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.

Hello there y'all, this is PhantomFox, and I would greatly appreciate it if you would vote for me to be the Master of Gravity.  Gravity is a great element, and a strong one.  I quickly, well, gravitated to it after wandering through / to / and now I'm here to stay.  Gravity has some of the best creature control between Otyughs and Gravity Pull, and Unstoppable (especially with Chargers) creates an offense that is what it says on the tin.  As for why you should vote for me, I have a constant forum presence.  I am available, friendly, and open.  Personally my my strength is Creativity, and I hope to bring many new ideas to the table to help make Gravity a dominant force to be reckoned with.  To be honest, I'm okay at PVP, but no superstar.  However, I did take Jumbaluma to Game 9 in the previous trials.
So in short, I would appreciate your vote as I am a staunch supporter of Gravity, and I believe I can be a strong representative, and have the element continue its evolution to greatness.

Hmm.... this one I'm actually torn on...
What is the most beneficial thing each of you has done on these forums?

[PhantomFox]

Honestly, I haven't had much opportunity to do much in that vein.  Mostly when I help out, it's in chat instead of the forums, helping new people with information.

No answer = no vote (probably). I'm a little bit torn between the competitors, seeing that almost all of them have provided to be insightful, intelligent, and talented in their very own ways (especially after reading some of their articles and the work they've shown during Phase 1 - the war - before all these events occured).

Q: A simple question: Can you explain how your avatar relates to the theme of Gravity? Do you think you can better express it with a different avatar?

[Xinef]

I'll add a question.

What do you think of Chimera? Does it fit your vision of ? Do you think it'll change the way people perceive ?
And lastly, would you change anything about it?

[PhantomFox]

My avatar?  I chose it because I used that picture in as part of a card idea to win the Forum Name competition.  I have, and always will be, PhantomFox on practically any forum I go to, and I like to choose an avatar that matches it.  If you're going to be picky, I can have it tinted orange, but c'mon.

As for Chimera, I was sorta surprised by it, since I had come up with a similar idea for trials.  And so have a dozen other people before me, or so I'm told.  So yes, it is very gravity-ish, as it fits thematically, and is an unconventional offense.  I would have liked it as a spell that could play on both sides as a counter to fractal, but that would have probably been too overpowered, so it's fine as is.

Sorry about being so quiet for the last 12 hours. Being quite busy after arriving at Korea.

Anyways, I'm Girlsgeneration, running for the master of gravity.

Gravity was my favorite element from the start. I chose it as my starting element, mainly because it looked rather interesting compared to other 'typical' elements like darkness or fire. As I started participating in the forums, I learned about the 12 elements in depth, but my love towards remained still, especially after confronting a flying Titan and its massive 70 HP; in fact, my favorite deck is flying Titans gravity pulled. And yes, I was a member of team during the first war, but that was because Antagon invited me and also because I wanted to gain experience in the war so that team gravity can benefit in the next one. I am still loyal to gravity.

PF put up a post earlier than me, and basically summarized everything I was about to say. Many underestimate gravity after comparing it to other elements. However, always remind yourselves that Gravity has the BEST creature control card Otyugh(which, in fact, is a creature), and ALSO the element that fuels the only permanent control on a stick, pulverizer.  It also has gravity pull, a unique creature control that can be used both offensively and defensively.

Although I have started participating in the forums much later than Jumba or PF, I tried to be as active as possible. As many may know, I appear quite frequently in chat to talk about the game itself or help the newbies. In game, I regularly do pvp1s and pvp2s and advise others how to perfect their decks. Also, as a wiki editor, I also aided in perfecting the new wiki.

@Gl1tch's question : I stroll around in the forums and do various stuff, but not focusing on a single topic. Instead, I'm active in chat to help people and also work in developing the wiki.

@Xinef's question : I expected a card like Chimaera to be made sooner or later, especially after seeing PF's fusion card idea. It is probably the best card Zanz has ever made, and it would make gravity a much stronger element than it is now. I see endless uses of this card just like fractal gave birth to numerous decks.


Anyways, this is the end of my long first post. Please vote for me as the master of gravity, and I will make sure to prove that is awesome.

Just took a snack with some Chocholate-Ice cream sandwich. Well Im back to ask more questions with  !

Q: @ ALL: If a noob comes and tells you Gravity sucks and they have 'fat' creatures (a lot of HP) , blah blah....How will you respond?

Q: @Jumbalumba, You actually have been a lot busy in PvP events etc, and proved yourself to be an epic PvP'er yourself, but your inactivity in trials has been proved to be your disadvantage, like last time. This time, there are more competitors, do you think you will be able to retain your title once again?

Q: @Phantom Fox, You are one of the best card-makers and also took part last time for the trials, but you lost. Are you confident this time that you will win?

Q: @Numbers, You have been inactive and have the least points in this trial, do you expect to beat the challengers in PvP?

Q: @girlsgeneration, You are a wiki editor and have immense respect in this community, but you did switch from Fire to Darkness to Gravity. If you are master of Gravity, what do you plan to do first as Master?

1. I've actually had that happen to me a few times. I said every time that 'fat' is a good thing since the creatures are invulnerable to maxwell demon's paradox and also because the high HP could be used effectively with gravity pull. wait until the chimaera comes out.

2. First of all, I'd like to say that just because one switch from one element to another doesn't mean that she/he won't be the best master. For example, Essence, master of who i think really deserves his title, actually volunteered to become the master of at the beginning. What matters is how one is loyal to the element NOW.

The first thing i'll do if i become a master is to make strong decks and strategies to make sure that gravity is not underestimated. The decks are likely to be based on chimaera to draw(?) people's attention and show how awesome gravity can be.

[PhantomFox]

Assuming that the new player isn't a troll, my best offense against ignorance is a pinpoint picking apart at their logic, or lack thereof, to show the value of . 

As for my prospects in the trials, I simply hope to do the best that I can.  PVP isn't my strongest suit, but I hope to make up for it with creative decks that will surprise my opponents.  I did manage to take Jumba to the final game last time, so that should say something.

[Jumbalumba]

This may be odd but I personally would like for the public to vote for persons other than myself. I do still wish to keep the integrity of the Trials so I will still compete in the final round or whatever else is necessary but I just do not feel I should be worthy of too many votes.

Gravity is a great element. A lot of my liking for it has been based on how unfashionable it is. It doesn't have the great power of Fire or the many things Entropy can do but it is still great in its own way which I feel many people don't give enough credit to. However, I am a busy individual and I also feel I cannot give enough credit to Gravity in terms of events and other things. That's why I feel others should get more votes than me. I will not stand down though because if I am able to win in the final battle even with the disadvantages I rack up then the candidate is not worthy of this role.

@ Wardead: I am not confident of retaining my title to be honest mainly because of my points disadvantage. I felt PhantomFox only lost last time because of the lack of upgraded cards he had so he couldn't get as much variety with his decks and change things up. This time should be different. girlsgeneration has also been very active and will be a worthy competitor as well. Not really sure about the others.
