Fair enough.  Get those involved (and those who might be affected) and have
a vote.  I assume these are the choices:


Voting is not an accurate way of deciding much of anything, especially when
fairness is the goal.  Being that we are on Lugnet, a site owned by the
'tyranny' of Todd Lehman and Suzanne Rich, we are subject to their rules.

please see below.

Where should development of the rules of a CastleQuest RPG be discussed:

1. lugnet.castle
2. lugnet.fun.gaming
3. a new group just for CQ, such as lugnet.castle.cq
4. another message board establish off of lugnet just for CQ
5. email only
6. in person
7. some other forum not mentioned here
8. not at all


" lugnet.fun.gaming– LEGO-centered gaming: puzzles, building challenges,
role-playing games, strategy games, treasure hunts, etc. "

" lugnet.castle– LEGO SYSTEM Castle™: products (information, opinions, reviews,
etc.); building (settings, contexts, characters, projects, models, layouts,
plans, tools, tips, etc.); inspiration (ideas, movies, books, literature,
magazines, music, historical events, etc., as they relate to Castle); etc. "

in other words .castle = products, buildings, and inspiration.
lugnet.fun.gaming = RPGs.

MM was *developed* in emails between the respective designers.  Development of
the game should go somewhere similiar.  If it should stay in castle discussion,
I think it should at least be aware of those who'd rather it not be here:

Of course, fairness is in the eye of the beholder, but I think it would be only
fair.  Nitpicking about stats and rules, and generally un-defined brainstorming
isn't particularly interesting for whoever isn't directly interested in the
game.  Especially when brainstorms devolves into arguments about D&D vs. other
games.

But since I brought it up, I think a strict following of the rules would
dictate the postings be in both .castle and .fun.gaming .

What I would like is that subject line clearly designate what the focus of the
conversation is.  Recently in .castle certain discussions have evolved into
sub-discussions that really should start their own chain.  the result is the
horribly long and complicated string like this one:

Personally, I VOTE for 2, 4, or 5.

If these were the choices, I would vote for #2, and suggest just advertising
CQ on occasion in .castle during announcements.  Actually, I would agree
that, if the game can prove a following, then #3 would be good too, but
establishing a new group doesn't seem to be easy to do and could take a while.

For the record, the gang involved in SS used option #4.

Sorry if I upset anyone, but I thought I was pleasing others...

ps. you were doing good.

(...) I am just stirring up trouble left in right lately. Maybe my thoughts are not in line with some of the other posters in .castle or this thread. Should I just stop and not contribute? (I mean these comments with a touch of humor, though if (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jan-03, to lugnet.castle)
