Rulings Announcement Mailing List

Pascal,

Will you be continuing LSJ's ruling mailing list on Yahoo?

games.groups.yahoo.com/group/vtes-rules/

It hasn't had a new post in about a year, but still has 270+ interested parties...

Sure, if something happens over there, I'll find a way to answer questions that might pop.
I probably need to create some Yahoo! account, but that should be easy - I hope.

I think that you shouldn't, Pascal. We have a dead game and the last thing we need is to continue the fracturing of the player base.

With respect to the people on that list, there's absolutely zero reason that they cannot come here and read what's going on and post a question if they wish. This will do absolutely nothing except unify the player base and show them a single, working, reliable place to come to for all their VTES needs, and, in the future, a higher number of users here *may* be a factor in a company republishing VTES.

As long as there are people playing this game, they might have rules questions. No doubt that, with no answer to their rules questions, they'll lose interest in the game.

We have a game that is almost dead, and the last thing we need is to lose what's left (players & motivation).

I don't guarantee a full-time presence over there.

On the other side, it would be a nice move to garner lost sheep wandering off the right and narrow, with a message such as Robert Goudie's.

The VtES rulings Yahoo was read only. Lsj would post rulings there periodically that he had made on the newsgroup or while wolf forum or IRC. It was a good resource for those not too interested in the discussions, just the outcomes.

Inform those people that rules questions will be answered here, with the added benefit of cardlists, compiled rulings/erratas etc.

I'm here with Kevin, we need to get our players united in one place that is great. Which is VEKN.NET.

The NG is in their dying stage right now, and BGG is ... ahem ... low traffic at best.

VEKN.NET is the place where VTES lives.
