Darkness

[Kael Hate]

Aphex Twin... epic choice for the song.  (:

I hope the opposition listens to it and feels my presense in the shadows watching them, calling for them.

Maybe yourself or vrt could make an art, that depicts thecreature avatars of the other 11 masters with their souls torn away and transmogrified to Dark beasts. If you want that is.

Kael Hate, I have a question. Why does your banner say "Come play in the Darkness"? That doesn't sound nearly as intimidating as your "Your soul already belongs to me" speech.

Because I didn't want the banner to be intimidating, but I wanted my words to be so. A banner is a rallying point for those who follow it. They take comfort in its presence. If you acknowledge it then you belong to me. My words are whispers, threats and bargains that play havoc on your understanding. Once you submit to darkness it comforts you.

Other Generals can still bid on you. The final result will only be clear after the auction is over aka the clock goes to zero and there are no new bids during the last 24 hours.

thanks for the clarification ScaredGirl, but I think that that's what happened:

last bid: Kael Hate on October 05, 2010, 09:58:14 AM (in my timezone)
 
end of the first overtime  October 06, 2010, 10:00:00 AM

so i didn't receive bids in 24 hours...  in fact 24 hours and 1 minute and 46 seconds have passed since my last bid and the end of the first overtime...

no, it means until there is NO MORE overtime...only then will it be final
so even if nobody bid for you in the last overtime, as long as someone is getting bid, nobody is confirmed (except those buyout@24 clubbers)

[guy_fawkes]

so there will be overtimes as long as at least 1 person gets a bid in the last 24 hours?
this is gonna take looong

At 3:00~3:20 in that video/song, a random kid pelvic thrusts for you Kael.

Not necessarily, because each overtime the bid increment is increased. So to bid now someone would have to increase the current bid by 3, and next overtime by 4, so on and so forth. Eventually (probably sooner rather than later) noone will want to upbid that much over ppl that have already been there for so long, and it will end.

That would be pretty difficult, especially since it's not easy to make creature avatars of all the current Masters. However, I can make "dark" versions of all the other 11 elemental icons if you want; they would all look the same, except their color schemes are going to be changed to that of the Mark of Darkness. For example, Dark Fire would have a black-and-gray Fire symbol, and the black background. That can show your dominance over the other 11 elements, because you've assimilated them into Darkness. Would you like me to do that for you?

If you're suggesting I'm not capable of painting a few creatures, you're wrong. Some people simply have better capabilities in art than yourself.

Also, why do you bother with this thread, still?

First, I never said you cannot do what Kael asked, or that I'm better than you. You are a professional artist, while I'm just a high school student; I'm certainly not stupid enough to think I could do better.

Second, I simply wanted to do something that would make Darkness look good. No "strings" attached. Forget what I said before about the banner, and pretend it never happened. Last time it was "OMFG I can do better", this time it's "I just want to help".

I made the thing anyways. See this thread: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,13718.0.html

[uhhh...]

Maybe you understand reliance differently, but for me if you use something for your advantage, you rely on it to give you advantage. If I use a screwdriver to drive screws, I rely on it to drive screws (whatever it means). If I use a crowbar, I rely on it to do the job. Without that tool I'd either be unable to do the job, or have to find an alternative (my hands for example).

So far no one had found an alternative to Time, or at least no one still alive, muahahahhaha

As for eternity, being eternal requires Time. Without Time nothing can be eternal. It's similar to saying that without distance nothing can have an infinite length.

Beings that exist outside of Time are not really eternal, it's a state that has no word to describe it in human languages. The main difference is that eternal things still have past (infinite), present and future (infinite). For beings outside of Time the words past, present and future have as much meaning as words Gandalf, Sauron and Gimli. It is something that from their point of view might exist, but in another world, or might not exist at all. It doesn't affect them at all though. If they have a way to influence other worlds, they don't give a damn if it's in the past or future from our point of view.

As for darkness, in our world it might be eternal because outside of time-space continuum there is no darkness. If the universe ever comes to an end, Darkness will also end.

Though, in a more metaphorical/metaphysical meaning you might extend the meaning of Darkness. For example calling things that are 'unknown' dark, or calling the act of stealing and draining powers to be of the Dark ways. As long as these acts are timeless acts, which is a very complex concept from Earthlings logic point of view, they might exist outside of time-space continuum. It's similar to the concept of God creating angels and other daemons 'before' he created the universe. There is no time relation between these events, but there is a cause and effect relation.

I am sorry to say this, but time is not real, but is a man made idea to help advance in the world easier.

It dose mean that Time dose not end (it will still be a deck in the game) but can be controlled and bent out of its will for the gain of Darkness!
