I also quittedishness (like third time now), no time to play due to work etc blablabla

but i dont believe this topic. quitting this game is like quitting to drink alcohol - the guarantee that it will last forever is substantially low or nonexistant because its such a lightweight easy to start game that you wont ever delete.

no one truly deletes elma, even if you insist that you will, or you will save your created levels/recs/state in that harddrive that contains important files and porn and you all know it. and the only reason you would do that is that you dont want to sewer your ties to the game. In other words: you do not truly want to quit, you simply want an extensive break. Otherwise you would delete the shit out of every file that has ever had to do anything with elma and not backup teh

once i didnt as much as glance at elma for 3 years (still came back in 2011 fulltime)

Countless more people have quit compared to the very few who still play.

ofcourse i know that, my entire team from back in 2003-2006 is gone for example. My point is: Im not believing in this topic. People seemingly pop in and declare on the spot they are quitting indefinately after a few days of undecisive thinking cuz they are annoyed at the game right now or such. This sounds extremely final.

If you gradually stop playing over a period and dont show up for a long time then you have stoppped playing for now, or forever, and thats that. The reason i dont believe in this topic is because the evidence that its bull is right here. Tons of players have declared definate quittage and people are like nooo dont quit /cry, and then they eventually came back within a very measurable period of time.

and now i have really overexplained this, please dont post a counter argument :D

I was very busy lately. Now when I have time, I can't play this game for more than 5-10 minutes if at all. When I'm at home I have nothing better to do... I think I need some longer break to rediscover the fun.

Same with 95% of ppl who post in this topic. I myself am going through the same process right now again, so i'm playing less and less, but with time the hunger to play will return.

Or untill summerbreak when you find yourself without a job/vacation and lack of other meaningful hobbies to pursue. I know i did exactly that last summer.

on a different note, it would be interesting to see statistics during the different periods/quarters of year when most/least ppl are playing.

Actually I had this fallback moment on the 17th of march at about 1 AM. I felt like playing elma just to discover it totally vanished from the only computer I have. Quite a shocking revelation. I have no memory of doing that, but I probably did it myself. Noone ever touches my computer. So anyway, I went to download IcyTower instead for my quick fix and noticed my eyes began to tear within a couple of minutes. So yeah, I have to go with Thundr here, but chances are slim that I will be playing elma anytime soon. Lauta, however... =)

I have to say something, i just deleted my belma and EOL folders completely. Elma folder is gone (3gb).
So i guess im quitting elma for now :=

Elma is the only game i have, the only game i played for more than 2 weeks in a row in almost 6 years.
And have to say that it was the best.

Sadly i wont make more movies since i deleted all stuff, thats very sad sorry, i had some good plans for movies.

Im wanted to make this formal cyu) i cant delete lauta so i ez come now and then to check tt under 35 etc.
No one knows that i play elma this hard except you, no even family or friends, so thats why i do this postik)

thats it, just wanted to thank you and wish luck.

and what, why are you idling here, waiting for what? it's obvious nobody wants you to quit, are you whoring for some attention now? waiting for people to hold you by hand and shout pablo pablo please dont go!?

you didnt even mention the reason youre quitting because, uni or what or maybe some hate/boredom about scene?
even i dont want you to quit although still remember when you begged me for the nitro patch and i told you many times just to try it out and not to do any internal or external times after you promised you won't you went mad anyway and did some stupid times e.g. 7.xx in steppes. and i got banned just because you begged for the patch on your knees and you didnt even say sorry

all in all after watching you on a tinychat camera i have no doubt that as i said many times your social skills are the same of a tail-waving dog being happy that his man came home. on the other hand you are an excellent piper whose skills are always amusing, especially those volts headind head to floor in tight pipes

just take a break and come back, and maybe you will finally say sorry for what you did to me


of wouldve forgotten to mention take some english classes ffs

Why quitting? uni, also dont want to spend time on computer gaming.

Why posted here? why not?? o,o cant say bb in QUITTING TOPIC?, (NOT LETS FIGHT TOPIC).

Most likely you'll come back to it. Of course it's smart to take distance if it's keeping you from concentrating on uni, but deleting everything? You could've saved it on a drive and hidden it somewhere safe. :)
then again i don't know anything
maybe easier not to think abouut alöl things thought than not things thought ... or something..=?
