Star Wars CCG (Decipher), Raw Deal CCG, Highlander CCG
All games that have come before UFS, all games that UFS shares elements from. All games that have gone to great CCG Graveyard in the Sky.
The other thing that they all have in common is a group working together to develop "virtual" sets that can be printed out, organizing tournaments, and keeping the game going.
Some games still keep holding their worlds at Gencon (Raw Deal), while others rotate the venue through different cities (SW:CCG).
I submit to you, the UFS players that we organize a UFS players committee.
Why would the community want a players committee? Let me ask some questions:
How much have you spent on UFS?
Did you have fun playing it?
Do you really want to stop playing UFS?
The players committee is a way for you to continue to get value out of the cards that you purchased. Including that brand new SCIV stuff.
Putting some stuff clearly on the table:
- I do not need to run this organization / players committee. Heck, if people don't want me involved, and they want to go off and do whatever - that's fine by me.
- I will offer to advise, give advice, and suggestions on the organization of the committee. (Having done it with Raw Deal, I have some insight on how to do it)
- I offer the resources of TCO. At the same time, Aslum's site may be a better option at the moment.
- If the committee wants me to continue doing official rulings as UFS rules Arbiter, I will continue to do so for the time being, but for the love of whatever you celebrate at this time of year... I want back up arbiters so someone else can write *stamp* too.
- If you are wanting UFS to be at Gencon, have space, etc, etc, etc for Worlds - decisions are going to have to be made about who is responsible for booking it, who is responsible for running it, and what formats are going to be used. All of that is going to have to be done probably by the end of January to make it into the Gencon program book, and be assured space.
At the end of the day, I'm putting this out there, so that the people who want to keep playing UFS can put their flag in the sand, and say "I'm in."
