What's your opinion on RusselMuscle's levels?

Archive: 85 posts


You may also know him as RusselChampion or Lemons_and_Gravy.

I would have to say his levels are a 6/10 for me, but his spamming has got to go!

Those are some of his "in game" aliases, but I believe he goes by a different name here at LBP Central.

I honestly don't care.

I believe that it's because no-one cares about him that russelsmuscles feels such a strong urge to seek the attention of others through his challenging behaviour. I suspect that he initially wanted nothing more than to feel he was a part of a community, but because of his limited creative talent he found himself ridiculed and rejected by his peers. With his fragile ego shattered, he set out to reap his revenge on those who refused to validate him and began to style himself as an insuppressible scourge that would shake the foundations of the community. To avoid spawning a monster like this again, in future we need to become proactive in offering the less mature and less talented creators some constructive criticism and positive re-inforcement when they produce a level (even though it may be utter trash), and to practice tactical ignoring in response to any challenging behaviour they display.

The fact that russelsmuscles continues to lurk around these forums suggests that despite his intense bitterness towards us, he desperately wants us to accept him into the "family", like a moth that is drawn to a flame even when it's wings have been singed. As a community we now must ask ourselves...do we continue to vilify and ostracise russelsmuscles, or do we begin to embrace him as the brother he yearns to be and allow him the chance to absolve himself?

Actually I don't know or care who he is. He's an offensive spammer from all I know. The likelihood of me playing his levels is minimal - I'm not touching anything on "cool" pages and no one is going to recommend them to me so yeah.

I also find it bizarre how much everyone on the forums just encourages him: I bet he does google searches for his name and just loves seeing how many results there are

Y'know, after all this hoopla, I still don't know he is. I've never actually seen him about, so I guess I don't know the extent of his intrusion into the community, but I'd have to agree with Ungreth on this one (no offense rtm). If he's willing to change his ways, then I see no reason to hold such a grudge. I'm sure he has to have learned something by now about how good levels are made. As long as he continues to be a burden to everyone else, though, I shan't be playing his levels.2009-09-22 14:00:00

Seriously...if russelsmuscles comes sniffing around my creations, I'll validate his @$$ with a sawn off 12-bore paintinator! :kz:

I don't know, ut the problem is not russelmuscles.
The problem are the russelmusclesES.
I publish my level and had 20 plays and 1 stars in half than an hour, without anyone who completed the level.
I really think that there's more than one out there that if sees a level that in the first minute can be even remotely good will try to do everything to bring it down.

Who doesn't finish a level shouldn't be able to rate it.
Stop.
There's no other way.
MM shall implement this and the date of publishing.
We can discuss about jerks for hours but only MM can do something about it.
If trouser muscles would have to play 10/15 minutes of a good level before rating and commenting it, sure the phenomenon would decrease.

I obviously blame those idiots without a life but I have also to blame MM.
This is a problem they had to patch in the first month.

Yeah, right.
His ID here is ConfusedCartman, I think

I've played a couple of his levels... interesting little levels designed around young people playing levels over and over and dying quickly to get replays so the play count gets artificially high.... if you're looking for play counts its a good strategy, and I'm not going to knock his levels. Not really my cup of tea, but there ya go....

As regards being welcoming here, I think forming a friendship with anyone requires mutual respect and consideration.... he hasn't really been considerate to ANYONE. If "I" make a level, I don't think its right for someone else to advertise their levels in my comments if I don't want them to.... so even though technically you CAN do it in LittleBigPlanet, if someone is obnoxiously spamming my level even though I've told them I don't appreciate it, it will be hard to form a friendship and be welcoming.

If he ceased doing that and instead cared how other people felt about his behavior than sure... I'd be welcoming.

I have not seen many mean things he has said. I have only gotten mean things said to me by others online that I know are not Russel....
I have seen so many mean things said to him that it has lead me to the conclusion that more people pick on him than him picking on other people.
I have seen about 20 levels that just have a gun (not made by them) and a head that is supposedly Russel and you have to grab the gun to blow up his head. (Which I believe is not allowed on LBP. )

Tell me this everyone: Who do you think is the bad guy now?

