C3V Goals and Rules
C3V GOALS
1) To continue the creation of Heroscape by creating new custom designs that are 100% compatible with each other and all of the official Heroscape License.
2) For each custom design to accurately reflect the official Heroscape game aesthetic.
3) To have each Custom Design be collaboratively created by our C3V members by allowing each design to be worked on by each group within the C3V, while encouraging support, good ideas, and productive effort from the entire Heroscapers.com community.
4) Maintain the position of several core members who are enthusiastic, well respected, and active Heroscapers.com members.
C3V VOTING RULES
It should be clear that Sanctum Members may only post comments in their own sub-forum/sub-group's section and the General Section. There are only two exceptions to this: the ERB members are allowed to comment in any section at any time - they are the watch dogs and visionaries of the group, and any member may comment in any group's "Drop Box" thread.
1) For any decision to be made by a sub-group, a Proposition must be submitted by a member of that sub-group in that sub-group's own Voting Thread or directly in an open design thread. sub-groups can only make decisions about the design as it pertains to the responsibilities of that sub-group. Only Administrators and Moderators are allowed to make propositions in the C3V General Voting Hall (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=33396), those propositions can be to make changes to the C3V Rules and/or practices, however, every Sanctum Member is allowed to vote there.
There are 5 groups with each group having a Voting thread.
- Designers (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=33395)
- E.R.B. (Executive Review Board) (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=33394)
- Editors (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=33393)
- Artists (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=33392)
- Playtesters (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=33391)
2) Each Proposition will have 2 days to achieve a majority vote. A Proposition by a sub-group will stay active for 2 days or until all voting members from that sub-group have voted, then the proposition will be closed. Once a proposition is closed, the votes will be tallied. A vote consists of a C3V voting member posting yes or no in their sub-group's Voting Thread or directly in an open design thread. If you do not vote, your vote will not be counted (obviously).
3) If there is a split decision on a Proposition, then a poll will be made to the public concerning the split decision. The Poll by a sub-group will stay active for 2 days, then the Poll will be closed. Once a Poll is closed, the votes will be tallied and the majority will win.
C3V SUB-GROUP'S GUIDE
DESIGNERS) It is the Designer's job to continually discuss and create new additions to the game of Heroscape.
- The Designers will first discuss what they want to design, then find a miniature(s) that they want to use for the design.
- When the Designers have an idea of something they want to work on, they will agree on who the Lead Designer (LD) will be.
- The LD will start a thread in the C3V Designers Corner (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=77) using this Design Template (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showpost.php?p=1255055&postcount=2) as the first post and the title of the thread must say "Design" so that all other sub-groups know not to comment in that thread. The LD will post his/her name on the first post in the design thread.
- The Designer's sub-group will continue to discuss and work on the overall design of the work in progress in its newly created thread.
- Once the Designers have the design to a point that they would like to see it move forward, the Designers must change the design's title to say "Sanctum Review" and alert the C3V Sanctum Members by having a Moderator or Administrator move the design thread into the C3V Inner Sanctum (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=76). There, all C3V Sanctum Members will have 48 hours to discuss the design and give any ideas or suggestions for the design.
- When the 48 hours are over, the Designers must change the design's title to say "E.R.B" and alert them that the design is now their responsibility by having a Moderator or Administrator move it into the C3V Executive Review Board (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=78).
- If at any point any sub-group sends a design back to the Designers with a fail, it is the Designer's job to either scrap the design, or attempt to adjust it and send it back to the group that failed it.
E.R.B.) It is the E.R.B.'s job to review each design and discuss the big picture and direct the group in a way that fits the Heroscape aesthetic giving C3V a long term vision and big picture. E.R.B. can comment in any C3V thread at any time, as they are the watch dogs of the group's direction and long term vision.
- Once the Designers have sent the design to the E.R.B.'s sub-group, the E.R.B. will discuss whether or not the design fits the big picture of C3V.
- After discussing the design in its entirety, the E.R.B. will decide to pass or fail the design. If it Passes, the E.R.B. will change its title to say "Editing" and alert the Editing Team that the design is now their responsibility by having a Moderator or Administrator move it into the C3V Editing Room. (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=81) If it Fails, the E.R.B. will change is title to say "Design" and alert them that the design is now their responsibility by having a Moderator or Administrator move it into the C3V Designers Corner (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=77) and inform them why it has failed.
- After a design has passed Finalization, the E.R.B. will place the design in the On Deck Thread (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=33403) with a "Books of" title until it is released.
- The E.R.B will decide when and how to release designs that are in the On Deck Thread (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=33403). And once a design is released, the E.R.B. will move the design's book to the public C3V Books Of Index (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=33402).
EDITORS) It is the Editors' job to review the grammar and textual aesthetics of the card and correct the text if necessary.
- Once the E.R.B. have sent the design to the C3V Editing Room, the Editors will discuss any potential wording changes that may need to be made.
