Schrödinger's cat | Schrödinger's cat

[Sir Valimont]

Sure, use of Schrödinger's name is something new. I didnt even know this guy, lol. I have heard about Maxwell before, but its a much more common name, so I didnt associate the card to the scientist. In fact, Albert's something would mean nothing to most people, but Einstein's something would. At same line, how about Erwin's Cat (Erwin is first Schrödinger's name)? It would still have a connection to the scientist, just wouldnt be so obvious thats related to a real life person. Just my opinion, wouldnt like having real people names on cards.

Maxwell is a family name in this context, even if it's often used as a given (first) name.

I personally like the idea of giving scientists' names to cards. It makes people more interested in 'who was that scientist?' and thus is popularizing science and physics.

By the way, the very fact that Entropy is considered an element in Elements shows that real-life science is mixed into Elements. Gravity and Time are also kinda real-life science things, since in a typical fantasy world filled with magic and mythological creatures, gravity is simply viewed as a constant force, that is natural and obvious to everyone (this kind of fantasy rarely goes into space, or into other places where gravity has different strength), while Time is also considered an obvious and natural constant unless some kind of magic is trying to alter it.
In Elements, at least Entropy and Gravity are seen from a more scientific point of view, not typical to fantasy. Black Holes, Supernovas, Antimatter and stuff. Of course it is mixed with fantasy (Otyughs, mutations etc.), but that's normal. Elements are not meant to be a simulation of science from real world, but rather an interesting mix of fantasy, some science-fiction, and some peculiarities from real world. And names such as Maxwell and Schrödinger fit this theme well.

By the way, it's not necessary that Maxwell and Schrödinger from Elements are the same people that wore those names in our world. Maybe Maxwell was a demon summoner? Maybe Schrödinger was some crazy cat-breeder? I remember playing The Witcher, and there was a reference to Nobel... who was a gnome that invented explosives, and then committed suicide when he realized that magi are going to use his invention for evil purposes... or something along those lines
This was a kind of Easter Egg though.

Both Maxwell's Demon and Schrödinger's Car Cat are not references to scientists but references to paradoxes brought up by these people.

Edit: Epic typo.

Elements are a game, not a programming language. A reference can reference a number of different things at once... or may not.

When I say Ford Focus, I refer to a car, not Henry Ford. It's not intuitive to say otherwise. But of course intuitions are limited and you are right.

I love this card. I made an entire deck using the trainer (http://www.elementsthegame.com/trainer.html) using this in conjunction with Soul Catcher, and I've beaten most of the FGs I've come across. I repeat: I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS CAT ^_^

Code: [Select]

6ts 6ts 6ts 6tt 6tu 6tu 6u2 6u2 6u2 6u8 6u9 6u9 6ua 6ua 6ua 6ua 6ug 6ve 6ve 6ve 714 714 717 717 71a 71b 71b 71f 71f 71f 72i 72i 72i
EDIT: It looks like the card images don't appear because they aren't in the official version yet. To clarify, there are 4 cats and 3 catchers in this deck. I'm probably overestimating its power, though.

trainer is a BAD place to test anti-FG decks
even moreso with cards in dev

only thing you want to test in trainer with cards in dev is to see if theres any glitch/bug and how well any combo you thought off are doing
dont get your hopes up much that it will be the new great anti-FG just because you have some success in trainer
the AI there suck ass

I liked this stall deck better, 6xcat's and 4xcatchers. More consistent and neverending shields.

Code: [Select]

6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ua 6ua 6ua 6ua 6ua 6ua 711 711 718 718 718 718 718 718 71a 71b 71b 71b 71b 71f 71f 71f 71f
