACK WHENEVER I WANT. MY SCHEDULE IS 100% FLEXIBLE AND DEPENDS ON ME AND ME ONLY. So you, FAME, and any other person who will talk about 'repsonsibilities', 'mature acting', 'behaviour' and all that bullshit, can go fuck himself and eat his own shit.
我可以做任何我想做的事，伙计，不是没有人为我所做的付钱。我他妈的可以在任何我想退出的时间退出，随时回来。我的日程安排是 100% 灵活的，只取决于我自己。所以你，FAME，以及任何其他会谈论 “repsonsiibilityities”、“mature acting”、“behaviour” 和所有那些狗屁的人，都可以去他妈的，吃他自己的狗屎。

After all this, FAME took over as head demo admin for Cosy and XJ, and he cleaned most of the cheaters.
在这一切之后，FAME 接任了 Cosy 和 XJ 的首席演示管理员，他清理了大部分作弊者。
Also topoviygus took a break and wasn't seen submitting any demos during 2018-2019. However, people were quietly wondering how the nonamer emerged in KZ.
此外，topoviygus 休息了一段时间，在 2018-2019 年期间没有被看到提交任何演示。然而，人们静静地想知道 nonamer 是如何出现在 KZ 的。

Many prominent KZ players have privately shared similar stories with me about how topoviygus's rise to prominence was surrounded by extreme suspicion.
许多著名的 KZ 玩家私下里与我分享了类似的故事，讲述了托波维格斯的崛起是如何被极端怀疑所包围的。

fykseN describes the challenges in XJ during 2018-2019 and how he became the head admin of XJ alongside hoLy.
fykseN 描述了 XJ 在 2018-2019 年期间面临的挑战，以及他如何与 hoLy 一起成为 XJ 的首席管理员。

In late 2018, big issues with XJ emerged. We wanted to get rid of head administration as they were ruining the community. It was CyclopP (COO) and faker (CEO). They used donated money for personal gains and CyclopP was overall a horrible admin.
2018 年底，XJ 出现了大问题。我们想摆脱行政主管，因为他们正在破坏社区。他们是 CyclopP（首席运营官）和 faker（首席执行官）。他们用捐款谋取私利，而 CyclopP 总体上是一个糟糕的管理员。

With help of p0ker, Commandeer and shooting-star, we managed to enter a talking phase. Only two people running for CEO was hoLy and me (captains of insilio and kz-random). I already had a fulltime job and hoLy didn't, so I used all I had to put him in that CEO spot. We all voted for him and I became a COO. He let me be the face of XJ as he didn't want to be involved with people too much, so I took it very seriously and started establishing connections with CS:GO KZ and other streamers from different movement games.
在 p0ker、Commandeer 和 shooting-star 的帮助下，我们设法进入了谈话阶段。只有两个人竞选 CEO 是 hoLy 和我（insilio 和 kz-random 的队长）。我已经有一份全职工作了，而 hoLy 没有，所以我用尽了我所拥有的一切，让他担任 CEO 职位。我们都投票给他，我成为了首席运营官。他让我成为 XJ 的代言人，因为他不想过多地与人交往，所以我非常认真地对待它，并开始与 CS：GO KZ 和其他来自不同运动游戏的主播建立联系。

fykseN continues by recounting the challenges he faced in the competitive gaming scene during the COVID-19 pandemic. He returned to PC gaming in mid-2020 thanks to friends who sent him a computer. As an XJ admin, he initially avoided discussing topoviygus. However, the situation escalated when his close friend and fellow competitor, shooting-star, retired due to harassments. This controversy polarized the community, framing it as a clash between Czech and Russian players, and dragged fykseN into the fray due to his association with shooting-star. In response, fykseN connected with a former rival, shNz, to form MK-Ultra, a group aimed at reclaiming the leaderboard.
fykseN 继续讲述了他在 COVID-19 大流行期间在竞技游戏领域面临的挑战。多亏了给他送了一台电脑的朋友，他在 2020 年年中重返 PC 游戏。作为 XJ 管理员，他最初避免讨论 topoviygus。然而，当他的密友和竞争对手 Shooting-Star 因骚扰而退役时，情况升级了。这场争议使社区两极分化，将其定性为捷克和俄罗斯玩家之间的冲突，并由于 fykseN 与 Shooting-star 的联系而将 fykseN 拖入了争论。作为回应，fykseN 与前竞争对手 shNz 合作成立了 MK-Ultra，这是一个旨在夺回排行榜的团体。

I got my hands on a PC again halfway through 2020, my friends sent it to me during covid. As an admin, I didn't want to talk about topoviygus publicly at all. Unfortunately, shooting-star couldn't stand the idea of battling a cheater on his home turf. It was a mess...........
我在 2020 年中期再次拿到了 PC，我的朋友在 covid 期间把它寄给了我。作为管理员，我根本不想公开谈论 topoviygus。不幸的是，流星无法忍受在他的地盘上与作弊者作战的想法。一团糟...........

