Subject: A New FT List?
Tim Jones' webpage at: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Station/3565/ makes mention of a new (weel unknown to me) FT/GZG mailing list. He has the subscription details on the page. I am not exactly sure what is going on but I think you should be told that something is going on.

> Tim Jones' webpage at: > the subscription details on the page. Nothing untoward is going on. The list in question is one that was created on the side to discuss topics that were more relevant to, oh, PBeM game formats and how to automate things better. As the pioneer of the FT PBeM games, I was doing everything by hand ;-). So a handful of players, Tim among them, decided there were better ways of doing things, like automating detection reports, etc, (and they really wished I would have stuck with some sort of consistent format during my various scenarios ;-) so part of the drive was to discuss those topics on that list. The list was created to pull traffic off the main FTGZG list as for a while there was a fair volume of mail on these topics. Said list hasn't seen much traffic for some months now though (unless I've been taken off for some odd reason). Been very quiet. Folks prolly too busy with other projects (and I haven't had time to run any scenarios lately for them to start berating me about consistencies in my detection reports ;-) ;-). Mk