He's just to simply annoy just wanting to hurt others, Sometimes there are just big jerks around and there's nothing you can do to change there attitude. I know these people very well....don't ask its depressing. Only good thing is that this

Also i think he's got another new account X_TheCreator_X or something like that

I was discussing on a different Russle topic, and we're pretty sure he is violating 7j of the EULA.

Any attempt to deliberately alter, damage, or undermine, the legitimate operation
of this game, including but not limited to exploiting the ranking system by creating
'dummy accounts'

I think its just not that many people realize it. Maybe if we all good grief his new level under Terms of Service maybe that might do something. Or call that number in the EULA and report him about all this crap he's done exploiting with the ranking system.

Your thoughts? Who knows maybe even a 1-month ban could change his attitude.

WTF?! I'm sorry, but I think I just wet myself laughing! I can't believe you actually agreed with me!

Well, you have remember that I prefaced that statement with "If he decides to change his ways". That's a pretty big IF when dealing with someone like him. I don't foresee that happening, so it's a non-issue.

As it stands now, his current attitude and actions about the whole thing warrant a banning of some sort. He ruins the experience for many people (myself fortunately not included), so for that he deserves repercussions.

I was merely agreeing with the idea that if he eventually came around, and saw the error of his ways, then who are we to pass infinite judgment on him. Let him decide his future, not us.

Nobody else thinks that he could potentially get another chance...? Not even a glimmer of hope? Before you answer that, look at from a human perspective, not an internet perspective (where everyone's a jerk).

Statistically, yes.

That is to say people are colder, and more jerk-like when behind the anonymity of the internet. True? Take [oh, I dunno...] RusselsMuscles for example. Do you think he would spam your levels if you were physically in the room with him? My guess is no (but I could be wrong).

I really think that there's more than one out there that if sees a level that in the first minute can be even remotely good will try to do everything to bring it down.

Just as a thought - the two main complaints I keep hearing against the rating system are "spiteful" raters and "no-thought" raters (ones who just hit the x button and end up rating it whatever it already is at).

Why not just use one to help mitigate the other? When you first publish it, publish it locked, and get some friends to rate it 5 stars (they can change their ratings later on a subsequent play). Once you have 20 or so 5-star ratings, unlock it, and you may get some spiteful 1-stars, and some "no-thought" 5-stars.

I'm not actually encouraging this, just a thought that came to me for those who feel "gamed" out of a good rating.

I'll go right ahead and encourage it then. If they wanna rate at 5*s is their choice, I asked my beta testers and a few others from the site to go in and rate / heart as they saw appropriate before unlocking. It makes sense to do so, within what occurs in this game. By the time you've got a few plays those initial ratings, even if phoney 5*s will mean nothing so why not?

I just don't like him. He's a filthy spammer, and annoying idiot, a stupid liar, a pathetic moron. Don't get me wrong, his levels are probably five star quality and page one classics. A true inspiration to everyone.

Seriously though, he's said things and, well, I don't like him ?__?' Judging by his levels, he's a complete idiot who doesn't have the right to criticise anybody or spam anyone's level with his stupid crap. I won't tolerate it.

Hmmm... that's too bad about not reading your comments - I thought I saw a comment somewhere on Siberia 4 from several months ago where someone offered you a million pounds to do a series based on Mars....

...but the comment was buried under a bunch of level spam.

Oh well, too late now.

Had it not been for some people on this website turning him into some sort of pariah figure, I would have no idea who the guy is.

I haven't published a level for a while and maybe that has something to do with it, but if you have a problem with him, my suggestion would be to ignore him.

Very clever Ccubbage....

I read comments, but never look at who has sent spam, was what I should have said. The minute I see it I skip to the next comment, which ends up being spam, you do get some good ones everynow and again, mostly from people off here.

I'm more irritated by the general LBP audience. It's these bomb-survival, jump challenge, 3D LAYER GLITCH, free stuff, can-you-survive-this, H4H, realistic water level playing children who get these levels pushed to the front of the cool pages. Without them RusselsMuscles would be unknown.

