reaped for age or cause? Either seems to suggest something, but
I'm not sure what, at the moment..

Who, brenda? In which case the ascii conference is fw-less, too, but that
doesn't seem to be an issue right now, 'cause it's quite dead anyways.

Well, kain gandalf and z0mbie all have unread mail - most likely including
the note I sent them to link this item. They seem to be either on vacation
or not grexing for the time being...

Hmm. That's nice to know. It probably won't be changed much by then. Due
to technical difficulties yesterday, I was unable to write the battlescript
and even if I had, I wouldn't have been able to upload it until late in the
day. Well, thanks for joining jenna!! Maybe I can get this show on the road
again soon (considering that I work a normal 8 hour shift today but have
tomorrow, Monday, and Wednesday off . . .)

I certainly don't have a problem with the merger (hell, greatring and rpg are
almost synonymous, aside from CCG and CRPG discussion in RPG occasionally).
Regarding names, why not just call the new conference "Gaming"? I
suppose I could also be called FRP, but it wouldn't be a bad thing to have the
board gaming traffic (the non-existent board gaming traffic, that is) there
as well, as it has at least as much to do with RPGs as Computer games do.

So our current proposed conference merger names are:
Gaming
FRP
Are there any other suggestions, anyone?

Hmm...
One possible name I've been thinking of is Realms, being as most such games
involve an imaginary setting. It's a bit less obvious what the conference
is about, though...

I've actually thought of some names, and then noticed (mostly) copyright
problems with a lot of them . . .

Well, actually I thought of calling it somthing like Amalagam, but that's DC's
and Marvel's collectively . . .

Do you really think that a big company like those would get upset just because
you're using a work that they happening to be using also? It's not like
you're illegally selling their goods or anything.

Amalgam is not a word that I would use in searching for a gaming conference.
Think about being on a new system. What keywords would you use to find these
different topics? Gaming or games is one of the first that comes to my mind.
role playing, rpg, rpgs, muds, board games, all of those are words that I
would try long before I got to amalgam. (OK, I'll confess, that is not a word
I would *ever* use in trying to find this conference.).

Well, we could be TOTALLY ridiculous and combine those names into a word .
. .
or we could just search for more before we decide to take a vote.
