::"Why is there no information at all on how to replicate it?" - precisely because then everybody would be able to replicate it. For many years, players automatically shared the details of every new record they scored, so that others could build on their work. However, that rendered individual competition meaningless. Players who spent the time to develop intricate routes found themselves with inferior overall scores to players who simply copied every public solution. So gradually, people stopped doing that. Nowadays, bold routes typically don't get shared if only a few players have them or if they're difficult to find, so as not to affect the integrity of overall score competition. Cake Walk 717 was not an April Fools prank either, despite the date.

:::Looking back on it, 717 Cake Walk is dated November 15th. Where did the April 1st thing even come from and why did neither Jeffrey nor I refute it at the time? [[User:Jamesa7171|Jamesa7171]] ([[User talk:Jamesa7171|talk]]) 00:29, 30 July 2019 (CDT) |