It seems to me that people are lashing out at RusselsMuscles as a way of taking their anger out on the flaws in the cool pages system as has become a key example/figurehead of these flaws.

In my opinion, he simply wants attention, and by the means Killian said, he sure obtains it.

As it has also been said, the problem is the people who even if not directly, supports him. The people who plays his levels over and over again...

...wait, wait, stop it there. Who is that people? Well, russel makes levels with fancy colors, in wich you die easily and really quickly, and he promises, lets say, realistic water at the end.
So, lets think: who would play those levels? Who falls for those parodies of levels?
Kids. Who, in my opinion, shouldn't be blamed on. C'mon, my little sis enjoys bomb survivals and says that Destiny (sorry, CCubagge) sucks. Just let her be.
The lack of maturity -most of the times, in terms of age- it's the true problem of the LBP community.
Then there's just people, like russel -beware, he has muscles!- who take advantage of that fact, very cleverly, I must add.
And what does russel thirst for? Well, IMHO, just attention. He wants to mess up with the LBP community to read his own name written everywhere, to simply feel that he is able to mess up with the community. Every time that someone does a hate level about him, I can clearly imagine the smile painted on his fiace.
And we are also giving him attention, btw. I don't know if he is reading this (Ungreth thinks that he is somebody in these forums, I, myself, suspect that it is Zwollie, since I haven't seen anything published by him lately) but he would sure have fun.

But I'm not telling you to stop this, to ignore it. I think that we all know that it would be the correct thing to do, what would "hurt" him the most, what would probably make him stop, if the whole community did the same. But hells, I'm not machine, and I'm actually enjoying this thread, so I won't be an hypocrite and suggest to stop the debate, since I'm having fun reading trough it, and probably russel would have fun too if he happens to be also reading trough it.

I think you guys are totally interpreting russel's levels and messages wrong. His levels are merely a satire of everything in LittleBigPlanet that he despises. By creating that which he loathes, he is living through the eyes of his demons. It's an abstract way to express and feel intense emotion, and russel actually employs it fairly well.

His comments are a different story entirely though. Comments like "this level sux, play mine, 3D & $50 psN card" are incredibly deep comments and are his way of encouraging creators to be the best they can be. Let's break this message down:

When he tells people that there level "sux", he is actually using a method of reverse-psychology to secretly congratulate and praise fantastic creators without making other creators feel left out.

By telling other people to play his levels, he is trying to spread his abstract message that I touched upon in the first paragraph, in an effort to help these great creators incorporate these abstract ideas which he feels are so important.

He says "3D" for two reasons. Firstly, he does it to grab the attention of the general LittleBigPlanet audience to the rest of his message, because 3D seems to be an attractive theme to them. Secondly, he does it because to him 3D is a symbol of oppression of the best wishes of the developers and it is his way of mourning for the pains and headaches they must face because of this whole debacle. He is clearly a caring person who has only the best wishes of everyone in mind.

The final part is in there for no abstract reasons, he does give away $50 PSN cards daily to creators who truly understand and believe in his message. He is attempting to organize a LittleBigPlanet elite of "Free Mason" or "Illuminati" proportions.

russelsmuscle's is truly a god among gadders.

I think that Russel's levels are about as fun and original as a 3rd grade orchestra recital and I would sooner recommend playing tennis with your eyeballs. If I'm correct, all of his levels are copy/pasted and then he puts new stickers everywhere. Stop playing levels called "3D WATER LEVEL!", people.

It's not only Russel, though. It's the stupidity of some of the community overall (not this community). I've only fallen for Russel once, but some people just don't learn. Anyone who thinks they're going to get a $50 PSN Card from playing one of his levels is incredibly idiotic, and they deserve to be fooled. Personally, I think Russel is to some LBP creator as Jerry Jackson is to Fat-Pie from Newgrounds. A different identity. It's might just all be a joke, making fun of some of bad creators or the stupid and unrealistic levels make in descriptions that we believe, ultimately leading to our disappointment. And his comments making fun of internet morons. I'm probably giving him way too much credit. He's probably just an imbecile. Again, this is another reason I rely LBPC instead of Cool Levels.

