Title: The War Report
Post by: theelkspeaks on October 03, 2014, 03:57:57 am
Welcome to the War Report, a "radio" show hosted by me, theelkspeaks, covering all the happenings of War 8. 

I'm posting this in the radio section because if and when Elements Radio starts broadcasting, this would be a possible program that could be run in the talk slots.

Episode 1 previewing the war will be uploaded in two parts.  Part 1 is up now!

https://soundcloud.com/theelkspeaks/war-report-episode-1-part-1



Episode 1
Jen-i has not previously reached a trials final.

Episode 2
The name willng3 is pronounced will-in-gee-3.
The stress in majofa is on the third syllable.
mrpaper was an :earth master, not a :fire master.

Episode 5
Time actually received -6 this round, ending the round at 388.

Part 2 of the episode:

https://soundcloud.com/theelkspeaks/war-report-episode-1-part-2

I would generally speak faster than this in conversation, but I'm trying to mimic (at least to some extent) the style of a radio talk show more than a conversation.

Awesome Report elk! it sounds really good, clean and crisp and easy to listen to. I can't wait for the next one.


also I noticed a small error at 5:48 in part 2;  :life finished in 3rd in war #2, not 4th, as stated here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/war-archive/war-standings/msg178955/#msg178955) and here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/community-recommended-decks/war-decks-archive/msg515822/#msg515822). other then that, it all sounds great! ;D

I didn't even imagine not even in my wildest dreams that elk has such a smooth voice! :o I imagined his voice to be, well... younger. ^^"

My ears like what they are hearing. :) Though I'm still cracking up every time I hear a forum member's name pronounced in english. xD (I always pronounce them in my own language, and they sound quite entertaining in english)

Well, I learned in elementary school that there are 2 main dialects of english: british(UK) and american(US). So american english is also counted for main english language for me. ^^"

Awesome work elk! I will definitely be following this throughout war (assuming you keep making them, which you should).

It is quite funny to hear names said out loud though, mainly because I never do and only sort of half read them when I see them written down.

Post by: ddevans96 on October 08, 2014, 04:06:30 am
Just listened to the segment about me and my team, because I'm a narcissist. I'll listen to the rest later though :3 Two things I noticed:

1) The audio is mixed louder - I didn't need headphones on to be comfortable hearing it, whereas I did last time.
2) Your vocalization is more confident and slightly more expressive as well.

Very good work!

That is true.. though maybe the confusion came in the fact I once was the replacement general for youngsot in team fire when he had to leave mid-war.
Also, this is good stuff!  keep on doing it :)

What's wrong with the tape? o_o It is borking for me.

It does Bork at certain times, yes. I've listed those times as well as... "constructive" criticism?

I am almost certain Fifa94, a game that won't come out for another 80 years, is not the new master of death.
(1:32, Really sure. Just me being a grammar nabcake.
It's also near 1:50 where it starts borking, getting a deeper voice.
Jen-E?
2:50 for another bork.
Then 3:00.
... You pronounced Krzysiekxd very not wrongly. Congratulations.
Another bork at 5:55.
Youngcudorinmarian?
You missed out the "So I can send hatemail to LHL" part when you called me out. Understandably. (Joke. If you want my real opinion, it would be :life because I've always felt life is quite a weak element in general, and I want to see if the new systems helps them... If it does.))

Given the extreme circumstances and incident that has been brought up, I think it'd be best to avoid the drama anyway and just produce one later in the future. Just my opinion though - thanks for the reports elk~ :)

Can report no problems, just say aether received penalty by irregularities in the competition, you not need go into details.
Title: Re: The War Report
Post by: CrockettRocket on November 20, 2014, 12:26:52 pm
If you do decide to report, then breeze over aether essentially. But I'd rather not have a report.
Title: Re: The War Report
Post by: Submachine on November 20, 2014, 12:47:57 pm
We just need to break the ice. A joke report maybe?
For example, we open it up and hear elk singing Rick Astely - Never gonna give you up.

Just to clarify some things. Team Life didn't lose because we had to stall. We lost because we decided to stall the moment everyone was waiting for us to stall. If we are more predictive than any other team, it is obvious we are going to lose. Having terrible early rounds (minus Round 1) in one thing. But being both noob and inactive during most of War is a deadly mixture that brings failure so surely that I am really surprised we actually managed to survive beyond Round 5.

Yeah  :fire return to top .... and the really top because 3 wars of fire are in advantage against 3 wars of aether (advantage head to head)

 Well I'm really very happy and I will wait the challengers of fire in the next trial with very pleasure, a single observation, all put Root vs Me in the end of fire trials but really do not know if www paper will try the same.

The main reason most expect Root to be at the top is that as War winning Gen, he gets a huge advantage over other challengers. Indeed, this Trials Root might exceed you in ups if you're not careful ;)

Post by: Vangelios on January 22, 2015, 02:34:40 am
I'm very very careful with fire (see the general that I chosen ::) ) and in the last trials I have 5 less ups than Glenn, also I think Glenn better as individual player with fire than Root however Root is the best general to fire that I can find.
