There is a five day discussion period after these results are posted. If
no serious allegations of voting irregularities are raised, the moderator
of news.announce.newgroups will create the group shortly thereafter.
Newsgroups lines:
rec.games.computer.quake.playing Playing Quake and user-created levels.
rec.games.computer.quake.servers Setup and maintenance of servers.
The voting period ended at 23:59:59 UTC, 9 May 1996.
This vote was conducted by a neutral third party. Questions about the
proposed group should be directed to the proponent. Questions about the
vote itself should be directed to the votetaker.
Proponent: Raphael Quinet
Votetaker: David Bostwick
RATIONALE: all groups
The computer game Quake, written by id Software (the makers of Doom)
was already very popular even before the first demo version was
released (on the 24th of February). Last year, on the 10th of
November, the first three groups in the rec.games.computer.quake.*
hierarchy passed their vote. Their creation was delayed until the 8th
of January because of possible trademark problems regarding the name
of the game, but they are available now. These are: r.g.c.q.announce,
r.g.c.q.editing, r.g.c.q.misc. The latter replaces the old group
alt.games.quake, which got more than 1800 articles per month until it
was removed or aliased to r.g.c.q.misc (on some servers, at least).
Since its creation, r.g.c.q.misc has received an average of more than 2000
articles per month, and the traffic is still increasing. Only three
groups were created at first, because we didn't want to create too many
groups about a game which was not yet available (read the section "why
three groups?" in the RFD for r.g.c.q.{announce,editing,misc}, which is
available on ftp.uu.net). But now that a first version of Quake has been
distributed, it is necessary to add new groups to the Quake hierarchy in
order to cover the new topics and even out the traffic. Statistics from
AltNet's server show that the traffic averaged 400-450 articles a day
during two weeks after the release of the test version of Quake. A new
test release or the shareware release will probably raise the traffic even
more. The most important addition to the existing hierarchy is a .playing
group which will cover all gameplay issues.
A mailing list dedicated to the technical discussion of Quake servers
had been running for several months (with 170+ subscribers), but had
to be closed because its traffic was too high. It has now been
restarted on a new server, but a newsgroup dedicated to this subject
has been requested several times, in order to reach a wider audience
and help more people who want to start their own server. Hence the
proposal for r.g.c.q.servers.
CHARTER: all groups
In general, cross-posting among discussion groups is strongly
discouraged. Articles posted to .announce can be cross-posted to
other relevant groups.
No binaries should be posted in these groups. When relevant, short
excerpts of source code or configuration files may be included in an
article, but binaries and code in general should be posted in a more
appropriate alt.binaries group: alt.binaries.games.quake.
END CHARTER.
CHARTER: rec.games.computer.quake.playing
Discussion about playing original or user-written Quake levels takes
place here. Topics include:
- how to complete the levels (in the original game or modified
versions) and how to find the weapons and secrets areas,
- playing tactics and keyboard/mouse movement techniques,
- discussions and comparisons of user-written levels,
- multi-player games and tournaments,
- announcements of new levels (if not already posted in .announce),
- announcements of new servers and how to connect to them.
Non-play-related topics belong in the .misc group.
END CHARTER.
CHARTER: rec.games.computer.quake.servers
This group is for technical discussion of Quake servers. It should
serve as a forum in which maintainers of public servers can exchange
information about the configuration of Quake servers. Setup questions
about large public servers (TCP/IP or modem) as well as local servers
(on a LAN running IPX or TCP/IP) can be posted here.
Announcements of new servers should be posted in .announce and may be
crossposted to .playing, but they should not be posted here.
Discussion about how to use a server from the client side (i.e. how to
play a multiplayer game) belongs in the .playing group.
END CHARTER.
