Thank you. Anyways, let's talk Crucible. Specifically, LFC. It seems to be that, if they aren't legacy cards made by forumgoers long farewell'd, people generally just submit their own cards, sometimes directly after posting it to the CIA itself. This is not necessarily a good thing, as far as quality control. Now that there's a fair amount of cards in Cygnia, is it possible that there could be some limitations towards submitting your own cards, or just cards as a whole to crucible? I know that it'd slow down the flow of cards coming in, but it'd increase the chance that people pick quality cards, rather than just throwing all the cards at the LFC thread that they can.
Hmm, well, perhaps this is why I'm TO and not CC :PThank you. Anyways, let's talk Crucible. Specifically, LFC.

Submitting your own cards into the system is entirely the point. The Crucible is and should be open, with a minimum entry requirement, with the Crucible and Forge polls as the quality control barring entry of poor ideas into Cygnia.
-snip-That would likely have been me. I don't think it's in Cygnia's interest for it to become overpowered with 1 or 2 flavours, so to speak, as it seems to take on a highly personal dimension and may reduce morale for other designers. Not to mention, especially when CCs submit card ideas, this may become a conflict of interest, as CCs have control over polls, moving card threads, etc.
This line here is unsettling to me. A CC's number one priority should be to move cards as they were voted. Perhaps I am interpreting this sentence wrong, but, if I am interpreting it correctly, I don't like it. There should be no bias when moving cards to and from boards, just as there is no bias in any other Staff position.-snip-Not to mention, especially when CCs submit card ideas, this may become a conflict of interest, as CCs have control over polls, moving card threads, etc.
Exactly, UTAlan. Responsible people are indeed chosen to be CCs, there is however potential for abuse, and due to being CC, there may be more vested interested in moving ideas along the system.
I think Hyroen agrees with you, but is just saying that there is potential for abuse. Hopefully the new app that I'm trying to finish up will reduce this risk.Which is precisely where my issue lies. If a CC themselves is bringing up the topic of abuse, where a CC would be the abuser.. it just rubs me the wrong way. I'm not accusing anyone, just a bit rattled by the subject matter and the person bringing it up.
Please post any questions or comments about the CIA here!Tell me about Bane. Why does he wear the mask?
The Cia seems to add up quickly. Only after 8 months the armory got 4 pages and over 100 cards . We need to come up with a way to solve this problem cause if Zanz would come back it's better to have a top 30 than top 200 etc. I recommend you to add another level to the Cia and start adding cards there!
I also think you should take some of the archieved cards from the armory and give them a second chance to go to the next level.

The speed will be taken care of by reducing amount of LCC cards accepted at a time (when the CIA is back in business of course).K that's good And IIRC, Higu is against adding another level simply because of forum space.Forum space? it would just be 1 more thing. And even if the speed is slowing down I think that the highest level shouldn't have more than 50 cards at a time. like 4 from each element.
As far as archived cards, they do have a chance. If you notice any of the cards in the system that have a Legacy tag on them, they are ones that have been resubmitted to the LCC.K Good!
If we're concerned about forum space, maybe posts in the CI&A board that have been around for more than X months without being moved upwards to Crucible (and contain the "|" symbol in the title) should be permanently deleted?

Advertising LCC (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/card-ideas-and-art/link-crucible-candidates-here!/) more should be prioritized. There's currently 2 posts in there, and the last one was made November 16th, 2015.
EDIT: Also, where did the Quickdraw thread go? There were tons of ideas in there, ripe to be posted, and I can't seem to find it.

At the moment, the CIA is at a pause due to the staffing issue (right now, of the five CCs, only two have extensive experience using the current system and they are currently inactive; another one is mainly a programmer for Cygnia; the other two are - as of right now - new to this system). IIRC though, I think UTA is making a program to automatically work the levels system, which should lower the workload by a lot. But yes, once it starts, promoting LCC would be nice. Then again, a current goal is to slow the stream of cards making it into the Armory, but that's beside the point.
Quickdraw (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/exhibition-hall/guess-my-card-a-quickdraw-design-game/) is currently in the Exhibition Hall.

But yes, once it starts, promoting LCC would be niceAdvertising is nice. Should be done more often. I know that people, myself included, tend to be forgetful, and if you don't regularly post in CIA, LCC can be forgotten. I, as a Tournament Organizer is, know how vital it is to advertise tourneys in Chat. I think it's improved the numbers per tourney, as did the reward changes, but that's not about CIA.

...Thank you for the bump. I didn't want to bump more than 1 thread.
Doublepost: My card, Dreadsteed, was promoted from Crucible to Forge, yet isn't in then Forge creatures poll. Why is this?Thanks for the catch. Neither Dreadsteed nor Clockworker had been included. This has been fixed.
