[Bismuth]

typo: Bjoern

[roope]

He happens to be in the Talvi site as Bjoern. And oe = ö

[Kortsu]

Don't feed the troll.

[Xiphias]

typo: Bjoern

the reason why bjorn has written bjoern is because his name is most likely Bjørn and ø is sometimes written as oe.. coz can't use "special" characters in electronic shits.
therefore nat typo :O

[Bismuth]

Don't feed the troll.

It was not a troll

Well, to me it was more of a Bjorn (though I know that ö stuff) so felt weird to see oe, thanks for explanation

[Pab]

shategak and play

[Bjenn]

In irc ramzi used to call me bjoern all the time so i just thought it was funny to write it like that, and indeed bjoern you write when you dont have ö.
So not a typo.

[ville_j]

Note: Finland has moved to summer time (GMT+3) and so has the server, so if your country doesn't have daylight saving it means the deadline is one hour earlier than before. Anyways there is the counter on the site so it shouldn't be too hard xD

[Cfilorvy]

Have to say this event was really cool
Got best time on wednesday and haven't played much since, but nice level.
Right now I can't wait for next event :p

[Xiphias]

double event not error? just checking

[roope]

Yes, is double event

[ville_j]

I'm no nab, double event indeed!

[nick-o-matic]

Oo, very many nice recs and styles, grats Rooker. I think this was the first really cuppishly cup level of the cup so far - others have been more or less a disappointment for me to be honest so too bad didn't play this one.

[The_BoneLESS]

Yeah, was awesome level. Too bad (even though is a very positive thing) i found a job recently, gives me less time to play this awesome cup.

[ville_j]

Yeah it was interesting looking all the recs. Well, too bad you haven't really liked other levels. Maybe the problem is that when I made all these levels, I didn't think too much that I should make "cupish" levels, I just did whatever I do when I make normal battle levels. But anyways, I don't think all the cup levels have to be that kind of multistyle levels. You can still have some different styles even though the main route is the same. Well, ok I have to admit that all of the levels have been quite smooth driving, so not many possibilities there either. Ofc I could have made all the events crazy multistyle but I just didn't want to o,o But I can tell that the last two events are quite multistylish, so don't lose hope! =)

[zebra]

I feel the same way as nick-o-matic. I stopped playing because the levels were irritating and not very cup-style.

[FinMan]

Great job with the latest level. And agree with other players, not so cupish levels before.

[The_BoneLESS]

The Mariana Trench is one cool level, too bad i only managed to play it 30 minutes up till now...

Super hoyling for the next hour and a half!


Offtopic: Damn, haven't played elma for 5 days, personnal record!

[ville_j]

Oh, thankx xD Well, romy4 won the 8th event with not that big difference, grats to him! New event will start in about 30 minutes, and I am happy to tell that it's a level by niN. I will not tell too much, but I guess many who haven't really liked the previous levels will like this event (and the last event also).

Top-5 after eight events:

Code: Select all

1. Rooker [NK]        651
2. Bjoern [EF]        594.5
3. romy4              575
4. BoneLESS [HHIT]    538.5
5. talli [EPO]        524.5

Rooker seems to have quite a big lead, but I think anything can still happen inside the top-5, and ofc outside of it too xD

[niN]

Why do you use levs from this "niN" guy in your cup? This really ruined Talvicup for me...

[Bismuth]

max nab levmaker indeed

[Mawane]

First one to guess the level name right, gets 3 points.

i should have 9 points, fix the bug plz

[ville_j]

Oh god. It is added when the event is over. It's not a bug.

[Bjenn]

No these should not count in final results, ez xiit points.
If i knew they were for final points i would have put more effort in trying to find out titles, i remember it said in rules that you hadnt decided yet wether those would count or not, i guess i assumed that it wouldnt, and i hope it will not. These kinda points has nothing to do with elma skills even. shiet

[ville_j]

Rules have remained the same since the page was launched, and I think they very clearly state that the guessing points are counted in the total player standings. Do these points have anything to do with elma skills? Ofc not, but this is Talvi Cup and I can do whatever I want. The rules have been the same all the time for all the players, maybe you should have paid more attention to those in the first place.

[Madness]

Rules for cups nowadays = lol xD

[Xiphias]

Always read the small print.

[ville_j]

Yeah. I will also send you the participation bill once the cup has ended, top-3 don't have to pay it.

Grats romy4 for winning four events and the whole cup! Also thanks to everyone who participated. Though the player amount was dropping closer to the end I think we had nice overall amount of participants, it's not that self evident now-a-days. I hope you enjoyed the cup even though the levels were not quite what some of you expected.

I'm not sure if there will be more Talvi Cup's in the future but who knows. Right now I am working on something different (very early stage though) which will hopefully bring a bit of freshness to the scene and more levels for you to enjoy. I'm not revealing too much yet because even I am not too sure how it all is going to turn out. Anyways, I am also looking forward to all the other upcoming cups, can't wait to get to play some quality levels!

[niN]

And don't forget to look who's in 8th place!

Great cup!

Grindelwald made a nice video of Talvi Cup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1nYBPFjJ2Y.

[Lukazz]

really nice vid, and nice recs. especially romy4's. ;o

[FinMan]

Would remind people of the sick style by Rooker, the gap between 3 first players was almost 6 seconds. http://talvicup.oktobia.org/?s=events&e=7 This is what i meant by saying the video by Grindelwald couldve been much better, it just showed the winner recs.