- When the Editors have agreed on any wording changes that may need to be made, they will alert the Lead Designer and the Lead Playtester listed on the front page, of their intended changes to ensure that the new wording will not contradict the intention or how it was played.
- As soon as both the Lead Designer and the Lead Playtester have agreed that the new wording supports the original intention and application, the Editors can decide whether or not to pass the wording of the design.
- Once the Editors agree on the wording of the design, the Editors will change the name of the design's title to say "Playtesting" and then alert them that the design is now their responsibility by having a Moderator or Administrator move it into the C3V Playtester Corner. (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=80)
PLAYTESTERS) It is the Playtesters' job to playtest each design sent to them by the C3V Editing Team.
- Once the design has been sent to the Playtesters, any of them are free to run as many playtests as they'd like using the design. The Playtesting team as a whole is responsible for discussing the design, the results of the playtests and what those results may or may not suggest. Once the Playtesting Team feels they have reached a general consensus, they must vote to pass or fail the design. If it Fails, it is renamed "Design" and returned to the Designer's Corner. (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=77) If it Passes, the Playtesters must choose a single Lead Playtester (LP) to be responsible for the design. The chosen LP will remain the LP for the remainder of the design's full production by linking his/her name on the front page of the design.
- The LP will change the name of the design's title to say "Public Testing" and then alert the Public Testing Thread (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?p=1255200&posted=1#post1255200) of the name of the design and that it is open for Testing. Then the Public Playtesters can sign up and PM the Lead Playtester for the necessary information and PM him/her with the results by filling out this Public Playtesting Sheet (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showpost.php?p=1255200&postcount=2).
- The LP will post each public playtest in the private Design thread, and link each public playtest on the front page.
-Once the Lead Playtester is satisfied with the results of the Public Playtests, he may then propose to the rest of the Playtesters that the design move to the Art Department. If the proposal Passes, the E.R.B. will change its title to say "Art" and alert the Art Department that the design is now their responsibility by moving it to the C3V Art Department. (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=82). If the proposal Fails, the Playtesting Team will alert the Design Team and inform them that the design is now their responsibility by having a Moderator or Administrator move it into the C3V Designers Corner (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=77).
ARTISTS) It is the Artists' job to create a finished downloadable/printable product of the design.
- Once the Playtesters have sent the design to the Artists' sub-group, the Artists must choose a single Lead Artist (LA) to be responsible for the design. The chosen LA will remain the LA for the remainder of the design's full production.
- The LA will be responsible for acquiring a high resolution picture of the selected miniature(s), unless at this point in time, a picture or pictures have already been posted.
- If the miniature(s) have been modified in any way (paint, glue, molding, etc), then it is the LA's responsibility to acquire a tutorial on how to create the featured miniature.
- The Artists will discuss which picture to use and any detail that is relevant to the design.
- Once the Artists have agreed on how the design should be done, the LA will create the final product.
- The Artists will review the product and decide whether or not any changes are necessary.
- Once the Artists have agreed on the final product, a PDF will be made.
- Then the Artists will compare that PDF to the JPG design to ensure that nothing was lost.
- When the Artists decide that the work is done, the Artists will post the JPG of the design in the first post along with a link of the PDF and then change the name of the title of the design's thread to say "Finalize", and the LA will post a proposal to finalize the design in the Final Voting Thread (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=33441). There, every C3V Member can vote.
C3V PUBLIC ACCESS
This program will grant 2 members of the public temporary access to the C3V Inner Sanctum for 2 months each. Access will be staggered, so that one member enters each month.
- Within the first 3 days of each month a public poll will take place in the C3V public section. That poll will consist of a list of names chosen by the Inner Sanctum.
- To be chosen for the list you should be active in the C3V or SoV, such as in playtesting and/or offering suggestions and input.
- The poll will close in 48 hours.
- The Scaper with the most votes wins. Ties will be split by a decision made by the Inner Sanctum.
- That winner will then be allowed to choose which sub-group they would like to temporarily join as a Guest Member: The Design Team, The Editors, The Fiction Writers, or The Art Department.
- The winner will be temporarily invited into the Sanctum (given full access) and added to the sub-group of his/her choosing, granting them all of the abilities of any member within that group.
- Each project that a Guest Member works on will be given an Understudy in the situation that the project is not finished by the time that Guest Member's 2 months are up. Any Understudy will be a Permanent C3V Member on the appropriate Team. If the Guest member was working on a design, they will be informed of any changes made/proposed for that design as it completes the C3V process.
- Nearing the end of each month, the Inner Sanctum will create a list of names for the next public poll, beginning with suggestions from the current Guest Members. Each member in the C3V (including the Guest Members) is allowed to vote on/suggest names for the list.
- While the list for the next Guest Member is being created, the public will be informed of who is in consideration. Anyone in consideration should state if they are interested or not before the opening of the poll. Anyone in consideration who does not state that they are interested will not be included in the poll.
- On the last day of the month following their admittance into the Sanctum, that Guest Member will be removed from the Sanctum.
- Each person who becomes a Guest Member must wait four months after they leave the Inner Sanctum before they can be a Guest Member again.

