He’s “Wagon Wheel Guy” from high school. You know. The one who walked around playing Wagon Wheel every chance he got. And knew no chords but G, D, E, & C.

I don’t play that one, I play Final Fantasy XIV, but there are all sorts of 3rd party (usually free too) programs to use to cheat. In my game there are monsters out in the world that are worth a sort of in game currency to hunt. You’re supposed to roam around and find them. Well, there’s a sniffer type program that will tell you as soon as you enter an area if one of these notorious monsters is there, and the coordinates. For Call of Duty, I guarantee there is a program that tells you were your enemies are before you can see them. There are also bot programs that can kill things for you in my game, probably an auto shooter for that one.
Is cheating common? I’ve seen bots out in the world in my game, but no, most of the player base would never do that because we don’t want to lose our accounts. If I lost the character with 5 years of things I’ve earned in the game or bought for my character through the cash shop because I was caught cheating… I’d probably end up crying in my bathrobe, in my mom’s basement (Ok, not a true basement, it’s a split level) where I pay 1/2 her mortgage so she doesn’t have to give up her house. But then I’d be able to devote more time to learning to ride my lawn mower better, so maybe that would be ok.

Back in the day, games had built-in codes (software hacks) that you could use to cheat, and sometimes those codes were openly used and accepted in game matches. Now, they sometimes still have that, but the major games have programs that people run alongside the game that allows them to cheat in some ways or they run modified game software that allows them to cheat fully, though anti-cheating systems have been implemented and people who are caught cheating are outed and shunned, along with being openly and officially banned from regulated and monitored gameplay.

Wouldn’t it be more likely that someone who feels they MUST always be superior, to the point of lying and making up stories, be the most likely one to cheat? And then whine when they are bested?

This would same kind of person who doesn’t want to invest the time and effort needed to make real progress and attain proficiency. They derive satisfaction from instant gratification rather than real and lasting accomplishments and get their endorphin rush from public recognition and effusive praise instead of from honestly achieved results.

I seem to be a good 1/4+ way through the book so far (hard to tell exactly without page numbers).
I was expecting the chapters about his early years around horses to contain less drama, but even the relationships with the people who he claims were good influences seem to end very badly. He was kicked out of the hunter barn where he supposedly spent so many happy years after apparently just behaving like a rebellious teenager and pulling a dumb stunt jumping paddock fences (which apparently impressed every single witness but the barn owner, somehow?). He got kicked out so thoroughly that he initially wasn’t even allowed on the property to visit his horse. Seems like there must have been even more going on that we aren’t hearing about.
I was also surprised by how many working student situations he says he was in. I just remember the one from previous stories (where the trainer claimed to have fewer dealings with him than NP continues to claim).
Anyway, what really prompted me to come and post this is that I just read a line where he claimed to need either a dark bay or a warmblood in order to “make it”. So a dark bay of any breed, then?
I’m also trying really hard to look past the language errors, but it’s difficult. Especially when there’s talk of a fairground in the back of a church (boy, it must be a big building, then), and a couple of sentences that included “On one hand… On another hand…” (how many hands do you have?).
