    Hey this is the previous owner of relax! I was on an old 2013 macbook at the time and have privated the video of me actually sniping it. It was pretty crazy. The previous owner who owned "kaneki" at the time reached out to me and said he was trying to get it transfered to another account. It was pretty legendary at the time but all good things come to an end when I was dumb enough to get it stolen from me. I was 14 and dumb. Amazing Video!

    Its amazing how much people care about a string of characters on a game account. I just want a name that fits my personality, sounds cool, and isn't crammed with random characters (and hopefully is easy enough to type/come up with a nickname for). The obsession over having 3 random characters or having some random English word as your username for no reason other than "ItS oG" is so stupid.

    26:08 Small correction, besides a couple test sniped semis/3 chars while starting, which used to be worthless, every name I got was full access and not SFA. Tempus only got a couple names at the start and showed that it was possible and then he disappeared. After I started sniping, cheerful ninja failed almost all of their snipes to me with a few of them going to either Soggeh or Poseidon. As far as I know, CN realized blocking wasn't as effective anymore and shifted towards using cheap UFA accounts they bought in the past. It didn't work though and they still lost all of their snipes and shutdown. Ninja later ended up reusing the accounts and sniped under the name 'Dragonz' impersonating my mspaint skin but pretended it wasn't him. I never found out how many accounts CN used though. Ninja would message/interrogate me asking me questions to figure out why he was losing and I got the impression he was using 5-10x more accounts compared to me. My sniping involved some 'methods', but they were not hidden or impressive. You didn't need a lot of accounts and the rate limits didn't stop anything. CN stopped just before the API changes and I quit shortly after the API changes because it made things a lot more strict. Thats when the SFA era actually began and the only thing that mattered was how many accounts you had. Also similar to games pass, after June 2022, majority of gift card purchases were not $30 and were instead purchased from Turkey/Argentina for
