Alright, guys!  I am so excited that the trials have finally started!  (:

For those of you who don't know me yet, I'm Pepokish!  (Obviously!) 

Why would I make an excellent master?
Because I like to think that I am a kind, helpful person -- or at the very least, I do try to be.  I like helping newcomers, and I try to be positive when participating in forum discussions.  I hang out in chat and on the forum nearly every day, I try to do a little editing for the wiki every day, I know a fair bit about Elements, and I am overall a very responsible, dependable person.  Lastly, as you can see, I am more than capable of making literate posts, and I take my responsibilites seriously.     

So, why the master of Life? 
Life has always been my favourite element in the game.  I know a lot about the element, and I try to incorporate it in all of my decks.  I even designed the art for the Leaf Dragon!  When Ohmega stepped down from his position as life master, I was too shy to send in an application -- but when I found out that I would be given a second shot at the title, I knew I had to take the chance.  So here I am, kindly asking for your votes! 

Thank you all, and good luck to my fellow competitors!  :)

I suppose I shall follow the previously made format.  Excuse me while I put my self-centered hat on.

Why have I been an excellent master/user?
Ever since being instated as master of life, I've done many things each master has been required to do.  Mainly, I fixed the life section of the wiki, so it is now completely updated.  This including adding the new image for the leaf dragon, which I also did on the leaf dragon thread.  I generally cleaned up the life section, fixing the name of the Cockatrice thread, which had strange characters in the thread title for reasons I didn't understand.  I just deleted said characters.  But I've done other things too.  In my brief period of master, I've only had to use my moderational powers rarely.  In these instances, I successfully corrected the issue, informed the user, and befriended the user breaking the rules, the latter I believe is the most impressive feat.  Said users are now following the rules they broke.  As master of life, I've gently nudged users in the correct direction while remaining friendly.  I have also, as a user, designed theme music for several of the elements (the theme music of death and life being the only finished ones, both were rejected).  I have also completed Scaredgirl's request to divide the elements into four groups, which I believe shows my extensive knowledge of elements, and I produced a rainbow deck that allowed new units to grind AI5 without any rares or upgrades, providing a bridge between false god killer and noob.  I believe I have been generally helpful, friendly, and productive on the forums, and this is how a master should be.
So, why master of life?
I present to you now the same argument I used to become master of life the first time.  I have always wanted to be a mod, in my many years on the internet, although the opportunity rarely arose.  It wasn't until this site was I ever even considered.  But it wasn't master of life that first opened up, it was master of air.  As a user who would (and does) greatly enjoy being a mod, it was difficult to pass the opportunity up.  But I did.  Why?  Because I don't like air!  Why would I become in charge of an element I didn't like when those more qualified could?  So I instead bit my tongue and bided my time.  And then master of gravity opened up as well.  And yet again I chose not to volunteer, as I don't like gravity.  But when master of life opened up, it was a different story.
Before I became master of life, I played darkness.  It was my starter deck, I kinda liked it, but I was immediately attracted to the life gain power promised by vampires.  I tried blessed vampires, FFQ decks, and other decks, but I was never happy with any of them because they didn't fit my play-style.  I liked speed.  I like healing.  And no element I'd seen besides life can promise both.  So then I tried duoing to life.  Hyper vampires was perhaps my favorite grind deck I ever played, and it was the deck that got me across the 20k score mark.  It was the first deck I started upgrading.  But, thinking back, I wasn't sure I liked the darkness cards in there.  Steal, drainlife, vampires, they were the only cards I enjoyed, plus an occasional dusk mantle.  So I dropped the darkness, and played pure life.  I loved it.
Ohmega stepped down two weeks later.



For all you Tl;Dr people, here's my argument.  I'm doing a good job, I like my job, but that's secondary.  If you want someone who's master of life, because they like and are great with life, I'm your guy.

Hmmm... an artist, a very frequent old-time poster... this competition also looks tough.  :P

Before I vote, I want to ask the people of this trial (a different question from Light) something before I decide:

Q: Since 'Life' itself has excessive amounts of meaning depending on the perspective of the person, express your meaning of what 'Life' really is using a symbolic organism that is based in the plant kingdom (bonus points if you manage to make it funny or tie it in with your personality/talents). ;)

Kuro, I really like the questions you have posed so far.  This one is a bit confusing for me, but I will certainly do my best!

I have wrestled with this question for some time, and I'm not entirely sure how to approach it.  Please let me know if my answer doesn't quite fit the bill, I'd be happy to take another shot at it.  :)  Here is my answer, in a nutshell:

It's easy to see the differences between us -- the greater difficulty is seeing our similarities.  Though we may find ourselves divided by the varying branches of life, we must remember that we are all part of the same tree.

