Well, here it goes...

It's true - I'm a fairly new person to the Elements community as a whole, and when I first stepped into these forums, you could say that the masses of information available to this game was overwhelming to me, and I was shocked at how large of a group there was supporting this game from behind the scenes. And yes, I'll also admit that I was first introduced to this game by a non-card game correlation via Kongregate. (Kongai initially turned me away from card games when I went on that site constantly, but my friend bought me an old game of Yu-gi-Oh a few months ago; upon playing Elements recently, I was beyond persuaded - I was enlightened on finding 'my deck' that was just right).

Time is an interesting element, and I have ideas on how to spice it up (or possibly just update the graphics, at least ^^; ) through new card mechanics. It was the first element I tried, and compared to all the other elements, I couldn't be more attached to Time than I am now - just kidding on that one, I'd probably be in love with Time more if I had Precognition. Hastening a turn to draw that extra card, a Sundial to take a breather from it all, launching an Elite Fate Egg into something that could turn the battle (for better or worse). It had everything from almost every other element that I could want.

It's a philosophical elemental to me as well. Personality-wise, people may assume that Time reminds them of their old grandfather or some man with a long white beard holding some hourglass in their hand (if you don't get the Cardcaptor Sakura reference, it's okay  ), but to me, Time doesn't necessarily seem to always flow forward. It's a constantly changing state of things, regression and evolution, infinity and a moment; it's an element that always makes me feel curious about the possibilities.

And I know for a fact that this game will continue supporting this element more than ever.

As for being the master, I believe that I can learn from PuppyChow and become an impressive master over this element, and try my hardest to assist those who want to build mono, duo, and even trio-decks with Time. It'll be difficult to me at first, but I'm driven, and I will preserve and continue learning about the strategies that are ever-so present (or not) of the cards in hand. More importantly, I know that I'll always be friendly (if not at least polite) with my responses and critiques of other people's ideas. I'll always remain humble by the simple fact that I don't know everything. Experience is one thing that will keep growing as I keep posting and reading this forum, even if my post count now doesn't make me a Senior Member.

I do have school and other obligations that may affect my posting habits, but at the end of the day, I have this website now a favorite link in my internet browser, and I can't wait to see what people have posted then. Also, I believe I'm 7+ hours away from the actual time zone posts, so forgive me if it appears I'm posting at 3 A.M. Most likely, I'm working on my own 'time-based' character for an RPG-action-adventure-puzzle game that hopefully will be programmed one day alongside upgrading my deck.


Finally - again, I'm only a challenger. The 'Remove Vote' option is still below the poll in case you accidentally clicked the wrong name during the voting session, and it's up to you to help decide who should be the Master of Time. To all the other challengers/current Master, good luck and have fun!

I voted PuppyChow, and here's why. I'm not too fond of Kael Hate's attitude and thoughts concerning some things. The other three... I've never even heard of them.

Astaroth, please try to be less negative in these delicate threads.  It's unfortunately easy to insult someone.

It's okay. ^^; Popularity only wins part of the trials in any case, but that's besides the point - the poll is here to allow people to vote for whoever they think should really be the master, and sharing thoughts on who voted for who (while controversial), at least gives the other challengers and the master a perspective of their current faults and strengths. In this case, my presence obviously needs an improvement. ^_^

@Kuroaitou or could I say Black-Sorrow. My experience in games has been longer than you have been alive. Your rant is interesting but speaks of your inexperience.

I strive to be the best or make those that hold titles of the best prove their worth. If dedication to the game and forum is what you need, check out the statistics and how long I spend on here to make the game better or check my posts.

I'm speechless that you got my name right. >_>

As for experience, I totally know that - I'm not trying to say that I have more experience than anyone on this board, but rather, I'm willing to keep on gaining more, even if I don't become master. ^^;

As for experience in games 'has been longer than [I've] been alive'... I feel like a toddler now, but then again, there's no age limit to be a master, right?

[pepokish]

I am honestly quite torn, here.

I have come to really respect Kael Hate, for having the guts to say exactly what he thinks.  That, though it may ruffle feathers, is an excellent quality to have.  Sure, he may lack tact at times (pardon me for saying so!), but he is down to earth and no-nonsense, which I can certainly appreciate (as someone who is head-in-the-clouds and bizarrely obliging).

The thing is, I'm not convinced that he's the better choice when it comes to this particular element.  I have no idea why Kael Hate chose to run for master of time (and it probably doesn't matter, but I would like to know the reason).  Right now, I'm leaning more toward another competitor, simply because he seems to have an affinity for Time.

Kael, would you mind my asking; why would you like to be the master of Time?

Nearly everything I own is black. The word Kuro is Kin to me. A little investigation gave me the rest of the detail.

I wonder if you can work out my name.

This is a great attitude to have in my eyes.

More great attitude. If you lack experience then Determination is a good substitute. It keeps you in the game and gives you the opportunity to learn the experiences.

I plan to be a master of all, not just a Master of Time. I don't believe in stopping here but on going for the Title of Grandmaster.

There are a few masters that I have found respect for and that are at the top of the game, Jmizzle7, Terrorking, and PuppyChow. I watched Puppychow in the battle of the masters and had some short discussion with him on game tactics regarding time. I decided he was a good choice for testing myself against.

Second to that I want to have influence to make the game better and the title of Master gives some respect and shows experience enough to obtain the title.

Tertiary to this is my solid founding in Time. I started with Time as my starting element as at the time it was the best at Card advantage. I built my collection grinding with Time and enjoy playing in the Time deck environment.

So, you basically want to be Master of Time just to get more power? Hmm, this will lose you some votes.

Yes, I want to be a Master to have more influence in making a better game. Helping the community will help me to do that.
If saying that loses me votes then so be it, I would not lie and give a reason that isn't true.
A community confidence earned by deception is bound to turn into a community that has no trust.
