).Andy,
November will mark the two-year point when Experimental Rules for Epic were first discussed in earnest on the Specialist Games forum. Do date, nothing has been put out by the ERC or SG that would constitute an updated set of rules.
While we understand that SG might be burdened with difficult times, you do have the luxury of a very active community that is more than capable of completing this work fairly quickly (2-3 months) where the current ERC has failed to deliver.
This is nothing personal against the members. We simply want results and we are willing to do the work ourselves. We would like to hold public elections where
the community can choose the ERC members. These elections would be our way of holding people accountable to doing exactly what they volunteered for.
At the same time, we realize that doing something like this would be very difficult without you legitimizing the new ERC and the work they produce. With that said, we are looking for you to make a decision on allowing and endorsing open elections for the ERC position. These new ERC positions would come with the caveat that you or Jervis can veto and change any decision made by the ERC at any time, including who sits on the committee.
Our goal is simply to move things along and produce results. For whatever reason, those results are not happening currently. Even if the current ERC were to put out something tomorrow, we are concerned that the same thing will happen the next time around when the army lists are under review. We do not want to wait another two years for the core armies and rules to be reviewed and placed in pdf documents.
Respectfully submitted,
Feedback please.
