Third time posting this. Have mercy on me kev D:
If you’re reading this post then I’m assuming you still are not sure of who to vote for in the Trials of Life. I therefore will not bother to summarize any of this post as I believe that you, the reader, would benefit from what I have to say.
Well. Once again I find myself standing before the community, waiting to see how I am judged as the next potential Master of
. It’s been a long journey for me to get where I stand (or sit) today, but I’m confident that this long, perilous road was set in place before me to prepare me for these Trials and the mission ahead.
But first, a glimpse into me as a person: who is willng3? Well, on the forums most know me by what I comment on and by my various titles which I have acquired as I continued to integrate myself with this community and Elements the Game itself. A personal trait of mine which I always find interesting is that as my number of responsibilities increases, my desire to address those duties and see that every responsibility that is placed upon my shoulders is taken care of promptly increases. I become frustrated when my progress is inhibited and even after a task’s completion am constantly in search of ways to improve my latest submission. Now, I believe that this trait of mine is critical towards the title of Master as it means I would take this duty very, very seriously. I can be a kind person or I can also be very short with people depending on how they address me or others around them; if you don’t consider me as your equal then I’m likely not going to think very highly of you. I’m a firm believer that you earn respect through actions rather than personal appearances and words, and since this is the internet we’re talking about, actions are all I have to judge people with. I try to be helpful when I can, but that help isn’t always made visible to the public.
This is my second time taking part in the Trials of
, and I have been doing everything within my power to improve my chances of not failing a second time here. During the 3rd Trials of
I started off strong; I finished all of my designated tasks during Phase 1 and finished with plenty of time remaining to prepare properly for the next Phase. Phase 2 was nothing short of a disaster for me. Without being able to win a single matchup my chances looked slim for making it to the final battle, but nevertheless I put forth my full effort to better my chances during Phase 3 and came out with an end result of 1 vote short of being eligible for the final battle. It would be pointless for me to say that I wasn’t discouraged by this outcome, but sometimes I can’t help but believe that everything happens for a reason; I believe this reason was revealed during War #3 and what I would take away from the Event itself in return.
My PvP experience is admittedly not extraordinary, but I do consider myself very skilled in the game nevertheless; I must have picked up something during the time it took me to gain almost 800k score, right? There are certain aspects of Elements which can be very luck-based and thus far I can’t say that my luck has been on the positive side for the majority of my time playing this game. Some of this classic behavior was demonstrated during the last Trials, but admittedly I believe there’s always a way to counteract that luck with enough predicting and player skill.
My War experience, which most consider a very important trait in candidacy for being an excellent master, I would say is greater than most would be able to claim. I have served in War 2 (Team Life) and War 3 (Team Aether) where I was able to watch as my teams ascended to 3rd place and 2nd place respectively. I would never be so bold (or foolish) as to say that the reason for my team’s success was because of my existence on that team, but clearly this shows that I’ve learned how to become successful in War and tricks of the trade to give my team the best chance of winning possible. I strongly believe in a strong sense of unity within a team in order for it to become successful and not fall to pieces and will use that to drive my goals and aspirations both before and after the War itself. After watching Team Life’s performance during War #3 firsthand, I have no intention of allowing someone else to serve as a General in my place if I become Master of Life.
Life has always held a special place in my heart ever since I began to experiment with the element itself. I consider myself a defender of the weak and wanted to understand why people perceived
as such a weak element. I find the element itself exhilarating and full of surprises. Sure it may not be the most powerful PvP element, but its card pool works well to adapt to any number of circumstances and makes it a wonderful synergistic counterpart for almost any other element. I will admit that some of my element’s balancing and card pool don’t completely satisfy me, not necessarily because I believe them to be inferior to other cards but rather because I feel their power is hindered and their utility is limited for reasons I can’t understand. The most recent
card, Mitosis, is one such example that I feel is unable to reach its full, perfectly balanced potential for unknown reasons. I want to see this element receive the proper respect it deserves and that respect isn’t limited to War, PvP, or even the card pool itself. People are always entitled to their opinions, but my belief will always stand: There is nothing inferior about the Element of
.
