GEMA?

[|EXP|KillaZ]

How do you pronounce it? I pronounce it like J (for Josh) EM (for Emily) AH (for Attack).

Is this actually the correct way or am I missing something here?

And as another offtopic question, where did gema's even come from or how did they start?

[ResTEasY]

This is your way -> http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/a....wav=gemma so I guess your way would be spelled gemma notice that 2nd M.

I pronounce it G (for Gimp) EM (for Emily) AH (for Attack).
1 M and a G not a J.
I guess it's a matter of location.

Must be an Australian thing.
I pronounce it the same as you.

I'd just like to know where the word comes from.
According to a google translation I did a while ago, it means "yolk" in Portuguese and "gem" in Spanish, although it might be the other way around.

A yolk is a gem, but, what came first: The mapper, or the jumper?

[Z-karIuS]

gemas started as training maps back to 0.93 then someone took all of these maps and edited and saved them with the name gema01, gema02 etc.

[paulmuaddibKA]

Oh, they have been riding along all this time ...

[Viper]

I don't believe in gema. Nuff' said.

I can understand why, but I really only admire the more aesthetically pleasing gema's, where it doesn't look like it was made by a four-year-old (that goes for any other map, I don't like the @camper maps and I never liked Ezjem).