That "people" are kids. You cannot make them understand why is it so bad. In fact, they actually enjoy it, and I'm not the one who's gonna tell somebody not to play a level they really enjoy.


You really ahd me laughing at

To me I hate him cause he hurt the feelings of several of my friends, some got really depressed. I also hate him cause i believe he caused the dramatic increase in LBP bullies and fad levels like, bomb survival, jump challenge etc. Making others think that doing these fads makes you the best creators cause its always on cool pages. Or they go on a rage and bully the good creators when people post bad comments on Russles levels.

@rtm and jagrevi
I don't care about stars or heart, just like anyone around here.
But I care that if everyone wants the right to judge something that costed me sweat and time, they have to dedicate me 10-15 minutes.
Then they can rate it 0 and tag it rubbish, but they have to know what they are judging.

In other words, he has become an icon of all of what you dislike about LBP?

I couldn't agree with killian more on this. He does seem to have become a figurehead - his name is well known and his infamy has grown to the point where he is the negative aspects of LBP. Yes, maybe he is one of the worst, or even the worst, but it takes a lot more than him to get the fad levels on cool pages. (by "he" in this paragraph, I do mean russel and not killian )

Mostly it takes the people that enjoy playing the fads. That's why they get so many plays, and get stuck to cool pages, because people do enjoy playing them, regardless of whether you do or not, and it's certainly not because of one internet bully.

He's also not the only one posting offensive messages on other people's levels.

^ I guess the community needed a villain and russelsmuscles just seemed to fit the role like a glove. That's okay though...it adds a little spice to the forums. Afterall, Star Wars would have been a dull tale without Darth Vader.

Hang on just a second though. If russelsmuscles is our Vader then who's our Yoda?

if anything dawid14 is worse. This is dawid's levels.

He copies other peoples levels, somehow, I dunno how but he has about 15 levels he stolen from others.

One level he stole from one guy and chsnged the name to police robot part one. He stole a completely different level and called it police prison part two.
It is supposed to be the sequel but they have no connection at all other than that they both involve police.
One time he stole a guys level and in the description told people to play an author's levels. The author was the exact person he stole the level from. This was an attempt to sweet talk the person he nicked from to not complain by getting plays for him.. But what he did was point everyone in the direction of the level he had stolen. He also is a vicious spammer. And guess what? he is russell's friend.

here's the real Russel!
@rtm and jagrevi
I don't care about stars or heart, just like anyone around here.
But I care that if everyone wants the right to judge something that costed me sweat and time, they have to dedicate me 10-15 minutes.
Then they can rate it 0 and tag it rubbish, but they have to know what they are judging.

Sorry guys, I saw on my CP that someone said
"Your comment was not needed. You are being mean and rude"

At first I didn't even understand...but whoever you are, you're right, I sounded mean and rude.
I have to apologize, I think I worded myself really badly.

What I meant is that no one here really cares about hearts and stars nor create to be sticked on the cool pages.

I did not want to say that I'm the only that doesn't care while all you others here are craving for hearts and stars.
I'm really sorry for this misunderstanding.
I really ask everyone to excuse me if you can.
I beg your pardon

Wow. Ummm, there is nothing rude or mean about your comments. It's perfectly reasonable not to care about stars, plays and hearts and it's perfectly reasonable to want people to have to actually try and play your level before rating - many of us around here share the same sentiments.

I don't think you need to appologise to anyone.

In what way was anything you said to me and rtm mean or rude? Am I missing some kind of hidden subtext here? Because what you posted just seemed to me to be a casual rebuttal.

hm some deep explanations going on up there.
thats uh...deep
so deep =,)

wait no russel and anything haveing to do with russel doesnt deserve mine or anyone elses sympathy

truth is his shallow mind only haas a one way track, this track is telling him that since he can spam the same level jsut flipped around with different stickers, and get more plays and hearts than most people, that it suddenly makes him a winner.

i say let him think that and we can just live our lives and let him live his lies.

i feel much better now

Anyway, he just keeps publishing the same level over and over again with different names and different accounts. LBP is about fun, not being a [DOOT DE DOO].

