COMMENTS:
I propose the creation of alt.games.unreal, a newsgroup for the
exchange of information (but NOT binaries) related to Unreal.

"Unreal" is a computer game in the first-person-shooter genre, which
was released last Friday (22 May 1998).  It is most similar to Quake2,
and since many Q2 fans purchased Unreal, there have been a large
number of postings to the Q2 newsgroup (alt.games.quake2) over the
weekend, and accordingly a growing number of posts objecting to the
deluge and urging the creation of a seperate Unreal newsgroup.

CHARTER:
This newsgroup would be without any rules except the subject matter
must relate to Unreal (and no binaries).

JUSTIFICATION:
A perusal of alt.games.quake2 will provide numerical evidence of the
substantial interest in such a group (as a compromise on the Q2
newsgroup, all posts about Unreal are required to have "unreal" be the
first word in the subject line, so readers who are uninterested can
avoid them -- but it makes it easier to see how many there are) -- and
note tht all of this is for a game in release for just a few days (and
stores have been unable to keep the game in stock...).
