A ClbumBuildr would be a good idea if it was a lot slower than forumbuildr, ie once or twice a year.

In order to be really good, it would have to be a very slow process. Something like:

Step 1: Call for submissions goes out.

Step 2: CZ goes through the submissions and chooses the ten (arbitrary number) best ideas.

Step 3: Players vote on which of those ten they like the best, that’s the next clbum.

Step 4: A call for concepts for equipment and skills goes out.

Step 5: CZ picks through the submissions and chooses their favorites.

Step 6: Players vote on which of CZ’s favorites are the best.

Step 7: CZ tweaks the numbers on the skills and equipment, and viola new clbum.

It could be good, but it would require a significant degree of oversight in order to not detract from the game. It doesn’t matter so much if there are ****ty ideas for forums in the game, as new players who would potentially be turned off by something lame might not see them for days if not weeks. On the other hand, everybody sees all the clbumes almost immediately, so a lame clbum could potentially hurt the appeal of the game.