shooting-star retired from competition and just watched his demo count plummet because of topoviygus, who targeted him for the allegations. I was associated with shooting-star, therefore I got caught in crossfire. People just took it as CZ vs Russia. They didn't want to understand that there is a merit to recording that only top players understand. topoviygus pumped demos too effortlessly and I naturally started studying his game.
Shooting-Star 退出了比赛，只是眼睁睁地看着他的演示数量因为 Topoviygus 而直线下降，因为 Topoviygus 将他的指控作为目标。我与 Shooting-star 有关，因此我陷入了交火。人们只是把它当作 CZ vs Russia。他们不想明白，只有顶级玩家才能理解录音的好处。topoviygus 毫不费力地抽取了演示，我自然而然地开始研究他的游戏。

I re-linked with shNz (who I had a horrible fight with when I became top1). We created a group called MK-Ultra. It was supposed to be a project of greatness, essentially the best players combining their powers. We ended up releasing the biggest amount of records possible.
我重新与 shNz 联系（当我成为 top1 时，我和他发生了一场可怕的争吵）。我们创建了一个名为 MK-Ultra 的组。这本来应该是一个伟大的项目，本质上是最好的球员结合他们的力量。我们最终发行了尽可能多的唱片。

Then I became a top1 player again. The hate towards me and other established players was rising, more cheaters emerged to "show us". Cosy was completely overwhelmed by cheaters without anyone to remove them. They started leaking into XJ and we had a lot of mess to deal with.
然后我又成为了 top1 玩家。对我和其他老牌玩家的仇恨越来越大，越来越多的作弊者出现来 “向我们展示”。Cosy 完全被作弊者淹没了，没有人可以消除他们。它们开始泄漏到 XJ 中，我们有很多混乱需要处理。

fykseN delves into topoviygus, highlighting how his playing style evolved over time. With each new release, topoviygus employed fewer strafes and scrolls, significantly improving the quality and number of his records. A notable milestone was when topoviygus took the fu_extreme map from shooting-star, a feat that fykseN still finds astonishing. Despite fykseN's efforts to compete, the relentless pace set by topoviygus left him disheartened and contemplating quitting.
fykseN 深入研究了 topoviygus，强调了他的演奏风格是如何随着时间的推移而演变的。在每次新版本中，托波维格斯都使用了更少的扫射和卷轴，显著提高了他记录的质量和数量。一个值得注意的里程碑是 topoviygus 从 shooting-star 手中拿走了 fu_extreme 地图，这一壮举让 fykseN 仍然感到惊讶。尽管 fykseN 努力参加比赛，但 topoviygus 设定的无情速度让他心灰意冷并考虑退出。

His style started changing with every release, he started doing less strafes, many less scrolls than in the past (9+). The amount of maps and the quality of previous records was rising. He took fu_extreme from shooting-star which is still an insane landmark when I think about it. We couldn't catch up at all and I didn't want to play anymore.
他的风格随着每次发布而开始改变，他开始减少扫射，比过去少得多的卷轴 （9+）。地图的数量和以前记录的质量都在上升。他从 Shooting-star 那里拿走了 fu_extreme，现在回想起来，这仍然是一个疯狂的里程碑。我们根本无法赶上，我不想再玩了。

The idiot that I am, I still invested countless hours to do more records, tried co-existing with topoviygus. It didn't work out, he was holding a grudge because I wouldn't stop poking into his friends. Huge thread from Phantometry emerged maybe in 2021. It was about him creating a perfect neural cheat that topoviygus is using (neurogus). It was a retarded bait, but still he admitted to using him as a cheating puppet.
我这个白痴，我还是投入了无数时间做更多的唱片，尝试与 topoviygus 共存。没有成功，他怀恨在心，因为我不停地戳他的朋友。Phantometry 的巨大线索可能在 2021 年出现。这是关于他创造了一个完美的神经作弊，topoviygus 正在使用 （neurogus）。这是一个智障诱饵，但他仍然承认把他当作作弊的傀儡。

I was stalked on XJ, on servers, in tournaments and discord. It was unbearable.
我在 XJ、服务器、锦标赛和 Discord 上被跟踪。这真是难以忍受。

fykseN then stepped down from XJ.
fykseN 随后从 XJ 辞职。

I believe that people on the high level are using private cheats. On a cheating forum, some guy was advertising his private KZ hack, saying that his users are already established top players on XJ and Cosy.
我相信高层人士正在使用私人作弊。在一个作弊论坛上，有人在宣传他的私人 KZ hack，说他的用户已经是 XJ 和 Cosy 上的知名玩家。

He has now moved into surfing and is enjoying it a lot.
他现在已经开始冲浪，并且非常喜欢它。

Early 2022 I got into surf and I'm currently doing bonus records and completion on surfheaven. There is no toxicity or cheaters.
2022 年初，我开始冲浪，目前正在 surfheaven 上做奖励记录和完成。没有毒性或作弊者。

