RATIONALE: rec.games.trading-cards.magic.variations
Magic: The Gathering, a collectible card game made by Wizards of the
Coast, is widely popular. Many players have ideas for input on how the
game could be improved in terms of fun and interesting gaming variations.
Currently, items relating to rules variations/house rules, flavor text,
expansion ideas, and game themes are discussed on several newsgroups,
including the newsgroups rec.games.trading-cards.magic.strategy,
rec.games.trading-cards.magic.rules, and rec.games.trading-cards.magic.misc.
Readers of these groups have already expressed interest in the creation
of a new group specifically for such discussions and provided input on
what such a group should contain.

END CHARTER.
HOW TO VOTE
Send E-MAIL to: rg...@infobahn.net
Your e-mail message should contain one and only one of the
following statements:
I vote YES on rec.games.trading-cards.magic.variations
I vote NO on rec.games.trading-cards.magic.variations
You may also vote ABSTAIN or CANCEL; these are not counted as
votes and don't affect the vote count.
Anything else will be rejected by the automatic vote counting
program. The votetaker will respond to your received ballots
with a personal acknowledgment 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.
If you later change your mind you may vote again from the same
email address; only your last valid vote will count.
VOTING PROCEDURE NOTES:
Standard Guidelines for voting apply. One person, one vote.
Votes must be mailed directly from the voter to the votetaker.
Anonymous, forwarded or proxy votes are not valid; this includes
votes generated by WWW/HTML/CGI forms.
Vote counting is automated. Failure to follow these directions will
mean that your vote does not get counted. Duplicate votes are
resolved in favor of the most recent valid vote. Addresses and votes
of all voters will be published in the final voting results post.
The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest of
persons who would read a proposed newsgroup. Soliciting votes from
disinterested parties defeats this purpose. Please do not
redistribute this CFV. If you must, direct people to the official CFV
as posted to news.announce.newgroups. Distributing pre-marked or
otherwise edited copies of this CFV will result in those votes being
cancelled. When in doubt, ask the votetaker.
Common errors include quoting the entire article and sending your vote
to the vote-takers personal address. Either of these two could result
in your vote not being counted.
