I don't understand why so many people call it a "popularity contest" like it's somehow a bad thing. There's nothing wrong with letting the community give extra points to people who they think would make the best Master.

It's important to remember that Trials are not just another PvP event. Idea is to find a person who is the "face" of a certain element. We've had Masters who took the whole thing as nothing more than a PvP event without really caring about the element they picked. Then we've had Masters who might not be that active in PvP but really promote their Element and represent it every chance they got. My vote goes to the latter every single time.
I agree with SG. I even think popularity should count even MORE in trials since being a Master is all about promoting the element than PvP stuff. The best example for this would be Bloodshadow who, despite my past harsh criticisms towards him, served as an excellent first Master of Darkness even though he hardly ever participated in PvP.


In other notes... I'm kinda saddened to see (well at least up to now) only about half of the competitors in certain elements did work on Phase 1.

The Trials are harsh. I understand now.

Due to a few little errors for my tasks, despite all the effort (which were many, task 1 was a horror) I've put in them, I've receieved zero credits. I realize I will not be able to compete with the other Air contenders anymore and do not with to embarass myself further. Therefore, I wish to withdraw from the Trial of Air.

Good luck to other Air Trial contenders. I'm rooting for you DD for giving me the inspiration of designing and trying new decks by myself! :)

The other Air Trialists didn't fare so well in the first Phase either, surely not out of the competition. Sad to see people withdraw.

The problem is that this "down" is too much. I've done 80% of the tasks but not even receive any credits. For example, for task one, I've included all three screenshots, score and rings and everything, but forgot to post the deck itself. Bam, zero points. That thing took hours. I do not wish to embarass myself and continue to work in vain.

Noobie, you were my favourite Air challenger and I had my third highest confidence rating on you. I can understand leaving after something like that. You can grow stronger by powering through some things, but I can't decide if this is one of those things for you. I know how completely and fully something can kill your motivation for an event like this, and a game should be fun, so I can't blame you.

I can, however, speak to your rationality. You can just do the rest for the fun and nothing else since there's no more meticulous paperwork after this. The final effect will be two things: you and everyone else will have a good time, and you will gain regard as a forum member and as a candidate for Master of Air.

If you have more reasons for dropping out, fine by me. I'm just trying to motivate you, because I think it's worth getting done. War was.

How about a summary as to why each person got the bonus points over the others?
Have you tested out the decks people used for the arena challenge?

After writing all that I did, I feel an explanation is warranted.
