Well, I'm back!  Despite problems in late spring and over the summer, I
have triumphantly returned to the Ethernet.  To celebrate my return, I am
throwing open the gauntlet of challenge to all those who are becoming bored 
with the games.pbm notesfile being monopolized by the Dippy players.  I am
announcing...

PLAY-BY-MAIL GAME-A-THON
------------ -----------

That's right!  Now is your opportunity to start up another game on the net
other than Diplomacy.  I'd like to start in early September, so I am giving 
all of you the opportunity to speak.  Send me your requests, either as replies
to this note in the notesfile or E-mailed to me personally, about what game
you would like to play on the network.  One regulation to note: it has to be
one playable by electronic conveyance!

Once I receive enough people expressing interest in one game, I place an
announcement in this notesfile.  If someone else would like to GM, I'm
perfectly willing to go along with that; I enjoy playing as much as running.

I am not going to place a specific deadline on receiving ideas, but I'd like
them by the first week in September.  Thank you, and good gaming!
