During that voting time, it would also be the time to submit the uncommon ideas. This would continue until all the ideas are voted on and secured. I think more accepted ideas would be nice, rather than just 24 (I think that's how many were accepted), maybe have double that? There were more than 2 godlikes that I would have liked to see accepted, but only 2 were. Maybe have 3-4 godlikes, with a lower chance of dropping any of them? I just feel like a hell of a lot more thought went into the primordial and godlike suggestions than the lower tiers, and that a lot of that thought was wasted because of how many were accepted compared to how many were posted.
A crate with 48 items in it would be a huge amount of work and would make the crate a lot more difficult to get items you actually want. (as the odds then double of actually rolling one you'r e after since twice as many other possible items).
Just because only 2 were accepted, doesn't mean the other ones were denied entry. There's nothing wrong re-posting your ideas that didn't quite make CC1 for CC2 when the time comes.
But yes, the period idea is similar to what I started doing after the first big test. The first 'free for all' to submit everything was basically one big beta test of the system itself, and not really how I wanted to go about accepting things, and that created an unfair element to newer suggestions. But I do like your idea for that.
Now with upvotes, I can't really think of anyway to fix 'hey look at and +1 this suggestion'. I can state that it is against the rules to advertise your suggestion though, and if you're caught doing it your suggestion is removed. That may fix that, but I don't know really. People will still do it.
I really wish people wouldn't have done that. It should be up to the community to +1 ones they like, not whoever advertises theirs the most and has the most friends.
I will state that I do NOT want to handpick submissions, so some form of the upvote system will remain through to the next series. I may give a downvote system a try next time, but then competing suggestions will just downvote each other.
