As can be seen in Steal My Idea! (
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,7205.0.html), from the beginning, this thread was about giving more time to all the concerned when giving and receiving ideas. However, now that the thread is full of ideas which are both used and unused, and we cannot know exactly whether the players really want and agree with the cards' possibility or not, I'd like to recommend the following solution:
Facebook (http://www.facebook.com) (FB).
Reasons to choose:
1/
Like function: as you can't vote for an idea just like in a poll in a thread,
Liking a wall post in FB proves to be social and collective. Ideas will be posted as separated wall posts and people come to the page and Like them. The number of Likers is showed and updated automatically.
2/
Comment function: different from randomness of comments' position in a thread, this helps group the comments because the ideas have been grouped in the first place. Therefore, when looking for ideas, receivers can know exactly what people want (both old and new ideas in one place!), and if s/he decides to take an idea, s/he can ask for feedback, too.
3/ There's a present growing community of Facebook users currently connecting to Elements' wall on FB! Here's the link:

Please post your thoughts below. Cheer!
