Re: Variant Game Bank

Well, history of Cat23 is what I'm interested in, and there IS a gap 
from that viewpoint. (I know for a fact it doesn't have some of the 
Cat23 designs in it, more on that later)
I foresee two problems with the current Variant Bank I visited.

One, I was led to believe by the wording on the list that ALL 
variants do NOT make that list. It must first pass an 'aproval' 
process.

Two. As a little 'test' I attempted to add some variant rules of my 
own to that bank called Full Disclosure. They have an email form 
setup and if memory serves it says something like somebody will get 
back to me asking for rules. It had a confirmation page that said 
something about my message being sent.
I think that was about three weeks ago...
...tried again a few days ago (last weekend I think)...
to date I haven't heard anything.

I know its 'possible' and my two attempts does not make for a 
precedence...but it would be nice to have something that this 
particular group(Cat23) has control over.
