On BGG, the only consistency in this sort of thing is the inconsistency. Unfortunately.
Some of us have been advocating formalizing (and publishing!) policies and procedures for this sort of thing (among other areas) for years, rather than continuing to run things seat-of-the-pants, tribal-knowledge, I-know-it-when-I-see-it stylee. We've been met with a resounding silence, or, occasionally, derision from those with a vested interest in protecting their fiefdom/"power". I've pretty much given up on this sort of thing; they are way too far down the path they are on, and the people who could effect change have very little interest in improving processes/outcomes if it infringes on what they see as their prerogatives. So, every so often, I'll pipe up in discussions like this, but it's pretty much just tilting at windmills. :/ Chris On Tue, Jul 10, 2012 at 1:43 PM, ralpher <[email protected]> wrote: > The database has a way to deal with new editions by putting them under the > same game name.
