What do you think of the two current cards in development (Mitosis and Acceleration) and their relation to Death?

Which Death card is your favorite, and why?

What is your favorite meal? (:D)

1. Mitosis was a great card, now sort of meh due to cost raised, but still good. It made DoSA a great combo deck now, with an improved win % I believe, and would be great. I've shown mitosis + death combo here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,19838.msg268492#msg268492)

2. My favorite death card is probably deathstalker, most call it weak, I call it surprise attack! (look at the avatar btw)

3. Random much :P, but a home cooked meal of steak/chicken + mashed potatoes and gravy with green beans and corn :) (southern charm much? ;))

@hrmmmm
After looking through the war decks, I would have to say this one is easily my favorite:

Just such a wide, but successful deck :)

As a good master of death, you should be able to humiliate all the other elements... if you have to.


Please take a one sentence cheap shot at each of the other elements.

One at a time.

My answer to this: No.
I will not insult other elements ever. They are all unique and diverse, all with their own creativeness and strengths along with weakness. If you are telling me that I must insult all of these elements to get your vote, then I will tell you not to vote for me. Insulting the elements other people play for is not what I will ever do.

And... you just got my vote.

Now, I am not going to claim that I had planned all along for that to be the correct answer, but I see now that, of course, you are right.

So many random questions in trials :P
Anyway, either day of the dead or Shawn of the dead (for obvious reasons of course :D)

Acceleration won't have too much to do in death. You could use it as a form of cheap damage + death effects, however it's true use doesn't work well with the low HP creatures in Death's arsenal
Mitosis could work well with Retrovirii, but to me that seems the only truly unique creature (unless you have a way of generating mass death effects - then possibly vulture) which would not be topped by other elements similar creatures.

My favourite Death card is Bone Wall. Indestructable (mostly) by permanent control. As long as your opponent doesn't have many creatures (you should have killed them off as soon as you played it  :) ) it will last much longer than a phase shield, and it is currently the only shield which can be 'recharged'

This is a fiendish question. Do I admit to killing various cute and cuddly for my own consumption to show my dedication to death, or would that disgust you and make you wish I hadn't continued writing the sentence long after it had run out of content. (Or I could say Pizza)

Please take a one sentence cheap shot at each of the other elements.
Good thing TNG got to this one first, honestly I think I would have had a lot more fun with it (until I later read your response and felt very foolish.

Question: Favorite zombie movies?
Since Shawn of the Dead was also stolen from me, I am going to go off on a long-winded speech about how 'zombies' respresenting death is derogatory, and it is the equivalent of calling all slow people 'retards'. We upstanding noblemen of the most ancient house of Death will not have anything to do with these crude and unsophisticated "movies" in which the scriptwriter's budget was clearly spent on false blood and organs, for the commonfolk of the world to watch in horror. If you are looking for a reason for my narrow-mindedness on this subject, it is completely and totally impossible that I only say this because I haven't viewed any other movies of this genra, so please, do not even consider reccomending them to me.

Ah, but as much as you should respect the other elements, you should also know their weaknesses, if you wish to be a good master ;)

Honestly, it's not so much knowing their weaknesses as it is pointing them out.
Another way of saying it, is that I would not be opposing the idea that Trash Talking should be an official and scored part of the war.  :P

DesertKnight, Those 3 questions all require some thinking and writing, so I hope you won't mind that I am breaking my work into a couple of stages. (However it should be said here again, that I do not intend to act as a general in the coming war if I become master)

The topic is quite dead now, but a while ago I stumbled upon the >30 card exploit. People thought I was being stupid, but a couple of people (ji412jo and SpikeSpiegel) PvPed me, and confirmed that I did actually have a 27 card deck. However, it was still considered a bug, that was non-repeatable. But one time in chat, Dm1231 (If I got the numbers wrong, I apologise) had his own theory on how to do it, considering the evidence. I won't say that much about it because it would be unwise to let the exploit be visible on the forums (Dm you helped me, so I won't hold it to you  :P ), but with my ability to get myself stuck in the weirdest situations and adding a key piece somewhere, it was recreated. (And no, this does not mean you guys will all get >30 rare card farms). I was pretty happy that all these people gave me a chance to prove I wasn't crazy. (Difficult with a name like DrunkDestroyer)


I can picture a couple of players who I would have difficulty working with. However, they are all for different reasons, and I would probably react accordingly. However, for the purpouses of this I will describe a 'middle player' (not exactly anyone in particular, an average of some of the ideas). Qualities: Persistent. Problems: Argumentative, Finds it difficult to keep with the rules of the event (wrong decks-vault management errors).
I would PM this player in private. I would state his good points, and say how lucky we are to have him on our team. However, I would also be very firm about sticking to the rules, and possibly lay the blame for this on me "Look, I'm a pretty new General, and I'm not always the best, so I would really appreciate it if for the moment, we could all play completely by-the-book". If this approach didn't work, aside from cursing him incessantly under my breath, I would try something more direct and harsh. (I am debating on how harsh is too much, but if he [for some reason I have decided it is a male] was ruining the war for the rest of the team then this would probably be about the message he would need. "As much as I appreciate you trying to go the extra mile, it is hurting the rest of the team and me, since we all get punished for any mistakes you make. No team wants to work with someone who will go get themselves banned from chat or the forums. If you do not co-operate, and work with the team, we will have to remove you from the team" (Threat here is empty- and I could possibly add some more which I have no authority to do.)


