| == Allegations of cheating == | | == Allegations of cheating == |
| On March 5th, 2019 a new chapter was written in the story of Sharpeye. The great [[James Anderson]] formally requested a TWS viewing for reasons unbeknownst to Sharpeye. Little did anyone know that this would turn into one of the greatest stories of redemption and glory known to the chips community today. Sharpeye quickly rallied the community to help him in his tale appointing the great [[User:Cowman|Cowman]] as his mock lawyer in the ensuing trial.
| | In March 2019, there were allegations that Sharpeye might have cheated to obtain some of his bolds, notably Doublemaze. The way Sharpeye's Doublemaze route was encoded in the [[TWS]] file was completely different from all other similar TWS files, leading some to believe that it had been created by a program other than [[Tile World]]. |
|
| |
|
| === Demand for a live stream ===
| | Sharpeye was required to execute the Doublemaze, [[Chip's Checkers]] and [[Split Path]] routes on a live stream, with a keylogger recording all his moves. Close inspection of the stream and the resulting TWS found no evidence of wrongdoing, and [[James Anderson]] formally declared that Sharpeye's scores were legal. |
| It started out as a tame and friendly exchange of TWS files for verification purposes but the malicious intents would rear their ugly head quickly. In a stunning turn of events James requested a stream of Doublemaze, and nothing else would appease his incredible hunger. It quickly became apparent that James would be the antagonist in this story and earned him the title of general auditor, meaning that Sharpeye would have to rally even more members to his aid. The community was swift in their reply with [[Tyler Sontag]] volunteering as head of the smear campaign and all things PR related, along with [[Josh Lee]] who became the head of nutrition.

| Stuck with options for improving, Sharpeye turned to [[Zane Kuecks]] as for coaching assistance once again. With his team behind him, Sharpeye spent the next two days prepping and training for the doublemaze show, but even then he wasn’t prepared for what the auditor would give him. A mere one hour before the stream was set to begin on March 7th, 2019, antagonist Anderson laid out a few more tricks for Sharpeye to have to accommodate in the stream, including the installation of a keylogger. Fearing for his life as a chipster, Sharpeye obliged and made the required changes, going live and embarking on his quest for freedom and continued membership. With the world watching, Sharpeye executed the incredibly difficult Doublemaze bold to perfection having a reaction known to some as “the weirdest pop-off of all time”.

| | |
| === Other unreasonable demands ===
| |
| However, realizing that the show must go on, auditor Anderson wasn’t done. In quick succession he forced Sharpeye to relearn [[Chip's Checkers]] and stream it live to the audience. Incredulous, Sharpeye agreed and in front of his loyal and loving fans, executed the bold to perfection yet again. Basking in the glory of the moment, Sharpeye thought that he had complete his task and successfully defeated the heinous auditor… but it wasn’t meant to be. Our antagonist had one more trick up his sleeve, which he revealed in three simple words: "[[Split Path]] bold". Sharpeye shuddered but agreed to it for his optimizing life was in jeopardy. In what felt like hours, Sharpeye took a look at his Split Path 210 TWS and quickly began relearning the route. What happened next could only be described as the miracle of chips, as Sharpeye once again beat the expectations of the cruel auditor and pulled off 210 perfectly.

| === Vindication ===
| |
| It was over, the beast was dead. The cruel tyrant Anderson could only stare on in disbelief as Sharpeye had jumped through his hoops, and was now celebrating with the onlookers. James could only stammer out “but how?” before collecting himself and rejoicing that the community wouldn’t have to deal with the black eye of the ban. With all said and done, Sharpeye thanked the viewers for tuning in and witnessing history before turning off the stream to continue the discussion with the auditor. In the end, it was determined that Sharpeye legitimately achieved his bolds and was allowed to keep his title of optimizer and continue his positive relations with the community.
| |
| | |
| Sharpeye continues filling out his scorecard and upping his bold count for CC1, but recognizes that many of the levels are quite long and “Sharpeye-proof” so he spreads them out over a longer period of time to keep from burning out. He continues to play through and optimize CC2 on top of that, as well as get the occasional bold from the other level packs as well.

| As far as level design goes, Sharpeye tends to stay away from the creation of levels in both CC1 and CC2. He creates a few levels and gives out ideas for levels, but stays from delving too deeply into full levelsets and themed levels. | | As far as level design goes, Sharpeye tends to stay away from the creation of levels in both CC1 and CC2.
