To all followers of these proposals:

I'd like to direct you to Board & Card Games. B&CG is a StackExchange site that is up and running where your questions are definitely on topic and very welcome.

Let's work together to build one large good site. Several of those proposals have been open for a very long time. B&CG has been open since October. In my opinion, thats a lot of time that we could have been working to build a community on an existing StackExchange site.

StackOverflow manages to survive with both vi and emacs enthusiasts. Not to mention C#, java and perl. I'd like to believe that the various game communities can thrive in close contact as well.

A common objection that I've seen is that expert level players of various games will not join a mixed community. As far as I can tell, that is just conjecture and hasn't been backed up or attempted. For all I know, it could be right. But here's the thing, B&CG is a smaller site. Currently we're getting a couple questions a day. If a new community shows up, and brings a dozen questions on, say, Chess ... well, it's sure going to look like a chess site!

    I am a Go and MTG player and asked/answered several questions considering these games on Board & Card games successfully. Although I considered following the specific proposals for those games, I did not do so because I consider Board & Card games to be the better place for those questions. The specific boards seem like overkill to me.

    Unix&Linux is already covered by SU. AskUbuntu is already covered by SU. I see no logical reason why this isn't a valid proposal. I think at the end of the day the people complaining are scared of losing traffic (MTG is very big).

These proposals are really already covered by broad games or roleplaying games, they should all be closed.

Allowing these sites to continue will have 2 results

  1. Users will be confused about which site to participate in, hurting both sites and proposals.
  2. These proposals are too weak and there is not enough interest to generate the questions necessary for survival. So these thin proposals will probably fail in beta.

    I contend you will not attract a community of expert and enthusiast poker players to a site that is not dedicated to poker, as I explained in my post. It might not have enough support here due to poor advertising (so it might very well fail in beta), but that doesn't mean it should be part of B&CG at all.

    @MichaelMcGowan: You maybe right, but I think there would be the signs of a loud and vocal audience on B&CG before the need to create a separate poker site arose. It maybe that the poker community doesn't know that poker questions are allowed there and once more questions have been asked the community can begin to follow.

    As a general rule of thumb, BlueRaja, if you can write the rules down on a notecard, it's a relatively simple game. This doesn't mean it's an easier game to master, of course, which is how you incorrectly interpreted that statement.

  • @sweaver2112 - Wouldn't a game that is more difficult to master be the game that is more likely to need its own site? Honestly, if people would just read the massive rulebook for MTG, then 90% of the MTG questions on this site, draw3cards.com, and just about any other site would not need to be asked. Add in the additional resources made readily available by WotC, and that probably gets most of that remaining 10%. A SE site shouldn't be used for things people can answer if they just RTFM.

Poker actually refers to not one game but an entire class of games. There are dozens of variants (notably Texas Hold'em, 7-card stud, 5-card draw, etc.). Furthermore there is a distinction between limit and no-limit, tournament and cash games, online and live, and low-stakes and high-stakes. Those are the analogs to C# and Java, not chess and poker. Experts in Texas Hold'em might know very little about 7-card stud, but they don't mind sharing a community. Occasionally the hold'em player might also have a question that the stud player can answer (much like a C# user could help me understand the design patterns I'm implementing in Java).

Poker shares very little in common with the other games. Sure at the abstract level they are games that involve strategy, skill, and practice. However, they do not have much overlap in the communities. You might say that "poker" is on topic at B&CG, but what about a question on range-balancing pre-flop in high-stakes heads-up no-limit Texas Hold'em?

Sure there might be a "poker" tag B&CG, but that is not remotely sufficient for a community of expert and enthusiast poker players. Such a community would need to be able to tag the same question with all of the following hypothetical tags: "fixed-limit", "hold-em", "cash-game", "$10-$20", and "pre-flop". Having those tags (or something similar) would be necessary for a community of expert and enthusiast poker players, but they would seem rather silly (and unwanted) on B&CG.

Imagine if we started StackExchange from scratch without StackOverflow, but there was an SE for "Computers". I feel the analog to what you are doing is telling us that questions tagged "programming" are welcome at the "Computers" site. How do you expect to attract the Jon Skeet's of the world will to your "Computers" site just because you have a "programming" tag? Do you really think having tags for "C#", "OOP", and "generics" is appropriate at a "Computers" SE? Of course not...you need to create StackOverflow. That's what the poker proposal is.

Of course I expect people to respond to this by pointing out that everyone thinks their community is different or special.

EDIT: As a follow-up, I checked out questions tagged "poker" on B&CB. There were 11 such questions, and I would break them down as follows:

  1. 4 questions about basic definitions of terms
  2. 2 questions regarding some basic rules
  3. 1 discussion question
  4. 1 closed question
  5. 3 somewhat basic questions but beyond elementary definitions

Those I suppose are on-topic for B&CG, but the in-depth questions that would attract experts are not really on-topic for B&CG.

Bottom Line

If you want to have a place for people who currently use Stack Exchange to ask an occasional novice poker question, then B&CG would work for that. If you actually want a community of expert and enthusiast poker players, including many who are not already part of the Stack Exchange network, then in my mind the only chance of that happening is with a dedicated poker site. That absolutely will not happen at B&CG. Telling the poker players to join B&CG is useless; I doubt they care whether or not B&CG succeeds. Those arguing for one site either do not understand the poker community at all or they are more concerned with having B&CG succeed than what would be a sensible division of sites. If Poker fails as a site of its own that's fine, it means we didn't recruit well enough. That it might fail on its own does not mean it should be subsumed into B&CG.