OK, it is 6am on the east coast, and I am now just about to go to sleep.... but before I do, I wanted to share a little bit with the public about what I have been working so hard on. I have been staying up with Bats, Gbob, and GreyOwl each night working extremely hard to get the Inner Sanctum and the C3V public section set up, along with the questionnaire (that was supposed to go out tonight, sorry, maybe tomorrow, again, sorry), Goals for the group (our mission/vision), the blasted rules, etc, etc, etc, But what I have been working extremely hard on tonight was what I am calling the PUBLIC ACCESS PROGRAM. This is a program that we have been fleshing out since day one of the "Is C3V the Future" thread. It wasn't easy to do this, but it is finally hashed out, agreed upon, and written up. Now, with all the hard work that went into this one aspect of what has already been done, I hope that it is met with appreciation, because this is the system folks, and it is as good as it is gonna get.

C3V PUBLIC ACCESS
This program will grant 2 members of the public temporary access to the C3V Inner Sanctum each and every month.
- On the first Sunday of each month a public poll will take place in the C3V public section. That poll will consist of a list of names chosen by the Inner Sanctum.
- The poll will close in 48 hours.
- The two names with the most votes wins. Ties will be split by a decision made by the Inner Sanctum.
- Those two winners will then be allowed to choose which sub-group they would like to temporarily join; The Design Team, The Lead Playtesters, The Executive Review Board, The Editors, or The Art Department.
- The two winners will be temporarily invited into the Sanctum and allowed to join the sub-group of his/her choosing granting them all of the abilities of any member within that group.
- On the last day of that same month, those two members will be required to create a new list of names for the next contestants and the the two will be removed from the sanctum.

First, I just want you to know that I think you guys are doing a fantastic job and I appreciate your efforts.
Now that I've got you buttered up, I have a question about the service time for the PAP
- On the first Sunday of each month a public poll will take place in the C3V public section. That poll will consist of a list of names chosen by the Inner Sanctum.
- The poll will close in 48 hours.
- On the last day of that same month, those two members will be required to create a new list of names for the next contestants and the the two will be removed from the sanctum.
So they start 2 days after the first Sunday of the month, I've got that, but I'm a little confused about when their term ends. Do they submit names the last day of the month, then serve until the new PAP members are elected, or do the just serve until the last day of the month?

