• Frodo & Sam 3 2 3 = 8
• Aragorn 2 1 3 1 2 = 9
• Legolas 2 2 3 1 = 8
• Gimli 1 1 2 = 4
• Boromir 1 3 3 = 7

I'm going to go ahead and call this vote. Aragorn will be our next Brainstorm.

Aragorn will be our next Brainstorm

Aragorn would have been my first choice (probably followed by Boromir and Frodo&Sam), so that works for me.

Ditto.

In light of his history of playtesting for us and his interest in participating, I propose we add @Ninja Status as a member.
@White Knight

I'm OK with adding anyone who is interested to this project to get it moving again.

This proposal passes. Welcome to the team, @Ninja Status !

--

I'd prefer that we at least require a few playtests first, just to make sure new members are committed enough to stick around.

[Ninja Status]

Thanks guys! I'm glad I can be of service

Can't wait to get this project back on track.

Obviously, I vote B. It makes no sense to me to put all brainstorms in this one thread. What a mess!

Right now we have: Legolas, Gimil, Merry, Pippin, Boromir, and Aragorn all being brainstormed in this one thread. Finding suggestions specific to any one figure means sifting through a lot of unrelated information--especially when someone comments on several different designs in a single post.

Like I suggested before, let's draft these figures and have a lead designer or team lead the brainstorming in a separate thread for each figure.

A. all brainstorming in one thread
@capsocrates @Ninja Status
B. each brainstorm in its own thread

I vote A because I don't want to drown this subforum (which we don't own) in threads before necessary. However, I will go ahead and ask if we can get a subforum of our own. EDIT: If we get a subforum then I am fine with option B.

Brainstorming should be open to all and does not need to be "lead." Lead designers/teams should be formed after brainstorming on a figure, not before. This way if people are excited about someone's idea, we can vote to put that person on the lead team for the design, instead of it being too late for that to happen.

I agree it wouldn't be kind of us to flood this forum with 5+ threads all at once, so I'm going to vote Option A. It would be nice to have some sort of organization though, whether that be a sub-forum of it's own, or some way to mark posts in a thread as priority to make sifting easier.
