Should the entire membership vote to let a group form for a game?

The 5 minimum people rule has worked before. So long as there's interest in the game the group should be allowed to exist.

It doesn't seem necessary, since we have a pretty standard metric to judge the formation of a group. I don't see why the SSX as a whole would want to deny players a game anyway.

I was thinking it might be useful to avoid creating groups that vanish as soon as they form. Best way to know whether or not that will happen, is to ask :)

So I asked :)

I agree with Fut, so long as there are at least 5 peeps then it should go alright. Don't think we've had any probs doing it that way before have we?

I see where ur comin from tho Quiz...

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

I dont think it's necessary. It's quite obvious whether a game has group potential or not -- if a lot of people play it, it's only natural to form one, but even if it isn't, the main forums are always there for it :)

I don't think thats needed. The 5 person thing usually worked well before.

Well, not everything worked that well before ;)

Seems pretty unanimous so far, though.

I like having a sounding board for this stuff :)

Yeah, some divisions came and went within a couple weeks, but I don't think the failure of the Red Faction division was what tore apart the SSC. ;)

There was a Red Faction division? :lol: Didn't even notice. Of course if it came and went before Nov. '02, I wasn't there yet.

Say 5 minimum is enough to start a group, with a vote if someone raises an 'objection'? I can't think of a better word for it, objection is a bit harsh, but basically say let it start unless someone believes it will die quickly or whatever, in which case a vote is held?

I don't see the harm in it if it fails.

If it fails, it fails.

Fair enough. This is hardly a critical issue. Like i said, it's good to have a sounding board.

In what way?

Not sure we need to codify too much, but, toss out the idea big man.

I'd put it as

5 people
3 weeks (that's the new part)
Active threads in General. (so is this one)

You need to need a new forum in order for one to be created. Just my opinion.