On the last day of the month, the two are pulled out, and by that time, they will have put together a list of names for the next poll. Then, the poll goes up on the first Sunday.

We've selected "reps" for each department other than the Art Department (negotiations are ongoing). Once we finalize each of our "reps," I'll be posting the promised questionnaire, and you'll be asked to respond to the reps of the top two departments you're interested in joining with your qualifications and reasons for wanting to join.
Here's the following list of "reps," as well as the department designations for our "founding fathers" (and GBob has a slot guaranteed as well.)

EXECUTIVE REVIEW BOARD) It is the E.R.B.'s job to review each design and discuss the big picture and direct the group in a way that fits the Classic Heroscape aesthetic giving C3V a long term vision and big picture. E.R.B. can comment in any C3V thread at any time, as they are the watch dogs of the group's direction and long term vision.
LEAD PLAYTESTERS) It is the Lead Playtesters' job to do the initial playtest on each design sent to them by the Designer's sub-group.
EDITORS) It is the Editors' job to review the grammar and textual aesthetics of the card and correct the text if necessary.
ARTISTS) It is the Artists' job to create a finished downloadable/printable product of the design.

Can you help me understand this whole "Inner Sanctum" and "Secret Design Threads?" Why do you feel it necessary to hide the inner-happenings of the designing, if this is intended as a community project? What is wrong with making the forums available to ALL, but only post-able by a few?

Because there will still be PM's & random inflamatory comments in other threads about this or that decision made. Also if everybody sees the unit being made there is no cause to celebrate it when it's released. A bit like the public designs of the C3G, no splash when any of them are released. :(

Because there will still be PM's & random inflamatory comments in other threads about this or that decision made. Also if everybody sees the unit being made there is no cause to celebrate it when it's released. A bit like the public designs of the C3G, no splash when any of them are released. :(
Cheers
To prevent inflammatory comments, a "design discussion thread" could be run alongside it.
To retain the "celebration" factor, perhaps you could reveal them when you're partially done (say, 3/4)? Even if revealed just a week before voting for inclusion, you'll be able to see the community's input which could influence your decisions.
Founders, take all the time you need. The longer you take, the more likely you'll have a better system.
I am not trying to rehash the same discussion. I am presenting my ideas. (which were never mentioned in the other thread)

Not to be rude, but wouldn't it be more intriguing to see how all this inside workings work? The other threads can be ignored, the PM deleted. Plus, to get a more well-rounded unit, shouldn't ideas be able to come from anyone, not just a select few?

I don't know if this will do anything, but, we just had this long drawn out discussion in the first thread about C3V.
Please, please let's not rehash it here.
The C3V guys have done a great job and have worked hard on a plan to include us; let's not browbeat them again. I know that is probably not the intention of anyone but I am starting to feel sorry for the C3V guys. They put in long hours and then get told that their work basically wasn't worth the time because it is not how others think it should be.
This is a customs project, no rule says they even had to include anyone other than themselves but they have gone out of their way to include us.
Let this thread be a joy to come to and read about the most recent developments instead of what the other thread became.

This is a organized group who have gone out of their way to recruit actual people who worked on the last few waves and have begun a great project to continue our game.

Not only have they opened this up to the public, but they are taking members of this community and are also oping it up to random members each month. More than you deserve.

The choosing process will be done by the 2 public members just before they leave. They will have to choose 10 names (I think 10 is the maximum entries for a poll) to be placed in the poll. Then the public will decide the next two that go into the sanctum by voting.

:word: Well put ZBrox. I think this is the mentality that most people have, since this is a community group, anyone should have access. Well not everyone gets equal access. This is to preserve the quality of the designs. If you want to be involved: earn your keep! Make the group value you input and assistance.
This is a better chance at being involved than we ever had with Hasbro/WotC, how many of you had the chance to earn your way into designing units. Heck most of us couldn't even playtest the units. The C3V is being very open and all every does is complain that we are being too exclusive. If you want to slap some customs together just to get some praise, then start your own thread.