In mid-2022 fykseN published a video on his YouTube channel, where he shows a demo from 2021 that he obtained from Cosy, marking the first confirmed use of Garey's segment hack since it was first used by Phantometry in 2017. skArp removed the demo from Cosy without any official mention.
2022 年年中，fykseN 在他的 YouTube 频道上发布了一段视频，他在视频中展示了他从 Cosy 获得的 2021 年演示，这是自 2017 年 Phantometry 首次使用 Garey 的片段黑客攻击以来首次确认使用该漏洞。skArp 在没有任何官方提及的情况下从 Cosy 中删除了该演示。

sekai recalls topoviygus's sudden and suspicious rise to prominence in the KZ community. Despite lacking top-tier skills before disappearing in 2017, he returned in 2019 with remarkable confidence and quickly began dominating challenging maps, leading many experienced players to suspect him of cheating.
sekai 回忆起 Topoviygus 在 KZ 社区中突然而可疑地崛起。尽管在 2017 年消失之前缺乏顶级技能，但他在 2019 年以非凡的信心回归，并迅速开始统治具有挑战性的地图，导致许多经验丰富的玩家怀疑他作弊。

Some topo supporters might say: "Haha! People who claim that topo is a cheater are just crybabies who can't come to terms with someone being better than them." But when topo emerged, I remember it very well – I knew him from HNS. When he came back at the very end of 2019, believe it or not, I was the first to speak to him in kz-rush server. I remember asking him, "Hey dude, what have you been up to?" When we'd discuss KZ, he'd say things like "I'm gonna beat map X, map Y", including fu_sane, which, if I'm not mistaken, belonged to shooting-star at the time. I told him, "Yo bro, you can't be so sure of that", because, objectively speaking, saying you'd own shooting-star easily like it's nothing is way too presumptuous. You'd either have to be delusional, trolling like pepi, a tier-one player, or a cheater.
一些 topo 支持者可能会说：“哈哈！声称 topo 是骗子的人只是爱哭的孩子，无法接受有人比他们更好。但是当 topo 出现时，我记得很清楚——我在 HNS 认识他。当他在 2019 年底回来时，信不信由你，我是第一个在 kz-rush 服务器中与他交谈的人。我记得我问他，“嘿，伙计，你最近在做什么？当我们讨论 KZ 时，他会说“我要打败地图 X，地图 Y”之类的话，包括 fu_sane，如果我没记错的话，这在当时属于 Shooting-star。我告诉他，“哟，兄弟，你不能这么确定”，因为，客观地说，你很容易就拥有流星，就像它什么都没一样，这太自以为是了。你要么是妄想症，要么像 pepi 一样挑衅，要么是一线玩家，要么是作弊者。

Well, considering he shortly did beat fu_sane, it turns out topo wasn't delusional. But it's still hard for me to believe that he was a tier-one player and was so confident from the start. He had some WRs from 2017, sure, and they were promising. But then he vanished, so I have no idea why he would have such an unshaken confidence about his godlike skills as soon as he returned. His 2017 times didn't seem like those of a tier-one player on hard maps. I remember his run on wnkz_firsty_v2 — he did PRO in 57 minutes in 2017 in KZ-Rush. That's very impressive, of course, but it's nowhere near what he'd become in 2019, seemingly out of nowhere.
好吧，考虑到他很快就打败了fu_sane，事实证明 topo 并不是妄想症。但我仍然很难相信他是一名一线球员，并且从一开始就如此自信。他有一些 2017 年的 WR，当然，它们很有前途。但后来他就消失了，所以我不知道为什么他一回来就对自己神一般的技能如此坚定不移的信心。他在 2017 年的成绩似乎不像硬地图上的一线玩家。我记得他在 wnkz_firsty_v2 上的表现——他在 2017 年的 KZ-Rush 中用 57 分钟完成了 PRO。当然，这非常令人印象深刻，但这与他在 2019 年所成为的相去甚远，似乎是凭空而来的。

Then he started smashing those hard climb maps, and I thought to myself: "Alright, we've got this talented god or whatever – probably a cheater – but at least he can't bhop." However then he pulled off some crazy dyd_bhop times. I thought to myself, is this guy bad at anything?
然后他开始砸碎那些困难的攀登地图，我心想：“好吧，我们有这个才华横溢的神或者别的什么——可能是一个骗子——但至少他不会 bhop。然而，随后他完成了一些疯狂的 dyd_bhop 次。我心想，这家伙是不是有什么坏事？

He went on to take a lot of Cosy-Climbing WRs, speedmaps mainly, and eventually came to XJ. Then shooting-star, fykseN, and others started speaking out. The chronology might not be perfect, but that's roughly how it all happened.
他继续参加了很多 Cosy-Climbing WRs，主要是速度图，最终来到了 XJ。然后 shooting-star、fykseN 和其他人开始发声。年表可能并不完美，但大致就是这样发生的。

I was among the ones that accused topo of cheating as well. What I noticed was that most of the players with little skill were idolizing topo, with their childish mindset. However, the truly skilled players who spent a significant part of their lives in this game can truly feel the skill level, saw that it was just unrealistic.
我也是指责 topo 作弊的人之一。我注意到的是，大多数技术不高的玩家都以他们幼稚的心态崇拜 topo。然而，真正熟练的玩家，在这款游戏中度过了他们生命中的大部分时间，才能真正感受到技能水平，看到这根本不现实。

