I think it would be good to get a council of elders going. I think Kamiza or Dwarf are fine choices due all the hard work they have done already. Truthfully I think we need to organize events for the year first. Lets get something settled for Gen Con before we redo DSM or make any fan sets legal. That is more important imho. |

The longer we wait to announce something @ Gen Con the quicker we lose players to another game. |

I've been out of Vs for a bit, but I'd like to be a part of such a council - I am an experienced lvl 2 judge, worked closely with a PTO (and had my TO cert as well), and worked on the game for several yrs. I'm not the person to ask to playtest, but I am the person who can do the research, make character and set decisions, name cards, and do aesthetic and flavour design. In others words, I leave the game mechanics to others and handle the meaty goodness ;p |

Honestly a lot of power is on the shoulders of the people who now run this site. I'm not trying to make any enemies by saying this, but the simple fact that this site has a polling system is invaluable to deciding issues within the entire community. With that being said that I think that yes we need to start moving things along as to not waste too much time (causing problems and loss of players down the road), but we should just start voting on many subjects that come up through the polls on this site. Just throw it all out there. Whatever gets majority votes on a subject is what we go by for some determined amount of time. Instead of us all posting threads about what should be done (we all have our own opinion) lets come up with the major points and vote on them through the polling system here letting everyone know on all the other sites that they are invited to do so. If we can't except as a community the things that need to be done decided by majority votes then we will not have a close nit community of players and competitive play is over. It's really the only fair and reasonable thing to do at this time. This way we as a community can really see if a council is what players want and who should be on that council or if we should go the route of the SW fans or instead make our own fan based cards. |

Lastchance has a point. We can sit and go back and forth for a long, long time on priorities and how to handle them. And nothing will move. Cuz we all seem to care about the game the same amount. And we all have valid points. I like the idea of posting a topic we should work on...like: "Now that we've determined the majority here think Blink is the Exiles "problem", let's hear how to fix her." And let everyone post their opinions for a few days. People can read those. Then a poll comes along that summarizes those opinions. Once we've voted in that poll (and announced it to other sites), we've got the official VsSystem.org decree on Blink. People can do with it what they will. (BTW - I don't say "VsSystem.org decree" to be divisive in any way, but I can't rightly say "the official Vs. Fan decree on Blink" if we're the only site running the poll. Right?) |

I agree on this but only for counsel elders vote right @ this time. We need someone to be the final say. If we all vote for stuff it will just be chaos. We cannot go into this trying to please everybody. Whomever leads has to try to do what is right & what is smart to make the community thrive. Instead of a vote however how about a tournament. Anyone & everyone who wants to be on the council does an online tourney. The winner becomes the Council Prez. Good idea? |

dude what the flip happened???? this really snow balled didnt it?there are several topics being pushed here in this thread i think the council is a good idea and voting on who is in it is a good idea, the whole vssystem, TCG player, relms topic was pretty intense what if we vote in ppl from all 3 sites? and there jobs will be to make sure the voices of there sites are herd (tallying votes make sure valid points are brought up and what knot) and since the council will have to comunicate out side forms (via emails and phone calls and what have yous no 1 site will really need to be a main focus will it? i mean to promote the efforts of this council u have to get word out to all the VS players and has been stated b4 ppl just like there sites more it happens the council members from each site will do what they were voted for and bring word to there sites is that a bad idea?) what happened to the alter ego cards they were hot to death , what about progressin on what to do with the DSM-2 set are we waiting for a council to be made b4 we put our 2 cents in on that? where the flip did blink come from did i miss something???? and is she really that bad???? i mean i find dr.doom more of a pain to deal with (yea i said it DOOM) doesnt mean i think we should do something about dr.doom (for a great villian he sure does lose alot, and why isnt mr. fantastic more dominating in VS?? i mean in the comics we are to assume he is smarter then DOOM right he wins.....wait i am rambling forget that) did i miss anyother topic that seemed to pop up ????

Make it Hellboy Essential Collection decks, all identical. See who has the real skills. This community exercise is strange enough already. Savage Tofu took it to a whole new level. Wow. What a concept.

Zing! Nice! So - back to the original council idea - Steve suggested 5 council seats: • High level judge/Rules Expert (someone with deep understanding of all Vs. System Rules) • Active, experienced Tournament Organiser (Someone with practical knowledge or running high level/large events) • Online Play expert (someone with technical abilities required to build patches for MWS or any future online play platforms) • Expert player (someone with high level tournament experience) • Dedicated community rep (someone who is well respected within the community and able to act as a spokesperson) Do we like that idea (sounds good to me), or does someone see it significantly different? Keeping in mind, this council is here to steer, not to rule... |

This is not true. It CAN be a problem even if no profit is made. Just clearing up this misunderstanding. Carry on. |

After reading all the arguments over VSrealms/TCGplayer...does anyone else think the reason Magic started off so strong was due to it being before the internet revolution? I do. |

OK - "the majority of Vs players on this site who care". If you've got a better suggestion to getting a solid read on everyone's feeling on this, I'm all ears...
