This probably won't even get off the ground, but what the heck...

In a bid to encourage original thoughts and ideas, I propose the following challenge to all users of this forum:

-----

From midnight tonight - Friday 2nd March 2001 - until midnight on Friday 30th March 2001 (that's exactly four weeks), no REGULAR contributor to this particular forum shall post ANY message (either in a new or existing thread) relating to "The Console Wars".

You may discuss the pros and cons of any machine on its own, but there is to be nothing along the lines of "Console X is better than Console Y because..."

Any threads started by 'newbies' on such subjects are to be ignored, tempting as it may be. So that we don't appear to be rude, you may direct them to this thread so that they understand what's going on. Any 'newbie' replies to existing Console Wars threads are to be treated similarly.

This appies to this Forum (The Future Of Gaming) only - what you post anywhere else is up to you.

What do you say then guys - is it a daft idea, or are you up for the challenge?

I refuse to march anywhere!



Okay, meka_dragon will not start any more threads entitled "Console Wars" or refering to them.

I will compare not the stats and appearances of consoles, but games!
