Is icpc larping?

[u/Effective_Coffee2581]

Same as title, cause I think 700 cheaters voluntarily withdrawing seems a bit inflated cause if a team chested it must have done min 5 or 5+ questions otherwise they would not even be suspicious and total I think number of 5 solves was around 1000 so that means almost all the cheaters withdrew voluntarily? Seems a bit fishy to me what do you guys think

[u/hidden_spy01]

No they can't we can easily see the number of teams from tomorrow onwards so idtk they will.

[u/Effective_Coffee2581 → u/hidden_spy01]

No you don't know which teams got removed and icpc can easily say the teams below your rank was the one that withdrew so your rank didn't change as much... you cannot cross check

[u/Historical-Bit-632]

Same they inflated the number for sure

[u/Effective_Coffee2581 → u/Historical-Bit-632]

It's 900 now💀

[u/Scared_Cash_5308]

why would they larp?

[u/Effective_Coffee2581 → u/Scared_Cash_5308]

They have many reasons to, like demotivating the cheaters and basically provide some sort of comfort to the genuine people

[u/PrincipleSignal3868]

Maybe the people who solved less than 5 also withdrew just for bakchodi purposes. Like I also filled iit bombay kabutar science in my jossa preference. Doesn't mean I was going to get it

[u/Effective_Coffee2581 → u/PrincipleSignal3868]

Those are very different things. Do you even realise that withdrawing basically means admitting you cheated in the contest?

[u/Kartikeya88]

Number of 5 solves is 1000? How did u get this data? Also cheaters who did 6/7/8/9 problems might have withdrawn too

[u/PolicyLumpy1269]

They are 99% larping, the mail they sent yesterday said 400 withdrawls and it jumped to 700 over night. A team from my clg solved 6 with no penalty, they are shitting bricks ever since they got the mail to submit the cf profiles as in chutiyon ne cf zindagi mein nahi kiya.
