Challenge #1: The Dual Dilemma Dilemma

by Charlie Plaine, Chairman

19th January 2010

On Thursday, January 14th, we took our competitors by surprise and gave them their first challenge, "The Dual Dilemma Dilemma:"

The design team has decided to make the use of dual dilemmas riskier. Design a fifteen card "expansion" that makes the use of dual dilemmas more risky, with at least one card for each affiliation and sub-affiliation (except , which are optional).

After almost five days of tumultuous deliberation, discussion and debate, each team's entries are due today, at 8 AM Eastern Time (GMT - 5). You can find all of the entries on the Official Make It So forum, where you are invited to ask questions and make comments on the cards.

Once you've had a chance to review the cards, head back to this article and register your votes for the winning teams! Voting will remain open until Thursday, January 21st, 2010 at 8 AM Eastern Time (GMT - 5). You can vote by taking the survey below this article.

In this phase of the competition, there are two battles. The Bajoran Team is competing directly against the Cardassian Team; meanwhile, the Klingon Team competes with the Romulan Team. You get to vote for a winning team in each battle, and the collective votes of the community are tallied with the opinions of our judges to determine the winners.
