(yes I've played Hack/rogue, PSL Empire, and all the other neato games out there...including all the PC games) net.games is at times an exercise in frustration - I'd like to communicate with people who play board games like Monop, Risk, Diplomacy etc. etc. and card games like cribbage, rummy and (with fake cards) Mille Bourne, Uno (both tm) and so on. There is soooo much computer game oriented traffic, though, that it's a hassle even to read the group let alone post to it! I vote for this group splitting into the following two (the names can be changed to protect the innocent) net.games.comp - computer games, PC & UNIX type net.games.board - board and card games and so on. while we're at it, how about: net.games.vote-on-new-group - for notes like this one :-) -- Dave Taylor ..ihnp4 \ ..decvax!hplabs \ !hpfcla!d_taylor ..ucbvax!hplabs / ..hpbbn /