Understanding the level of skill in KZ is like understanding the height of mountains – if you've never climbed one, 2,000 meters and 4,000 meters seem the same to you. You know second is twice as tall, but you can't fully grasp the difference. The same goes for skill in KZ. The newbies and the general majority of the players, who idolized topo, couldn't feel the skill gap between him and everyone else. Meanwhile, most of the pros, being at the peak of their game, recognized how suspicious and unrealistic it all was.
了解 KZ 的技能水平就像了解山的高度——如果你从未爬过山，那么 2,000 米和 4,000 米对你来说似乎是一样的。你知道第二名是两倍高，但你无法完全理解其中的差异。KZ 的技能也是如此。新人和大多数崇拜 topo 的玩家都感觉不到他和其他人的技能差距。与此同时，大多数职业选手正处于游戏的巅峰时期，认识到这一切是多么可疑和不切实际。

Interesting point to note is the correlation between Phantometry's idea of "beating unbeatable maps"–a concept he found amusing and even managed to accomplish in the past without detection (at least, not until FAME's exposé)–and topoviygus's grand ambitions to beat records on certain hard maps shortly after his unexpected return in 2019. Also the Phantometry's thread about using topoviygus as a "cheating puppet," is rather interesting coincidence in the overall picture.
有趣的一点是，Phantometry 的“击败无敌地图”的想法——这个概念他觉得很有趣，甚至在过去设法在没有被发现的情况下完成了（至少，直到 FAME 曝光）——与 topoviygus 在 2019 年意外回归后不久打破某些困难地图记录的宏伟雄心之间的相关性。此外，Phantometry 关于使用 topoviygus 作为“作弊傀儡”的帖子，在整体画面中是相当有趣的巧合。

Phantometry's and Garey's comments
Phantometry 和 Garey 的评论

I managed to get hold of both Phantometry and Garey.
我设法联系到了 Phantometry 和 Garey。

When asked about the neurogus thread, Phantrometry says it was obviously a troll, but creating an AI-based anti-cheat is a feasible possibility.
当被问及 neurogus 线程时，Phantrometry 表示这显然是一个喷子，但创建一个基于 AI 的反作弊是一个可行的可能性。

Well, the neurogus was obviously a troll, but the conception is still there. While it's impossible to create something like that (completion of KZ map with AI tools, live AI gameplay on servers) due to the certain limitations, the possibility of, let's say creating an AI anticheat is more than real.
嗯，神经虫显然是一个喷子，但概念仍然存在。虽然由于某些限制而无法创建这样的东西（使用 AI 工具完成 KZ 地图，在服务器上进行实时 AI 游戏），但比方说创建 AI 反作弊的可能性非常真实。

I asked Phantometry who Garey gave cheats to.
我问 Phantometry Garey 给谁作弊。

hönö dille: Did Garey give his cheats to other players as well apart from you?
hönö dille： Garey 有没有把他的作弊也给了除了你之外的其他玩家？

Phantometry: Yes.
Phantometry：是的。

hönö dille: Can you name the players?
hönö dille： 您能说出球员的名字吗？

Phantometry: Sorry, can't do that.
Phantometry： 抱歉，不能那样做。

I then asked Phantometry to provide a more general comment about cheating and corruption, as well as his experiences with KZ.
然后，我要求 Phantometry 提供关于作弊和腐败的更一般性评论，以及他在 KZ 的经历。

I got my hands on 0test.amxx back in 2010 or 2011, I don’t remember the exact time. It was passed around by some people and I got it from Juhx, the old Cosy admin from Russia. I tested it, did some jumps, and recorded a few hard demos with it too. Some of them got into a few edits and that’s when IceVip approached me. He was making a movie called The Compilation. He wanted me to be in it, but the demo requirements were quite hardcore for me back in the day. I was just a kid trying to be on the front page of XJ, and it was like a dream come true. I could land the jump by myself if I had enough time, but there wasn’t. IceVip needed the demo ASAP and I simply haven’t had enough time to perform it. Thus, I recorded it with the 0test.amxx in a few attempts and got caught by eDark since the cheat itself is extremely easy to detect. From that point on it went downhill, and I did lots of different things that I am not proud of. As I look back and ask myself why I did it? I was just a kid trying to make a name for myself in the KZ scene and become ‘famous’. It’s so funny to me now because the reason is so childish and useless even. I guess your perspective indeed changes when you become older.
我在 2010 年或 2011 年拿到了 0test.amxx，我不记得确切的时间了。它被一些人传开了，我从来自俄罗斯的 Cosy 老管理员 Juhx 那里得到了它。我测试了它，做了一些跳跃，也用它录制了一些困难的演示。他们中的一些人进行了一些编辑，就在这时 IceVip 找到了我。他当时正在拍一部叫《汇编》（The Compilation）的电影。他希望我参与其中，但演示要求在当时对我来说是相当硬核的。我只是一个试图登上 XJ 头版的孩子，这就像梦想成真一样。如果我有足够的时间，我可以自己跳伞，但没有。IceVip 需要尽快进行演示，而我只是没有足够的时间来执行它。因此，我在几次尝试中用 0test.amxx 记录了它，并被 eDark 抓住了，因为作弊本身非常容易检测到。从那时起，它走下坡路，我做了很多不同的事情，但我并不为此感到自豪。当我回首往事并问自己为什么要这样做时？我只是一个试图在 KZ 场景中扬名立万并“出名”的孩子。现在对我来说太有趣了，因为理由是如此幼稚，甚至毫无用处。我想当你长大后，你的观点确实会改变。

