What time is it Mr./Mrs. Wolf?

It's LUNCHTIME!!

And so, in the end, the big bad wolf ate poor Hyroen, liberating us from his weird questions, and all forum people lived happily ever after...

I'm going to take this in a bit different direction than most and ask you a little about deckbuilding.

What (war legal) decks would you build to defeat these two decks?

The decks should be all unupped and preferably not involve and nymphs as you don't know who will have to face down the decks.

Also, though the decks should be targeted counters, they shouldn't fall apart against other decks.

Doubtless two hard decks to counter for a time-based deck...

Following deckbuilding war rules

Deckbuilding rules:
- Any mark
- At least 50% of your cards have to be from your element
- Regular players can use unupgraded cards only
- Generals can use up to 6 upgraded cards (unupgraded cards taken from the Vault are transformed into upgraded ones)
- Lieutenants can use up to 3 upgraded cards (unupgraded cards taken from the Vault are transformed into upgraded ones)
- You cannot change your deck until the round is over

a good counter to Pandebonium could be something like this:

Code: [Select]

4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 55q 55q 55q 55q 55q 5f6 5f6 5ia 5ia 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rr 5rr 5rr 5rt 5rt 5rt 5rt 5rt 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2
The second one is a great pvp unupped deck, really hard to counter; perhaps a solution could be like this:

Code: [Select]

5c5 5c5 5f6 5f6 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5fc 5fc 5fc 5rg 5rg 5rh 5rh 5rh 5rh 5rh 5rh 5rj 5rj 5rk 5rk 5rk 5rk 5rk 5t2 5t2

A Master (better, all people) should have all qualities of first list and none of second one...

Passion is my choice from first one; a passioned Master is most likely also honest, diligence, etc... Without passion other qualities are hard to be present...

And the worst quality a Master could have is dishonesty, would be a serious lack of respect towards other players and a dishonor to the element that represents...

Hey guys!. I got a deckbuliding question for u guys too.(Have Fun!)

What kind of deck(s) would You use to counter the decks below.

The decks should be all unupped and preferably having no nymphs as you wont know who would have to face the decks.

You would have to use your own element and another element to make the deck. Try and make a deck which ppl would understand how to use it easily.

Code: [Select]

You are 15minutes late for a job interview, but you just remember that your supposed to pick your son up after school. What do you do?
--no timetravel, timestopping or alternating time in any way.

I try to call my wife/parents/parents in-law asking them to pick up my son at school, and I begin to prepare my best apologizes to job interviewer. If nobody can pick up my son after school, I skip my job interview to pick up my son and once at home I'll start to search another job...

It is one thing to know thyself.  It is another to know thy enemy.

What is Aether?

Aether can be a terrible enemy and a precious ally. I especially like the second one...it's hard to rewind something you can't target or to kill something you can't damage...

Dune Scorpions + momentum to be sure the opponent will be poisoned with neurotoxin, chargers for more damage, eternity + deja vu to avoid deckout...

Quanta production is good, and 2 discords on 48 cards shouldn't be a such big problem, as antimatter (reverse time with eternity on antimattered creature = bye bye antimatter)

You are 15minutes late for a job interview, but you just remember that your supposed to pick your son up after school. What do you do?
--no timetravel, timestopping or alternating time in any way.

Hmm... an unlikely scenario for several reasons, but let's suppose it happens. Since I'm already late for the job interview, someone else is probably being interviewed right now. I'd probably call them that I'll be late, and if they don't agree to interview me later, it's their problem that they are losing a great opportunity to hire a skilled specialist like me
In the meantime I pick up my son, then I inform the school that I'll teach him myself in da house, since I don't really like the system of education in my country. IMHO schools should prioritize on inspiring passions and interests in children, so that they would love to learn by themselves. Also, schools should teach abilities such as speed reading (without subvocalization) and mnemonics BEFORE trying to force children to learn tons of information by heart, if at all. As long as the system of education is not improved, the only positive side of schools I can see is that you can meet a lot of interesting people and make friends there. Thus, I'm probably going to teach my children myself until they reach enough maturity to learn by themselves (and can return home after school by themselves). Of course there are things that I cannot teach since I don't know them myself, but in such a situation I'd find someone who can. I still need to find a good solution to the possible problem that my children might become too isolated, but I guess that shouldn't be too hard.

