Elements Council - VOTE!

[Higurashi]

4. Firstly I assume you mean to say that you have 1 nymph and 3 , because designating them "colours" is very MtG (Magic the Gathering), which is NOT EtG (Elements the Game). Please try to be a little more wary to use colours when describing things like eyes or hair.

and mean Life and Light quanta, not the Elements. The Nymphs are actually called Green and White nymphs when unupped, so it's completely correct.

[Hyroen]

The way the question was phrased totally confused me, my apologies to SunnyGreens. Good call Higurashi. 8)

Previous phrase will be deleted but stored here in case anyone wants to see my confusion.

Questions for the candidates! If you choose to answer please keep your answers short and to the point.

1. You apparently have 3 months in office, name one thing you would like to accomplish in that time.

2. How will you appease the ever critical Grammer Nazi voting bloc?

3. You are all full members and have been around the forums for a while. What one trait or accomplishment evident in these 200+ posts best defines you?

4. Of my 4 nymphs 1 is green and 3 are white. Provide a brief description of a deck based around 3 white nymphs (bonus points for originality).

5. Name one thing about the forums as they are now that you would change if you could.

I'm all rested up so now I can answer these :-p

1. I'd like to organize the PvP season. This means creating a schedule for all events/tournaments/etc at the beginning of each season. We have a calendar, so why don't we make more use of it? This would require a lot of work on the part of PvP event organizers and tournament organizers. They must be completely dedicated to running everything.

2. My grammar has rarely been an issue.

3. There are probably a lot of answers to this question. My best guess is my inability to become angry. I can't remember a time anything on the forums has made me angry. I've had many disagreements, sometimes ones in which I would be "attacked," but I simply continue without letting them affect me. Another, perhaps more obvious, trait is my humor. Just refer to my signature for an example :-p

4. I'm skipping this part. I don't feel like designing decks at the moment. If you simply wanted to know if I am a capable deck builder, I would refer you to the earth war section and suggest you browse through the list of my created topics (in the entire forum). It's a long list but it doesn't take long to go through.

5. Same answer as number one. I'd like to make the PvP seasons much more organized.

[Higurashi]

Haha, understandable. I get a lot of people saying mana on Kong, and I knee-jerk. "THIS ISN'T MTG!!1"
I love how generous you are with yourself, there. x) Kudos. Anywho, excuse this off-topic banter.

[wizelsnarf]

(wizelsnarf's doesn't work since he doesn't get any Light quanta. I suspect he meant Light pendulums.)

Yeah. I meant light mark, same as you suggested. I changed it this morning.

To anyone who is still trying to figure out who to vote, here are some more tips:

1. Council members do not have to be great Elements players. You could potentially be the worst Elements player ever, and the best council member ever. Of course it helps to know the game, but you don't have to be a PvP wizard.

2. Deckbuilding skills are 100% irrelevant. Being a council member is not about designing decks so it should have zero affect in the vote.

3. Vote for members who contribute by posting original topics as opposed to members who up their post count by posting 5 word replies to topics made by other people. Members who post original topics, come up with new theories, gather data for different kinds of studies.. these are the people we need on the council because they have shown to have initiative and will help improve the community. If we select a council with little initiative, very little improvements will happen.

4. If you still don't know who to vote for, consider picking a current staff member. They have shown to be active by helping the community in the past and will probably continue do so in the future. There's a big difference in talking about what you will do in the future, and actually having done things in the past.


Those are some of the requirements I used. I hope it helps.

1. Convince SG to let me change the official chat. If she refuses, I'll still try to get us a better chat client and let it be used for unofficial chatting purposes.
2. Meh, I'm skilled in the arts of the Grammar Nazi.
3. I've responded in a lot of Decks to give advice and suggest possible changes to the deck. I've also responded in a lot of Card Ideas, adding my own two cents to the topic.
4. Well, since wizel posted the deck I would usually recommend, I'd go with RoL/Hope + Light Nymphs + Dragons. It allows fractal Dragons to be used efficiently.
5. Chat. It's not fun trying to communicate with fellow Elements players when I have to exit out every 2 minutes.

Dont have time to answer all of it right now... however,

1)Get some old outdated stickies Revamped. Just one thing, of course theres more though.

2)I think I demonstrated this well in my Things Every Newb Should Know Before Posting (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5590.msg63163#msg63163) Thread (its old, I know, dont necropost ) I dont see apostrophes as something important, however, good grammar is important, so I use them for the grammar nazis, but if there arent any around, then I usually ignore them. So Id please them instead of making argument, since technically it is good to do if you know better, however, when not necessary, I don't see it as too important.

3)I wont hide behind a large post count. http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;area=statistics;u=1776 if you want to see specifically where they are.  To sorta show how I am, based on the post count real quick.
Humor-I think its important to be able to have fun here. Makes you feel more part of the community. Religion-Yeah, Im religious, but I dont degrade anyone, which I think is important, and I know how to do a debate. Thats important for council. Then game suggestion and feedback. Its important to try to improve the game. Also, look at my time, im here almost every hour of the day

Ill answer the final 2 later

Sounds like jmdt is the choosen one lol jk.

Oh man, I've been propagating IRC for so long now. It's the most reliable, and easy as heck to use. Haven't gotten any feedback from anyone with power, though.

1. As Teffy said in the Forums suggestions, I'd add a Fg proposal section, with a sticky thread, to explain that these FG's are not going to get i the game. And I'd change the background to all Light marks.


2. By using correct spelling. I'm also kind of a Grammar Nazi myself, I'd never vote for somebody with bad spelling. Although, of course, mistakes are acceptable. By the way, you misspelled

3. I've been always fighting for Light with whatever means I could. Verbally, most of the time. I'll do the same thing if I get in the Council. Always fight for what I think is good, with whatever means I can.

4. Well, Light Nymphs rock. You can use them to rush down opponents in mono Light, instead of Archangels, or even Dragons

5. Isn't this just as number 1?

Also, note that I tried not to read other people's answers, so any related answers are just coincidental.

[SunnyGreens]

Thanks to all the candidates for their answers (and to any who have yet to but plan to).

Congrats to xdude for being the only one to notice I misspelled "grammar" (it was intentional, I was curious). Don't worry though, I am not voting solely based on spelling and grammar or on deck building skills, I just felt those questions should be included.

5. Isn't this just as number 1?

Not necessarily, though I suppose they are similar. I guess this is where reading other people's replies would be useful.
