> You also may have enough clout and social standing that others may be reluctant to even consider the possibility that you cheated This is what happened here initially. Some of the achievements Schmooey got were almost "too good to be true", but they were just close enough to what was considered feasible as to largely go unnoticed until people started looking closer. Schmooey was also friends with a ton of prominent GH players, such that he ran a fairly successful private Discord server. I was there when that place burned to the ground lmao. It also didn't help that, at the December meetup that Schmooey attended, he avoided playing certain things that, given the skill level he'd built himself up as having, he should have had no problem tackling. I didn't notice this so much while actually at said meetup, as I largely focus on the Harmonix side of things (GH2 and Rock Band), but the other players there certainly brought it up after everyone had returned home.
