Elma Around the World

Epsilon · Post by **Epsilon** » 22 Mar 2003, 23:21

As Elma is spreading into many countries, all over the world, I had this idea to take some maps and fill in with some color all of the countries that elma reached. so, it is finished and looks good as many said to me.
Take a look :

If you find any mistakes, tell me here please.

Australia and New Zealand isn't in Asia, but in Oceania.

I think elma reached Argentina, not sure.

Otherwise, this thing rules! Keep up the good work

Hmmm, elma still hasn't reached the vatican. We've got to get the pope into playing elma some way

elma has reached china..... TEAM7 and his friends plays elma and goes to moposite. TEAM7's totaltime is a bit over 1 hour etc... he haven't sent his times to moposite yet though I guess

TomCat · Post by **TomCat** » 25 Mar 2003, 16:18

When i saw this topic i was hoping for seeing a map where the elma-reached countries are filled with some color

So i got what i would have liked to see, i really like this idea, its great!

Epsilon · Post by **Epsilon** » 19 Apr 2003, 16:12

Updated :

I added some new countries and fixed some design problems.

http://www31.brinkster.com/tsmile/world

New countries : China, Zimbabwe, Egypt, Thailand, Argentina, Turkey, Latvia

Don't forget to tell me about any problem with this page (including missing countries and so)

Comments:
* Asia and Oceania won't be seperated because i don't have seperated maps
* If you can't reach the page, try again (it always happens)

you know, the poor pope has parkinson....
so maybe he could brake some records ! nobody can press the arrows in speed of 20 clicks in a second like him !
he's cool....

and back to the basic idea... - it's really interesting... but i can't see the page (i tried 3 times).

Post by **Abula** » 20 Apr 2003, 00:14

I took a look to Moposite visitor statistics and found out that there are visitors (and players) also from Austria and Tonga (over 700 visits?!).

The statistics of the visitors of the elastomania.com.

WkE · Post by **WkE** » 20 Apr 2003, 04:03

1. Barbados - probably an american with lap-top, don't you think ?
2. Namibia - I saw once in national geographic a series about their deserts, and there was motorcyclists too, so maybe namibia likes bikes....

3. Gibraltar - ooh for god sake ! gibraltar is a beach and a half !! like 1, but instead american, a spanish.....

the vatican REALLY supposed to be the next country to be in the list.
(-Hello, pope ?
-yeah, who's talkin' ?
-kuski
-oh well. what do you want ?
-can you please download elma ?
-just a minute *downloading elma*
-so ? are you playing ?
-yeah... this is... worm up ? uh no, warm up... yeah i finished it...
-good. what time ?
-hmm 13,98. is it good ?
*sound of fall*
(pope again) -hello ? somebody's there ? h-e-l-l-o ?? btw, my time is 1:13,98, my mistake...)

Epsilon · Post by **Epsilon** » 20 Apr 2003, 12:10

Just looking at the last post, everyone knows where you came from WorstKuskiEver...

(Nothing wrong man, Israel rules!)

Now, I think I should remove the Vatican from this list... After we got that joke now...

And also, this list adds many many new countries... but i don't think everyone that just gave a little look at elastomania.com is declared as a kuski... a real kuski should also be known somehow over the scene...
That's why i'm not willing to add Austria, Uruguay, Barbados and so...

Epsilon · Post by **Epsilon** » 20 Apr 2003, 12:16

oh... I will be very thankful Abula if you can give me a little corner on the moposite server to put that little map project so anyone can reach it faster and wouldn't complain (what can I do? the brinkster server sucks)

Directory size = 652 KB

(I can compress the images more if needed)

thank you

If I can put it to Stuff section too.

1. yeah israel is tiny too.... but we have some good kuskis. i just didn't thought that gibraltar could have elma somewhere... it's just so WEIRD ! (but i'm quite sure that a tourist kuski entered to a hotel-computer there, and this is the enter... sounds reasonable to me).

2. good thought. who can play elma there ? there are only guards and archbishops and the pope... maybe they are even not connected to the internet.

Tantal · Post by **Tantal** » 9 May 2003, 22:35

This thing is quite cool

Some errors though: It should be North- and Central America I think. Latin America is the same as South America. Some countries are missing, but those are only small ones so it probably doesn't matter. There are also some countries which are really not independent countries such as French Guyana (France) and Puerto Rico (USA).

im so dumb i dont know where latvia is, but i saw a player from latvia today

Epsilon · Post by **Epsilon** » 10 May 2003, 00:49

Ky.Jelly : Asian map is completely fine
Tantal : I found only those exact maps so central america with north america and oceania with asia...nothing i can do
dz : heh, latvia is in europe, near russia, and it's included there. their flag is red/white/red stripes horizontally (dark red)

Post by **SveinR** » 12 May 2003, 16:46

And Norway lost the year before that again, so we didn't participate last year. And we're gonna lose again now, but unfortunately the rules have been changed. No-one misses the next...

world wide domination coming soon to threads soon

Epsilon · Post by **Epsilon** » 25 Aug 2004, 13:16

I'm preparing an update (more like a remake) of this. I will try to set up better graphics this time, and i'll make sure to include every country with independence on the lists. I also have to improve the division between continents, and stuff like that.
I already have several countries to add which i saw on elmaclub.com, and i would like you to tell me here or anywhere about other interesting countries that you've seen in the scene (i'm not going to include countries which you know there is some guy there that played the demo once and nothing more, etc. only countries from which people have made interaction with the scene [irc, lauta, moposite, other sites] count).

Thanx.

Sparrow · Post by **Sparrow** » 26 Aug 2004, 07:51

hi... this map thingy max goad but u made little mistake.
u see, that flag u put over serbia is old sfrj (socijalisticka federativna republika jugoslavija).
team WEB has players from 4 ex-yugoslavia republics (croatia,bosnia and herzegovina, macedonia and serbia) so actualy all those 4 republics make our fictional country.
so it would be nice, if u put that flag over those countries too.
i know this is confusing, but we made our team we decided that we will all be from SFRJ and nat from our separate countries
oki?

Epsilon · Post by **Epsilon** » 26 Aug 2004, 11:04

well, ok... i'll do it when i do the update with everything. can i just put the own falg of each of the 4 countries instead of the same old yugoslavian flag over all of them? it would just look weird if i put the same flag four times. i can also erase the borders between the countries and make it as one big country but then i should do it for slovenia too. i prefer just to put each country individually, as the countries are seperated today.

chux · Post by **chux** » 29 Aug 2004, 02:51

UK/GBR is actually 5 countries...England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland (itd make it look like there are more elma-ing countries

)
Nice thing though

Epsilon · Post by **Epsilon** » 29 Aug 2004, 06:22

i preferred to put all the UK as one country. and as far as i know, ireland is not part of the uk, only northern ireland. anyway, are any of the uk players from scotland/wales/north ireland?

chux · Post by **chux** » 5 Sep 2004, 15:17

omg, youre right, no Ireland. What a mongo I am...

Im not sure of any non-Enlgand UK players...there has to be

Epsilon · Post by **Epsilon** » 5 Sep 2004, 18:05

yes you are a mongo, indeed

anyway, i remade the whole thing. address is the same as before. take a look, and inform me about any mistakes or anything else.

Main changes :

Different design, not sure if even better. it doesn't really matter.
Different outline maps used, better ones this time.
Converted the whole thing into a database and php pages, and made it display percentage of coutnries. I can maybe add more cool thinngs like that but it seems useless.
Asia and Oceania are now seperated.
New countries : Uzbekistan, Armenia, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, UAE, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Macedonia

that's about all.
