20th February 2014

The second challenge of the team phase for Make it So 2013 is complete, and it's time for you - the community - to vote! Your votes will directly help shape the future of First Edition and it's more important than ever for you to participate. In Challenge #6: Gray Matters, the teams were asked to design a suite of six (6) cards designed to augment or otherwise enhance a subset of dilemmas. Now, we have three (3) submissions for you to review - a total of eighteen (18) cards! Your votes will help determine the winner, and who will be The Next First Edition Assistant Designer!

Here are the submissions:
Make It So 2013 - Challenge #6 - Team Spock
Make It So 2013 - Challenge #6 - Team Riker
Make It So 2013 - Challenge #6 - Team Kira

An Important Note About the Template
We've used our card design software, Utopia Planetia, to approximate the cards on the templates. However, the designers themselves don't have direct access to the software at this stage, and the software can be a bit off on the templates. Don't judge cards too harshly, especially in this sixth challenge, if they spill a word or two over the template. Those kinds of things will almost always not happen when the final version is built.

Remember that for these challenges, you're doing more than scoring the individual cards. Although we do want your scores and votes for the individual cards themselves (on their own), we also want you to evaluate the entire submission as a whole. The survey has been adjusted to give you the opportunity to do so. Voting is now open, and will remain open until 11:30 AM Eastern Time on Wednesday, February 26th. Note that this is different than in previous challenges - you have a little less than a week to vote! After that time, voting will be closed so that the results can be calculated and posted on Monday.

And that's that! Take a look at the dilemma enhancing cards submitted (links above) and then vote using the survey below. And don't forget to join the discussion on the Make It So forum and help argue for your favorite card!