Anyway, based on my personal experience, you can teach computer programming to children as young as 7-8 years old, maybe even younger, if you manage to incite their interest in this topic. I remember writing my first programs in Pascal around that age, although I mostly played with the turbo pascal software using it to create ASCII art
The fact that the majority of teenagers/adults consider things such as programming, science, psychology and other stuff to be complex only proves how ineffective education is. IMHO. Now... the only complex problem is how to teach morals and ethics, since they are more important than other education... I guess I'll have to depend on my highly secret sensei-jutsu techniques to do so. I hope this works.

Oh, and by the way, I don't have children yet. Nor a wife. Nor a girlfriend. I'm probably a no-life programmer, nerd and geek who spends his entire life in front of a computer screen. And never seen a girl in real life.

j/k ... or maybe not?

It is one thing to know thyself.  It is another to know thy enemy.

What is Aether?

Personally I don't consider any element, nor any player, nor even other teams in events such as wars, as enemies. I don't like having enemies, so I don't treat anyone like an enemy. If we fight, it's for fun. If my opponents don't enjoy fighting with me then it is my own personal failure. Or something.
To be honest, Aether is one of the elements I'd try forming an alliance with, since there are so many Time - Aether synergies, but if the rules forbid this then I'm going to fight aether as equals. Why should we kill what is immortal? Why should they end what is eternal?
...
For fun of course Doing the impossible is always fun.
Thus, for me, Aether is a mate to fight for fun and to ally with for even more fun. I hope icybraker thinks the same about Time.

2. Which of these qualities should a Master NOT have and why?(Pls choose one from the list.)

1. Passion, since a master is there to improve his element, and this is impossible without a passionate approach.
2. Disrespectful towards others, since as long as he respects others, he will avoid harming them through other negative qualities you mentioned.

All the deckbuilding questions.

Arghh.... too much war... I died at least 2 times already, and I still need to design war decks?
*starts a "Make love not war" protest*
Against Pandebonium... maybe a fractal scarab deck could work. Momentum dragons is also an option. Anyway, reminding me of the deck that killed me is kinda cruel.

Discord graboids... I guess I could try to stall with sundials until I can start a phase shield chain (despite EQs and Discords) then play a few devonians (or fractal deja vu if at least 3 upped cards are allowed).

Dissipation BH deck... momentum+dune scorps+pharaohs or a darkness/time deck with a lot of steals and devourers + a nightfall, pharaohs to use the Time quanta. Stealing discords would be a priority.

Dune Scorpion deck... 6 Rewinds + Eternity to counter dunes. Water mark + a few purifys. Dragons as a winning condition (since water/time has no good way to counter those nasty sundials, RTs and procrastination )

[Kuroaitou]

What is Aether?

...Can we get some more original questions in here? ^^; I don't like the idea of answering this one...
...Aether defines the space we live in, and more important, the projection of the moment itself - Time measures the order of which events occur, while Aether measures the chaos (displacement of space/difference in vision) of how events occur. It's the essence of where our memories take place, universal knowledge (in contrast to personal knowledge, or memories), and the concept of transcending obstacles rather than persisting through them. Aether is a sister to Time, but both know how to work with (and against) each other when one becomes distorted (see General Relativity for example ).

What time is it Mr./Mrs. Wolf?

To be honest, a basic aether-time duo of any sort would ruin the 'Pandebonium' deck with ease, as the majority of the creatures would be either immaterial or durable enough (immortals and Anubis respectively) to ignore Pandemonium effects while preventing additional stacks of Bonewall. Phase Shield obviously counters Arsenic poison stacks; the deck in itself is a basic staple against any War team that might not pack PC against Time for one reason or another, and also has two decent attackers (although expensive) that can survive a majority of CC.

Code: [Select]

Against Discord Graboid, the new Solar Shield and Crusader cards can actually turn Discord against the other player, as you'll still be generating a decent amount of quanta (while hopefully ruining their ability to evolve Graboids and or play the cards they need). Rewinds are there to limit the amount of Scrambling going on or as quick CC, and the Blessed Dune Scorpions (if you get them out early enough) can hopefully wither them down over Time (pun intended ). Sundials and Miracles can also be game-breakers - I imagine that this deck would be a fun deck to play with against various other Teams, assuming you manage to copy the opponent's weapon for additional damage somehow... ^^;
