American Civil War Game Club (ACWGC)

Officers of the club,

We have had time for public discussion and debate on the motion on revising the club rule regarding games.

The Cabinet has approved a rule change to include another sanctioned club game, Gary Grigsby's "War Between the States". Following is the specific wording of the rule change:

1.1. American Civil War Game Club (hereinafter referred to as ‘the ACWGC’ or simply ‘the Club’) has been formed to play American Civil War computer games. These games are currently the Talonsoft/Matrix Games and HPS Simulations American Civil War games designed by John Tiller, as well as the game Forge of Freedom (FoF), by Matrix Games, and American Civil War: The Blue & the Gray (AACW), by AGEod, and <b><font color="orange">Gary Grigsby's War Between the States</font id="orange"></b>. A friendly gaming and social atmosphere is the standard for all and we welcome players of all experience levels.


It is time now to vote on the proposed rule change. To vote, send your vote from your official club email address (as listed in the Department of Records) to all three of the following Election Committee Members:

Ernie Sands – waryor (AT)gmail(DOT)com
Mark Nelms - nelmsm(AT)amaonline(DOT)com
Willie Tisdale – TheGrayFoxCSA(AT)msn(DOT)com

(If you can't interpret the above, just get our addresses from the Department of Records, under Reports. Mark and I can be found in the USA Roster; Willie is in the CSA Roster.)

If you are in favor of the motion as it now reads, vote 'Yes'. If you are against the motion, vote 'No'.

To be sure we can find your ballot among all the junk mail we receive, please put the following in your subject line:

<b><font color="red">"ACWGC - Proposed Rule Change, Games - Ballot"</font id="red"></b>

Also, to make it easier on us to verify you have sent your ballot to all three of us, include all three of us in the same ballot -- please don't send it to the three of us individually.

Today is Sunday, July 27, 2008. Votes will be accepted for the next two weeks, through Saturday, August 9, 2008. If you have any questions, please send them to all three of the Election Committee members listed above.

I expect we'll see a formal announcement but it did pass.

Officer of the Club,

My apologies for the miscommunication. Yes, as General Nelms has pointed out, the motion did pass. Gary Grigsby's "War Between the States" is now an officially-sanctioned ACWGC game.

The posted club rules will be updated in the near future to reflect this change.


Your humble servant,
Gen 'Dee Dubya' Mallory
