Phase 2 - Community Vote
Phase 2 has ended

It's time to vote for your favorite Master candidate.

Every community member has one vote. You can change your vote at any time as long as there is still time on the clock.

Vote based on who you think would make the best Master of that element. Do not vote based on who is the best player or who you know personally. Try to pick someone who you think would help the community the most.

Feel free to ask the candidates difficult questions to help you make your decision.

Well Dragoon already pointed out (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,10805.msg142563#msg142563) that Azumi and Sven have been mathematically eliminated. I have tremendous respect for both players but at this point a vote for either is a vote lost. :/
 
Why vote for me rather than Dragoon
Honestly, I think Drag would make a phenomenal Master... for some other element.  Both he and I have essentially all rares and the wealth required to face Antagon with fully upped decks (please note I'm now at 90k score).  We're both active in chat and the forums, thoughtful, and articulate.
 
I'd only question whether he's the right fit for .  In addition to not listing as his favorite element in his profile (bush league, Drag ) and predicting that would fall to sixth place in the first War, he was truly a champion for in the War.  He was active in deck creation, fought and went 2-2, and even designed their banner.  I on the other hand, was active in deck creation and testing for Team , fought and went 7-2 (one match was a suicide), and was integral in adding corrum and girlsgeneration to the team.
 
Why vote for me rather than Antagon
Oh boy.  Unfortunately, Antagon is a solid deckbuilder, a very talented pvper, and he's very well liked because he's a genuinely good guy.  And that's why I need your vote!  To stand a chance against him I need to have close to equal footing in terms of upped cards.  I expect Ant has a better-than-average chance at 10 points from the upcoming Masters Battle and if so he may be fighting to retain his title with close to a fully upped deck.  Help make the battle fair: vote kevkev60614!

I'm poor ingame, I'm a slacker and didnt make time for phase1. I'll go ahead and test my luck unupped.

My vote was hard to cast, I weighed my 3 options (sorry Azumi, neither u nor me did deserve it) And it seemed to me like Dragoon needed it the most. I have enormous respect for all 3, and they are all awesome players. Kevkev have made some decks that have really made my playtime fun. Dragoon has been genuinly awesome and really funny, and we've had some funtimes And Antagon, antagon was the first person I ever PVP'ed, he gave me tips and some pointers on deckbuilding. However, antagon and kevkev have the cardadvantage.

My vote goes for Dragoon. Good luck mates =)
If battling will be done, ill show ya unupped

[cokeandaspirin]

i will have to vote for svenn, because he is hotter than fire...

In other hand(and talking more serious).. i think dragoon will be a good master, he have been active since i started playing, contributed a lot to the comunity and came up with good ideas we still use nowadays , in spite he played light in the war, maybe the fire team was full when he tried to join, and prolly kevkev if there wasnt place on fire u would hav managed to play in other team just to not miss the event, he devoted totally himself to his role as a light soldier, and i think he will do the same as a master...

and as for the azumi and svenn being out (this goes for dragoon and kev) not voting em because they are not going to win, is plain dumb, u dont vote to say:"yay the i vote the winning one" u vote the one you want to win

So good luck u all

I voted antagon.

He proved he was great at this game when he schooled me in the war.  Hell, he schooled all of us.

Probably the master most deserving of his post.

LOL! Thanks!


Well, I think someone should vote for me because I am active, I help people with what I can in chat, and sometimes, I try when I cant.
I really like to be a genuine nice guy and help people around with what I can, and take some of the burden away from others, being asked same questions day in and day out!

Well, I wont write too much, I hope I get your vote, if not.. ohwell
You just angered a viking and his gods! We WILL come for you, and use the to hunt you and yours, pillage every village, thats my motto! [/size=1pt]lulz[/joke][/size]

[Antagon]

i hated to do this, but i had to vote for me. i really think, i deserve it. if you think, it sounds strange if i talk that way, also for me, BUT

a) i won the war with my element: fire (here i also have to say, kevkev played a great role in this war, cant say that about the other challengers, cause i dont know them that good)

b) i won several tourneys and last seasons beginners league: again a proof of deckbuilding skill (you dont need that much amount of playing skill, if you have the deckadvantage, its enough, most of the time). this champions league season, i wish i could be more active, but war prevented that, opponent analyses and deck-testing had higher priority, now im on semi-holidays.

c) im active. - not the last days, there i had a few problems and a slow internet (i still have, the reason in not my average 12 hours per day at chat)

d) fire is my passion. now, AFTER the war, many people said something like "fire is so powerfull, every monkey could win the war with fire", etc. remember war-betting or the first few rounds of war. sure, fire is definitly one of the "easier" elements, you dont have the problem of using decks without permanent or creature control

e) do you really wanna see me without that cool grandmaster-icon posting here at forums? i think you all would miss it. i would do






sure, if you want to see another master of fire, you should vote for kevkev (i would), but if you think - and thats what i do - i did my job the best possible way, i would be happy to get your vote.

*edit*
im quoting plastiqe here, who was part of team fire last war, with great personality and skill

I can't fathom anyone replacing Antagon.  Devoted to fire, online all the time, skilled in pvp.. just wait till they open up the fire section of the war and you'll see what I mean.  I hope Ant brushes aside all usurpers and remains Master of Fire forever, we should be so lucky.

Lots of qualified challengers in this matchup and i actually like them all as i've talked with all of them in chat or are good posters. Unfortunately for everyone Antagon is well... Antagon. As of now he is THE Master of in my mind.

[PuppyChow]

I'll withhold from voting for now, but I'm leaning towards Dragoon. I know he's a great player and would probably excel at any element he wished, not to mention being a member of the forum/chat for a LONG time.

Looking at Antagon's post, he makes some good points, but the grammar... I prefer masters understanding how to use capital letters  . It makes their posts easier to understand and taken more seriously.

[Malduk]

Glad to see such a great element having such a great competition. I have no idea who to vote for yet.

Someone read my mind.

That said - I realized a crucial detail about all of the people competing in the Fire trials (if you don't answer this question, then you WILL DEFINITELY NOT get a vote).

Q: Fire did a fantastic job in the war (congrats again to Team Fire!).

That said though, some of the other masters and competitors have shown to be helpful in other aspects of the forum (PvP/Tournament organizers, Wikipedia editors, etc. for example). If you couldn’t obtain the title for Master of Fire (and subsequently, the Grand Master title), would you be willing to try out for another position instead? Why or why not?

Yes.  I would have lobbied for Warmaster if I didn't already have plans to lead in the second War.  Azumi will be a great addition, but War 1 showed how important organization is to such a large event.  I've been active in offering suggestions to better the War (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,6922.msg108253#msg108253), and I was very active in the War itself (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,150.0.html).
