Volt/Vault Debacle
So this was just discussed a bit in belma. Where does the term volt come from, does anyone know? I initially thought it was the readme, but it isn't. I'm guessing that if it came to existence in the across days from players that this kind of odd word is used because the term turn was already used for the action of changing the direction of the bike with the space bar. Other words could have been used instead, like just plain "left" and "right", though then there'd be missing a non direction based word. I guess other words could work too, but I'm not going to try to find more examples. The thing is however, that we have all along been using the incorrect volt, the correct one is vault. Why is it that at least to my knowledge we haven't talked about this before? And why is it that we haven't fixed the mistake?
Actually I think it's kind of cute. But it would be really fun to know the story behind it. Does anyone know? I'm imagining some very young teenage finn or swede just got the words mixed up, heh.
edit: So I guess we figured it out in belma, probably. And of course it was really simple, because the word is spelled volttii (or close to that) in finnish and volt in swedish. I'm guessing it's from finnish though. I still think this is a little bit interesting, and if anyone knows who started using the word, it would be cool.

Re: Volt/Vault Debacle
I asked that question
Re: Volt/Vault Debacle
History of the volt
In 1800, as the result of a professional disagreement over the galvanic response advocated by motorized vehicles, Alessandro Volta developed the so-called Voltaic flip, a forerunner of the Volt, which produced a steady Vault. Volta had determined that the most effective pair of Vault to produce extra power was Left and Right at the same time. In the 1880s, the International Elastic Congress, now the International Elastomania Commission (IEC), approved the volt for electromotive force. At that time, the volt was defined as the potential difference to movements on Across.

Re: Volt/Vault Debacle
To me 'volt' sounds hell of a lot more natural than 'vault'.

for reference: to vault: to jump across or leap over (an obstacle); wordnet (resembles SveinR's fencing).

Re: Volt/Vault Debacle
Talking about that, I saw yesterday an article about Maurice Richard (a hockey player in the Montreal Canadiens who became a true legend) and saw spelling errors and contradictory information. I felt like hockey fans were not always brilliant.hexeditor wrote:something about wikipedia I won't bother quoting
I know it's in French, but here are the things I point out: he scored his 500th goal on 2 different days (feb 10 1956 and oct 19 1957), he made his last hat-trick (3 goals in one game) in his carreer on the dec 30 1955 and made his 33th hat-trick on the apr 1st 1958, and the nab called him "MR" a couple of times. Wtf is this? Plus, things in red are mistakes (Ligue NationalE, not national -_-). Sometimes I really wonder how dumb people can be.some nab in wikipedia wrote:30 décembre 1955 – Le Rocket réussit son dernier tour du chapeau en saison régulière et en carrière.

Re: Volt/Vault Debacle
Did you correct it though? Or at least mention the errors on the talk page of the article?
Re: Volt/Vault Debacle
I'd like to borrow this thread and share with you all my hatred towards the word 'psy'. First of all, it's not a word. Second, it's a person. Third, it has nothing to do with the word 'possible' at all. If you don't want to use the word 'possible', at lest use something similar, like 'pasibel' or so. However, I have nothing against the 'word' 'impsy'. I'm totally fine with that one.
impsy = impossible.
psy = a person.
impsy = impossible.
psy = a person.

Re: Volt/Vault Debacle
impsy is more max hard but doable, like doing ramp brutal is impsy, but doing lab pro u1:30 is impossible.

Re: Volt/Vault Debacle
actually impsy means impsybility if I'm not mistaken, which is an old word for a pipe, but I know many uses it for impossible, I even do so myself

Re: Volt/Vault Debacle
Impsybility isn't an old word for a pipe, it is a pipe (WCup317). Which was based on the older pipe Impossibility (MOPOCO08) (of course you already know this Kopa). So impsy obviously means impossible.Kopaka wrote:actually impsy means impsybility if I'm not mistaken, which is an old word for a pipe, but I know many uses it for impossible, I even do so myself
You can of course use it somewhat like Bismuth said, for instance in a battle ("dame impsy timz"), but it still means impossible.
Re: Volt/Vault Debacle
of course he knew. nab kopa. :P

Re: Volt/Vault Debacle
either way, I always thought - and I still do - that impsybility was a pun on psy's ability on pipes. errr?
Re: Volt/Vault Debacle
Sure. Because psy was the first to finish Impossibility. And of course, he went on to win the World Cup event on Impsybility.teajay wrote:either way, I always thought - and I still do - that impsybility was a pun on psy's ability on pipes. errr?

Re: Volt/Vault Debacle
Well, if that level was balled again now in belma in 30 mins battle, I think many players could get better time than psy's impsybility time.. But not that compareable at all, there was no centered camera on taht times etc...
Re: Volt/Vault Debacle
but his time was pretty good, if i remember right. though true, alovolt was barely working at that time, and like you said would be max interesting to compare past vs. today in the beating of old champions. might not reveal itself easy at soup though, but it must be known that levels like wcup306 (hoyless hills) may be possible to beat up to a second (especially with the hard-to-execute flip like a few seconds after having pressed enter).
