Damn, my life is still changing. Every day is different. It's turning to another reality (the way to be an adult?).
Anyway everyday I have less and less time to do what I really like to do (or I liked to do). Race stunts at home, in competitions, build tracks, the chat, the forum, search for more stunts pages, search for pipsqueaks, etc.
Stunts was my hobby for 1 year and 5 months and now I can't stay in the same track for more than two trys, it gets bored.
It's not only about my personal life (new house, I live alone, my job, the university, friends, girls). It takes the major time but I still have free time that is inverted in my competition (updates, comments, screenshots, tracks, managing, responsing emails).
If you still see me in the chat is because I join there from my work office. I feel like a kid when he doesn't want to leave the square where is playing with his friends to go back home.
I don't wanna leave and you can see my times in ALL the competitions, just 1 try sometimes but I want to be there.
About my site I should learn php to do easier and faster my work on the site, I spend a lot of time updating with the present method.
I guess my pipsqueak "career" is ended until my competition is over. Then maybe I'll have more motivation. This desition will cost me my 2nd ISA title (because I'm sure if I race I could win) it was my best bet.
I hope I'll change my mind at least about IRC.
Ah, and let me a try on WRC, it's a cool idea, but as you can see it's not a strong performance I'm doing there or at least not a winner one. How many time was Bonzai to beat my time? 20 mins? The other day I was chatting with Akoss about 2003 zak's tracks and I couldn't remember which number is every car/track, being the most important competition.
Oh well, the idea is I'm not a pipsqueak anymore just a manager and a test driver.
Well I get what you are saying, but you can't be sure you won't suddenly have the motivation back... if someone makes a really good track and you race on it, and suddenly you drive really well and feel the Rotoi Power within you... it is only a matter of time. As it seems to me, 1 try for every track should be enough for you to clearly win the IRC season. It would be a huge loss for Stunts if you stopped racing, so please don't let little amoebas like Alain bother you (I have a feeling that was somewhere in the back of your mind when you wrote that post)
Hey Alan, I can feel with you. Job, marriage, traveling etc. took me away from the Stunts community for so long. Now I really enjoy to be back. I want to do some little competitions in future (like the three-track contest now) and I want to race ONE contest as seriously as possible next year, that's Zak's one.
Maybe it's good to take a time off sometimes so one can realize, what a community like this really means and to decide, how much time should be spent playing a computer game all the time. I still love Stunts (I wouldn't write here if not) but I decided to let it be one of my hobbies, not the center of my free time. There are other, very important things beside :)
this thread stinks :)
Yes JTK, it was my main hobby in my free time for a lot of months and I'm not motivated but it's a cool community and I don't want to be out. I don't wanna miss the meeting if it will exist, I don't wanna miss the chats, messages on forum, the personal contact with some pipsqueaks, etc. Well this last is different, I don't need race to send a letter.
BJ: You are right, he bothers me much and I don't know why. It was a hard strike against the social part, because I felt him as one of the closer persons here, but I was wrong, he couldn't be farer.
I noticed I can't leave it. Past month I raced in every track I found but this month I raced only in 1 comp.
The last place I'll leave is the chat because I join from my work ;) Anyway these days in the chat are great. We were a lot and have very good personal chats.
You can forget me as Stunts pipsqueak. Today I got disk with Heroes3 new campaign. Also things with CM going very well. So, you won't see me racing until... I hope... autumn :oops: Or maybe I'll leave Stunts forever :shock: Anyway, I think life here will be more interesting without me.
Good luck to everyone who still racing/playing :wink:
Don't say that Mingva. stay with us.
I had some new racing games recently (TrackMania, need for Speed Undeground, ...) and even if I race less time than before, I still play good old Stunts. :wink:
Mingva we love you
oops I understand you mings, I hope see you in scoreboards but also by email, letter, chat or everything.
Naah, Stunts isn't my game but I'll stay in community... probably... until first insult :? It's time to say goodbye and delete the game :oops: I hope another new insane will appear and replace me, because it's pitty to see 10-15 pipsqueaks in scoreboard.
Happy racing to everyone :wink:
