Also, I think it makes sense to post the next round before the previous round's judging is over. For example:
4th of the month: round 1 thread opened
7th of the month: round 1 submission deadline
8th of the month: round 2 thread opened
11th of the month: round 1 critique deadline
This. I've been advocating this since is saw MOON-E (I think?) do it last year. CCL always runs into the next month, and this seems like a great way to avoid that. Or at least lessen it.
I demand that all CCL Hosts include links to the past rounds (including signups) every round, or at least to the previous round. This greatly facilitates the reposting of previous cards, which I feel is an important part of the CCL since it enables you to see how someone builds on a theme over the month.
Will we get marked down if its obviously to much flavour text, in other words would likely never be printed because of length. Talking 30-40 range here.
Cheers.
Sorry I didn't see this sooner. I'd recommend using Magic Set Editor to gauge what it looks like. I doubt 30-40 would look bad, though.
MDenham, I just wanted to say that running these submission rounds concurrently with the critique rounds is brilliant. CCL always runs long, and this is an ingenious solution. I hope this becomes a thing.
Considering that both yewlas and KoolKoal are both in a "May works, but June/July won't (or might not)", how about having the two of them run May together (design their theme together, KK covers when yewlas isn't available) and giving CC June?
Provided everyone else is cool with it, KK is game and we can find some chat time to plan, I find this agreeable.
Also, people should start volunteering to run the next few months here. I'm going to keep with my current pattern of every four months and call August as my next month.
I'll be gone for a week in May for work, but if need be, I can put one together. June/July are out for me, I'm running the Mechanic Creator's Contest in September, so the next available for me would be October, which is crazy far away.
Yeah I suppose. It's like that one Olympics that didn't happen (I refuse to look for that information with Wikipedia down).
Those games sucked, and I wasn't even in them.
In other news, if I were to attempt another part of the cycle started by CrustaceanCrusader, would that DFC setup meet the round's requirements for an enchantment creature?
(Psst...CrustaceanCrusader, if you're reading this, are you okay with that idea?)
Okay, sure, but that's not any different than now, is it? At least the first three rounds would move more quickly.

Indeed. My apologies for mixing you up. I'm terrible with names, even online, apparently. All the same, thanks for introducing the idea.
