My First Post: Random thoughts on Elma, Moposite, WC5, etc.
Hi to all,
This is my first post here in Mopolauta so I've decided to go on and rant about the game itself and related stuff. Hope I don't bore anyone to death.
Anyway, I've started playing Elastomania a while ago after being addicted to Across like almost everybody else in my class when I was like 14. Eventually computers were upgraded and Across didn't run anymore so I eventually found Elastomania a few years later. I've stopped playing it after a while and about a month ago I found out that a guy at university was also an Across addict and didn't know about Elastomania so we started playing it and the addiction returned.
I've seen some rumours recently of new Elma versions and a few of my friends actually beg daily for an open source version of Elma. Honestly, I think going open source would kill the game: the day after there would be 9 million different versions and there would be no real standard game, which would kill the scene IMO. Anyway, a new version would be nice but I think Elma is timeless the way it is right now.
I've always thought I was a pretty good player - I don't want to brag but the rest of the guys at university don't play half as well as I do except for one other person which plays kind of as much as I do - but then I decided to search google for Elastomania and I found Moposite. I must say I was completely dazzled by your World Record times! I thought my Headbanger 1:14:79 time (I can do a little better but I can't see myself doing less than 1:10 the style I'm playing now) was a good time (how the hell do you go through that pipe?!?!) and though it was painful to find it is actually crap the fact that I had better times to beat made me want to play the game even more. I've seen the "target times" section in Moposite and I think they are a little bit exagerated... Some of the guys at university take over 2 minutes to finish Headbanger so you know what I mean.
I actually have a few times that are nice but I need a lot of training in other levels (I usually only play Headbanger anyway). I've noticed that I actually have a few Top 10 times and a Top 10 total time for players with my nationality but I don't even know if Moposite is even updated anymore in that capacity and how am I supposed to submit those times...
So we've found out that World Cup 5 will take place and we've decided to found an Elastomania team to compete and try not be placed last (which will be a real challenge lol). I guess I'll be starting to follow this message board from now on and I hope a lot of you participate in World Cup 5 so that some of you actually do worse than I do
Cheers and thanks for keeping this game alive after so long!

Nice to see some new sensible ppl around ehre, not just noobs that spams the crap out of this place!
And the thing about exaggerated targety times? if you have much worse the beginner times then there is barely any motivation needed to improv.

Website || TT:38:05:33 || WC5:15th || HHIT for life || 9th world wide ... BAP is next
if you play very much in the world cup you can get a good position and you will become really good. this means sick amount of playing and is not worth it at all. good luck.

DamRho:
So, go to your elma folder, copy the state.dat and rename it to damrho.dat and sent it to the adress with your info, (the nick you use in elma, your nationality, your team if you have one)Moposite wrote:Mail your state.dat to records@moposite.com. You must tell the name you're using in the state (for example I use Lassi in state.dat but my nick is Abula so you must tell both of those), Elma nick, nationality and possible team. No bug times allowed. You don't have to write levels or times or the lists you want to get into. In case some of your times are suspicious, a replay on them might be asked. Be sure you have some records in some lists. Also rename the state.dat to "nick.dat" where nick is your own nick so Karlis will use "karlis.dat" and Chris Penrose "chris penrose.dat".
heh, while i was reading that 1st post i had a wild guess that this was a portuguese guy writing, maybe something about the syntax
boa sorte (e estudas em que fac, já agora?)
[edit: before some mod rambles, i said good luck and asked in which uni he is studying at : x ]

btw to submit your times follow the instructions on the right hand column of http://www.moposite.com/records.php
Hi again,
Thanks for the info, my only doubt was if some sort of registration was required for first entrants or something... You know just so someone doesn't suddenly get out of the smoke and break records and stuff like that hehe Could be a little suspicious... not that I'm breaking any world records here...
aavv, estudo na FCUP

DamRho, aqui flul ;) Diz ao teu amigo para mandar os tempos dele também.
[i study at flul. tell your frind to send his times too]
Dudek, agora is like not only the market but also the main square and the place where ancient greeks used to discuss public stuff. Means 'now' in portuguese, though. :P to depict greek agora we say ágora.
i'm thinking: if everyone who wanted could write here in their own language as long as they provided an english translation, sometimes it would avoid miscomprehension etc. Abula?
anyway good luck damrho

now I had balls to read all the text, so, I want to say that your headbanger record must be pretty smooth run, becouse you dont use the pipe. yes, the world records are impressive, but remember, you dont always need to be the best player.
when you think your times are good, then you are good enough. thats what I think. people say I'm a farsunder becouse of that, but thats not stopping me, is it?

Welcome welcome.
I agree with aavv about using other languages as long as english translation is there.
dudek&otork:
Vähän off-topiccia mutta tsekit kaatuuu tänään Teplicessäääää!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eremenko Jr. pistää pallon Cechin taakse 73minuutin kohdalla 17metristä!
(little off-topic but czech will go down today in Teplice!!!! Eremenko Jr. will put the ball behind Cech at 73rd minute from 17 meters!)

Sorry for the late reply I've been spending the Easter season away...
I don't have any World Top 10 times like someone asked before, I have National Top 10 times (which isn't hard since there's really only 12 people with times on Moposite hehe).
As for Headbanger I don't use the pipe because I can't seem to get to the end of it without banging my head (suitly named level...)... I guess I need a little practice...
I won't be sending my times to Moposite just yet because everytime I play I seem to beat a couple of them so maybe I'll hold them off for a while or maybe I'll just send them now and send them again later...
Cheers

DamRho, that is just plain stupid. You don't send your times to moposite to get your final results. Abula updates the times every other weekl, if everyone thought like you did we would maybe have 50 ppl in TT list.
No regrets

Yeah I've kind of realised that I sent in my times anyway lolJuski wrote:DamRho, that is just plain stupid. You don't send your times to moposite to get your final results. Abula updates the times every other weekl, if everyone thought like you did we would maybe have 50 ppl in TT list.
But a few of them, specially in the later levels which I haven't played that much (and a few of my most hated ones, like Animal Farm) have quite pathetic times (I had over 6 minutes on Apple Collector until yesterday because I had only played the level once!)
