3DTT - Debate now in session..............
Posted: 27 Dec 1999 00:00
I for one think 3DTT is an excellent game, and surely will be very popular,
but this post is perhaps on a more serious matter. During this post, I will
remain impartial, and present the cases of both sides.
Usher: All rise for Chairman Eddie Bernard. Debate is now in session.
<ALL RISE>
</ALL RISE>
OK, whatever. Now the case I can see clearly on
Alt.Games.Microprose.Transport-Tyc (AGMT-T) is the overwhelming amount of
posts recently on the topic of 3DTT. Here I am going to present the facts
about the current situation. As Chairman, I will "oversee" this little
debate, and I will make this short opening speech. Please remember that
views expressed in this speech are not neccesarily the views of myself.
MOTION PROPOSED: 3DTT should move to it's own newsgroup.
Recently, there has been a surge in the number of posts on this newsgroup
regarding the game 3DTT by Way-X. These posts are not "swamping" the group
down, but they are accounting for a good majority of the traffic to this
newsgroup at the present moment. It is common Usenet practice, that if a
faction in a group is believed to be too large, then a group split could be
in order. Some suggestions are:
alt.games.3dtt
alt.games.way-x.3dtt
A Dejanews search for the string "3DTT" reveals 120 articles in the past two
months (not including this post). Most of these have been posted here, but
there are other groups too. A group could be created, but before that, a
reliable estimate must be made on the outcome and the remnants of AGMT-T.
Creating a group of 3DTT, could effectively end the life of AGMT-T. But, to
salvage, perhaps there could be cross-posting between the two groups. There
is also the possiblity that the new group might be a complete failure, as no
one is willing to ask their ISP to include the group on their server, or
perhaps is not accepted as a reasonable proposal on Alt.Config.
HOWEVER ; this could give rise to the devastating effects of cross-group
flaming.
Before we begin this discussion, I would like two people to present a case.
One FOR the motion, and another AGAINST.
Please do not begin this discussion until there has been a reply presented
FOR and AGAINST.
If you would like to propose a FOR arguement, please reply to this post,
inserting [FOR] in the subject.
If you would like to propose an AGAINST arguement, please reply to this
post, inserting [AGAINST] in the subject.
*PLEASE* - Do not make comments on anything I have said. These are only
opening statements to get you thinking. By all means, if you wish to use
them in your arguements, then please do so.
Thank you very much for your attention in this matter,
Eddie B
