Collaborative Expansion of the Month (for July 2009, voting takes place in June)

[Novelty]

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:

Hog Roast - idea by Joff (1 vote previously for two consecutive months)
The Constable - idea by kissybooboo (1 vote previously)
Roman Roads and Parthenon  - idea by Jabberwocky (1 vote previously)

Meeple Upgrades - idea by kjamma4
Foreign Traders & Harbour Towns - idea by Lakoda
Lord of the Rings - idea by CKorfmann
The "King" and Citadel Meeple - idea by Joff
The Apprentice - idea by Jabberwocky
Spatial Manifold or The Wormhole (same thing, different names) - idea by Jabberwocky and CKorfmann respectively.
Icons - idea by Deatheux
The Void - idea by Jabberwocky
Four Horsemen of the Acopolypse - idea by PinkPaiseley
Here Be Dragons and Oxbow - idea by Jabberwocky

Remember, only vote if you are going to contribute (i.e. post your ideas/suggestions) next month.  To those named above - if you would like your expansion to be removed from the list, please let me know.  Vote by posting below, and please state what you'd be willing to contribute.  Thanks.  You may also change your vote if you wish, before the end of June.

Just for the record, the following people are working on:
CKorfmann - The Missionary, Sheep and Shepherds
Novelty - Grim Reaple, Market Town, High Places
skipboris - The Ocean
wellidesigns - Vineyards
Whaleyland - The Moated City of Carcassonne

Edit: Voting 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! 

[Novelty]

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.

[CKorfmann]

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!

[Novelty]

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

Vote count:
Hog Roast: 2

[meepleater]

I'll go for hog roast again...

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

[Novelty]

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!

[JPutt927]

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

[Novelty]

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!
