Who is addicted to Elma?

Post by Jonas »

I just wonder. I´ve heard Ramone talk about it so I wonder how many of you guys is addicted???
Could you delete your Elma?
And do you think of Elma when you don´t play??
How long will it take before you stop play?
And how long time will it go when you decided to stop till you relly stop?

pft..i'll never stop..
the day i stop, is the day I die..I might step down in my playing (like I am now) but when/if I get my motivation back i'll play as hell again..
I think and talk about elma everyday...I play almost every time i have the chance, but now my comp is mofekked...

Same as DC, i think (now) that i'll never stop it, even i've never thought about leaving it, coz it is fun, and i like it. And yes, i'm addicted (couldn't delete my elma folder. even i didn't moved it since i installed the game!! the directory's date is 2001 february :D).
I'm thinking about it quite a lot while not playing it, like when walking on the street or sitting in the train, etc... (no, not planning where to improve internals :D like dmd do(did))

Like \DC and KD I can't stop playing elma. And when I'm not playing I think about elma. If I have a really boring lesson in school I'm drawing own levels (I have good grades anyway). In the evenings when I should go to bed I play elma instead, the result: I'm almost sleeping in school...:)
In november I bought Xbox thought I would stop playing elma a little but it became the opposite I still play elma much more then I play Xbox...
Addicted?......me?.....noooooooo

I can't stop playing completely, not at the moment..but it's very easy to reduce elma time. I need some cruising here and there but höyling is boring. My plan was (and still is) to stop serious playing after wcup -> more time for other things

Denying addiction is the worst thing, you guys who are doing that are probably the worst addicts. :P
The best way to not get addicted is to not buy/get an own computer, I played Across/Elma for 3 or 4 years before being addicted (read: bought own computer). I could just play for fun and it wasnt anythign I thought of. Now I think about Elma too often.

I guess I'm addicted, I play elma at least a_little_bit every day if I am on the computer(which is about 7 days a week :) )
I also tend to think about elma when I'm not playing, especially in these wcup days.

Actually I did delete my Elma once, and I didn't play it for 8 months. But see, I'm stuck again.
Don't think I ever will stop playing Elma again. Maybe some periods I won't play anything, but only short periods.

It is like smoking, you can't get rid of it, only don't play(smoke) for let's say 50 years :D

Jonas: AFTER you got addicted, i mean of course. It is said that nobody can really stop smoking, only not smoke for a while. (so physical addiction can get healed, but mental not that easy)