Not to mention, WotC and Hasbro were 1) selling their products and 2) selling them to more than just HSers.com. The C3V is creating customs for HSers.com, but will not let HSers be included?
The arguments you make are valid when in perspective of a corperation, but this is a custom project, based from the community, for the community, and if you're claiming to be the future of this community, has no right leaving the community out of involvement.
That said, there isn't really any reason to complain, because if I don't like your project, I just don't use your customs. Simple as that.

:oops: Sorry I missed this post. It fills in a big chunk of questions I had, and I merely skipped over it. Wouldn't it be more prudent for some hard-core members, not part of the play-test group be able to see, even a little bit, before it is released, for some... beta testing?
Kaiyu has a valid point however, if others don't like it, they/we don't have to use it. I will apologize for my incesent questions, and what probably seems like inane pestering. I am just uninformed on the ways of the C3G.

Honestly, I think you're going a little overboard here. I mean, when the game was being officially produced, Hasbro/WotC created figures for HSers.com (and also others). It was based from the community (the lead designers and playtesters are well-respected members here), for the community (many hints and previews were dropped here, not available elsewhere), it was the future of this community, and yet this community was completely left out of involvement. Oh, and they charged you money for all their time and effort.
So we're doing the same, but 1) for FREE, 2) more open so you can see the rules and processes, 3) we let you suggest ideas, 4) we let anyone playtest, and we 5) even take two members (selected by the community) into whatever team they want for a month to participate, including voting privileges.
And for the record, we never claimed to be the future. What we did was ask if that's what people wanted, and the community overwhelmingly supported the idea.

I have never used this smilie before because it seems rude but...
:roll:
Your post is erroneous in its statements. These guys asked the community if C3V was the future; they didn't claim it was.
Also it would be ridiculous to assume they wouldn't be the inner sanctum of the project they started. They have the right to it, others don't.
People can't complain that there is no community involvement because there is. When people complain it is because they can't be involved as much as they think they have the right to be- that is called entitlement.

So the general community will not be able to make more detailed suggestions. For example, The C3V decides to make Skeletons, and takes them to the private forums. Someone there will say "How about we give them regeneration?" And everyone agrees. The community will have no say in which form of regeneration that is. This is why I am suggesting a short period of time for the community to view the custom before it's final approval, and make suggestions for it one final time.
This doesn't seem to be the correct place for this discussion - Could we perhaps move it to a different thread? (The "Design team" doesn't really have the power to change according to the suggestions I'm making)

The thing about your last suggestion is that at the end, it is way too late to make any changes. It would invalidate all the playtesting that had been done, for one. But at the beginning, you can post any idea you have - including power ideas, figure ideas, synergy, mini choices, or anything else.

Grey Owl I do have a question.
Hopefully it may clear things up. Will the inner sanctum publicly say we are working on insert unit ?
For instance, will the inner sanctum list units that will go through the process like:
We will be working on:
Skeleton squad
Lizardfolk Hero
Raptorian Hero

Do you have any suggestions?
Or will the design crew sift through our posted suggestions for things that they would like to try and determine how to proceed from there?
I am a little confused on how things will progress from the suggestion thread.

Not to be rude, but wouldn't it be more intriguing to see how all this inside workings work? The other threads can be ignored, the PM deleted. Plus, to get a more well-rounded unit, shouldn't ideas be able to come from anyone, not just a select few?
You can see how the inner working happen when a unit gets released. The Mods move the whole thread to the public area.
:oops: Sorry I missed this post. It fills in a big chunk of questions I had, and I merely skipped over it. Wouldn't it be more prudent for some hard-core members, not part of the play-test group be able to see, even a little bit, before it is released, for some... beta testing?
Kaiyu has a valid point however, if others don't like it, they/we don't have to use it. I will apologize for my incesent questions, and what probably seems like inane pestering. I am just uninformed on the ways of the C3G.
The previous two members nominate the next 10 nominees (not themselves). The public then votes on those 10.
The thing about your last suggestion is that at the end, it is way too late to make any changes. It would invalidate all the playtesting that had been done, for one. But at the beginning, you can post any idea you have - including power ideas, figure ideas, synergy, mini choices, or anything else.
Grey Owl I do have a question.
Hopefully it may clear things up. Will the inner sanctum publicly say we are working on insert unit ?
For instance, will the inner sanctum list units that will go through the process like:
We will be working on:
Skeleton squad
Lizardfolk Hero
Raptorian Hero
Ranged Viper Squad