Men, we have come far. There have been obstacles in our journey. There have been problems that have risen. Yet, we have surpassed them, avoided them, and conquered them. We are here. We cannot go any further.
There were those who didn't believe us. There were those who didn't trust us. And there were those who stood in our way.
And now we stand over them. Soldiers. Teammates. Friends. We, united under the banner of death, have proven them all wrong. For we, we are the victors. We, we are the champions. And we, we are the Greatest!
War is not won by the smartest men. War is not won by the strongest warriors. War is not won by the craftiest strategists. War is won by the most united, dedicated and passionate team.
We are that team. We hold the laurels. We triuphed. We team, have won the War!

Oh dear me..... so many questions. Gone all day Sunday and worked all day today.... i thought this was the relaxing stage. And i won't be reading TNG's or DD's responses til after i'm done.

How would you explain to a new player why the Element of Death is like maybe the 8th-best Element for killing creatures?
Not to nitpick but for killing creatures i would probably list Death at #6. Darkness, Earth, Life, Light, Time, and Water i would say are worse at "killing" creatures. Creature Control i would say you are spot on. The reason why our CC isn't too hot is that we don't have anything in our arsenal that kills fast. Like poison, plague, virus's and Afla all are slow accumulating damage cards.

1. Which of these qualities should a Master have and why?(Pls choose one from the list.)   
    Honesty,Compassion,Passion, Diligence,Integrity,Patience,Respectful,Attitude or Others.(if any)

2. Which of these qualities should a Master NOT have and why?(Pls choose one from the list.)
   Boastfulness,Proud,Laziness,Disrespectful towards others,Dishonesty,Ill-Tempered, or Others.(if any)
1) If i had to pick one i pick honesty. You can be brash, arrogant, rude, but at least if i know you are a man of your word i can respect that and trust you.
2) This one is a bit tougher but i guess my answer will be in the same vein. I hate dishonesty as i am a firm believer in integrity. If you have to lie and cheat through life i really want nothing to do with you personally.

wich deck did you liked the most, team death played in war2?
This is going to be kind of funny because this deck is not a good deck. This deck is my favorite because i was supposed to make this a suicide deck and save these cards for the next round. Thing is i decided not to suicide, cast the future aside and went with it vs Entropy in round 7 where we were close to elimination. What ended up happening is that we lost all our other matches and won this one vs our strongest opponent keeping us alive.

Hi Shantu!

Acceleration is a nice card for gravity but it really does not work at all with Death with our low health creatures. As a lobo it's kind meh since we don't really synergize great with gravity.

Mitosis is a pretty good card that can be used with most elements decently. I could see using this in a deck with upped recluses. 3-4 mitosis and 2-3 heals. Only problem is our creatures once again have so little HP that killing the creatures with mitosis would be really easy and you just might be better off using mummies or poisons instead in lieu of them.

My personal favorite meal is from a Lebanese restaurant we have down here. Chicken tawook with spicy hummus, garlic sauce, pita, and fatoosh. Yum.

As a good master of death, you should be able to humiliate all the other elements... if you have to.

Uhhh.. i guess we have different ideas of what a good Master is. I'm a firm believer in respectful in victory and defeat. I think my teammates can attest to that.

Question: Favorite zombie movies?
Really VRT? Well not a big zombie movie guy but i am a fan of the resident evil series (please don't hate me) and i liked Dawn of the Dead. I really did enjoy reading Zombie World War Z though.

Questions for the candidates of the Trial of :death
(DesertKnight tracking notes: Form A)
Good day friends, I'm very honored to post these questions directly to each individual candidate, I hope these questions are inspiring and illuminating.

If you find you need clarification or an example of certain things; let me know and I'll edit the question to make it more clear.

To MrBlonde:
Question 1: Name an event/time in elements (the game/forum/chat) that another friendly person has aided you unexpectedly.

Give the situation, and tell how this pleasant surprise affected you.

Question 2: You started posting in the forums on February 19, 2010, Do you see yourself come February 19, 2020 that "at one time" you would become a grand master?

Do you see yourself ever getting "bored" and/or retiring from war?
Question 3: I want you to consider this scenario. coinich was the master in war #1. At that time I want you (with all your current knowledge) to play in that war.

Would you do anything different than coinich?(you may not remove/exchange team members)

In other words, give a general strategy.
Greetings DK! Pleasure to answer your questions. And perhaps if these questions ever end i will get to chat with you.. in chat.

1) Hmmm interesting. Actually i think it was Nils who helped me out really quickly with some deck help in last Masters tourney. He gave me some good advice and it certainly helped me out.

2) Do i see myself ever becoming Grand Master? That would be an awesome achievement and i could see that happening but i'd need a little luck and it isn't that big a deal to me. As long as i represent the element well and am helpful to the community in some way i don't really care for accolades. Do i ever see myself getting bored? At times i do get tired of grinding and when i'm really busy working its hard for me at times to read a lot of threads. But i do try to spend as much free time as possible on the game. I want this game to grow and succeed because elements really is a great game and it has an awesome community. Will i ever retire from War. I'm sure at some point as the old guard will fade away eventually. For now though i still have at last 2-3 Wars in me.

3) Well there is a problem with this question DK. I was the Master for both War 1 and 2. While Coinich was Master there was no War.

Hurray! That was the last question!
