Tell me about your elma obssessions and superstitions.
I personaly have to run 3 times around my PC when i get a new rec and scracht my dick when i lose :D

MJXII · Post by **MJXII** » 19 May 2002, 22:28

Run around your PC? It's not against a wall or anything? I just can't imagine a PC being in the middle of a room =)

My only obsession when playing elma is that I alt+tab after almost every go to click the next link on mopolauta or start downloading something. But I don't have any superstitions I can think of.

do u guys fantasize about abula ?

MJXII · Post by **MJXII** » 20 May 2002, 17:15

=D seems unlikely. But that reminds me that Jeppe is my other Elma obsession

DYW265 · Post by **DYW265** » 20 May 2002, 17:18

mostley not, but sometimes when iÂ´m really bored abula suddenly appears in my wet dreams.... :lol:

MJXII · Post by **MJXII** » 20 May 2002, 18:08

I wonder if he is pleased or annoyed at this publicity?

Post by **Abula** » 20 May 2002, 18:37

I cannot get annoyed because then ribot would succeed in his project.

ThanaTos · Post by **ThanaTos** » 20 May 2002, 20:06

Abula i seriously think you should ban ribot from mopolauta :D

DacBitch · Post by **DacBitch** » 20 May 2002, 22:05

nooooooo don't ban czybe, then i would have to nuke the 'lauta!!

sorry abula but you're not that important to me :\
as a role model u can only expect humour about u , u shouldn't take it personal . humour is very important 2 me and even tho this is your forum it doesn't mean i look at it from your eyes , i find good ppl here and i communicate with them on different grounds than normal . hope u can understand some day:)

also i want to give u all respects for your sexy pic :)

DataDog · Post by **DataDog** » 21 May 2002, 16:24

Like...who got an Elma player as some kind of role model?
I can understand if anyone got me, since i'm so incredible smart and sexy, but Abula???? Have u seen this guy, he's a whacko!!!

ribot · Post by **ribot** » 21 May 2002, 17:29

especially the young ones

MJXII · Post by **MJXII** » 21 May 2002, 20:32

There are very few pictures of Abula that don't show either the back of his head or his face conveniently obscured by a shadow :) but I think you're going a bit far, DataDog. and btw elma players can make great role models :) we have sex symbols, gay icons and then n00bs like me who post too much crap too much of the time.

bob · Post by **bob** » 24 May 2002, 12:07

MJXII · Post by **MJXII** » 24 May 2002, 14:05

Hmm. It's a difficult one. You can do both, of course.

ToTaL · Post by **ToTaL** » 26 May 2002, 00:46

My only obsession is to scratch my nose or dick all the time ( sometimes other bodyparts ). I do it all teh time playing elma, i think i'n like...... afraid of elma or somthing. BTW.... DataDog, Abula is sexy. [/list]

MJXII · Post by **MJXII** » 26 May 2002, 00:50

Weeeell, I guess he's not that bad

Ramone · Post by **Ramone** » 26 May 2002, 16:20

Sometimes, when I drive times that I think is really good I save the rec like three times with the same name to be sure. Not sure why, if it because IÂ´m not sure if I pressed enter or escape after writing name or if it is of bad faith in elma....
Anyway, this I do....

MJXII · Post by **MJXII** » 26 May 2002, 17:24

I do that too! "omg 34.73 on pipe... but suppose it didn't save properly?" etc. Once I had a worse problem in that I got new times on several levels, exited elma, opened it again and all the times hadn't been saved

Ramone · Post by **Ramone** » 26 May 2002, 17:51

when I drive new times in across I allways quit, Â´cause it crashes way to often and then new times are gone, then I restart and smiles.

Never happened to me in elma what I can remember

peace

OMFG!!!!! dude that was funny!!!11 You're so much hardcore!!!!!!!

But seriously, that was the most terribly written message I have ever seen. Read it again and admire its intelligence!

Ramone · Post by **Ramone** » 12 Feb 2003, 00:22

This is a great topic and I wanna hear more of these stories. I cant come up with anythign now, so I just write here to remind you of this topic. I have driven some Records completely naked. But I dont HAVE to do that. If I sit and play I dotn wanna change, liek get dressed or soemthing. That disturbs (read: disturbed) my playing. Like when I have to visit the bathroom, and then I wash my hands... doesnt feel asd good to play. Present is best when it comes to playing.
If there is one thing I could write I guess it is one thing I am pretty conservative about. The new 1.2 patch... playing with that is really wierd. Cant do it.. menus looks different, when I start elma different looks etc... that just makes me feel I could never do a decent ride with that...

Doddddy · Post by **Doddddy** » 12 Feb 2003, 21:22

When i make a new PR i just stop playing and go talk with my family. They don't really care about it, but... I have a superstition: when i am close in making a new PR (and i am in a safe situation) i press [T] so i can't see the time anymore

KD · Post by KD » 13 Feb 2003, 09:16

I'm running around in my room, jumping and screaming if i make a wr

Anyway my father likes watching my replays and he is quite interested about my elma stuffs, funny.

Really? Me too, dude!

PS. I just noticed from the site with Abula's pic that his 20th birthday is coming up!

KD · Post by KD » 13 Feb 2003, 10:35

If i'm going for wr i often switch off the Timer, just to be more happy if i run a good time. But it happens once in a lifetime.

roope · Post by **roope** » 8 Jul 2015, 10:17

I've always thought that if I win my first battle of the day, it will be a good (elma) day o,o

Zero · Post by **Zero** » 15 Jul 2015, 05:43

Oh, nice topic

my obsession is to find a whole new levelmaking style. Something that is original and easy to recognize. I KNOW I haven't discovered my levelmaking style yet unlike umiz and guys

gimp · Post by **gimp** » 15 Jul 2015, 07:02

The only benefit to superstition s are their placebo effects. I hate to ruin all your obvious placebos but every superstition ever made is bullshit from astrology to witchcraft. But maybe you just do them for fun or some other reason I don't understand I dunno.

gimp · Post by **gimp** » 15 Jul 2015, 07:10

Okay this topic got me thinking if i have anything that can be construed of as a superstition and the only thing i could think of is that i like to wear this green head band whenever i travel to different countries. I do not have any false notions that i would think it would bring me good luck or anything like that but i like the nostalgic value of knowing that it goes where i go. is that a superstition?

roope · Post by **roope** » 15 Jul 2015, 07:51

Nah, I wouldn't call that a superstition. More like just a habit.

And yeh, of course we (or at least) I know there's nothing real behind this little "superstition" of mine. It's just a fun little thing :P

I kinda see it as your strength. You're not stuck with the same patterns and styles so you put out much more variety than many other designers (like my).

Chris · Post by **Chris** » 16 Jul 2015, 06:19

I pay more attention to roof/celling design in lev than to the rest of lev.

Bjenn · Post by **Bjenn** » 16 Jul 2015, 11:30

If I join a battle late and don't win, I always play it more afterward just to prove how bad wintime it was, and I keep play it until I am satisfied, not only to beat wintime.
Even if a new battle starts, I will play this until it has a good time and then join the current battle.

This happens often in TL levels because he always put too little time, I hate to see good levels not having a decent best time.
I also write the times I make in the chat.

Undiente · Post by **Undiente** » 25 Jul 2015, 07:48

I always pictured elma as this haven for obsessive compulsive fellas like me.

It is the modern tetris, because you can't ever really "win" a level.
And every single mistake is apparent and evident as it can be.

It'll never be perfect.

It is hell.

That's why it is addictive,
