From ainslie@cloud9.u-net.com Mon Nov 11 19:07:25 1996 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: ainslie@cloud9.u-net.com (Alastair Ainslie) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.misc,comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic,comp.sys.mac.games.strategic,comp.sys.mac.games.misc,rec.games.computer.stars Subject: RFD: rec.games.computer.masteroforion Followup-To: news.groups Date: 12 Nov 1996 00:07:18 -0000 Organization: .

This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) for the creation of a world-wide unmoderated Usenet newsgroup rec.games.computer.masteroforion. This is not a Call for Votes (CFV); you cannot vote at this time. Procedural details are below. RATIONALE: rec.games.computer.masteroforion Microprose's Master of Orion is a complex empire-building game set in space. Since its release in 1993, the wide variety of tactics and strategy possible have made it a hardy perennial in comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic. Three years later, www.dejanews.com counts over 1000 posts that mention 'MOO' (as the game is commonly known) in the first 10 months of 1996. What is more, it counts over 2000 more posts that mention 'MOO2', Master of Orion 2: Battle at Antares. This sequel is promised for late November 1996, after which comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic promises to be overwhelmed, if the level of anticipation is any guide. http://sunsite.unc.edu/usenet-i/groups-html/comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic.html counts 259 messages a day in this group, which will soar towards Christmas 1996 as a number of other long-awaited strategy games are released. So the original game probably deserved to have its own newsgroup in its own right, and the sequel promises to have even more alternative strategies and customisations to discuss. It will also incorporate a multiplayer option, which will be a further source of discussion (and technical problems). An analogy may be drawn with the similar game Stars!, for which the group rec.games.computer.stars was created in early 1996 after a consistently high level of traffic in comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic CHARTER: rec.games.computer.masteroforion rec.games.computer.masteroforion is for the discussion of all issues relating to the computer game 'Master of Orion', developed by Simtex and published by Microprose, Inc . It is also intended for the discussion of any sequels to Master of Orion, such as Master of Orion 2: Battle at Antares, again developed by Simtex, and published by Spectrum Holobyte, Inc under the Microprose brand. Any version of Master of Orion (and sequels) may be discussed here, regardless of the computer operating system under which it runs. No other games should be discussed here; such postings belong in comp.sys.mac.games.strategic, comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic, or whatever other newsgroup is most appropriate. Neither commercial messages nor binary files should be posted to the group. END CHARTER. PROCEDURE: This is a request for discussion, not a call for votes. In this phase of the process, any potential problems with the proposed newsgroups should be raised and resolved. The discussion period will continue for a minimum of 21 days (starting from when the first RFD for this proposal is posted to news.announce.newgroups), after which a Call For Votes (CFV) may be posted by a neutral vote taker if the discussion warrants it. Please do not attempt to vote until this happens. All discussion of this proposal should be posted to news.groups. This RFD attempts to comply fully with the Usenet newsgroup creation guidelines outlined in "How to Create a New Usenet Newsgroup" and "How to Format and Submit a New Group Proposal". Please refer to these documents (available in news.announce.newgroups) if you have any questions about the process.

HOW TO VOTE: Send email to: jjd@primenet.com Your email message should contain one and only one of the following statements: I vote YES on rec.games.computer.masteroforion I vote NO on rec.games.computer.masteroforion You may also vote ABSTAIN or CANCEL. ABSTAIN does not affect the final vote count in any way but is listed in the final voting results. CANCEL removes any earlier vote and is not listed in the final voting results. VOTING PROCEDURE NOTES: Standard Guidelines for voting apply. One account per person and one vote per person. 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: If you don't follow these directions then your vote may not get counted. If you do not receive an acknowledgment of your vote within several days, contact the votetaker about the problem. It's your responsibility to make sure that your vote is registered correctly. 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 in people who would read a proposed newsgroup. Soliciting votes from disinterested people 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.
