Q: “Excluding Trial or War tasks, what do you think was the most charitable/nicest/most helpful thing that you’ve ever contributed within the forums? As Master of Light, do you think that you would be able to help others out more due to your title? Or less, because of the requirements within War and other Master-related duties?”
Offering my services as Card Curator. Kuro and Timer were overburdened, and I have spent much time early in my weeks performing curatorial duties. It was more fun at first... it's definitely work.
Do you see light as the most 'nice' element?
Explain.
No, Life would be the "nicest" element, as it's dedicated to making things grow and thrive. Light may be benevolent and healing by nature, but its fury can be aroused quickly. I would characterize it as the element which spends the most resources just ignoring things - damage with Hope, quantum scramble/drain with Sanctuary, PC with various immaterial permanents including weapon, damage-based CC with high-HP creatures and the only creature healing in the game...
Most people say light is a defensive element.Explain if light can rush and show examples.
Two of the stronger rush decks in Elements have a Light core: Rangel and Pegasus.

This is going to be the second trials. why do you think that your last try at mastership went wrong? Also maybe we are different time zones or i dont notice, but other than the card idea section of the forum, you do not seem like a active chat member or an active PvP member. To me and probably some others, those are my biggest concerns.
Simple: I was defeated by both Dm and Ryan in Phase 2. I completed Phase 1 well, and gathered the highest votes of any challenger in Phase 3. The latter alone should allay most concerns; but I still need to address the latter half of your question directly. I may not be active in tournaments, and may not often be in chat, but neither really matters, if you take into account the fact that I never bail on commitments, and if you look at the record I have had in PvP. Look at the decks I have used during this Trials and the previous Trials, and how I played them - that should tell you I am more than a competent opponent.
In all my life, I've been the sort of person who doesn't get involved in things right away, preferring instead to sit back and observe. My powers of observation are keen, and I'm a very quick learner. I defeated one challenger in this Trials and gave the other two a run for their money, despite never having played a tournament. My heavy involvement in the Card Ideas section has greatly improved my versatility in deckbuilding and strategy, as thinking of good new card concepts (I am currently king of the Armory and tied at the top of the Designer Rankings) requires a rock-solid understanding of all the currently implemented cards.
Beyond that, take a look at any "Bedouin's Prayer" deck - that's my original design, and it was designed to fare well in PvP, which it has. In fact, until it got some exposure, people had no idea what to do against it when I ran it in PvP... now they see it coming more often.
I've never manage to get a shape of your PVP skills, or your attitude.
Tell me something.
Didn't say who you were addressing, so I'll assume it was directed at all challengers... if you haven't got a good idea of my attitude, you haven't been around me much! I said it last Trials and I'll say it again, one of the most important qualities in a Master is humility. We don't need Masters who will say, "I'm a Master and therefore I'm better than you and you have to listen to me." Master, like Curator, is a privilege and comes with responsibilities - fulfilling those responsibilities is the reason Master titles exist. Ego has no place.
As for PvP skill - see above. I lack experience, not skill.
If I become Master, my track record guarantees loyalty to Light, powerful War strategies, continuing contribution to the community from Light's corner, and... brownies! Now who doesn't like brownies? It's my special Luciferin recipe.
