Who can do this?
All signed-in accounts submit proposals and vote. Only you can withdraw your own proposal. The team handles review and acceptance.
Card workshop: proposing cards
In the card workshop you submit ideas for new cards; the community votes and the team decides.
What is it for?
Beta phase note: The card game is not set up in the beta. The feature is built, but it is not available to you at the moment.
The “Card Forge” tab of the “Trading Cards” page consists of the form “Propose a new card”, the list “My proposals” and the list “Currently up for vote”. Every proposal has its own detail page. You enter “Card name”, “Description/lore” and “Card type” and choose “Submit (fee will be charged)”. You do not propose card values.
A proposal first goes through moderation (“Awaiting moderation review”). If moderation approves it, it is “In voting”. Other accounts vote with “Vote”; every vote costs Bookworms. You cannot vote for your own proposal. Only when the required number of votes is reached can the team accept the proposal and classify the card; it then sits in your collection as “Accepted - own card added to collection”.
With “Withdraw” you take back your own proposal while it is being reviewed or is up for vote. The list shows the tiers “New”, “Trending” and “Archived (still votable without limit)”.

Your data
Illumentis stores your proposal with its name, description and card type, as well as your votes. The fee and every vote appear in the Bookworm history as “Card proposal submitted” and “Voted on card proposal”.
Limits
By default, a proposal costs 20 Bookworms and each vote costs 1. You can submit up to 3 proposals per day and cast at most 5 votes per proposal. By default, 50 votes are needed for acceptance. The operator can change these values. The name can have at most 60 characters and the description at most 500. Mystic cards cannot be reached through proposals.
