Yes = 49 No = 2 Abstain = 6 - ------------------------------- Valid vote Total = 57 The vote easily passes as Yes >=no+12, 49>14 therefore passing the +12 rule. VOTETAKERS VOTE'S COMMENT There were a number of invalid votes for a number of reasons they are outlined in the voting summary - only one valid vote was disallowed and that was because it bounced, it is not included in the results above. Votes listed below as being incomplete were rejected due to the omission of the placeholders around the vote which must not be "removed" for clarity. Two Html votes were counted because they were sent multipart and I could read them because of that - this was raised with my fellow votetakers and in future I will no longer be counting them as valid. html is not excepted within uk.* usenet, html is not mail. One person voted muliple times - but they were all from the same name and address. Voters please note once you get an ack your vote is valid, sending it multiple times does not get you multiple votes. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rationale: UK discussions relating to Quake2 are currently held in uk.games.computer.quake, leading to confusion and frustration when it is not clear which game (Quake or Quake2) is being discussed as both games share similar terminology. Newsgroups such as alt.games.quake2 avoid this problem and are certainly very popular but lack the UK focus of uk.games.computer.quake which is so important when discussing local servers and sites and developing a sense of community. The creation of uk.games.computer.quake2 would address these issues and provide a forum for UK players to discuss the game within an unambiguous context.. - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Charter: uk.games.computer.quake2 Discussion of Quake2. uk.games.computer.quake2 is for the discussion of all aspects of Quake2 within the UK. Advertising is not permitted. Encoded binaries (e.g. pictures, word processor files, .zip files etc), HTML, or similar non-plaintext postings are not permitted on this group.
