Congrats Spike mama mia

[Fabio_S]

Oggi spinno... e crasha il gioco 

Poi vado in arena ed ho una ninfa  ...
Ma non me l'ha aggiunta -.-'
A 6 ero e a 6 sono rimasto.

Volevo uppare la mia prima ninfa senza sensi di colpa... ed invece niente

[SpikeSpiegel]

Se sei riuscito a cliccare su "get the card" prima che il gioco crashasse, ti comparirà. Altrimenti purtroppo è persa.

[SpikeSpiegel]

Si, abbiamo vinto il forum Brawl.

Si, il nuovo premio lì sotto è troppo figo.

E si, l'ho disegnato io.

 8)

[Tom Bombadil]

non c'è gusto a dire che hai vinto se ti premi da solo...

[SpikeSpiegel]

Naaaa, disegnare il premio era la bonus task dei primi due rounds...

 

[TheManuz]

Il premio è disegnato bene, complimenti!

Purtroppo il brawl non l'ho seguito per niente, in realtà non sto seguendo più molto neanche il forum, e non gioco da mesi...
La mancanza di aggiornamenti mi uccide, e la sezione CIA ha portato si e no 1/2 carte all'anno all'interno del gioco, non c'è neanche gusto ad inventare carte nuove...

[Tom Bombadil]

beh io ho provato a partecipare, ma dal quinto round in poi non sono più riuscito a seguire causa impegni personali...

Ciononostante grazie anche a qualche punticino mio (e molti di andretimpa che ha fatto i miei task quando non c'ero) il team di cui facevo parte è arrivato secondo.

[The Chosen One]

cof cof... ok sono ancora vivo! come state ragazzi? novità sulla 1.4? omrai ho praticamente abbandonato il gioco...

[SpikeSpiegel]

Nell'attesa che Dm la posti anche nella sezione dedicata, vi posto l'intervista che è stata fatta al sottoscritto! Al momento in esclusiva solo per voi italiani!

Spoiler for Spike's Interview:

Q: All right, let's start off like most interviews, if not all. We know where your name comes from (And if the reader doesn't, please go watch Cowboy Bebop), but why did you choose it? (And if it does NOT come from Cowboy Bebop, then damn.) A: It's the same nick i've used long long time ago in another on-line game (Ogame). I just kept it here too.

Q: That question out of the way, let's get into the real stuff. What was your motivation to become a Competition Organizer? A: Forum Competition section has always been quite active and funny, I was sorry to see it so..."abandoned"; also, after years, it was the time to thank staffers by giving them an hand. So i became CO.

Q: On to the topic of Competitions, what kind of Competition is your favorite - Art Competitions, Deck Competitions, Card Competitions, Story Competitions...? Why? Did you used to join Competitions often or not at all? A: My favorites are probably Art Competitions just because i like to draw; Deck and Card Competitions would be amazing if it were possible to add the winners to the game, but I know that this is very difficult (almost impossible at the moment). And yes, i used to join Competition, i won a MS Paint Competition too!

Q: So, we finished Brawl. I don't believe you've joined Brawl since it's a fairly recent event; what did you think of this Brawl? Do you have any plans of joining another one, if you're around? A: It was my first Brawl and it was a very funny event (and above all, we won it!!), organized in a perfect way (Great job Naesala and Chapuz!); of course I'd like to join the next one!

Q: Do you think the way Brawl interferes on other parts of the forum, like for example, Competition section, or taking a bit longer for the next Trials/War is a negative or positive thing? A: Each event is likely to interfere with another, that's why we run them separately. Brawl can be seen like a "greater" forum competition and it's normal that it killed our section for a while. And about PvP events, well, at the moment we have other issues...

Q: Talking about Trials, you've been Master of Time once. Do you still like the element? If yes, why? Do you have any plans on going for Mastership when our PvP servers come back? A: I love time and I always will love it! The power to manipulate time has always fascinated me (when I began to play EtG I was watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure where Dio Brando could stop time!) and advancing in the game, I realized that it was the style of play that suited me more. And if I'll have enough free time, I'll join trial for sure!

