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.

Vote for killsdazombies!
Last time i only got 3 votes, yet i still went on to fight the master, because i owned all those other guys, Anyway i went after life master before and me and gl1tch had an epic fight, 4/5 his lead in the end, but still it was lots of fun. Even if i dont beat gl1tch, i would still love to fight him again At LEAST.


This is a race between me and..... well every one else died.

I suppose this is the part where I defend my spot.

But I really don't think I have to.  I seriously doubt that anything I say at this point could supersede anything I've done over the last two months.  So I guess I'll just list everything I did over the last two months.  Good and bad.

- Invented the RoL/hope deck.
- Came in last in the war.  This was due to several reasons.  Although my soldiers weren't forthcoming with ideas, (all candidates except KDZ), I was a terrible leader.  They didn't do their job, and I did nothing but worsen already horrible morale.  All 11 losing decks were picked and made by me.  Combined, my soldiers only made one deck that used cards using the vault.    It was because of the war I initially decided not to go for this position, and for a while I started playing entropy more heavily than life.  But entropy didn't have the cheap healing life did, and I came back knowing I liked life better.  And now that the general will be leading life's army, and the master can be a humble soldier, I see know reason not to go after this post again.
- I asked the masters to all make threads based upon the best duo with their elements.  Although not all masters did this, the finished product was a WoE map where all neighbors had synergy.
- I created two threads based upon the in development cards.  This is just a minor point, and Jmizzle did all of the work for one of them, but it shows initiative and attentiveness.

So I guess to summarize the last two months, I did my job.  I didn't always like it, and I didn't always do it well, but the parts I didn't do well or like I don't have to do anymore.  I wouldn't be going for the master spot if I did.  I do, and for the most part always have, thought life as the best element.  No other element has both the speed and the healing it does, and it's why, even when I wanted to, I couldn't be happy playing anything else.

Somehow, I doubt this changed anyone's vote, or at least anyone who already knew all of this.  But it's the truth.  Those are the facts.  They're what you should vote based off of.  I'll get the votes I deserve.

Came up with the war.

That is a lie. I made the first beta version of War back in February, and War 1.0 was just an improved version of that. Having spent a lot of time brainstorming, planning and writing rules, it highly annoys me that you try to take credit for it.

Your contribution was the idea that cards act as "health points". I took that idea (giving you credit for it) and used it with my Vault idea. Your original idea was completely different from what War #1 was, I only used one small part of it.

I have to say I was very surprised by that false claim and it will have an effect when I vote.

Meh, first I heard that =/

Meh, first I heard that =/

Here is the history of War event:

1. I started the first beta War event sign-up topic.
2. There was some issues about "unfair" rules and the event was canceled due to whining.
3. I went back to the drawing board for a couple of months.
4. I announced War 1.0 (rules were 90% ready at this point) .
5. In the secret Masters section, Zeru posted his own ideas for War and other Masters followed.
6. Gl1tch posted a complex idea involving a lot of things. I liked the "cards are hp" idea so I borrowed it, creating the Vault.
7. I made some big changes to rules and built the event more and more around the Vault, until it was the core of War event.
8. We got tons of feedback from the community, and got a lot of great ideas for War 2.0 which will make the event even more epic.


As a conclusion, you did have a big part in giving me the idea which I used to make the Vault, but to say that you came up with War is just ridiculous, especially considering that you posted your idea 3 months after War was first announced.

All 11 losing decks were picked and made by me.

Not to excuse for my performance in the war, but just to point out a tiny bit of error in that claim: actually the deck that lost my first battle was picked and made by me. The deck had the potential to win, but I lost anyways.

  Also, to explain my absence in the first phase, my life is getting somewhat busy, and I now practically log in every day just to spin the oracle and do nothing else. The amount of work needed to be done for the first phase might not seem much to most people, but I cannot bring myself to face it since I don't spend much time playing elements now. This is to say, I cannot prove that I am worthy, and I acknowledge it. I choose to give up on the effort to win the trial, school is starting soon, and I don't want to burden myself too much on other stuff. I choose to leave the trial, may luck be with the other three competitors, they have all fought against or along side me before, either in war or trial, I would be satisfied no matter which of them become the master of life.
  So voters, don't bother voting for me, cast your vote on the other three, whichever you deem worthy of the title.

End of speech.

Exactly the reason I didn't join the life trial.  Being a master is a big time commitment.  Maybe I'll have time later when I get closer to getting my PhD finished.

kuro another brother hasnt been on since he signup. So does that mean that me and gl1tch should fight now?

Nope, still lot of points up for grabs. Glitch needs to fight in the Masters tourney and still have this phase to accumulate points.

Ah, then there is a simple misunderstanding.  The point you get across is exactly the same one I was, except you worded it way better.

I apologize profusely.