While being a CEO of Cosy I did a few good things I think, or at least I tried. But in the end, it all felt pointless. Spending so much time on a game instead of doing actual things that matter IRL is my biggest regret now that I’m older. Speaking about using and testing cheats with Garey or whoever else, it never happened the way you might think happened. Yes, I already knew lots of people from both the cheating and demo admin scene at the time, and Garey was one of the guys. He introduced me to the new tool he made at the time, and I felt like recording some demos with it. The plan was to beat Translucent's records and then restore them and ban the account I cheated from. He was a buddy of mine and I knew that seeing all his records beaten by some random dude would trigger him so much, make him talk shit to me and rage like hell. Besides, he hated cheaters then, really hated them. It was a funny time in the HNS scene and people used to troll a lot, that’s what I wanted to do as well. Was it foolish and childish? Of course. But that’s who I was at the time, just a kid doing stupid things. Do I regret doing it? You can say so, but in the end, I didn’t care much since I was about to step off and separate myself from KZ.
在担任 Cosy 的 CEO 期间，我做了一些我认为的好事，或者至少我尝试过。但到最后，这一切都感觉毫无意义。花这么多时间在游戏上而不是做现实生活中重要的事情是我现在最大的遗憾，因为我年纪大了。说到与 Garey 或其他任何人一起使用和测试作弊，它从未像你想象的那样发生。是的，当时我已经认识很多来自作弊和演示管理员场景的人，而 Garey 就是其中之一。他向我介绍了他当时制作的新工具，我想用它录制一些演示。我的计划是打破 Translucent 的记录，然后恢复它们并禁止我作弊的帐户。他是我的朋友，我知道看到他所有的记录都被某个随机的家伙打破会让他非常兴奋，让他对我说狗屎，然后像地狱一样愤怒。此外，他那时讨厌骗子，真的讨厌他们。那是 HNS 场景中的一段有趣的时光，人们过去经常挑衅，这也是我想做的事情。这是愚蠢和幼稚的吗？答案是肯定的。但那时我就是个样子，只是一个做蠢事的孩子。我后悔这样做吗？你可以这么说，但到头来，我并不怎么在意，因为我即将下车并与 KZ 分开。

Phantometry thinks there are some suspicious players in the KZ scene, but he's no longer involved with the scene.
Phantometry 认为 KZ 场景中有一些可疑的玩家，但他不再参与该场景。

I don’t follow the KZ scene as much as I did back in the day, so I can’t say for sure. But there are a couple of suspicious guys around, at least for me. But once again, I am done with KZ and won’t spend any time speculating about who’s cheating or who’s not. You have plenty of demo admins for that.
我不像以前那样关注 KZ 场景，所以我不能肯定地说。但周围有几个可疑的家伙，至少对我来说是这样。但再一次，我已经厌倦了 KZ，不会花任何时间猜测谁在作弊，谁没有。您有很多演示管理员。

Phantometry tells how cheats used to be widely shared and misused, with 50-70% of players using the same hacks, creating chaos in HNS. In KZ, some cheats were specifically developed and kept updated for certain players, with various types of hacks being recorded and tested. He tells how he was involved in developing and keeping hacks undetected and says he never shared them.
Phantometry 讲述了作弊行为过去是如何被广泛分享和滥用的，50-70% 的玩家使用相同的黑客方法，在 HNS 中造成混乱。在 KZ 中，一些作弊程序是专门为某些玩家开发并保持更新的，并记录和测试了各种类型的黑客攻击。他讲述了自己是如何参与开发并保持黑客攻击不被发现的，并表示他从未分享过这些黑客攻击。