The design team will work on what they decide to work on when they decide to without directly informing or consulting the public. They'll take public suggestions and ideas seriously though, and glean what they want from them.
It's important to know, when posting ideas in the Brainstorming thread, that those ideas are no longer "your ideas" at that point, they're C3V ideas.

You people are acting far too highstrung and dramatic for my taste. How about we try to remember why you guys are doing this. To play Heroscape. And why do you play Heroscape? To have fun. Because of all the needless tension and flaring tempers, you're turning something intended for fun into a bloodbath. I'm shocked by the behavior of the people involved in this C3V project so far. Go for a walk. Spend time with your family. I really don't think Heroscape is something worth this much stress in your life.

I have a question about the Public Access plan. If a person chooses to join the Design Team, they get all the rights of that group, they are allowed to design a unit correct? What happens if their design takes longer than a month to complete?
GreyOwl
November 11th, 2010, 12:22 PM
Someone else picks it up. But honestly, if you come in with a solid plan, the design shouldn't take that long. Remember it's not the whole process like in C3G, this is only the design phase.

And it should be clear, that there will be NO "my design" in C3V. This is a joint project with lots of people in the community touching each design and shaping it into what it is. So, if there is a great custom, we can all be proud of it. And if there is a poor design, well then we all have to share the embarrassment of that one. :p But hopefully, we won't be producing poor results. :D

The following is an informal survey:
This C3V Membership Interest Survey is designed to help figure out which role in the group you're most interested in - and which role you'd best fit in! Keep in mind that there is limited room in each section, some roles may already be mostly filled, some roles may be more popular than others, and that members currently in the Inner Sanctum will be discussing the selection of these members and choosing members appropriate to fill out the various Departments.
Please choose up to TWO sections you'd be interested in participating in and pm the leader of that group with a short message detailing your qualifications for that section of the group and why you'd be interested in it.
You have 48 hours from this posting to respond if you wish to be considered!
Thanks for your interest!
GreyOwl, Griffin, and Bats :-)
DESIGNERS) It is the Designer's job to continually discuss and create new additions to the game of Heroscape. They will be responsible for monitoring and posting in Brainstorming threads and collaborating on initial designs. The Lead Designer for each Design will stay involved throughout the process. If you would like to be a Designer for C3V, send a Private Message to Sherman Davies.
EXECUTIVE REVIEW BOARD) It is the E.R.B.'s job to review each design and discuss the big picture and direct the group in a way that fits the Heroscape aesthetic giving C3V a long term vision and big picture. If you would like to be on the ERB for C3V, send a Private Message to 1Mmirg
LEAD PLAYTESTERS) It is the Lead Playtesters' job to do the initial playtest on each design sent to them by the Designer's sub-group. Lead Designers will also be the "Public Face" of C3V, dispersing designs amongst interested playtesters, organizing, analyzing, and sharing the results of these playtests, answering playtesting questions for the public, and coordinating with the Lead Designers. If you would like to be a Lead Playtester for C3V, send a Private Message to Kinseth
EDITORS) It is the Editors' job to review the grammar and textual aesthetics of the card and correct the text if necessary. Basically we're looking for our OCD nitpickers. ;-) If you would like to be an Editor for C3V, send a Private Message to Agent Minivann
ART DEPARTMENT) It is the Art Department's job to create a finished downloadable/printable product of the design. Not just card makers are desired here. We'd also love to hear any interest from talented and capable Photographers and even Miniature Sculpters. If you would like to be in the Art Department for C3V, send a Private Message to GreyOwl (GreyOwl is not in the Art Department, but he's proxying as a rep for them).
Do not reply directly to this message, or your application will not be considered!

