Hi all.  I'm new to the Elements forums, but I've been playing the game for some time (a little over a year now.) 

I stumbled upon the game while killing some time on kongregate, and now I find I kill absolutely all of my time on Elements.  So I hope that means I like it...

The introduction of the Arena is the main thing that drew me in so heavily.  I love the babysitting aspect, and I treat it like some kind of new-fangled Tamagotchi.  That description embarrasses me a bit, but love is love, I reckon. 

I really hope to jump face first into card creation.

I like how the metagame switches up so frequently, but dislike that it basically bounces back and forth between fire and darkness (and so many times includes chaos, thanks to the sanctity of supernova.)

My favorite cards are: Mindgate, Fallen Druid, Quantum Tower, Shard of Serendipity, and Pulverizer.

I don't know what  :underworld means, though now that I clicked it i know it at least means colon underworld.  So that's a clue.

 :rainbow is a mystery as well but I think I know now that I see the word after the colon.  I play  :rainbow decks! 

I am impressed by the strength of the Elements community, though I don't speak its language yet. 

Personally: I used to be a fairly avid (<- that's a strange coupling of words) Magic: The Gathering player, but the housing bubble burst my old        hobbies and led me to Elements, proving that there is good in every implosion, I again reckon.
     I am a hugely avid writer, and I've worked on a few comic books, a silly little blog, and countless silly little things.
     I have been in a band since I was fourteen, and haven't been for the past year, and it's killing me.
     I'm here to learn, socialize, and create!  Let's coordinate!  (I'm also here to wax poetic, based on those last two sentences!)

Welcome to the Forums and elements community.

Underworld is the 13th team in the 108 player event called war. It is composed of players who didnt make it onto a team during the auction and are fighting for revenge :P

If you have any questions please visit chat (see chat link at top of page) and ask.

I'm new here too and have been playing for a long time as well before coming on to the forums. Hopefully it is a helpful experience for us both. :P

I can't help but feel like the title of this thread is a reference to something fantasy-ish that I should know but don't.  (Google was of no assistance).  Could you enlighten me?  :-)

And I hope you enjoy the real depth of elements, because though the gameplay is very fun, the community really makes it worthwhile.  :-D

i am pretty sure each one refers to a "new" or inexperienced  person

You nailed it Sevs. But what was it called again? 
Wasn't there this Scifi-show back in the 90s, about this really shorttoothed Space-Sherrif who was still all wet behind his ears
and couldn't hit a Capship from 30m away?
