The AEU: The Air Elementalist's Union

[tyranim]

                              

SIGN UP IF YOU LOVE AIR

to put it simply, this is a union of members sharing the interest of the element Air.
once we get at least 15 members, we will begin voting on discussed gut work of the union.
for now, this union is nothing, but once we get more people, we can get rolling
the default template for signups is below

current members
unit
Alias

[tyranim]

this is not only the template to follow when signing up (for now, until we vote on a new one), but its also me signing up:

In Game Name(s):
omegaunit
ventanim

Past Experience with Air:
first master of air (by default T.T)
second master of air (by default T.T)

Reason for Joining:

Is this going to result in another 11 (12?) 'union' posts...? I can see some people deciding to start threads... ugh

[tyranim]

maybe. it might be a great idea to get a main union/guild/clan for every element

That to your love to Air.

I see no reason to do that - especially not in General Discussion.

lol, i forgot i changed that a long time ago
the only reason i put it in general discussion is because i cant think of a better, existing, place for it. and this can be a great idea as long as people actually do it. as i tell everyone who says my ideas suck: an idea is just that, and idea. its not something absolute or concrete. it can be molded, improved, and utilized. without all 3 of those, the idea dies. this idea is still in the molding phase. for all we know, this could bloom into something that makes the wars better, it could make people more motivated to obtain mastership, it can do all sorts of things, it just takes the right person to do something about it. unfortunately, i most likely am not that right person

wow, i am in such a speach giving mood, its not even funny

Don't we already have war teams? I think it would be better if this was in the Off-Topic section or something, no need to flood the General Discussion section with propaganda.

Though I don't want to join air, I could see this becoming an interesting part of the forums:

1. You could sign up to only one element.
2. You would get to access the "secret" section of your element.
3. You could build decks to help in wars to put there.
4. There would be regular polls on favourite cards/decks etc.
5. It would be fun!

This seems to be heading a similar direction to this topic regarding guilds. (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,32451.msg454533#msg454533)

The forum already functions as a giant "clan" of sorts as moomoose stated on the first page. Subdivision seems redundant given that they'll all be doing the same things and that if you want to show your love for X Element or X Group you can join PvP Events under that Element's faction (or whatever Teams are forming in that event.)

As SG stated:

I think that activities like this should have a point. Forming clans just because it's cool to be in a clan, seems pretty pointless to me. People are free to do so of course, but unless there is a real point, I don't see why we should make anything like this official.

True. I'd like to have clans in here, but to be honest, there's no good reason for that, at least not one worth the mess. If you want help in decks, you can go to the Deck Help section, or ask in chat. Many people (including myself) actually enjoy helping in deckbuilding, so just ask 
And clan matches are pretty much the same as many of the events in here. We have 3-men-PvP, as well as bigger-group events. I was myself planning to do some sort of multilingual unofficial tourney

What I mean is what SG said, no good reason for clans ---> no official clans ---> no mess ---> ??? ---> Profit!

Just my 2  .

I am always reluctant to join any PvP event because, though I am on the game alot, my life can often jump out at me quite suddenly and cause disruption in the event.

I would enjoy this system because it would give me stuff to do with my time that helps people, but that wouldn't die if I left for a week. It would add a whole new level to the elements experience if when you come on the forums you could go into your elements section and help with whatever. Masters/generals could request help in deck-building for wars and stuff and noobs would ask for help getting started down the *insert your element here* path towards victory. If you helped enough people, you would be able to be promoted within your guild/union which would come with privaledges such as getting bragging rights for your signature, getting access to top secret *insert your element here* information, getting little icons and getting to be part of a tight-knit group of hard-core *insert your element here* elementalists.

It already sounds awesome

I'll post more about how the system would work when I have time; till then... Have fun!

i have made an elements account for any member of AEU. its sole purpose is to assist anyone participating in the war/element based pvp events/etc who do not have many cards or much experience. the password and account name will only be released to those who are members here.
and of course, as any new account would, it does not have all air cards yet. i am working on getting all air cards upgraded and not.

[tyranim]

dead thread is dead. i just have one question to all those opposed to clans/guilds/unions/etc: why not? what harm can this do and why do you not want this to work? what is so wrong about this idea?