Honestly, being a part of C3G may be more of a detriment than an asset right now. There are some within the sanctum (I am one of them) that believe that bringing too many people over from C3G is not enough diversity in C3V nor is it respectful to the community. There are lots of talented people in this community that are not a part of C3G, and they should have a chance to shine if possible.
That doesn't meant that if you are a C3G member you are automatically denied (that would be somewhat hypocritical coming from me :lol:), but what it does mean is that we are considering every angle and every applicant.

I would make it 2 Utgar squads, and not the same squad twice. If you took two turns with Blastatrons, you also get to move 8 Gladiatrons. If you take two turns with the Nakitas, you get to move 6 Gorillinators. If you take two turns with MacDirks, Knights of Weston, Blade Gruts, Heavy Gruts, Arrow Gruts, Roman Soldiers, Greek Soldiers, GREENSCALES, for Pete's sake, you get two turns with two heroes, which could be Braxas twice!
I would consider seriously revising it, even beyond my Utgar "fix." Otherwise, it looks very good! I really like what you are going for.

Make the ambush more unit specific, and re-phrase to correct any kinks. (if order marker 3 is on General Death, you may instead take a turn with two different relentless squads who follow Utgar) Also, I would probably either reduce his attack, and/or possibly remove the deadly strike.

Just to say after trying it I found a few things else. I stated just order marker three. So I would re-word it as follows
AMBUSH: After revealing order marker 3 on General Death, you may instead take a turn with up to two different _____ squads who follow Utgar.
but you would still have a problem with the new death knights and any unit that bonds. You would get to move them, they bond with General Death. So on turn three you would be able to move General Death (bonding) squad (ambush) General Death normal movement. So I think there shoule be a clause that a unit activated by ambush cannot bond this turn.
So with that being said:
AMBUSH: After revealing order marker 3 on General Death, you may instead take a turn with up to two different _____ squads who follow Utgar. Any squad activated by ambush may not bond this turn.
That takes care of ambush. :D

AMBUSH After revealing order marker 3 on General Death, you may instead take a turn with up to two different ______ squads who follow Utgar. Any squad activated by ambush may not use any ability that activates prior to movement.
I'll check if that screws up any non-bonding abilities in a second...
EDIT- Nope, the anubians and hounds get screwed...
EDIT2- AMBUSH: after revealing order marker 3 on General Death, you may instead take a turn with up to two different _______ squads who follow Utgar. Any squad activated by ambush may not activate any abilities that allow them to take a turn with or move friendly figures.

Taeblewalker
November 13th, 2010, 11:27 AM
I like it! Ambush should allow a variety of squads, and removing the Bonding option opens up more units for use. The only thing left to consider is whether you really want the high end squads, such as Minions, to take two turns, which would possibly make you rethink your cost for the General. At a high enough price, though, it isn't broken. You probably don't even need to limit it to a particular personality/species, etc.

I also wanted to say to everyone who's sent in PMs for their applications: Please don't feel slighted if we do not respond to those PMs. All applications are being considered, but (at least for me) there are too many to reply to them all personally.
No offence taken. I didn't even expect a reply.

Alright, lets get those questionnaires in guys. We already have a bunch, and I am guessing a lot more are still floating out there. We are gonna have a hard time deciding who is chosen, there are so many great applicants for each group. Thanks to all who decide to continue to contribute and participate no matter what, you guys rock. We seriously have the greatest community of any custom game creators. Long live Heroscape! :D

Considering they're giving 48 hours to return them, and I only got mine 46 hours ago (I completed it yesterday, though :D), I figure it will be at least 3 more hours until the decisions are finalized. ;)
Edit: When all the positions are filled, will they be posted in the OP of this thread?

We in the sanctum are not in a rush. We are doing our best to be selective and you guys made it very difficult for us. :p
I only hope that the ones that are not selected do not take it as a sign that they are not wanted. We plan on working with everyone publicly, but there are something like voting and analyzing things that is just better done in small groups.

