Alright, so I'm just going to post this to make sure everyone's filled in.
As I posted here on the MTGNews Front Page (http://www.mtgnews.com/F/Topic/1154023864544_MTGNews__The_Expansion.html#CommentsBox), the idea is to create a tournament worthy expansion to be used in addition to a core set made entirely from cards designed by MTGNews forum members. Once this is completed, the goal is to then use our lovely online Magic playing software to hold tournaments online with the expansion we make. The current plan is to hold a forum-wide tournament with only this expansion and 9th edition, but depending on the project's success, the number of tournament formats we can create is virtually limitless.
So you're probably asking yourself, "What can I do to help?" The answer is to stay tuned to this thread, as I will be posting updates on what's going on. Although, given the size of the forum as it stands right now, you've probably already noticed the single other thread occupying this place: The suggest a theme thread.
Currently, we are working on trying to figure out a theme for our expansion. If you have a suggestion, please post it.
On August 7th, we will post a poll that will last about 5 days with the best suggestions for theme. Then you may vote on the themes you think are best. The theme that wins will be the primary theme for our expansion.
Stay tuned for more updates, and keep those card ideas ready. Won't be long until creation begins! Thank you, and please spread the word to as many people as you can.
