LOL, yeah it was me. I was searching some stuff in the forums and saw that I was mentioned in this post that I never saw. So I checked what it was about. And yes, I was around the game since the ending of 2013 I believe, still in the Beta days, so I think that Char thought that I was already OA. In the beginning, my tracks were actually really bad, I remember that there was a trackmaker leaderboard ranked by likes (It's still a thing: https://www.freeriderhd.com/leaderboards/author/lifetime, peep me as the 186th with most likes,haha) and I had more likes than a lot of members of the list, but I wasn't on the list because of my like percentage in the tracks. I remember you had to have more than 65% of likes to be on the list, and my first tracks, that were really bad, mostly because I didn't knew about the grid and how to use it, made my percentage of likes be around 59-60% for a while. I believe that this problem was one of the factors that made me unable to get OA when it first started, and as the time passed, my tracks evolved a little bit and I made a few ones that were kinda popular (maybe 5 or 6 with more than 100 votes), so I guess that Char thought that I already had OA. And one day in a thread here in the forums he found out that I didn't have it, and gave it to me immediately. My tracks were bad, and now they are average, LOL. But I guess that they are at least good enough for OA.
When is teleport going to be available in offline editor? I have a cool track idea but I can't do it without this feature, as well as other powerups that still are not available offline.
