Good idea tej, but some levels are very much different without apples. In level 11 the apple is important: you have to dodge it to get to the secret area. And in level 15 you have to take left gravity apple to reach the secret area. So please play the original levels

zebra

So, here we go!

Remember to play online and save all your best recs and secret area recs!

Only 11 hours to start!!! I decided that I won't try to hide times during the event. It will be more fun to spy and easier for me to organize this competition. Also you will know when to stop höyling if you aim to get best time in a level. Well, there is not much time for höyling a single level but ...

Went jogging in the morning. The route was same as last year. I thought that it may be a bit cooler in the morning but it was REALLY hot. That's why the pace wasn't anywhere near good but it was still worth it. Very beautiful lake and I also saw some horses and dogs. https://www.sports-tracker.com/w...

Thanks pawq for organizing this! Really unique competition.
Random pairs was good thing, although I ended up playing with three different players (veezay, csorfab and Zweq)

But it didn't really matter and it was very fun to play!

zebra

Big thanks for organizing this kind of competition, Ruben!
I enjoy these kind of short battles. Really intense feeling here at FEM!
Didn't really like the tricky levels but at least the last level was good

zebra

This contest will take place on Monday 16.7.2018 at 24:00 Finnish time (GMT 21:00)! So you will have the whole Tuesday to play the levels

zebra

Yep, Monday night is possible starting time too. Then people would have whole Tuesday to play the pack as well. But that's the latest time I can organize it. But it's OK for me. Quite many players are there still on Tuesday I guess. I think I will settle the FFC7 at 20:00 on Monday, you can choose ...

Oh, nice, I feel flattered :D Am I the idol? ;) UHSEP (Ultra Hyper Super Extreme Pro) levels were designed for quick battles, so this level pack differs at least there (i guess these haven't been battled). But very nice idea to sort levels by fastest time! Will be interesting pack to play. I will ch...

zebra

That's ok too. FIFA finals will most probably be quite boring with no goals, so it's good to have something to play during it

I prefer not to have two elma competitions simultaneously, but that's ok if it's otherwise the best solution.

zebra

Sounds ok for me

About the schedule - there has been a lot of discussion about the beer battle schedule. The strongest option is on Saturday during the FIFA world cup bronze game, which starts at 17:00. Would someone here, who is planning to play beer battle, have some objections on this? The game would be shown on...

zebra

Some guesses about schedule: - FEM Quiz?: Saturday - Beer battle: Saturday - First Finish Cup: Sunday - my 24h level pack: Monday - Tuesday - Couples Contest: cancelled? - 24TT: ? - what else is planned? Please discuss :) These are only my guesses. And this list contains only Elma events; there can ...

I would want good games recommendations similar to these: 1. ELMA 2. WoW (vanilla-wotlk kinda style) 3. Stardew Valley 4. MapleStory (old grindfest versions not new) especially want MMORPG that doesn't suck and can be run on bad computer from 2012 or anything that can be höyled like ELMA in a nice ...

zebra

If it's hard to match a rec with a run, I think It's better to go with the "witness system". It shouldn't be a big problem because it's only 24 hours and I try to be online as much as I can.

zebra

Thanks for feedback, danitah! Sounds awesome, hope it's open for people not attending FEM also! :) Yes, you can play even if you are not attending FEM. And you will be included in results. Now when I think about it, I can give medals also for people not attending FEM. The other awards are not possib...

Cool! Nice to see you all there!

Last year there was some discussion that should we include some "programmer's meeting"?
What about "level maker's meeting" or at least some kind of collaboration?
Just thinking...

Hello all! It's still a month until FEM2018 starts, but it's already time to GET STOKED! :D That's because I'm going to release my newest level pack in FEM2018. The level pack is a tribute to Virri Farm (Virrin tila) where the last Finnish Elma Meetings have been organized. If this is the last time ...

zebra

Hello! Good to have discussion about ranking systems :) My opinions here: I'm strongly against losing points when battling. That doesn't make any sense. Do we really want to drive players away? If I knew that I might lose points by playing battles, I would only pick the best battles, not play any &q...

zebra

I'm also confirmed. I'll arrive on Friday or Saturday and leave on Wednesday.
And my 24h level pack is also quite confirmed. I've been designing some nice levels already

Hopefully we will find a good day for that kind of competition.

Would be disgusting to play all internals after 10 km running. But could work the other way around: Internals -> running-> sauna?

Anyway I think I wouldn't be participating, because I haven't played internals in a long time... It would take the whole day to finish them all

Finished reading! I read through the whole article. It was worth it! The errors I found: An hungarian programmer -> A hungarian programmer meikäkäisiä -> meikäläisiä for exmaple -> for example succesful -> successful --- 4. Teams: Other active and successful teams in the Across years were T98, HC, a...

