When ELMA addiction becomes too huge?

Risord · Post by **Risord** » 20 Oct 2005, 15:58

I play only ELMA about 3-6 hours in single day (Is it too much?)
Sometimes I spent even 3-4 hours in one level!
My record of playing ELMA in one day is 9 hours, is that crazy?

I'm too addicted to ELMA? How i can get out of this for a while?

For your last question, you should remove elma from your computer if you really want to stop playing it..

I'm going to do that as "soon" as I get TT under 40... I'll save my state.dat and replays somewhere but I wont play this game after I get under... At least I hold a very long brake...

I ever deleted the game and burned to cd, found the cd again a year later and began to play.

it's because I went on the site again. damn I had so much free time for other things while not playing elma.

imo elma should be considered like any other hobby but it shouldn't be prioritised before school, job etc

and if u think u play much, u probably do..and if not, then not..

Risord, ask here if you play too much, not the best idea, because half of the people here play WAY to much.

8-ball · Post by **8-ball** » 20 Oct 2005, 21:15

priorities:
1. friends/parties/etc 2. school 3. insert useful stuff here 4. turbo sliders 5. elma

Lukazz · Post by **Lukazz** » 20 Oct 2005, 21:18

elma is more important than school, everything is more important than school

CMc · Post by **CMc** » 20 Oct 2005, 21:18

I played for a year or so in 2000, then decided to quit for a while. 1 year later I started again, which was a HUGE mistake. Now it's too late; it's taken me over. 5-6 hours a day (atleast). I feel you Risord.

Wezz · Post by **Wezz** » 20 Oct 2005, 21:30

And u even have a job besides

Seriously, its way addicting, and sometimes its just way too much :X

I play like 20 minutes per day so I suppose yes, you are addicted.

Boomer · Post by **Boomer** » 21 Oct 2005, 07:52

Risord · Post by **Risord** » 21 Oct 2005, 09:12

"elma is more important than school, everything is more important than school" hmm...Yes it is

very wise words

Some day I PRO!!!

J-sim · Post by **J-sim** » 21 Oct 2005, 09:40

I can almost say with honesty in my voice that I'm not addicted to elma anymore. Not physically addicted atleast.

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 21 Oct 2005, 13:26

it's really hard to say how much do i play a day
i play when i have nothing to do, nothing more, nothing less
so sometimes i don't play for a few days and sometimes 6 hours a day 3 days in a row..
elma is a hobby:)

sierra · Post by **sierra** » 21 Oct 2005, 13:45

irc max more more important than elma. i only open elma to

1) battle (play and levmake)
2) watch other people's recs eg. some new wr, new style
3) desperately try some internal hoyl and give up after 10 minutes in frustration

Raven · Post by **Raven** » 23 Oct 2005, 19:21

I played much much much and then got girlfriend, and now have played elma less

Jake · Post by **Jake** » 23 Oct 2005, 19:40

like sierra said...irc is like 10x more important than elma,if i donÂ´t have irc open itÂ´s same as iÂ´ll shut the comp and leave the apartment.

so elma is just for battles and thats all,but still it takes few hours of the day sometimes =)

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 24 Oct 2005, 00:22

These days, i play elma for like 3-4 hours a week, really dropped my old average which was like 3-4 hours a day...

Joined #battle yesterday and, got the elma feeling back...such a cool channel

CMc · Post by **CMc** » 24 Oct 2005, 03:07

dunedan · Post by **dunedan** » 25 Oct 2005, 22:06

It started to get a bit boring, but I'm still playing..

Such a great game!
