So you believe ;P:Dynamo wrote:Until I go off to university...(so less than 1 year)

1) if i have elma, i play 24/7.
2) if i dont have elma, i dont play at all.
First variant is a stupid waste, second one is too strict. Would be nice to play 1 hour in a week, but to play 1 hour in a week i need elma installed, and if i have elma i play not 1 hour, but 24h a day ;P (hah)
So i decided to do 2), until i'll have better willpower and less addictivenness. =)
I was talking to jaytea about this yesterday on MSN, you know the only thing I've learned from getting a 39 TT is that nobody actually gives a fuck.ciph wrote:how long are you going to let it waste your time![]()
With that in mind, what about that all ya pros and all ya noobs quit playing this stupid game. I hereby giving you my resignation!sierra wrote:I was talking to jaytea about this yesterday on MSN, you know the only thing I've learned from getting a 39 TT is that nobody actually gives a fuck.
So much time can be wasted on Elma, people have literally thrown away their youth to this game, and they will continue to do so in the future. There's people who don't even have jobs, and live off the government and play computer all day.
To get a WR, you might need to play weeks or months. And then, what is it all for? For some noobs to write "grats! good time" on a forum? You could have been earning money all those hours, or finding yourself a girlfriend to love. You could have been in a laboratory working to cure cancer, or in Africa helping children who have no water.
I've played for over 2 years now, I was 16 when I started and I'm almost 19 now. Thinking about it, that's a pretty important period of your life. I'm not getting those years back now.
So to answer your question, Elma is not going to consume my life for much longer, I can assure you. There's simply way too much commitment for so little, in fact non-existant, rewards.

You're happy manLukazz wrote:cool topic =)
i started playing when i was 12and i'm 15 now, i think i haven't missed any important things with elma, i've got a girlfriend,and i have enough time for school, friends, parties etc. and i still play quite much elma i think... and so i don't see me quitting in the next years, at least not because i think elma has destroyed my real life, maybe i will stop when i've got a job in 5 years, but now enjoy it

I don't know what will be in 2-3 years, but now is elma filling my life enought and I'm still learning everything around elastomania, I'm not much experienced yet..

Well that depends on how you look at it. Doing sports you're always surrounded by other people.. and you prolly get to know them. Some might even end up being best friends. But in computer games you sit at home playing some game. Alone (mostly) and injuring your eyes by looking at the monitor for hours a day. You might also get some back or hands injury too. When doing sports you move around, doing exercises (some times you hurt yourself.. is true). But still it's more healthy.The_BoneLESS wrote:It's just a game,
i could say i wasted my youth playing basketball ( about 9 years and still playing ) but, that's a sport so, it's not considered as a waste of time. But when entertainments are computer games, it always looks like a waste of time, but it's not more or less a time waste than anything else.

I would say that everybody is playing sports, drinking beer, fishing and playing elma. Reducing your activities to only elma is reductionnist and unhealthy, both physically and mentally.Honza wrote:It's everybody's choice, somebody is playing sports, somebody's drinking beer, somebody's fishing and somebody plays elma
Yes, but u can't do everything to teh max, I almost don't like people who are doing a lot of activities..but just fragmentary and they can't be teh best in anyone of themsimon_labroue wrote:I would say that everybody is playing sports, drinking beer, fishing and playing elma.

Like cruising externals is any better... internal cruising is actually the better thing to do. I'd rather have a great time on an internal than on some mongo external.berhabdul wrote:Elma is OKiz, provided you are not addicted. I am not, 93% of my Elma-playing is CRUISING, i don't play to achieve better times in levels, because I do know I'd count never in the scene as a good player anyway. I find elma nice and that what makes me relaxed, i really cannot understand these people who spend half a day to hoyl internals![]()
It's such a waste of time

I don't. If it wasn't for externals, I would have quit this game two years ago.Xiphias wrote:Like cruising externals is any better... internal cruising is actually the better thing to do. I'd rather have a great time on an internal than on some mongo external.
No, you are wrong, cruising is wasting a time, the time you waste by cruising can be used to hoyling!!! and that's more meaningful, because hoyling is the only way to get decent TTberhabdul wrote:Elma is OKiz, provided you are not addicted.
