RFD: comp.sys.acorn.games
A G Jackson
Purpose
-------
The newsgroup will be dedicated to all aspects of games for Acorn
computers - help on games, cheats, new releases, recommended buys,
programming of games etc.
Rationale
---------
There has been an increasing amount of games traffic recently on
comp.sys.acorn. The advances currently being made in the Acorn games
scene suggest that in the future traffic will grow still more. Already
over 1/4 of Acorn-related posts from the last 100 posts to
comp.sys.acorn were games related.
Charter
-------
comp.sys.acorn.games is an unmoderated newgroup which will serve as a
forum for the discussion of games on Acorn machines. Topics that may
be discussed include:
- Announcements of new games releases
- Original game reviews
- Magazine game review summaries (currently posted to
comp.sys.acorn)
- Discussion of game design
- Hints and cheats for games
Discussion
----------
Any reasonable argument against the creation of comp.sys.acorn.games
should be posted to news.groups (or do a followup to this
post). Discussion can then take place.

questions only contact rdip...@qualcomm.com. For questions about the

CHARTER
comp.sys.acorn.games is an unmoderated newgroup which will serve as a
forum for the discussion of games on Acorn machines. Topics that may

[end of charter]
Rationale (Proponent is "I")
There really isn't anyone who shouldn't be voting for this group. Those
who like games should vote for it to get a forum for discussion which
would be less formal and intimidating than comp.sys.acorn. Those who
don't like games would be more than happy to see games traffic moving off
comp.sys.acorn. Those who fall in between and argued against it last time
the subject was brought up on the grounds of lack of traffic should by
now be able to see that the traffic is there, even in the current
newsgroups, and will grow.
HOW TO VOTE
Send MAIL to: vot...@qualcomm.com
Just Replying should work if you are not reading this on a mailing list.
Your mail message should contain one of the following statements:
I vote YES on comp.sys.acorn.games
I vote NO on comp.sys.acorn.games
You may also ABSTAIN in place of YES/NO - this will not affect the outcome.
Anything else may be rejected by the automatic vote counting program. The
votetaker will respond to your received ballots with a personal acknowledge-
ment by mail - if you do not receive one within several days, try again.
It's your responsibility to make sure your vote is registered correctly.
Only one vote counted per person, no more than one vote per account. Addresses
