i'm.. still in shock. Congrats Ryan and good job in proving yourself on the PvP side. I encourage you to prove yourself on the leadership side now.

This is a new age of Masters.
This isn't really surprising though. As a community, we are becoming much stronger, so it's to be expected that many new members are powerful enough to challenge the veterans.
Obviously not to take anything away from challengers who have won mastery -- congratulations to them! -- but as I've been saying all along the Trials system, in my opinion, does not give a strong enough advantage to masters defending their titles. It should never be an even fight to remove someone from power.

I agree. I just meant that masters who had served 3 terms either lost, or came close to losing their titles this time. That must mean that challengers are generally becoming stronger.

Ah well, xdude, maybe we can have our own RNG hax next Trials? ^^

Just because the terms aren't consecutive won't mean that we can't be the Master with the most, eh?
I ask nothing of humanity but fairness in all things, but I do not expect even that.

I changed my vote after you said you'd quit! Else I'd still be right about pretty much everything.

Either way, good job. I hope you'll be a good leader for Team Light and show you deserve this title. Congrats Ryan!

Hahaha, I tricked you all! But no I really was planning on leaving. A few people in this community have talked me through my problems and now I can feel like I can stay, and I'm going to try my hardest to be the best Light Master that I can be.

Congratulations, Ryan!  I was cheering for you, though I didn't hold out a lot of hope - xdude is a brutal PvP opponent.  Was very pleased to see a lot of creativity in your deckbuilding, and it paid off!

I keep seeing people get all down on themselves lately, though.  jippy, ICB, and I guess I missed your problems, whatever they were.  If I can offer some small advice without seeming arrogant: being humble and being confident are not mutually exclusive.  It's clear you haven't got an overstuffed ego, but being humble isn't about being all down on yourself - it's about focusing on things other than yourself.  You're entering this post with a lot to prove, and the most important thing you can do from the start is show that you are sure of yourself.  People will walk all over you if you don't.

No, see, -I- didn't have Hope.  Bunch of Rays of Light, yes.  Electrocutor, yes.  Hope?  Bottom freaking half of my deck.
