well, most if not all of us has said what we want but we still haven't come up with what we're going to use, so how are we going to decide?

I vote yes, I think there should be at least a couple.
I'll add another one: Barbarians.

If we go with this whole "order vs. chaos" thing, then we shouldn't use elves. Elves to me, although a very free people who wouldn't really be very regimented, nonetheless don't fit the "wild and chaotic" feel very well. Wizards, though, definitely should be included. But I don't think they should be in the role of the blue tribe. They should be spread out across all the "order" colors. |

To expand on that a bit...
Wizards can be spread across the "order" colors, meaning that there will be white Wizards, blue Wizards (of course), and probably even black Wizards. As we said, black could go either way in the law vs. chaos spectrum, and in my opinion it should dabble in both sides.
However, this means that there will be no wizards in green or red. What, then, goes in their place? In the "law vs. chaos" spectrum, you can easily draw comparisons between various creature types. For example, soldiers are quite obviously representative of law and order. Barbarians, on the other hand, are more chaotic. It's just like the distinction between barbarians and fighters in D&D.
I believe that Wizards as well should have a counterpart. The best thing I can think of is Druids. They already exist in green anyway, and I think the natural aspect of their magic makes them ideal candidates. The only other candidate I can think of is Shamans. If we go with Shamans, then maybe we could use Druids as the counterpart to Clerics or something.
In order to illustrate this and keep track of it, I drew up a little chart:
Law___________________Chaos
Soldier..........................Barbarian
Wizard..........................Druid/Shaman

*WierdeD OuT* Okay, for the Chaotic Counter-Wizards... Well, I got one for Black, anyhow: Necromancer. I mean, seriously, that would be sweet! Also, Barbarians... Kinda mundane. How about... Uhh... Dwarfs! Let's give 'em their day! Also: I think we should have a tribal sub-theme.

Dwarfs! Let's give 'em their day! Also: I think we should have a tribal sub-theme. Well, dwarf is a race, not a profession. That's what barbarian has on it. I certainly support making some dwarves, though. I'm a bit hesitant to make a tribal theme, since we've had a whole block of that recently (Onslaught). |

Oh, not a maxi-theme, a mini-theme, like it is in Champions.
