What's your favourite element?

[Nex Power Speed]

Light, Darkness, Water, Nature and Chaos (The primary Element, no the evil)

 

[Rui]

Time is not exacly an element. It can be considered "a force". But it's ok.

Too much Starwars for you.

Time ain't "a Force" nor element, it's just plain stress maker and it's...
the holy thing which lets you know when your fav TV show is about to start

[Menelvalar]

Out of the main elements (Earth, Fire, Water, Wind/Air) I would probably go with fire, cause it's the coolest and you can make meals on the go.

Out of the other ones, I would go with Light.

 

[Pyritie]

Favorite element?

This is not like that magic the gathering test thingy, this is just a little question. Which one is your favorite?

 

[Landy]

Water absolutely rox. forever and ever
Water is element that gives life to everything, without water another elements are nothing



Isnt it absolutely kawai?

 

[frostwhisper]

Air, because it channels lightning and there is nothing cooler than lightning.

 

[Hakeem]

Water and air. Fire only burns, earth has minerals.

 

[HappyTauren]

Fire, without it I couldn't fetch myself a coffee.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

Aether, the fifth element.

 

[boggy]

Fire. Without the sun we wouldn't exist. All of them are immportant in their uniqe way

 

[GST_Nemisis]

did we have this pole earlier but with more choice?

anyways, fire. because as much as i like having water fights, burning things is more fun and what has air done for me recently? not much, just blow my hair out of place. the less said about earth the better.

 

[Technomancer]

Fire and air, because without air, we could not have fire. And without fire, I couldn't cremate my victims >

 

[donut3.5]

You can't look at the practicality of them to determine your decision... They're all equally practical.
Earth gives us the ground we walk upon, without it we would die.
Air gives us the ability to breathe, without it we would die.
Water gives all things the ability to live, without it we would die.
Fire gives us light from the sun, without it we would die.
^means I can't choose

[Hakeem]

Screw function, water is coolest.

 

[DarkDenizen]

Burn mother f*cker let the mother f*cker burn, burn mother f*cker, burn...

 

[Shados]

Shadow, wind, lightning and ice.


-*meow*

 

[Pyritie]

did we have this pole earlier but with more choice?

Yeah, but it had like 12 or so choices. This one is only about the basic 4.

 

[Darth_Muppet]

Earth is my fav!

 

[brad.dude03]

Ice or Frost is definetly my favourite, but since neither of those are available, I'll take Water, without which, ice would never be possible.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

Ice is water. Just solid water.

--donut3.5--

No, really? Elements were meant to be the fundamentals that created the patterns of nature. Also, nuclear fusion gives us light from the sun, not fire.

 

[Moontraveler]

You forgot the 5th element lightning and that is my favorite element....

 

[Elenai]

Hmmmz. The old scholars actually came close to cracking the mysteries of what our universe was made of, with what they had:

Fire=Energy
Earth=solid
Water=Liquid
Air=Gas

The base laws of matter that it is made of molecules in one of these base forms.

It kinda boggles the mind when you think of it that way...what the ancient ones knew.

Of course listening to this ===> http://www.radioblogclub.com/open/1...rere mei, Deus (Choir of New College, Oxford) puts me in a philisophical and mellow mood

 

[Hakeem]

They were trying to understand the elements that made up the universe. Those are just the names they used.

Moontraveler, lightning is another form of elemental fire, and for that matter, so is nuclear fusion.

 

[brad.dude03]

Yes, other fantasy things may have created offshoot elements, but the REAL elements were 4. And it is clever how they managed to categorize our universe before they even understood it.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

In New Zealand, the fifth element was wood! I prefer western elements, though. So the fifth element, to me, is aether =P.

 

[brad.dude03]

Odd, how exactly is wood an element again?

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

Ask a Maori person. As if I would know.

 

[robot-dude]

I choose Fire as The Fire In my soul that keeps me a life (Sadly)

 

[Pyritie]

In New Zealand, the fifth element was wood! I prefer western elements, though. So the fifth element, to me, is aether =P.

