Potential Event?: Expanded Elements the Game

[ZephyrPhantom]

How can we do this without Bias? I know I would like some of my ideas submitted, but what about those that have left the forums. There are a lot of good ideas that have fallen to the system. How do we decide what is worthy?

All ideas will eventually be filtered through the resulting playtests, so I don't think bias will have that big an impact.

Delving into the archives may take too much time for most users. I suggest looking at topics like Portfolios and Recent Poll Winners to help filter for quality cards.

We will vote on which card ideas to include. I recommend people make unbiased suggestions so they are not attached to the cards.

just pick the best card ideas, best is subjective.  i used a few checks such as- do i *really* like this card? can i imagine this card, as is, being in the game? is it reasonably balanced?  is it truly novel? is it worded clearly enough to use, and similarly worded to existing card text?

poke x2. zanz is back and adding new cards, in case people missed that.

Perhaps we should put the names of Ideas/Designers into a  pool and randomly select something to evaluate.

I needed a minimum number of participants. I am grateful for those that have had the decency to post their lists after saying yes in the poll. I am disappointed in the remainder.
We need more people. Should we move to Design Theory?

I say we just start in the Armory. We should start with Creatures then Permanents then Spells.
After that we go though the Active Ideas in the Forge same order as Armory. We'll come back to the Archives.
Then run through each crucible. Then Forge Archive > Crucible Archive > Submission list Finally look through smithy for ideas that should have been submitted or need a little tweaking.

I'll offer my Portfolio up for people who are interested in looking for card ideas to use.

I noticed a volunteer thread has been posted. Early volunteers are helpful, however we will also need to create a 'card pool' of what ideas are worth testing.