Q: You're a relatively old player. This is a touchy subject, but many older players get a bit turned off from the community as people that they've talked to a lot go away. Do you miss any older player that left and you used to talk to a lot?  A: I miss a lot of players, GG, Nilsieboy, Icecoldbro, Scaredgirl, Willng, etc...but the one I'm missing the most is Raving. I know he's really busy with college but if he'll ever read this interview I'd like to wish him good luck for his studies!

Q: On the flip side, what's your stance in relation to new players? Do you think that on the whole, they are mostly positive, or view them generally on a bit of the negative side? (This question may or may not go into the interview, I am still deciding.) A: Newbies should know that when you join an online game that's 5 years-old, maybe there are some players a little bit more skilled and expert...New players are always welcome here, above all if they are polite and friendly, it's a pleasure to help them. But if you join the forum and your introduction is something like "HEY N000000BS! I'M THE GRE4TEST! YOU SUXXXXX", first i think you're an idiot, second one you can forget to be taken seriously and then helped.

Q: Do you have, or did you have any Staff Member or Master of an element that you looked up to when you first got a Staff Position or got your Master position? Needless to say, if yes, who and why? A: As Staff Member, without any doubt Scaredgirl, who was the very old Admin of this forum and she (or he?) was a very active and nice member and a skilled player too. As Master i mention Xinef who was my old time Master, a great player and a nice person. Last but not least, I always looked up to Higurashi (even if we're not always gotten along) as the perfect example of how a staffer/master/community member should be.

Q: How do you feel about Leagues, PvP Events, and Tournaments? They're quite different from Competitions. Do you partake in them often or not at all? A: When I've time, I like to join them, even if they are pretty much different from each others; a tourney lasts few hours, a league or a PvP-event can last...weeks or months (and require more time and participation).

Q: Since you came back, are you in favor of Shards, against them, or simply don't care? A: Once and for all: I've nothing against shards

Q: Do you visit CIA often? Because I know I don't, god knows what goes on in there Why do you/do you not? A: Sometimes. It's one of the forum section that imho suffers the most the absence of Zanz, because no Zanz = no chance to see one day your card added to the game. And it is a real shame because there are some really cool ideas...

Q: Have you ever felt like writing a tutorial or something of sorts but never got around to it due to laziness? A: To be honest? Yes. But i wrote the tutorial to use the chat mod panel and I'm happy with that. (I'm sorry non-chat mod cannot see how awesome my tutorial is)

Aaaand... random questions time.

Q: Movies or books? Why? A: ....both? Movies when I just want to take a rest, books when I'm more in the mood.

Q: Your house is on fire. What is the first thing you do? A: Light up a cigarette? Jokin'...

Q: Favorite kind of music? A: I hate this question because i hate my answer: I listen a bit 'of everything...

Q: Do you play some other games apart from Elements, be they multiplayer or not? Which ones? A: I played Diablo 3 in the last year, but at the moment I'm playing only EtG.

Q: Zelda, Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, or Pokémon? C'mon, this is valid. A: No idea of what you're talkin' about...

Q: This is the first time I'm actually doing the interview and honestly I just have zero creativity. Rate the interview you're receiving from 0 to 10, with 0 being the best and 10 being the worst! this isn't bullying A: 3!

Q: Any piece of advice that you'd offer new people, old people, humans in general... I guess animals, too...? A: Do I look like someone who's able to give an advice? Com'on...

Q: Last words? don't worry you're not dying A: If you've read up to here...thanks!

[Leodip]

Q: Talking about Trials, you've been Master of Time once. Do you still like the element? If yes, why? Do you have any plans on going for Mastership when our PvP servers come back?

A: I love time and I always will love it! The power to manipulate time has always fascinated me (when I began to play EtG I was watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure where Dio Brando could stop time!) and advancing in the game, I realized that it was the style of play that suited me more. And if I'll have enough free time, I'll join trial for sure!