No, the sanctum should discuss, vote, decide, and then announce. It has always worked best that way.

Exactly. We're getting a lot of applications for very few positions. Obviously, most will not be picked for those spots but a lot of these applicants would make great temporary members down the line.

Oh, I was never suggesting the public should vote on anything, just that we could let them know of our progress. :-) I figured some people might like knowing they were finalists even if they didn't make the cut. But I'm cool with just holding off and announcing the final results too.
And I agree that it's going to take us a while. You guys are all awesome, so lots of Sophie's choice going on.

Just thought I should clarify this, based on the PMs I've been getting: The Art Team's primary focus is to make cards. This means we need people with Photoshop/GIMP experience and a demonstrated talent of making high-quality cards.
We don't currently have a sculpting/painting/drawing team, but those that applied, rest assured we will keep your names in case we do create such teams in the future.
And if you haven't applied yet, let's get on the ball people! :)

OK, after much debate and discussion, we have our initial list of members to be added to the sanctum! (Contingent on the applicants pming me to accept their membership, at least. :-) ).
We may in time also look to add more to our Art Department (we were hoping for more applicants actually interested in putting cards together ... and don't yet have true need for sculptors/photographers) and we may in time look to add another Lead Playtester or two, depending on workload and who proves merit.
Anyhow, without further adieu, here are our selections! :-)

Bats just wants to make sure that everyone who was voted in is paying attention and will submit their acceptance. Though, I think if he is willing to judge your involvement based on an announcement in this thread, you (everyone invited) should return the courtesy to him by letting him know you accept in this thread as well.

Hmmm.... we had agreed to just grant you guys access I thought. Perhaps Bats wants you guys to go through him for some reason. :reapershrug:
If I had the ability, access would have been granted and opened to everyone who was voted in the second the proposition was finalized. No need to "go through" anyone IMO, just come on in.

I think he just wants to make sure we accept, but I don't see why anyone wouldn't. I accidentally got C3G sanctum access as well. It's pretty tempting to take a peek in there. :p

Hey - sorry for the delays - I've been doing work all morning. I've added everyone to the Inner Sanctum who's been in this thread and commented or sent me a pm (the pm was really just for the sake of expediency) except Xotli, who doesn't need me to change his permissions. :-)
No formal anything or anything, I just figured we should make sure people are officially on board before we grant them access to the Inner Sanctum.
Still waiting to hear from Goodpig and Mooseman. Everybody else should (hopefully) have access by now!

I added GO to the Art Dept as he is in it as well as the Design Dept, because lets face it, that guy can do it all. :D Still though, B&K will be training and working with GO and I am hoping one more will be as well. ;)

OK, Good Pig has access too, so the Inner Sanctum is all set for the moment. :-)

I just wanted to add my congrats to everyone accepted and my thanks to all the applicants. I know that ERB had over 20 applicants, making choices extremely hard.
I hope to see this project grow and to see more and more solid members included. I wish we could have brought more of you in and look forward to your participation in playtests and other general threads. This project will work because of all Scapers, not just these initial 18.
Thanks for your excitement and support!

Sadly we don't have C3V badges yet ... Bunjee is, apparently, the go-to person on this site for such things and she's been incommunicado on the issue thus far ... I'll have to try getting in touch with her again soon.

If you can't get hold of bunjee, you could try Malechi or hextr1p for the graphics, and maybe I could work out how to turn it into a badge.

I could, its a simple grey box with colored text. :shrug: Anyone with basic PhotoShop skills could throw a graphic like that together.

Yeah making a graphic like that is easy, not 100% sure of the font and all but does that really matter?

Actually, usually admins can see everywhere, but whoever set up the C3V private section cleverly set it up so that even admins don't see it. Of course, we could just go in and give ourselves permission, but we don't do things like that. :)
And don't worry, nowhere you shouldn't be looking ... except maybe C3G. ;-)
Oh, sure, I don't mess about in there. ;)
