Thanks for the responses, good or bad, to my posting the other day. I personally regard the multiplayer feature of the kali supported games to be only one, albeit important, of a list of features which augment a modern game. A newsgroup dedicated to a particular game or genre already serve as a place where players can find help to solve their problems, including kali-related ones. This I think is be a better method at finding specific discussions according to game title rather than having a newsgroup where all kali-related problems are discussed. Several sites already provide good FAQ's on Kali, as well as multiplayer strategies for the games. Don't get me wrong; Kali kicks major butt, but I just think a dedicated kali newsgroup would end up a place for people to show off their prowess at multiplayer bloodfests (nothing wrong with that, come to think of it :) ). A newbie would get faster and better results by looking up "kali", "FAQ", and "games" on any search engine, or the Kali homepage. Instead of a kali newsgroup, why not have a site where the best killscores are recorded, unless there's already one. Or where national/international championships are hosted every year like the Battletech VR? And yes, kali chat rooms are not very helpful on anything else other than looking for someone to reduce to a pool of bloody pulp. The above is my opinion and no one else's. Now let me put on my asbestos underwear >:) Best regards to all. Ray
