I have been playing Elements for several years, but most of the time I have been working 12 hour days and never really felt like there was time for anything like this. It had to be enough that I checked the Oracle every day and played a few games when I could. The name I am using for this account is derived from a favorite game of Ogre Battle 64, in which I randomly chose a birthday for my character and ended up with March 15, thus Ides. I had a theme for that game, using names from Poe, Lovecraft, King and others to name my troops and choosing Usher for myself also, because Ides by itself just wasn't a long enough name.
When my arena deck drops to 1 hp and I catch it before it drops out of the top 500, I will put just shards in it until it drops out and I make a new deck.
Other games I play now are ForumWarz, Bloons TD5, and on the weekends Warlock II or Skyrim.
