Awesome ;).
Anyways should it get approved and stuff, first thing is the subforum yeah.
Not to mention we have to make groups of who does what (theorycrafting, thinking up skillsets, art, etc) aswell as who works on which project or rather, which champion(s).
Can't have random or scattered work.
As for the subforum, we have to make a different section for every champion project aswell as different sections within those projects for the individual jobs (theorycrafting, thinking up skillsets, art, etc).
Besides that we need to set up rosters (times which people can be on to discuss it etc) aswell as ways to contact besides ventrilo which in my opinion seems rather buggy to me, hasn't worked properly on any computer i've had so far.
Possible options for that is skype, msn, the chatboxfunction i was talking about for the forums itself, etc etc ^_^.
Don't get angry if you already thought of all this, just placing some important notes so it gets the best start ^_^.

The process is probably going to be step oriented - we can't have multiple people working on different things at the same time, because then there will be conflicts. I'll update the OP to reflect this, but what I'm thinking now is:
Concept Discussion (What do we want our champion to do? What niche will him/her have?)
Concept Nomination and Voting (Pick a final concept to build upon)
Discuss Playstyle (Carry, Caster, Tank, Support, Melee)
Vote for Playstyle (Self-explanatory)
Discuss Concepts for Skills Only (What we want his skills to do to fit his role in the game)
Vote on Concepts
Make Skills More Specific (Fine-tune them, get numbers right down to the grain)
Vote On Final Skills (This is the hardest part. I don't know if we want to vote on complete sets of 5 skills or if we'll vote on each skill individually.)
Base Stat Submission
Base Stat Voting
Concept Art Discussion (Throw ideas around)
Concept Art Submission
Concept Art Voting
Flavor Text (Lore, recommended items, jokes, taunts, sayings)
Final Product
Ideally, everything will happen in that order.

I like that idea, but, instead of having one person lead everything, personally I think there should be captains for different main topics, ie abilities, design, etc, and then one where we merge together...
honestly, I think a chat would help out, I could make one if you want :O

Interesting. How would this "Captain" idea work? Would everybody work on a different aspect of the champion at the same time?
The only reason I don't want to go towards that kind of route is because it could be messy. Concept Art may have a brilliant design, but it wouldn't work with the kind of skills we want our champion to produce. Skill Design may have an amazingly balanced set up skills thought up, but it wouldn't match with the original concept.
Step-based may take more time, but I feel like it will be more reliable.
And don't worry, a "leader" doesn't have any more say over anything than another member - he or she just determines what poll to do next.

Right, but...well, lemme break this up how I see it being most effective.
We have a leader, on the main thread, who sets up this poll.
But who makes the stuffs for the poll?
The separate sections. So, I think we need a whole new topic for this. And then each section is stickied as well as the main poll.
We want to try to make this as rote as possible, have due dates, ya know? So, let's say every 2 weeks we can produce a new champ? (just an estimate)
so every whatever days/weeks, we all gather a new idea in a main thread. When we have this idea, the captains would look at the main idea (say, for instance, "Female ranged DPS, passive, maybe she can have stealth, float, w/e") and take charge of their own section. For instance, is Bob is the leader of the ability section, he would then post on the thread about this new champ, and start getting people on that section working on the abilities. When that is done, the captain reports back to the thread with the final results.
and this continues. report in daily to the main thread to keep everything working well with the other aspects of the champ.
in this way, it'll be a neater process, more efficient, less burden on each leader, etc
and vent/some chat would help this tenfold

So I heard about this super-awesome thing called Ventrilo.
I don't know about that idea Scrax, wouldn't it be a little chaotic when everyone is trying to talk at once and stuff? And for the sake of the low chance that somebody will have an accent that a majority of the people have a hard time understanding could lead to disaster. Not afraid to give it a try, just not to confident in the results.
History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction. That's why events are always reinterpreted when values change. We need new versions of history to allow for our current prejudices.
