jmgariepy pointed out that they're coming quite thick and fast, and it'd make sense to pace them out a bit better. I agree. So I propose that if you want to post a challenge, you sign up in the discussion thread here, and the challenges get posted once a week, on some regular day of the week (e.g. each Friday or each Monday).
Heh I have what I think is a great idea for my next challenge - It was going to be my idea for a Master Challenge (harder than a normal challenge) but I think I'll just make it a normal one. It involves....well you'll have to wait until Challenge 6 for that }:-)
I'm looking forward to setting you all Challenge 7. I thought of it at the same time as Challenge # 003, and I think it's better. I was going to set it one day after #3, but then jmgariepy pointed out how busy this set is, and I agreed it made sense to slow things down... but I'm still looking forward to when #7 happens :)
Ha! Are we completely open? I think everyone may be absorbed with the community set design. I know I've been skimming a lot of other things in Multiverse, because that set has been so active.
I'll take Challenge #10. I don't know what it is going to be, yet, but I'm quite sure I'll come up with something good by tonight.
Update: Oh, I know exactly what I'm doing. But we'll have to wait till tonight until I post.
Tic Toc, Alex. It's been 11 days since the last challenge, and you're on deck. If you want, I'll come up with one. If not, put me on for Challenge #15.
Claiming the next challenge, which is technically number 29. Jack did 28.
Also, when are we going to draft this set? The boosters for this thing is getting insane. I did a quick run, and, among other things, got a split card, two design challenges and an ongoing scheme.
It makes sense to keep this thread for people to sign up or discuss, but would it make sense to move the list of upcoming (even if it now often only has one on) to a details page instead of relying on Alex's comment?
Yeah... I sort of forgot about this page. Which is rather silly of me, since it's right there on the front. Still, I think a details page would be nice.
By the by, does anyone want the next one? I don't have anything planned, but I like to see these going off about once every 10 days or so. If someone else doesn't have one ready, I'm sure I can think of something.
I've got a good idea for Challenge #49, but am not sure how to implement it. The idea would be to come up with an odd name for a card, then have someone come along, make that card, and leave another odd name for a card, and on, and on.
I know I've seen this work on other websites... but posting in the forums of those other websites was often a quicker experience. Just re-type the name, add a mana cost, card type and some plithy game text and go. With the forms here, the way their set up, I assume most people take a bit more time and thought with their entries. Maybe it takes 7 minutes instead of 2? In that amount of time, there could be a multiple entry confusion.
I don't know if anyone had any idea of how to solve this, or if it even needs to be solved. I thought about just responding on the thread with the word "Locked"... just to stop someone else from working on something you're working on. Maybe something that says that 'locked' doesn't count if it's been 30 minutes plus. Maybe I'm overthinking this...
Aah. Yes. Challenge # 033 was in a similar vein. You'd think I'd remember it, since I started it. :P
No, you're right. We didn't even have a snag with that one. I'm going to let this comment sit for a day or two before I make Challenge 49, just in case someone has any input. But I'd think 33 sets a good precedent of not worrying about it.
Claiming challenge 71. That's probably the last time I'll use this page to announce Challenges, though. The upcoming challenges page seems to do a much better job doing what it does than this page does. I wonder if we should just pull this page from the guideline and let it hang in limbo?
True. The only thing is, this card allows comments / discussion. But yes, take this card off the guideline, and maybe just say "If you have any questions, this is the place to ask them".
OK, I removed this page from the instructions for announcing a challenge, but left it as the answer to "I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, is there somewhere I can discuss upcoming challenges".
Existing challenges are listed on the All Challenges page.

Upcoming Challenges:
All forthcoming challenges are up for grabs.
Good idea. I think I'll add something for #5.
Hmmm I originally had my first 4 challenges mapped out so, could I have slot 8?????
Camruth: Oh, hm. Maybe you should take the next two free in that case, I'm not sure.
Seems Camruth should be put in Challenge # 006 as well. If he's got the challenge, and it's open. Seems only fair.
Yes, that makes sense.
I may have an idea for #008 if it is still open
Heh I have what I think is a great idea for my next challenge - It was going to be my idea for a Master Challenge (harder than a normal challenge) but I think I'll just make it a normal one. It involves....well you'll have to wait until Challenge 6 for that }:-)
Darkheart: I've given you slot 8.
I'm looking forward to setting you all Challenge 7. I thought of it at the same time as Challenge # 003, and I think it's better.

I am definitely excited for more of these.
I'll post challenge #05 tomorrow (or maybe this afternoon).
Oh, I finally have an idea! Can I have Challenge 9 please?
Anyone care to pose another design challenge?
Ha! Are we completely open? I think everyone may be absorbed with the community set design. I know I've been skimming a lot of other things in Multiverse, because that set has been so active.
I'll take Challenge #10. I don't know what it is going to be, yet, but I'm quite sure I'll come up with something good by tonight.

I will take #11.
I have a vague idea for a challenge - #12?
Tic Toc, Alex. It's been 11 days since the last challenge, and you're on deck. If you want, I'll come up with one. If not, put me on for Challenge #15.
Whoops! Thanks for the prod. I created Challenge # 014 and I've put you down for #15.
I've got two ideas, so I'm set for the next challenge. I obviously won't take two in a row, though.
It's been over 7 days since the last challenge has been posted. If no one has any objections, I'll just make challenge # 018.
Go for it. Link, you can add another one as well if you want.
I'll post mine tomorrow or the next day, to give some time to jmgariepy's challenge.
I've got an idea for one!
I'm claiming Challeng # 021, and putting it up tomorrow.
I claim Challenge # 24 for France! Vive le Roi!
I have another idea for a challenge, unless anyone objects.
Sounds fine by me. Someone should poke me in a week afterwards if I don't add my challenge by then. I've got two floating in mind.
I may suggest something for #29, then.
Claiming the next challenge, which is technically number 29. Jack did 28.
Also, when are we going to draft this set? The boosters for this thing is getting insane. I did a quick run, and, among other things, got a split card, two design challenges and an ongoing scheme.
I think http://multiverse.heroku.com/cards/9021#comment_18175 got left out of the list?
I am going to nab Challenge 30 if that's OK with everyone.

I've got an idea, if no one else does.
I'll take the one after that.
Okay, then I'll grab the one after.
OK, I added those to a details page. Anyone feel free to reformat/add to it.
Paging Dr. Vitenka! You're slated for Challenge # 035, and I think there's been a long enough pause between challenges.
OK things have been quiet so I'm going to do # 036
I hereby claim challenge # 037!
Ok, I suggest that we use the details page for scheduling new challenges, but keep this card for any discussion about it.
I went ahead and edited the pages so:
If anyone disagrees feel free to tidy it up.
It might be worthwhile to:
But Im not sure.
Am I cool to take the next challenge?
Yeah, please do.
Claiming Challenge # 044.
I'd like to do Challenge # 046 if possible. :)
Yay!

I'd say don't worry about it; if it branches, then it branches. Didn't we already have a response challenge?
Aah. Yes. Challenge # 033 was in a similar vein. You'd think I'd remember it, since I started it. :P

claiming challenge # 56 :)
Claiming challenge #57 :)
I'll take 59
Claiming number 60. Will be up in a couple of days.
Number 62 claimed.
Claiming challenge 71. That's probably the last time I'll use this page to announce Challenges, though. The upcoming challenges page seems to do a much better job doing what it does than this page does. I wonder if we should just pull this page from the guideline and let it hang in limbo?
