NAME:          comp.sys.ibm.pc.games  	Group names have previously been discussed on rec.games.misc, 	and the overwhelming favorite, because of the previous precedent of 	groups such as comp.sys.mac.games, comp.sys.amiga.games, and 	comp.binaries.ibm.pc, is comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.  It is recognized that 	"ibm.pc" does not cover the entire range of machines which are 	affected by this group, such as PS/2s and other software compatibles. 	However, "ibm.pc" seems to be the recognized name for this group of 	machines in the rest of the hierarchy.  STATUS:         unmoderated  CHARTER:  	To provide a forum for the discussion of games which run on 	the IBM PC family of computers.  	For example: 	  o Discussion of upcoming games 	  o Discussion of current and past games 	  o Requests for help 	  o Hints 	  o Personal sales and trading of games (not copies!) 	  o Discussion of new demos and their locations  	These are taken directly from the current discussions taking place 	on rec.games.misc.  RATIONALE:  	This has been discussed extensively in rec.games.misc prior to this RFD.  It has been much discussed in the past, but failed due to the lack of anyone dumb enough to take on the resulting work.  	The primary motive is to get the huge amount traffic regarding IBM games off of rec.games.misc, where it now dominates the group.  PC compatible users can read only about their games, if they choose, and those who aren't interested in them will have a much less unwieldy rec.games.misc, where other games under its charter can be discussed more freely.  	A quick poll was taken on rec.games.misc, which resulted in over 50 email letters in a single day from those who were very interested in creating the new group.  This hopefully will make it almost a certainty that the excess of 100 yes votes will be gathered. Both groups (the PC users and the non-PC users) have expressed support for this move.  	Comments on the group creation and name are welcome.  Please post all responses on   	news.groups  which is the followup group for this message, and not on rec.games.misc.  --  The earth is like a tiny grain of sand, only much, much heavier.  --  It's like deja vu all over again.  -- Yogi Berra  From [email protected] Sun Apr 19 21:35:50 1992 Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:2196 news.groups:48301 rec.games.misc:32707 comp.sys.amiga.games:15807 comp.sys.mac.games:10946 rec.games.video:30127 comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc:22773 comp.os.msdos.misc:6740 comp.windows.ms:28956 comp.os.os2.misc:14324 Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,rec.games.misc,comp.sys.amiga.games,comp.sys.mac.games,rec.games.video,comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc,comp.os.msdos.misc,comp.windows.ms,comp.os.os2.misc Path: uunet!uunet!bounce-back From: [email protected] (Ron Dippold) Subject: CFV:  comp.sys.ibm.pc.games Message-ID: <[email protected]> Followup-To: poster Sender: [email protected] (David C Lawrence) Organization: Qualcomm, Inc., San Diego, CA Date: Tue, 7 Apr 1992 15:53:04 GMT Approved: [email protected] Lines: 96  OFFICIAL CALL FOR VOTES FOR NEW GROUP  NAME: 	comp.sys.ibm.pc.games  STATUS: 	unmoderated  CHARTER: 	To provide a forum for the discussion of games for the IBM PC or 	compatible machines.

VOTING:          This vote will run from now till 23:59 GMT, Monday, May 4, 1992.         The date/time on your message must be before this time, or it will         not be counted.  Only votes recieved by email as detailed below         will be counted.           There will be two other CFVs and mass Acknowledgements during         this time.  The final acknowledgement and totals postings will         be done on Wednesday, May 6, 1992.  	Send all votes to  		[email protected]  	(You can just reply to this post...) Our mail is usually very 	reliable, but if it bounces, try again later.  	The first line of your post should be either  		I vote YES on comp.sys.ibm.pc.games  	or 		I vote NO on comp.sys.ibm.pc.games  	You may add comments below that, but only the first line will 	be used to determine your vote.  If you use YES and NO in that 	line, your vote will be discarded.   MY ACTIONS:  	I did the RFD for comp.sys.ibm.pc.games and am doing the CFV. 	This group has not been particularly controversial.  To keep it 	that way, I will not be discussing the proposal in any way which 	involves my expressing a positive or negative opinion on it.  I 	will not be doing any public or private campaigning for or against 	it.  I will, on public groups, encourage people to vote, but will 	not take a stand for or against and will encourage both YES and NO 	voters to vote.  I realize that if I do something stupid it could 	throw the new group proposal in jeopardy, so I'll be on best 	behavior.   =======================================================================  MASS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT  This is semi-alphabetical.

