Carcassonne Central

Each month , as a group, we will concentrate our focus on developing one of the "archived" expansions to get it to "completed".  Archived expansions are those where ideas have been proposed, but little or no work has been done to get it to "completed" (i.e. Public Downloads status.  I propose that as a team/group, we work through the issues and come to consensus about the final idea and then someone or someones (volunteers, hopefully) will create the tiles and the rules to get it ready for download.

Also, during each month, we will also vote on the next expansion that we would like to concentrate on the following month.  The options for July 2009 (voting in June 2009) are:

Edit: Voting (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/forum/index.php?topic=914.0) for June's Collaborative expansion will close on the 31st of May.  You may vote for July's Collaborative expansion from now till 30th June - and you may change your votes as many times as you wish in the month of June.

Thanks for putting pictures to all of these.  Point for you!  :D

I'll vote Hog Roast for July.  I may change the vote if Hog Roast gets chosen for June though.

Edit (1st June): Commons and Central Market removed from list as it is the new June collaborative expansion.

Vote total:

Hog Roast: 1.

I guess I'll throw in a vote for Hog Roast.  I have to get Sheep & Shepherds done before I could take on the Constible anyway.  We'll be working and traveling quite a bit over the next two months, so I better not commit to too much right now.  I'm just glad I finally got the Missionary done!

OK, that's 2 votes for Hog Roast!  I guess this is a slow month for voting.

Vote count:
Hog Roast: 2

I'll go for hog roast again...

EDIT:Now my exams are over, I'll retry the monastaries idea on the weekend...

Just to make this more competitive, I'm changing my vote to Roman Roads/Parthenon.  New vote count:
Hog Roast: 2
Roman Roads/Parthenon: 1

Last day of voting!

Alrighty, let's make this thing interesting... I'm all for Roman Roads/Parthenon.

That makes it:

Hog Roast: 2
Roman roads/Parthenon: 2

Voting closes in a couple of hours!  What happens if there's a tie?  Well, I have no idea :)

Edit: Voting is closed.  We have a tie.  After discussions with Joff and jputt927, we have concluded the following:

Joff and myself will complete up Hog Roast for July
jputt927 and myself will complete Roman roads/Parthenon for July

Yes, there'll be 2 July collaborative expansions!  Remember to vote in the August poll (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/forum/index.php?topic=988.0)!
