Please Vote -- proposal to archive mahjong/poker games

from Pat (laffaye@mail.com)
I am conducting a vote to determine whether or not Mahjong and Poker style games of low skil be archived (i.e. eliminated from MARP). There would be an impact to LB scoring so understand that any current and future INPs submitted for these games would receive a score of zero, so your LB score total will be reduced accordingly.

This idea was originally proposed by Q.T. Quazar and he makes the following points:

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 anything 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?

Thanks for your time and please vote as follows: A) Let's archive these types of games B) Let's keep everything as is