In all honesty, I couldn't give a **** about him and the more threads that are created about him gives him unecessary attention, attention he loves. His levels are **** so I don't bother playing them, knowone should. Also, I know people love blaming him for alot of the bad things on lbp, but I also think it is unfair because he isn't the only bad guy. He is not the reason bomb levels became a fad, if you want the name of the author that started the fad of bomb levels, just ask me. I know the name.2009-09-23 02:15:00

He seems to be an untalented attention seeker, what everyone here has already said about us talking bad about him only inflates his already oversized ego. Hell, even im adding to the problem by typing this.

But as i have said before, his levels are one of the worst things you can play on LBP, but the more people that realize this, the more people discover and appreciate where the true hard work and dedication that is involved in some levels are.

Talking about wise-ness, NinjaMicWZ is our Yoda, cutting tongue Zwollie is Luke and the switch geek rtm is R2-D2, but you should ask julesyjules

No time to play Luke right now, I just heading off to the Tosche Station to get some power converters.

Yes however last time I was on LBP I saw several "Reach the end....realistic water...." levels( like between 3-5) thankfully about half dissappeared within the past half hour but still

So now this monstrosity is becoming a fad!:eek:

i like russelsmuscles. and im NOT him. hes possibly one of, if not THE greatest pitch man in all of LBP, and tho he is an obsessive spammer, you have to admit, one or two of his outlandish claims have drawn you in. He is a smart, sometimes sneaky guy, and his obstacle courses are becoming somewhat of an LBP comfort food. In a world dominated by bomb survival, little big high school, and levels that play themselves, a good old fashoned hard as heck obstacle course is just what i want. even if there is no water at the end. its good to have something DIFFERENT once in a while.2009-09-24 06:26:00

lol, now that I think of it... russelsmuscles is pretty funny, I find that alot of what he does is histarical. I mean really, who has the energy to do what he does? He Spams EVERYDAY, has that hideous costume that creeps me out, his levels make some of the worst levels on lbp look like 5 Star levels.

It's almost midnight where I live so I'm kinda half asleep right now and have no clue what the hell I've been typing for the last few minutes, forgive me if I just said something stupid..... Goodnight zzzZZZZZZZzzzZZZ

You may also know him as RusselChampion or Lemons_and_Gravy.

It would also appear a "lemon and gravy" just joined our forums a few hours go.

Well, there ya go. Maybe the LBPC search function is just like its LBP counterpart.

Now, how bad are we all going to feel if it's a different person?

Could be a practical joke. I'm willing to bet that someone on the forums thought they'd form an account under a suspected russelsmuscles alias just to get us all bloodthirsty for a witch hunt. (Was it you Jagrevi?). Anyway, I think the real russelsmuscles may have said goodbye to the forums earlier this week.2009-09-25 18:37:00

Bit of a strange out of the blue accusation.

No, I am neither putting on an elaborate charade in order to get people "bloodthirsty", nor do I know why anyone would do that in the first place or why his merely registering here would invoke any kind of serious emotional reaction.

At this point, it's just interesting trivia (if it is him, he hasn't even posted anything yet), so forgive me for not buying into an elaborate conspiracy at this point.

YOU HAVE A DIRTY MIND
but it was quite funny, tee hee

I really care about russellsmuscles so much, it's just his poorly built levels that annoy me. Having accidently played one of his levels I found that the level could become an alright one if he changed some of the stickers, Improved the mechanisms and certainly change the title and description, we know he wont do that though, which is why he will continue to be an unpopular character in the likes of LBP...

Meh, his levels are okay. Thats all im going to say.

And I doubt Lemons_and_Gravy is russel.

To be honest there are several people worse than russel, dawid for example.

Actually, his levels are not that bad, i've seen much worse levels.
Now he began to tell lies... When you see a level with "Water at the End", it's him.
Well, i never believed to that, since water is still in beta. But i think it's stupid to do something like that only to get more plays... Yes, he gets a lot of plays, but then people find out he lied and give him 1 star and insult him on the comments.
Lol
