story behind Stranger?

Post by dz »

maybe this is not a very good place to discuss/speculate about this specific matter since most of the browsers here are not that experienced people as in knowing past players, but anyway.

first of all, do you remember a kuski who called himself "Stranger"?
i do, mainly because when i started playing, i and npho tried to compete against him on moposites top10 level pack records.
almost all the time, aside from a couple of lucky exceptions, we got our ass kicked. i really remember admiring many of his times which seemed absolutely unbeatable.

do you remember the pipe level in wcup3 which only couple of kuskis were able to finish all the way to the flower? well, there was psy, there was markku, there was the whole cup winner - dr.luni and there was also... Stranger, who actually beat luni.

at some time during those days i mailed him one or maybe two times but never got an answer... shortly after that i remember he just suddenly disappeared. i haven't heard from him since then.

oh, one more thing; do you know moposite custom level called "gold mine"? its a well made, very very good looking level - made by Stranger.

If anyone is interrested in that level called "Gold Mine", it's MOPCU038 and you can download it here. I got it from this link on the moposite.

MOPCU038 Gold Mine Stranger BarTek [CF] 1:03,04 14 Apr 2003

Stranger has a base time on lev but that one is ez to beat..

Though I guess Bartek made cool climbing and never had to go down in pit to gain speed before entering the second "mine" *respect*

Strangers name appears cuz he made lev.. Bartek is going to erase that or what?

Well i see no one even answered that, only talked about the level.

I'm not one to answer it, since I'm new to all the elma scene.

Did moposite had that "Kuski Gallery" thing that time? Did Stranger signed up? Anyone knows in what city does he live? I think if someone is in the same city as him, he may as well know him, then we might get a clue of what happened.

(Thanks for stating the obvious, M07hM4n!)

Yeh you did quote the last person, but thanks :).

So now i'll change this topic subject again:

About that Gold Mine level...

OMG it is damn hard, i took a lot of time just to go up the first slope/hill/cliff or whatever the word is, then going up the other i found a secret(???) and still going up i died. U'd anyone have a rec of the lv for me? Thanks
