Harold Christensen

Surely the 3 31 x on Silence was a typo for a 2 31 x, looking at his other times?
But, with such a quick time for DW1 submitted (that I see is not allowed yet) are all his other times legit?
Has anyone been in touch with him at all?

I already wrote to him concerning these things, I'm awaiting a response.

Harold has been very cooperative via e-mail and is in the process of submitting photos of some of his times.

I'm not saying that he cheated...because his times seem very legit...I mean...he ranked up pretty quick, then again...so did I in my first month...HA !!! Sure his DWI time seems kinda out of track...but then again that track is entirely oval...with a few days worth of practice I think those times are fairly possible.
Anywho...Dave, I'm just curious...could we see his pics of times and stuff? I'd like to check out his other ranked times, ya know?

I can't say I'm more suspicious of him than of anyone else. The first DW1 time he submitted isnt the one that ties with DVM it was quicker but I think that was a typo like him getting 3 minutes something for Silence was. Theres probably loads of players out there who are better than us but haven't found this site yet. Wouldn't be surprised if other people submit times straight into the top 10, I'm sure more than 70 people in the world play FZ a lot.

The one pic I've received thus far is a 2'19"40 at DW1:
http://fzerocentral.com/Images/HChristensen-DW1-21940.jpg
It's kinda dark, but as anyone who's tried taking pictures of a TV screen knows, it can take a little time to get good at it. This was done with a film camera, but future pictures will be taken with a digital camera, so he can re-take photos immediately if the first ones are poor.
Analyze the picture all you like, but to me the most important thing to consider is simply that he is working on providing proof (we have a player ranked higher than Harold who has dodged all requests for legitimate proof). It is very unlikely that someone would go to these lengths to fake it just to get a higher ranking on our chart. Not impossible of course, but unlikely. I'll post more pics as I receive them.
Can anyone confirm or dispute the idea that this photo is actually of DW1? I'm not expert enough to tell just by looking at it.

I was confident that it would be DW1 ... I've gotten pretty good at separating the honest players from the cheaters.

Harold sent in a new screenshot of his DW I records page. It shows his DW I PRs of 2'19"28 and 26"64 (PAL). I've replaced the older pic with this new one (it's in the folder linked above.)
The original pic is much larger (1.4mb) and clearer, the one posted has been reduced for quicker loading.

I'm glad some people are suspiscious. I'll probably never be competing in the top 5, but I am working on sending in some pics of my better ranked times. I'm more worried about the people competing around me. I mean, if you see a pic of one of their really good times, you can be pretty sure they have the skills to carry that over to other tracks, and I know the players around me are workin HARD.
