Phase 3 - Community Vote

It's time to vote for your favorite Master candidate!  Every community member has one vote. You can change your vote at any time as long as there is still time on the clock.

Vote based on who you think would make the best Master of that element. Do not vote based on who is the best player or who you know personally. Try to pick someone who you think would help the community the most as THE representative for their element.  If you do not have any preference for who should be Master, or cannot decide between the candidates, please select the "None Worthy" option. 

To help you make the best decision possible, feel free to ask the candidates questions.  Both challengers and defending Masters ought to answer the questions in this thread to help the voters make the best possible choice.  Please put all your answers in a single post (employing spoiler tags is recommended).  Also, challengers should include in that post a link to your Phase 1 submission post.


Questions and answers may begin now that this topic is posted.
Voting will begin when the polls are up at the official start of Phase 3.
Phase 3 ends when poll expires.

Just as a reminder, please note this post by afdarenty regarding Phase 3.

Just a post to say I'll be away now (with the TrO's permission) until the 26th - I'll miss phase 3, and a little more besides. If you ask me a question in any of the Phase 3 threads (not here!) I'll answer it when I get back. A few answers to some of the more common questions:

Spoiler for Questions:
If Air trials were full would you join the trials of a different element?
No.

Would you General in War?
Yes.

Would you become a Brawl Boss?
No.

Who do you think the better Master would be - you or justaburd?
I'm honestly not sure. I think we'd both do well.

You went missing for three weeks in the middle of trials! (Yes, I know this isn't a question.)
It's the one significant period of inactivity for me the entire year - quite unfortunate timing for me, but much better than in the middle of war.

And that's all you're getting. Cya all later :)

Air, the element of the gassy stuff all around us. Air has one of the strongest Nymphs in my oppinion, but I've wondered a while now about one thing:

Can you calculate about how much of earths atmosphere consists of farts?

To both candidates.

Who will you vote for in air trials?  and on what grounds and why did you make that vote?   

Would you ever consider voting for someone else in trials if you thought the other one would become a better master?

@justaburd: You weren't General of Air last war. If you defend your title, would you play as General for Air in the coming war? Do you regret your desicion from last war not to participate? (Sorry if I am wrong and I remember false facts).

@Afdarenty: I know about your love with Air and IMO you play this element pretty good. I know you as a teammate in Team Entropy, you were new to this community/war and since this time I see a new, more experienced Afdarenty. How important was your role as Afdarenty in the last war? Would you lead Air as General?

Very close here. Nearly a tie. But if I have to choose at this moment my vote would go pretty close to Afdarenty. Lets wait for answers.

Air, the element of the gassy stuff all around us. Air has one of the strongest Nymphs in my oppinion, but I've wondered a while now about one thing:

Can you calculate about how much of earths atmosphere consists of farts?
Let me try to do this question as much justice as xkcd's whatif would.

A little bit of research suggests that an average human breathes in about 10-20 liters of air per minute across all activities. Of course, you don't fart all the air you breathe in, so let's assume that we fart a percentage of that back out and rest comes out as exhalation. Let's assume that the ratio is 0.1% of all air breathed in. This gives us .01-.02 liters of fart per minute per person. Therefore, for the average person, they'll fart ~7900 liters per year.

Wikianswers tells me that Earth's effective atmosphere is 4.2 billion cubic kilometers of air. That would translate to 4.2*1021 liters of air.

Then we have to worry about our population. Let's just play with nice round numbers. In other words, billions. Wiki tells me that the world population hit 1 billion around 1804, then 2 around 1927, 3 in 1959, 4 in 1974, 5 in 1987, 6 in 1999, and 7 in 2012. For each billion people, we get 7.9 trillion liters of air per year.

This brings us to the next point: It's not possible that only unfarted air gets farted. Of course, as the amount of farted air increases, the chance that someone has breathed it in (and refarted it) increases. Therefore we need to consider the ratio of farted air to unfarted air:

percent of newly farted air=(7.9 trillion liters*(1-%farted from last year)/total air)

Therefore, we have the model for checking out farted air:
% farted total=(7.9 trillion liters*(1-%farted from last year)/totalair)+%farted from last year
I.E.
Xt+1=(7.9*1012*(1-Xt)/(4.2*1021))+Xt

I'd calculate it for you but I'm bad with wolfram alpha.

Let's estimate it instead.

The total number of billions of people we need to calculate for is (1927-1804)*1+(1959-1927)*2+(1974-1959)*3+(1987-1974)*4+(1999-1987)*5+(2012-1999)*6+(2014-2012)*7. This is 436.

(436*7.9 trillion)/4.2 sextillion~0.8*10-6. Let's say it's 1*10-6 or .0001% of our atmosphere being farts. I guess unstable gas isn't all that common.
