Ally Design Process:
Brainstorming Phase: Unofficial phase that happens in the
Public Design Post thread where designs are tweaked and posted to get them a nomination in the Selection Phase.
Selection Phase: Occurs in the
C3G Public Design Nomination thread, where we nominate any designs from the Public Design Post and then vote on what the next public design will be.
Design Phase: Once the previous design is released, the next LD decided upon in the Selection Phase may start a
Book for their design(s) and immediately secure a second post to keep the design in. Once the thread is started be sure to post a link to it in the
Welcome to C3G thread and the
C3G Promotions Department thread and
then send a PM with a link to the new thread to the C3G Heroes. The first official phase an Ally design enters, this is where most of the design kinks will be worked out. The Thread Title should be The Book of xxxxx(Design Phase)
Remember: For the first 48 hours you may not alter the design in the SP for any reason. You can make notes of suggested changes in the second post below the design so they don't get lost, but you are not allowed to alter the design.
Initial Playtesting Phase: This is during the Design Phase and
must be voted on to move to this phase. First make the following proposal in bold:
I propose a vote for Initial Playtesting. Change the Thread Title to The Book of xxxxx(Vote for Initial Playtest). Only a C3G Hero may run the Initial Playtest. 24 hours must pass before a proposal for the playtesting phase can occur. Make the following proposal in bold:
I propose a vote for Public Playtesting. Change the Thread Title to The Book of xxxxx(Vote for Public Playtesting).
Playtesting Phase: Now the public gets a chance to officially test the unit. Change the Thread Title to The Book of xxxxx(Playtesting Phase). At least two playtesters are needed per unit. Once the tests have been turned in, the Lead Designer may propose to send the design to Final Editing. Make the following proposal in bold:
I propose a vote for Final Editing. Change the Thread Title to The Book of xxxxx(Vote for Final Editing).
Final Editing Phase: Wording on all powers is fine tuned and the cards are created. Change the Thread Title to The Book of xxxxx(Final Editing).Once the cards are finished and the first post of the Book of thread is cleaned up, the Lead Designer can propose to release the design. Make the following proposal in bold:
I propose a vote for Release. Change the Thread Title to The Book of xxxxx(Vote for Release).
Release: A unanimous vote from the Heroes is needed to release the design and the process restarts at the Design Phase with a design chosen by the group in the Selection Phase.