Congratulations, Spef! Normally I'm not so interested in internal times and total times, but this achievement is totally astonishing! Especially when there were such legendary names against you (Zweq and Kazan). I think this is as big achievement as going under 40 minutes few years back, because 35 ...

zebra

I'm also currently reading the article through and seeking some typos etc. But it will take at least a week for me to finish. Very impressive article!

zebra

Sure, all competitions are nice! Thanks :) It might be a good idea if it was not just a TT because then it will be sensible to try to get the best time in just a single level and hence contribute with a smaller effort. Good point. There could be some special levels where I would give prize to the b...

zebra

I have an idea of a new kind of contest: 24h level pack : - I will be making couple of (good?) levels and releasing them at FEM. - I will give you 24 hours time to play them. - The player with best total time will win. - There will be some prizes too. So it will be like TT battle, but not a "ba...

zebra

Yep, it's a shame that we don't have a ranking system. Some years ago I played trackmania. In trackmania, you get points by beating better players than you. And the better players you beated, the more points you got. It worked nicely and I felt like winning if I got most points (even if I didn't win...

zebra

I agree with Sla in the sense that I think that there could be separate total time targets which were not calculated just by summing up the individual level targets. Those separate total time targets could be rounded. For example: Beginner 1 hour OK 49:00:00 Good 43:00:00 Professional 40:00:00 WC 38...

zebra

My TT is 48.xx and for me 47.xx is nearly impossible so I wouldn't say that 39.xx is easy.

zebra

Hi! I finished all the levels!!! :) According to stats, I was 5th to finish all the levels, after mena, roope, jblaze and Hosp. My total time 2:35:07,43 seems to be around 20 minutes worse than other player's total times, but I'm still happy with it because my goal was only to finish all the levels....

Abula, nice to hear that my old battle statistics are useful. If some important files are missing, please tell me and I try to search for them. http://zebra.mbnet.fi/battles_battle.html monthly and annual stats missing! kulde.net doesn't work anymore Oh, back then there wasn't enough space for big ...

Nice to hear Orcc. I had the same situation 2 years ago

Decided to skip FEM then but will come this year if I get permission

I'm also quite surprised to see myself nominated in designer category, having only designed one level pack this year. Umiz should have deserved a nomination. But anyway, thanks for nomination!

The only really annoying thing still for me is the space between posts and signatures and next post. Everything is equally spaced without any boarders, so I end up reading ppls signatures all the time... I found out that you can hide avatars and signatures from board's settings . Then it's much eas...

Where I'm at with my thinkings is that there is a good chance I can include the old physics into the game as a next step without spending too much development time. I mean doors, elevators and teleports would be in the game together with the old physics. But I will try to do that only in January. S...

Amazing, Abula! Very thorough article. Read about 50% of the new stuff. Have to read more carefully later

Some typos/grammar mistakes which I found:
Moposhool -> Moposchool
to not figure out -> not to figure out

zebra

Good question, kuchitsu! I have some _excuses_ why I don't make levels anymore: - first (like 10 years ago) I wanted to cut out my elma time. I was playing too much. So I quitted level making and tried to play minimum amount of time. - then I bought a new laptop. Elma internal editor didn't work at ...

Very nice! Very good writing. Nice to look back to Across times

Can't really find any mistakes except some small typos:
Uruguy -> Uruguay
definately -> definitely
defination -> definition
Alhough -> Although

Oh and I was also jogging on Wednesday. I wanted to go alone but perhaps next year I could go with someone else too. I visited "Piimäsjärvi" and I have to say the scenery there was magnificent. Distance was 13,5 km. Sports tracker workout here: http://www.sports-tracker.com/workout/harrii/...

I am also at home now. It was great time! Was nice to see new people. Each year there has been quite many new guys to meet, which is nice. I am also a bit quiet but it's normal for me. But I can usually talk quite normally with talkative persons like Ramone. So it was nice to have him there. I also ...

Hello. This is mainly for people at FEM, but others can also join unofficially. The official winner will be selected at FEM and will be the one with best total time.

Hello mans! I'm now confirmed! My weekends are full but I have vacation on the week so I'll be there from Monday to Thursday.
I'll probably arrange some sort of TT contests on Tuesday/Wednesday.
Too bad I miss the legendary FEM quiz and WC7 trophies... but waiting for Ramone's level pack at least

Very nice recs, Schumi, I enjoyed!
Nice retro feeling in the levels