It recieved 516 yes votes and 52 no votes, thereby passing both criteria: 100 more yes votes than no votes, and a 2/3 majority of yes votes.  There were some duplicate yes and no votes, but there were no switched votes (and thus no question of which vote was correct).  There were a handful of votes dated after the deadline which have been ignored.  NAME:         comp.sys.ibm.pc.games STATUS:         unmoderated CHARTER:         To provide a forum for the discussion of games for the IBM PC or         compatible machines.  This is not just limited to MS-DOS, but         extends to OS/2, Windows (Yes, it's not really an OS, but...)         and anything else which can run on an IBM PC compatible.      For example (not to be taken as comprehensive):         o Discussion of upcoming games         o Discussion of software companies         o Discussion of current and past games         o Requests for help         o Hints and spoilers         o Personal sales and trading of games.  Not for commercial sales           or piracy.  Any risk assumed is your own.         o Discussion of locations of new demos and ftp sites  The majority of the current rec.games.misc FAQ will be transfered over to comp.sys.ibm.pc.games by the current FAQ-editor.  The votes follow.  If you are listed twice or you didn't get counted, please mention it for completeness.  However, it will take some massive irregularities to change the outcome of the vote.  As a note on the NO votes, the majority of the comments regarded an objection to the name.  Hopefully these people will enjoy the group even though it is "misnamed."

I believe that there could be a need for this as there are lots of frustrating games for ms-dos machines, and probably lots of frustrated people as well!  Therefore, I propose comp.sys.ibm.pc.games, an unmoderated newsgroup for the discussion of games and gaming stratagies that are played on an ms-dos compatible machine running ms-dos.  There is currently both comp.sys.amiga.games, and comp.sys.mac.games, both of which have a relatively healthy amount discussion. Why not add one for ms-dos machines?  Anyway, I probably missed something somewhere as this is my first time posting a CFD, so if I missed anything I sincerely apologize to the net for the waste of bandwidth, but if I haven't, then let's get discussing!  -- Ron Ron Winograd                [email protected]  From [email protected] Tue Sep 12 10:47:05 1995 Xref: rpi news.announce.newgroups:1906 news.groups:40828 rec.games.misc:27232 comp.sys.amiga.games:14781 comp.sys.mac.games:10304 rec.games.design:1783 rec.games.video:26923 rec.games.programmer:5787 comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc:23800 comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc:23801 Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,rec.games.misc,comp.sys.amiga.games,comp.sys.mac.games,rec.games.design,rec.games.video,rec.games.programmer,comp.sys.ibm.pc,comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc Path: rpi!batcomputer!caen!zaphod.mps.ohio-state.edu!usc!wupost!uunet!cancun!rdippold From: [email protected] (Ron Dippold) Subject: RFD:  comp.sys.ibm.pc.games Followup-To: news.groups Sender: [email protected] (David C Lawrence) Organization: Qualcomm, Inc., San Diego, CA Date: Fri, 13 Mar 1992 19:13:41 GMT Approved: [email protected] Lines: 66 Status: RO X-Status:   This is a REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION concerning the creation of an UNMODERATED newsgroup comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.  NAME:          comp.sys.ibm.pc.games  	Group names have previously been discussed on rec.games.misc, 	and the overwhelming favorite, because of the previous precedent of 	groups such as comp.sys.mac.games, comp.sys.amiga.games, and 	comp.binaries.ibm.pc, is comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.  It is recognized that 	"ibm.pc" does not cover the entire range of machines which are 	affected by this group, such as PS/2s and other software compatibles. 	However, "ibm.pc" seems to be the recognized name for this group of 	machines in the rest of the hierarchy.  STATUS:         unmoderated  CHARTER:  	To provide a forum for the discussion of games which run on 	the IBM PC family of computers.  	For example: 	  o Discussion of upcoming games 	  o Discussion of current and past games 	  o Requests for help 	  o Hints 	  o Personal sales and trading of games (not copies!) 	  o Discussion of new demos and their locations  	These are taken directly from the current discussions taking place 	on rec.games.misc.  RATIONALE:  	This has been discussed extensively in rec.games.misc prior to this RFD.  It has been much discussed in the past, but failed due to the lack of anyone dumb enough to take on the resulting work.  	The primary motive is to get the huge amount traffic regarding IBM games off of rec.games.misc, where it now dominates the group.  PC compatible users can read only about their games, if they choose, and those who aren't interested in them will have a much less unwieldy rec.games.misc, where other games under its charter can be discussed more freely.  	A quick poll was taken on rec.games.misc, which resulted in over 50 email letters in a single day from those who were very interested in creating the new group.  This hopefully will make it almost a certainty that the excess of 100 yes votes will be gathered. Both groups (the PC users and the non-PC users) have expressed support for this move.  	Comments on the group creation and name are welcome.  Please post all responses on   	news.groups  which is the followup group for this message, and not on rec.games.misc.  --  The earth is like a tiny grain of sand, only much, much heavier.  --  It's like deja vu all over again.  -- Yogi Berra