China has wood as an element too, along with metal. They don't have earth though.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Even though I made all four elementals (Ok 5 including wood/aether) All of them are my favorites! Boring spamming story: It looked a bit dark there, so I made a star called a ''Sun.'' Since I thought it looked a bit weird that humans and other animals, insects etc went randomly floating through space in MySpace/Universe I thought to make some substance called ''earth'' to have feet on their ground. But third problem: They looked a bit you know... Dead. So I did some hocus pocus with my cool (but lost it though) Magical Purple Hippowand (a FLYING one) to make some air for them to breath in and live with it. But then I noticed that on Earth II (I gambled once a few billion years ago with some other colleges of mine 'next' door and lost Earth I in a bet)
that it looked a bit green you know and green isn't my favorite colour you know.
So I took a pee somewhere and I think a crushes a few settlements like uhm... Atlanis what was it called again? So it looked erh yellow and green with some nice white stuff on it what's called ''clouds.'' But I don't yellow either so I made my pee into blue! And it looked much much better. Oh and I got - sorry had - one son and a wife. Yes, he still didn't got back from the supermarket! I told him to get some milk! What? WHAT?! DID HE GOT CRUSSIFIED?! Oh well, it's a fast way to come here. Oh hey son, thanks for the (late) milk. Son.... Were you on weed again? (Conversation fades slowly away.)

 

[GST_Nemisis]

Odd, how exactly is wood an element again?

when it burns the fire is fire (duh), the moisture that comes out of the wood is the water, the smoke is the air and the charcoal is the earth.

You realise how unfunny you are, right?

 

[DesKaladA]

Flesh is the 5 element
(Do the Tes4Se main quest)
but i like water better
or o4li2
explosive water
(dont drop your glass)

 

[GST_Nemisis]

o4li2
explosive water
(dont drop your glass)

geif nitroglycerine?

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

They have earth. It's water, metal, earth, wood, and fire. No wind.

 

[Pyritie]

They have earth. It's water, metal, earth, wood, and fire. No wind.

Oh. My bad.

 

[DesKaladA]

no its a theretical mouical

 

[Dr00d]

I'm a pilot... so I gotta go with air.

 

[Pyritie]

Earth seems less popular than the rest, which are all pretty much tied.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

Western elements are as follows: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, (A)ether
In Wicca, Aether is replaced with Spirit.
Traditional Eastern elements are as follows: Fire, Water, Earth, Wood, Metal.
If I remember correctly, Japanese elements are the same as Western, although replacing Aether with Void (Nothingness).

 

[Hakeem]

Nothingness isn't an element, it doesn't make anything.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

I did a poor job of describing it, but I'm still pretty sure that Void is a Japanese element.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

the japanese have 6 elements, i believe.

 

[Pyritie]

Traditional Eastern elements are as follows: Fire, Water, Earth, Wood, Metal.

When you say "Eastern", does that mean eastern Asia or Europe? Because in Europe it's just the four on the poll.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

It's Chinese.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

Globally speaking, "Western" = US, European; "Eastern" = Asian, Southeast Asian, etc. (excluding Russia)

 

[Kalvorod]

To make things clear

There are several systems of elements.

Greek:
Fire/Water/Air/Earth (Aether if you're retarded) Aether was just tacked on to the system by Plato because of Platonic Solids. It is based on direct opposites for balance.
(Fire=tetrahedron, Earth=Cube, water=icosahedron, air=octahedron)
The final element Aether was meant to fill the extra spot, the Dodecahedron, for which Plato didn't really know what to do with, so he said obscurely that it makes up the heavens.

Buddhist: Replace the Greek Aether with Void.

Chinese: Wood-> Fire-> Earth-> Metal-> Water
Each element creates the next, and destroys the element 2 infront of it:
(Fire creates earth and destroys metal. Water creates wood, and destroys fire, etc.)
It is based on asymmetric balance.

In terms of games, any fundamental substance or energy is an "element", so Light, Dark, Wood, Fire, Water, Ice, Wind, Shadow, etc etc etc can all be thought of as Elements.

The Japanese do not have 6 elements, their traditional elements are the Chinese elements.

That said, my favorite element would have to be Metal, because it represents wealth and man-made power, as opposed to many of the other elements which represent the power of nature.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have ourselves a winner. Although, I'm not quite sure anybody ever mentioned the Japanese having 6 elements.
