As many of you know, this is a subject I am quite fond of. I share similar views with many of you and some will differ. Given I am The Seeker of The Void I figure I should at least leave some input on this.
To me the void is both tangible yet intangible. It is what the beginning and the end will and are. Some will claim that the void is associated with darkness, like a great blackness that just engulfs all things. While this may not be wrong, I see it more in line with a great whiteness(the potential for all colors). When you break things down into very basic ideas, there are two colour pathways. On one path you can see that black pigment is an amalgamation of all the colors while absorbing everything, and you have white which is the absence of color. Then on the other path you have the opposite. You can see that white light is an amalgamation of all the colors while absorbing everything, and you have black which is the absence of color. Statements such as 'white is the absence of color' is both true and false but it comes down to our perspective, knowledge, and how we attempt to perceive that which is supposedly imperceivable. To me the void is limitless but also finite at the same time, such as the infinity sign, each side has limited space but still continues on forever. It is all that we cannot comprehend. Thus when we attempt to understand or quantify it, our perceptions are tainted by that which we cannot possibly understand. Our minds simply are not equipped for it. 
A small example now:

Imagine a giant circle. That circle is then surrounded by numerous other smaller circles. Let us call the giant circle MD(Magicduel), and the smaller ones the players. Each smaller circle has a line connecting itself to the larger one, connected to other lines and smaller circles within, which we can call our avatars. The space outside these circles can be called the void. Eventually over time these circles erode and crack, and through these cracks we catch glimpses of the void, but our minds cannot understand this. These cracks show up in many ways, one of the most common is with mental illness, that is my Taint. They become tainted by something they cannot understand. So we begin to fill the gaps that we cannot comprehend with information, and things we know from our own realties. These can be called numerous things from hallucinations to visions, or even that sense of deju vu(ghosts, demons or even aliens). Our minds know something is not as it should be, thus they replace these glimpses of the void which we will never comprehend, with what we have of our own memories.
I can go on about ideas and thoughts on the void but for now this will have to suffice. Feel free to come speak with me on this or other topics...

Something that is undefined and doesn't have constraints on it to tell it what it is and what it is not; the other side on the coin of infinity. Infinity is endless defined 'something,' while void is infinite unspecified potential, but isn't something yet. The more information something (an event, an object, ect.) has, the closer it gets to infinity, and the closer it gets to none, to closer to void it gets. Things in our lives don't reach either end, with the more 'void' something has, or lack of boundaries, the more potentials or uncertainties it has; and observing something locks things down and makes it further from void. 
(This was a ramble of ideas on the spot so it isn't super coherent or reasonable or really well thought out: apologies.)

I wrote a limerick inspired by recent events, and as they're practically Medieval memes I'll post it here. (fight me :p)
 
 

A genuine thank you for showing up everyone! This event would have been nothing without you all there being... lively as you are all wont to do.
Here is a log courtesy of the Chewman, it is an exquisite read...

@Demonic God
 

Well, last one, I got more ideas, just not that good xD

Well, Clair and Granos wanted more... soo

Whoops, missing some details xD

Today is a little different and a more sombre affair with us remembering those friends who have passed through MD. The joy we shared with them while they were here will never be forgotten. You are invited to write something about a player who is not with us to remember them.
 
Either someone who temporarily not with us, or more permanently, you are welcome to share a memory or even just their name today, we wish them all well.
 
MagicDuel is nothing without the players, and we have enjoyed meeting each and every one of you.