Now, here’s some other information. Cheats used to be passed like cookies back in the day. People used to share them like it was nothing. At one point it got so bad that pretty much 50-70% of the server was using the same Bhop or GS cheat, and the game was a complete mess. But that’s HNS. Speaking about KZ, some folks developed hacks for specific players and kept them updated. People recorded numerous records with different types of hacks. Other developers only tested and pushed the boundaries of what was known and only shared them with a very limited number of individuals. I was one of them, and it was quite a fascinating thing to be a part of. Realizing that there’s much more to cheating than Bhop hack or Groundstrafe hack. Then try to develop it, make and keep it undetected for as long as you can, etc. Speaking about hacks. Bhop hacks, gain plugins, ground strafe hacks, map modification tools to change High Jump into Long Jump, various HUDs, prestrafe helpers, perfect block conditions during specific jumps, mouse position correctors, etc. I did them all. Some things I just mentioned are well-known to the public, and some of them were never heard before. However, whatever you might think of me, even though I developed tons of different things and had an entire collection of various hacks, I never shared them with anybody. The only time I did was a Knife Bot for Translucent. He ended up playing with it for 2 hours and never used it in the end. On the other hand, some people pass hacks to even the most random dudes out there. And god only knows what they might do with it.
现在，这里有一些其他信息。过去，作弊者就像饼干一样被传递。人们过去常常分享它们，就像它没什么一样。有一次它变得如此糟糕，以至于几乎 50-70% 的服务器都在使用相同的 Bhop 或 GS 作弊，游戏完全一团糟。但那是 HNS。说到 KZ，有些人为特定玩家开发了 hacks 并让他们保持更新。人们记录了大量具有不同类型黑客攻击的记录。其他开发人员只测试和突破已知内容的界限，并且只与非常有限数量的人共享它们。我是他们中的一员，成为其中的一员是一件非常有趣的事情。意识到作弊不仅仅是 Bhop hack 或 Groundstrafe hack。然后尝试开发它，制造并尽可能长时间地保持不被发现，等等。说到黑客。Bhop 黑客、增益插件、地面扫射黑客、将 High Jump 更改为 Long Jump 的地图修改工具、各种 HUD、prestrafe 助手、特定跳跃期间的完美块条件、鼠标位置校正器等。我都做了。我刚才提到的有些事情是众所周知的，有些是以前从未听说过的。然而，无论你怎么看我，即使我开发了大量不同的东西并拥有一整套各种黑客，我也从未与任何人分享过它们。我唯一一次做的是 Translucent 的 Knife Bot。他最终玩了 2 个小时，最后再也没有使用它。另一方面，有些人甚至将黑客传递给最随机的家伙。而上帝只知道他们会用它做什么。

Garey gave only brief comments.
Garey 只给出了简短的评论。

My first hack was private for only one person, but he didn't have any success in KZ records. Some people still PM me about KZ hacks, but I ignore them.
我的第一次黑客攻击只对一个人保密，但他在 KZ 记录方面没有任何成功。有些人仍然私信我关于 KZ 黑客攻击，但我忽略了他们。

Asked about cheating and corruption in general, Garey says he stopped following the KZ scene after 2019.
当被问及一般的作弊和腐败时，Garey 说他在 2019 年之后就不再关注 KZ 的场景。

I haven't followed the KZ scene since 2019, and I don't really know anything about admins. The only person I trusted was FAME...
自 2019 年以来，我就没有关注过 KZ 场景，我对管理员一无所知。我唯一信任的人是 FAME......

The actual cheats  实际的作弊

There are few accessible cheats that are used in KZ. One of them is made by Garey. One of the cheats mentions patchuoli[sic] and topoviygus in the cheat's credits – it could be that their stats just have been used as a reference, or the cheat developer put the names there to troll, or that they are just straight up the users of the cheat.
KZ 中使用的可访问作弊程序很少。其中之一是由 Garey 制作的。其中一个作弊者在作弊的演职员表中提到了 patchuoli[sic] 和 topoviygus——可能是他们的统计数据只是被用作参考，或者作弊开发者把这些名字放在那里给喷子，或者他们只是直接成为作弊的用户。

kilabeez, the creator of one of the most widely used cheats in KZ, allegedly used a fake name to boast on cheating forums about how his cheat is undetectable and how top players in the KZ community are using it.
kilabeez 是 KZ 中使用最广泛的作弊程序之一的创建者，据称他使用假名在作弊论坛上吹嘘他的作弊行为如何无法被发现，以及 KZ 社区的顶级玩家如何使用它。

Shall you need a perfect hack, undetectable with demo checkers, hack detectors and so on - it will be provided to you. [...] P.S there are guys in the leaderboard of kreedz communities with WR and so on that are there with our help
如果您需要一个完美的 hack，无法使用演示检查器、hack 检测器等进行检测 - 它将为您提供。[...]P.S 在 kreedz 社区的排行榜上有一些拥有 WR 的人等等，他们在我们的帮助下

Johnny says that people have limited way of seeing cheating.
约翰尼说，人们看待作弊的方式有限。

My own thought on speculative cheating accusations is that many people have a really limited imagination about cheats, they think that slowmode, xHack, Kzh can be easily busted, so no one can cheat anymore. The possibilities for cheats are basically limitless.
我自己对投机性作弊指控的看法是，很多人对作弊的想象真的很有限，他们认为慢模式、xHack、Kzh 很容易被破解，所以没有人可以再作弊了。作弊的可能性基本上是无限的。

fykseN thinks cheats are just way too advanced to be detected.
fykseN 认为作弊太高级了，无法被发现。

Cheats are too advanced nowadays... Some people really tweaked their cheats too much, but there is a perfect balance and randomness that won't get you banned.
现在的作弊太高级了......有些人真的对他们的作弊进行了太多的调整，但有一个完美的平衡和随机性不会让你被禁止。

