Your biggest misbeliefs about Elma/EOL

[iCS]

My top3:

in the old Elma 1.0 - 1.2 era:
- slesk001.rec (MOPOCO15.lev Impsybility hard version) is a hack replay, such hardcore piping is not possible for human

when I found EOL:
- Elma Online is a browser game edition of Elma

First days in EOL:
- orka lev means ugly like an Ork lev

[insane guy]

I`'ve always thought (and still think) that "psy", as in "impsy", means "possible". Sadly no one else uses it that way.

Classics like changing direction has no impact on the physics of the bike (e.g. when falling from start straight onto a polygon) stuck with me for more than 10 years.

Also I thought that Orcc would be ugly like an Orc but he isn't.

i thought elma can only run at 30fps because i didn't know that there was an fpsconfig anywhere and my computer was shit and elma is a pretty old game

- thinking that Jappe2 is Jeppe
- reading bamilan as "bamilian"
- reading anpdad as "andpad"

When i tried to join eol 1st time in 2011 it was impsy cuz there was some complex puzzle required (like 1)register 2)pm request to KD kuski here on lauta 3)profit), so i just rambled around, readed eol rules, features osv and i discovered battle types, namely "one-life".
When i finally connected to eol there was battle in ONExxx.lev by Ramone ongoing and i thought it was onelife battle and drived very slowly and safely.

Also thought nekit was an spambot virus (which is true)

[AndrY]

1) When i was 10, I filled lev by maskbig textures to change ground color and thought it was the only method

2) I thought that 55th lev was finished by someone, bcz i had seen video of it (now i think that i saw nitro rec, bcz its totally impsy to finish it without nitro)

3) When i played levs done in ALE, I thought that all these things was done by arms. One of first such levs I saw was consist of 100 equal rectangles (by cook imo:/) and it was a shock for meXD HOW THE HUMAN COULD DO THAT???? although this lev poss to make for 5 mins

I thought piping wasn't possible.

At first when I just had joined #across on irc I saw, for the most part, mila writing "damez" at regular times.
For example "damez didn't get 14.20 even in warm up" etc.
I thought it was a person so one day I asked who it was xD everybody laafd.

[farnsworth]

Thought tl was a bot to make random levels, to fill gaps. I joined eol at a time when TL just had gotten 1 year chat ban:)
Also thought all mopo recs was fake

[analcactus]

1) i am anpdad
2) thought that there are two guys, one is technical ultra all records holder (mopo), second one explorer of game abuses (slesk)
3) for months i thought that to add gravity to levels in editor is the prerogative of Balazs and only later i have disovered RMB-on-apple
4) the biggest misbelieve is that i thought that the elma mans are crap

That Lassi was a friend of Abula.

I remember playing old moposite levels in 2003 and being very impressed by most of the times by Lassi. "Damn, Abula's friend Lassi sure can drive good times" I thought.

I told Abula about this in FEM18, he had a good laugh about it
