How did you find the Elements the game community?

What first introduced you into Elements? (Basman-1453)
My brother (Jaymanfu) called me and told me to check out this new game on Kongregate. Since we had both enjoyed playing CCGs (DBZ, Pokemon) in the past, I looked it up.

You have been in the community for years, what keeps you around and contributing to PvP Events? (Anonymous)
Truthfully, not much anymore. There's no one else to run Events, so I'm here.

Other than development, what do you think is the biggest problem the community faces? (Anonymous)
Just development. If there was new content, there would be more people coming in and more people staying. If I was ever given control, I already have the next 2-3 years of updates planned out.

What most annoys you when hosting a PvP Event? (JonathanCrazyJ)
People not playing their matches.

How long have you been the pvp event manager?
I was officially hired in April 2012, but I was running events long before that... mainly because the other PvP Event organizers weren't doing their job.

You haven't participated in pvp events too much recently. When can we expect you to be active, as a pvp competitor? + Will you be playing in war? (Anonymous)
When new content gets released. I stopped playing when I rng'd my elements and quickbuilt all my decks in a tournament and won.
Last War, unfortunately, I didn't have that great of a laptop.. and could only use it for about 20 minutes at time. I have a new one now, so maybe. Although I never end up on the team I want to be on.

Any last words for the interview?
Please play your matches. (PVP WC and Draft)

Thanks for answering!

That guy...

How did you find the EtG community?
I was in middle school and reminiscing about Yugioh. I decided to do a google for 'card game online' and found the main website. After month or two of waffling around with my awesome 38 card  duo, I noticed the links below the game and started lurking.

What False Gods would you take out on a date? (DoctorC)
I dare not repeat the folly of Paris, lest we all end up in the strife and chaos of another War! A dangerous question, this. I must go and seek The Oracle and his wise counsel on this matter.

We all know Darkness is your favourite Element, but if you had to trial for a different one, what would be your choice and why? (Anonymous)
Well, AdrenastAves has cards from two elements. They're both somewhat related to my name, but the deck only needs to use the one type of quanta. Therefore, .

What has been your favourite event, competition or other activity on the forum since you have been here? (JonathanCrazyJ)
World of Elements. Even in its nascent beta-cancelled state, it had so much potential. Plus, I'm a sucker for any event with a good map.

If you could choose one extra element as your fav, what would you call the result of the fusion between darkness and that? (Anonymous)
The fusion between    / ? Well, if we're going to stick with the theme, birds are alive. Birds can fly. That's the secondaries down. And a commonly referenced bird that flies around in night is an owl, so I'll call it Physsion! 

How are you finding your role as Competition Organizer? (JonathanCrazyJ)
More fun than I thought it would be, and much less demanding! I've been floundering for a bit with these first four comps-- still finding my way and all that, especially since a certain somebody ditched me, but I think I've got a rhythm going now. Can't wait to see who the Council picks as a partner!

What is hiding in the darkness? (Anonymous)
Nothing that you can see here.

Favourite and least favourite cards in the game? (Anonymous)

Spoiler for Hidden:

This is definitely in the game. It deserves a spot!

Swag, 'nuff said.	Elemental hate is bad.

Any last words for the interview?
I'm pretty bad at icon art. I expect the next CO to be bad at icon art, because it's hard. If anybody with 16x16 pixel skills wants to make icons for competitions, please send me a PM! I (or we) would love any assistance you can give!

Is there a need to go that far ahead?