Life is that which unifies us all.

You definitely managed to make a thoughtful answer. ^_^ I think it's important to ask some 'off' questions to really see a person's motivation, character, and some undiscovered talents or hidden potential that may or may not be there to really see who can handle this job.

More importantly, these questions serve one purpose for me to help decide: it's okay if you don't answer them or are unsure about how to answer it, but if your post itself is devoid of personality, intelligence, AND being honest, then that's a deal breaker on who I -won't- be voting for.

I'm going to cheat and go with an animal.

And that animal is the ant.

In this life, a lot of us have different roles.  Some of us are worker ants, some of us warriors.  We might be as powerful as queens, or as lowly as the ant who carries dead ants to their pile.  But there's one thing that all ants have in common.

They work for the greater good.

Every day, they work together to achieve that greater good.  Some ants slave away carrying objects twenty times their weight, other risk their lives searching for food, and just today I saw ants battling a worm to the death, just so that other ants survive another week.  Life's a lot like that, don't you think?  Some of us are the working ants, slaving away at the elements wiki to make tiny improvements.  Some of us are like queen ants, breathing new life and new cards into the game.  But all of us work for that greater good!

Ants represent something we should all strive to be.  If the world could forget it's differences, and everyone could make one tiny step towards world peace, it would be a better place.  Your life might be one like the worker ant, carrying his dead comrades into the pile, but on those days where you feel the saddest, just remember.  There's always that greater good.

Hm... you did 'technically' cheat, but after reading your post, I approve of the answer you've given - although I realize, should animals have been included in the initial question? Maybe my question sucked. :(

Oh well, thanks again for the answers you guys! (I'll wait a little longer for the other challengers to try to post something in here, should they feel obliged to answer my silly interrogations) ^^;

Em, so Gl1tch was lying when he said the PVP trials will happen today, I got so excited over that :P
Anyways, I will give you a painful lecture just because they did that.
Why would I make an amazing master of life?
Em, good question, I need to think about it for a few minutes................. Aw, my head hurts.
[shameless self promotion]
I would make a good master of life because I am adequate in the knowledge of life and I have experience with a magnitude of life related decks. This is the skill part, the more important part is that I am a nice person and a friendly member of the element community. I go on forum everyday, and shoot out not-so-brilliant comments and ideas whenever I could. I always promoted life, as shown by my failed attempt at the short story competition. I can take life as an element to the next level by not contributing brilliant card ideas for life so you guys' ideas will be more emphasized. I dreaded death, I will not hesitate to reset my element account if it will make me live 10 years longer, that showed my passion for life and my love of the living world. I've got nothing special, except that I am genetically unique; I have no talents except the ones I pretend to have, but I will strive to be a good master of life, to the end of infinity, to the edge of the universe!
VOTE FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/shameless self promotion]

As for the question raised by the person whose name bears the same syllable as mine:
I will also cheat, and go with an insect.
The insect is an katydid. Katydid is a truly miraculous creature in that it resembles a grasshopper but is indeed carnivorous. It is strange how everyone knows of grasshoppers but no one knows enough about  a katydid to differentiate them from a grasshopper.
A Katydid represents an aspect of life in that while many people have formidable skills, they are not recognized and may be overlooked, but a truly sharp knife will eventually show its edge and the katydid will not hesitate to make food of those that do not recognize its status as a carnivore, truly formidable talents will eventually let themselves be known. So, if you are not recognize for your skills, don't worry, confidence will eventually carry you to where you needed to be.

So who is that poor worm some of us battled to death? The people on Kong possibly?

@Jangoo, I don't follow your question, perhaps it's something only a few understand?

And I noticed, with pleasure that life is among the few elements that has 4 challengers. That means, life is popular!!!!!!
Bad for me, that's more competitions.

Reasons to vote for killsdazombies (other then the name)

1st, I'm very active, I check out the new cards ideas and life section at least twice a day, Iv helped several players build decks, (Iv made about 8 myself ) and I have used life for a long time, my first element and its my favorite out of all of them.

2nd, I try to advance the game through card making, most people want new cards and I try to come up with a new idea or help with a new idea at least twice a day.

3rd, I love the element life, Its the best to me personally because its just awesome, I love to use it and i know how to use it.

And finally, I love this game, Its my favorite thing to do and because of that im nearly always online, Iv found a few glitches and reported them, and I know how to play this game.
