DC group work = Canon Version 1.5

[kato13]

Since the DC group canon "debate" seems to be bubbling up again, I have say the following.

If the DC Group ever decides to post their work and if this is still an active forum at the time I am unilaterally declaring their work to be Canon version 1.5 . This will be the law of the land on MY forum.

Given their volume of research, the fact that they have worked longer and harder than anyone else (including the original GDW staff, but probably excluding Paul) and they have been given an approving nod by one of the games creators, I personally feel this is fair. It will also end this argument once an for all. I have literally agonized over this decision because as most of you know I am a pretty light handed admin and imposing my will on others is not something I am comfortable with. However for the overall greater good of the T2k world I feel this has to be done.

Of course anyone can chose to ignore any or all portions of the New 1.5 canon version or to consider it to be as radical of a departure from the V 1.0 canon as version 3.0 is.

I considered putting this up to a vote but did not want the hassle nor ambiguity of an internet poll as any such poll is susceptible to fraud.

However if someone considers this to be an egregious abuse of my admin powers you are free to seek another person to host the forum. If someone else wishes to host the site, a poll must be created on moving the whole site (lock, stock and barrel) to a new location. Such a poll must be posted within the next 90 days or within 45 days of the DC groups posting of their material, it must be anonymous, it must last at least 45 days, and it will be determined by a simple majority. I don't feel the need to worry about fraud on this one because if someone wants to commit fraud to remove me as admin then I really don't want to be here.

If such a vote goes against my continued operation of the site, I will do all the work necessary to move the site including donating my copy of the software to the cause.

Thank you for your attention on this.
