how(+why) u play elma,anything special ?

[onlainari]

* I play elma with keyboard on my lap/knees

* I have 0/ins as my alternative esc button,and other buttons are located so I don't need to move anything to hoyl as my keyboard is on my lap

* I play from the couch,far from screen.

* My lap and butt sweats when I try to hoyl longer.

* My keyboard's space button is fucked up. Every fourth press it makes is a double-press.

I stop playing,because..

1. I start to sweat (30%)
2. I find it more interesting on IRC or I have scheduled some other PC event(such as nhl94 etc) (30%)
3. I know I can't do a satisfied result in expected time (20%)
4. I don't have time (10%)
5. I get bored of level,elma (5%)
6. I get bored of my SPACE button (5%)

I keep playing,because..

1. wanna finish the level with decent result (50%)
2. I sometimes even have a feeling I can beat some pro kuski,if I hoyl a bit more (30%)
3. I found a new style (10%)
4. I don't have anything better to do at that time (5%)
5. other (5%)

That's about all my elmishizz,if anyone care to think of their own rough estimate % and special habits and/or problems ,please share them

(so in case if u didn't notice what's the difference between "why do you play elastomania?" thread is that this deals with the elma session,not the elma in general)

I get cold fingers when I hoyl for a long time.

I play elma because:
1. I'm riding bmx and biketrial in real life.
2. I know I can get better times.
3. Because it's the best game ever made!!!

I will stop playing elma when:
1. Moposite is shut down....
2. I can't get better times (will take a while)
3. Elma 2.0 comes...

i'm playing now in an unnatural position as there's no desk at my current flat, so keyboard is placed on top of my pc tower

i stop playing because
1. My hand is aching like hell (read above for cause) - 50%
2. I get angry because i cannot finish with a decent time (not even close to my top 10) - 20%
3. Someone invites me to play CS - 20%
4. I notice its 4 am already and go to sleep - 10%

i keep on playing because
well i don't know, probably i'm addicted

I'm playing now from my bed lying, coz i was watching films nowadays, and my comp is rearranged so. It is a really bad position, my neck always hurts.
But i only stop playing coz it is morning, and have to go to lessons 100%

I use a laptop these days because I'm too lazy to fix my computer. You get used to it, the only problem is that you can't press very many keys at the same time.

I play elma:
for fun (80%)
to improve times (20%)

I stop:
when theres something else to do (70%)
when i get annoyed with it (10%)
when i get bored with it (20%)

I play in a normal position, screen in front of face, keyboard below, or on a laptop so i can watch TV at the same time
Keys:
(All default except:)
Alternate Esc: End (right above Accelerate (up arrow))
Alternate Brake: Left Alt (Never used))
Screenshot: Left Alt as well
Supervolt: 0/Ins

[onlainari]

that end as alternative esc sounds okay chukles...I have pressed my alternative esc accidentally many times at wrong places... (0/ins) guess I won't change it though

[Juish]

my alovolt is the right ctrl button

i play alot cause i think its fun or im bored, and i want sick tt, good wc status, i sweat like animal but keep playing

i stop playing cause my sis needs computer, bed0rzzz, food, school related stuff like homework and school its self.

[insane guy]

i play elma:

cause you can waste time
i stop playing when:
