Value of Replays

Ramone · Post by **Ramone** » 4 Jul 2004, 21:52

Why cant ppl get themselfs to delete all replays?

Why?

Are they of any real value... and even if you delete them you know how you drove.

Maybe I should delete mine...

I don't know....

Sometime, i tell myself : Â« hey , maybe i should delete some recs....Â»

But then, i look at how much i have and i don't want no more to delete....

I got 1 700 recs

I've heard replayes are needed if your are to send in for a WR...

Boomer · Post by **Boomer** » 4 Jul 2004, 22:03

Well, maybe I should delete some. I have 1600 replays and 2400 levels. OMG.

Ramone · Post by **Ramone** » 4 Jul 2004, 22:14

9758

But then I lost most when I backed up.

But what the fuck.. just shit shit shit

I should delete ALL!

Boomer · Post by **Boomer** » 4 Jul 2004, 22:16

You can at least save your WR

It's one of the most beautiful recs I've ever seen.

New Replay account: 0

(and Boomer, IÂ´ve seen that rec too many times)

sierra · Post by **sierra** » 4 Jul 2004, 22:34

i might cut down to just my own recs, mopo recs and wr recs

i mean i have so many pointless ones, like about twenty different Steppes recs from when i was trying to do the shortcut

10fack.rec, 10noo.rec, 10cunts.rec, 10NOOOO.rec, 10soclose.rec etc etc

and of course now that i made it, those recs are so dumb to look at

Ramone · Post by **Ramone** » 4 Jul 2004, 22:42

sierra, exactly... like I didnt had tons of enigma and zz recs... for no use... kill replays...

btw. allready got 2 replays...

Napoleon · Post by **Napoleon** » 4 Jul 2004, 23:00

i got 1544 recs

but i think it is a very bad thing that people is beginning to sell their good replays for money ;<
a replay aint 5 or 10 euro worth

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 5 Jul 2004, 00:19

Why teh hell should we delete our replays ?

Most are good to have, and too much work to find the useless ones, and it's not like a replay takes up that much disc space.

Zweq · Post by **Zweq** » 5 Jul 2004, 09:50

well at least I never needed any of those 'fucked up' recs, just best time recs for internals/externals are smt i watch sometimes, BUT...still... why the fuck to del, one of the crazy ramo ideas again

Revolt · Post by **Revolt** » 5 Jul 2004, 15:08

i got heaps of recs where i fucked up a 'good' run and saved it to see how much i was in front of my rec

recs i really only need atm: mopo, wrs i have, my recs

Ramone · Post by **Ramone** » 6 Jul 2004, 22:33

I guess I change my mind. Why should replay be less worth cause they are free? Does only things that cost have value? Thinging about it just feel stupid to say that, what we like, we value. Not just expensive TVÂ´s and Alcohol. Also, I feel I maybe made something abit too hasty, some recs could be good to have still haha...

But, since I accually deleted them, but did not trow out my TV, which I wanted many times... does that mean recs are less worth for me? Or just that IÂ´m a cheap bastard? (I dont think ppl find me a cheap bastard).... fuck!

I dont know what....

Maybe its your way of easing yourself into quitting...get rid of elma one bit at a time...
Hope not though

Next step is deleting all levels, then state.dat, and finally .res file.

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 7 Jul 2004, 11:58

Then I think the smash of a hammer fits better. Way faster.

Ramone · Post by **Ramone** » 7 Jul 2004, 14:36

nono... levels are hardest to delete.. I could deleta state.dat and shit.. but not levels.. I have so many levels no one played.. thats why I cant delete.... well... argh

Just backup everything on some cd for example and after that delete whatever you want. If you really really feel like getting some replay back someday, you can check that cd.

ramone is strange sometimes indeed. What the problem with recs? Just move them to somewhere else and rec folder is clean again. No need to lose the recs. Or maybe the issue was about something deeper, I don't know.

So fun when people delete their Elmas ("I won't play that shit ever again!") and after some months they are messaging me ("Abula please, you have my state.dat please send me...").

I save replays of my internal top10 times. And lots of FUCK, ShiT.. recs. I don't even remember when I last time deleted them. Replays doesn't take disk space so much so it's not problem.

That top10 saving is maybe for confirming top10 times as long as replays can confirm anything. Imo they should be saved automatically to some own Top10rec -folder.

sierra · Post by **sierra** » 9 Oct 2004, 15:56

imo replays are of the highest value. apart from times, replays are the only thing that makes me whane play. to create a nice replay, that people will admire, well, what more do you whane do in Elma? i tell you, i'd rather have my shitty TT with all my own replays than have 39 mins without anything to watch.

MJXII · Post by **MJXII** » 9 Oct 2004, 19:11

You like to watch your own replays?

But yes. What possible reason is there for not keeping recs? It's not leik they're 100MB each

John · Post by **John** » 9 Oct 2004, 20:09

I cant remove my recs, sach many memories I have with different recs and levs ;X
