Proposal to move all mahjongg/poker games to archives

I am proposing to the RC, Pat, that all mahjongg/poker games be placed in the archives (*).

The issues, as I see them, are:

1) Are these games worthy of watching/learning? Is there value in having them as a part of points competition? If so, what do they test - reflexes, skill, planning, etc.?

2) Are these really arcade games, in anyhting beyond the literal sense? Some versions of pachinko could be considered arcade games, but require far more luck than skill...

3) Are these games that will attain, at a point, higher scores only due to luck, and not due to a player's skill?

After debate, I would ask Pat to propose a vote on this issue.

Thank-you all. Q.T.Quazar