To put things into perspective on how difficult it would be to create an undetectable cheat, a developer in the XJ team says that it would probably take about a few months for a decent programmer with a good understanding of the Half-Life engine and KZ to make an undetectable cheat, given the current anti-cheat measures.
为了正确看待创建无法检测的作弊程序有多困难，XJ 团队的一位开发人员表示，考虑到当前的反作弊措施，一个对《半条命》引擎和 KZ 有充分了解的体面程序员可能需要几个月的时间才能做出无法检测的作弊。

A mapper and a developer arte de la puerta, shares some interesting insights on cheats that could forge demo and map files.
一位制图师和开发人员 arte de la puerta 分享了一些关于可以伪造演示和地图文件的作弊的有趣见解。

I don't know much about real-time cheats because, personally, I'm not a good enough player to judge other people. What I know a lot more about are cheats inside demos. Since a demo is just data - and data is just data - people can easily forge it. Lots of things could be forged in a demo.
我对实时作弊了解不多，因为就我个人而言，我不是一个足够好的玩家来评判其他人。我更了解的是演示中的作弊。由于演示只是数据 - 而数据只是数据 - 人们很容易伪造它。很多东西都可以在演示中锻造。

Recently, it occurred to me that if a cheater has the source file of a map, they can nerf the map, play on that nerfed version, then record the gameplay. The demo can then be made to work on the original version of the map. That's one method. I think I've demonstrated this before, but you can also forge text in a demo so that your demo appears faster. Then, by subtracting some frames, you can keep it consistent. The potential for this is pretty crazy. That sounds like the kind of tool I would make because it's wild, but I don't think anyone else is dedicated enough to cheat like that.
最近，我突然想到，如果作弊者拥有地图的源文件，他们可以削弱地图，在那个被削弱的版本上玩，然后录制游戏玩法。然后，该演示可以在地图的原始版本上运行。这是一种方法。我想我之前已经演示过这一点，但您也可以在 demo 中伪造文本，以便您的 demo 显示得更快。然后，通过减去一些帧，您可以保持一致。这种可能性非常疯狂。这听起来像是我会做的那种工具，因为它很疯狂，但我认为没有其他人足够专注于这样的作弊。

Creating a tool to modify demos involves a lot of work, but it isn't that hard because I've already made one. It's pretty much up to one's imagination - and determination - to create an effective cheat. I've brought up these issues with other people before, but so far, I seem to be the only one with enough malice to think about such applications. Maybe others are already doing this, and no one is aware of it. From what I've heard, there were tools to modify demos long ago.
创建一个修改 demo 的工具涉及很多工作，但这并不难，因为我已经制作了一个。这几乎取决于一个人的想象力和决心来创造一个有效的作弊。我以前曾向其他人提出过这些问题，但到目前为止，我似乎是唯一一个有足够恶意来考虑此类应用程序的人。也许其他人已经在这样做了，但没有人意识到这一点。据我所知，很久以前就有修改 demo 的工具。

Phantometry in the other hand thinks creating undetectable cheats is very challenging because it's hard to outsmart demo-checkers.
另一方面，Phantometry 认为创建无法检测到的作弊程序非常具有挑战性，因为很难智取演示检查器。

Well, in general, it’s a never-ending process. Cheating I mean. People make new things, test stuff, develop hacks, play with it, etc. On the other hand, demo admins also don’t jerk around and try to catch up. But that’s the thing, demo admins are always catching up, not even being 1 or 2 steps behind of cheaters. They always catch up. But who knows, maybe one day someone will develop a new cheat and, well, your tools are useless now.
嗯，总的来说，这是一个永无止境的过程。我是说作弊。人们创造新事物、测试东西、开发黑客、玩弄它等等。另一方面，演示管理员也不会乱来尝试赶上。但这就是问题所在，演示管理员总是在迎头赶上，甚至不落后作弊者 1 或 2 步。他们总是迎头赶上。但谁知道呢，也许有一天有人会开发出新的作弊方法，好吧，你的工具现在已经没用了。

Old-school player, who wished to stay anonymous, sums it up briefly but to the point.
希望保持匿名的老派球员简短但切中要害地总结了这一点。

There have been cheaters from the very beginning since I started playing KZ in 2006, and those cheaters are definitely not going away.
自从我 2006 年开始玩 KZ 以来，从一开始就有作弊者，这些作弊者绝对不会消失。

Let's end the article with comments from old-school HNS and KZ player eMurkt. of the insomnia clan, who shares his views on the topic.
让我们以老派 HNS 和 KZ 玩家 eMurkt. of the insomnia clan 的评论来结束这篇文章，他分享了他对这个话题的看法。

As requested by a kind individual, I’d like to share some thoughts and experiences accumulated over the years.
应一位好心人的要求，我想分享一些多年来积累的想法和经验。

Specifically, I want to mention the ex-HNS clan XENO-ORDER and some individuals within it, starting with Phantometry himself. Most people are aware of his extensive cheating history, including his involvement with the CC website and submitting cheated demos under different accounts. However, this isn’t about him specifically. Now, let’s talk about a few others from the same friend group: skArp, brokoly, outside, topoviygus, and translucent.
具体来说，我想提一下前 HNS 氏族 XENO-ORDER 和其中的一些人，从 Phantometry 本人开始。大多数人都知道他广泛的作弊历史，包括他参与 CC 网站和在不同帐户下提交作弊的演示。然而，这并不是专门关于他的。现在，我们来谈谈来自同一个朋友组的其他几个：skArp、brokoly、outside、topoviygus 和 translucent。

To name and shame: skArp, brokoly, and outside. While topoviygus and Translucent might be a different story, they were still part of the same circle as well-known cheaters like Phantometry, Nohomo/Garey, and Softwarj (or whatever his name was).
命名和羞辱：skArp、brokoly 和 outside。虽然 topoviygus 和 Translucent 可能是一个不同的故事，但他们仍然与 Phantometry、Nohomo/Garey 和 Softwarj（或者他的名字）等知名作弊者属于同一个圈子。

In terms of HNS history, skArp, brokoly, and outside have all been banned for cheating on various servers, Rayish.com in particular. I doubt that Reavap (an older HNS player and main admin of the Rayish project) would bother verifying any of this since it's ancient history now. Long story short: all these named players were banned for cheating and continued to use multiple accounts over the years to cheat at their leisure. They shone particularly during HNS PCW/MIX games, showing off their "skills" while cheating. What kind of cheating? You’d better ask them—probably a bit of everything.
在 HNS 历史方面，skArp、brokoly 和 outside 都因在各种服务器上作弊而被禁止，尤其是 Rayish.com。我怀疑 Reavap（一位年长的 HNS 玩家和 Rayish 项目的主要管理员）会费心验证这些，因为它现在已经是古老的历史了。长话短说：所有这些被点名的玩家都因作弊而被禁止，多年来继续使用多个帐户在闲暇时作弊。他们在 HNS PCW/MIX 游戏中尤其闪耀，在作弊的同时炫耀自己的“技能”。什么样的作弊？你最好问问他们——可能什么都问一遍。

It’s a pity how the HNS RU community in general praised cheaters over the years, even when it was blatant. You could call it a skill issue, but from what I’ve seen, nobody played like them. For instance, brokoly once got so frustrated with another Russian cheater that he cranked up his cheats, flying across the map and beyond. But hey, that’s what they do. Most of the time, these players wouldn’t go full throttle with their cheats, likely because they knew better, but they still got caught multiple times.
遗憾的是，多年来 HNS RU 社区普遍赞扬作弊者，即使它是明目张胆的。你可以称之为技能问题，但据我所见，没有人像他们一样打球。例如，Brokoly 曾经对另一个俄罗斯作弊者感到非常沮丧，以至于他提高了作弊的水平，在地图上飞来飞去。但是，嘿，这就是他们所做的。大多数时候，这些玩家不会全力以赴地作弊，可能是因为他们知道得更多，但他们仍然被抓了好几次。

There’s a long history behind all this, and plenty of players could share similar stories, but no one cares anymore—myself included. Some of us gave up this battle against cheaters a long time ago. We stopped caring and just wanted to enjoy the game without being competitive.
这一切背后有着悠久的历史，很多玩家可以分享类似的故事，但没有人再关心了——包括我自己。我们中的一些人很久以前就放弃了这场与作弊者的斗争。我们不再关心，只想享受比赛，而不是竞争。

Given the history of these players, it’s suspicious how they suddenly became “pros” in Kreedz. Myself and others have questioned this many times, but we didn’t care enough to make a fuss. Anyone who has played this game long enough knows there’s something fishy about outside’s sudden rise to "pro" status. Now, for a laugh, here’s the conspiracy theory: within this circle of cheaters, it’s amusing to see how their friends also became “good” players. It’s even funnier when one of these guys became a head demo admin, approving demos from people with a known history of cheating. Corruption, anyone? Haha, never mind.
鉴于这些球员的历史，他们是如何突然成为 Kreedz 的“职业球员”的，这很可疑。我和其他人已经质疑过很多次了，但我们并没有关心到大惊小怪。任何玩过这个游戏足够久的人都知道 Outside 突然上升到“职业”地位是可疑的。现在，笑一下，这是阴谋论：在这个作弊者圈子里，看到他们的朋友也成为“好”玩家，这很有趣。更有趣的是，当其中一个人成为首席演示管理员时，批准了有已知作弊历史的人的演示。腐败，有人吗？哈哈，没关系。

We could probably write a short book if we went back to the beginning, dug into each individual’s history, and connected the dots.
如果我们回到起点，深入研究每个人的历史，并将这些点联系起来，我们也许可以写一本短书。

I mean no harm in sharing this. If any of you are reading, don’t take it personally. I don’t hate you, and I don’t care if you did any of that. I’ve been beyond caring about this game for a long time. I just wanted to help out someone who was interested in getting different perspectives.
我分享这个没有坏处。如果你们中的任何人正在阅读，请不要把它当成是个人的。我不恨你，我也不在乎你有没有做过那些事。很长一段时间以来，我一直不在乎这个游戏。我只是想帮助那些对获得不同观点感兴趣的人。