    Thanks for the response! The Poker proposal is less than a third of the way there after five months. While you are waiting why not use B&CG where Poker is currently the 10th most tagged game? As you noted, the questions may not be expert level, but it would be awesome if you or other experts could contribute better answers. All I'm saying is to try it out. Make the world a better place with better poker answers (and questions). It looks like you have some time before the Poker SE fires up.

    There's no reason for expert and enthusiast poker players to ask in-depth questions on B&CG. There might be an odd poker expert or two there, but I know there are tons of experts at say twoplustwo.com...a site by and for poker players. The SE network offers some things that 2+2 doesn't, so there could be reasons for experts and enthusiasts to visit a poker-specific SE, but I don't see why they would leave 2+2 to go to B&CG.

    @Michael - your comment indicates that you think the distance between 2+2 and PokerSE would be less than the distance between PokerSE and B&CG. I have a hard time believing that. SE sites are quite distinct from traditional forums. I think moving people from a forum to an SE would be the most difficult part. Whether the SE is specific or generalistic is less important. That aside, how are the answers to the poker and poker-texas-holdem questions on B&CG? Could you improve them?

  • If the proposal were specifically for "Texas Hold'em" then that would be too specific. You have done nothing to even try to convince me that "Poker" is not the correct breakdown, and I made the above arguments regarding a sensible tagging system. Now it might well be that "Poker" fails to attract enough users to form a site of its own, or it might be that SE Q&A format does not work well for poker (something I debated with myself before committing). That's fine, but we can let the community figure that much out.

    I think the real issue might be that B&CG is actually too broad. You've lumped together several mostly unrelated things into what your scope is. As a result, paradoxically you don't have enough true experts. If the site is failing due to lack of traffic, the solution is not to recruit people from largely unrelated topics. Poker players have no interest in whether B&CG succeeds or fails, so I don't think your efforts to recruit them will be fruitful.

    I think you'll find that directing poker players to B&GG will eventually fill it with true experts. I foresee a similar situation to Starcraft 2 on gaming. Yes, experts are needed to answer questions about specific things. No, that does not mean it doesn't belong there. Even if half the question are about Starcraft 2 they still fit in with the rest of the site's content and they are now answered by experts on the site.

    @thethinman Starcraft2 is one game; poker is a family of games generically referring to literally dozens of variants. Those variants each have different classes of game within them (cash/tournament, limit/NL, etc.). You can't just tag a question "poker" (or even "poker-texas-hold'em") and expect fruitful results. Some of poker questions that weren't terrible were tagged with more meaningful tags to indicate this, but those were actually removed by someone at B&CG. So apparently the community does not want to foster an environment for asking detailed questions.

    @Pat Although the system has the ability to do that, the specific instances I'm referring to were a result of humans (boardgames.stackexchange.com/questions/98/… and boardgames.stackexchange.com/questions/109/…). If it's not possible to tag a post as referring to something as fundamental as a "Sit and Go Tournament" (as was attempted and changed by a real live human member of the community), then the site will be pretty pointless for all but novices.

    I've committed to the Poker proposal, and I've been visiting B&CG for a while. I agree that Poker has more depth than, say, UNO, and a Poker-specific SE isn't outside of the realm of feasibility, but the arguments I'm hearing here are unfounded opinion. Lack of participation in one SE is not justification for creating a more specialized version; rather, the opposite holds true. The way to tell if a topic needs to have its own SE is if questions on that topic dominate a more general SE. The idea that "poker experts will only participate if all other games are excluded" is a fiction.

    @Michael Card games have as much if not more in common than the topics on Stack Overflow. Poker is a family of very closely related games - just as Lisp or languages which run in the .net CLR might be considered families of programming languages. Perhaps there's an argument for a card game SE site, but I personally think Poker is too specific. The claim that Poker experts won't use a site with a broader topic is mere speculation; you have no idea why Poker experts aren't using B&CG heavily, you only know why you aren't using it.

Ignoring the question whether those sites should be seperate or combined for a moment, at least for Go and Chess there are also technical reasons why the current B&CG site is not as attractive for those games as it could be.

Many questions and answers about those games require some way to show board positions and movements. You can of course create those using external tools, but many users probably don't know how that would work.

Without an easy way to include such board positions and moves, using the site for Go & Chess questions is somewhat cumbersome. If the site should attract more Chess & Go players, integrating some software solution for that would be a good first step.

Before you mentioned it, I would never have considered a board game or card game site to be a place for discussing chess specifics. And I still do not agree with you. I know a lot of people interested in all kind of chess activities (studies/problems composing, tournament chess, opening theory, history etc), that would consider board games to be mere childrens' stuff. I have both played chess in tournaments and board games for sheer fun, and IMHO most of the time I dealt with two different kind of people and mindsets. I truly doubt a board game site will attract a lot of chess players, many of whom have dedicated literally years of their time to just this single game.

My impression is that a person describing himself as an avid board gamer will be proud to have played 1000 different board games, while most avid chess player will boast to have played 1000s of times the same single game (chess!). So the target audience for a chess site and a boardgame site does not match well (except maybe for chess beginners' questions of which I do not have any need to ask or discuss).

I've read all the possible arguments about having a general QA site or a single topic QA site.

As a GO game fan and player (living in China, playing everyday), I'm interested in participating in any one of them, but choosing which one is difficult.

General QA site (board and card games)

PROS:

-It's already in beta (thus with a lot of committers)

-Game of Go is tagged and awaiting for a community to use it

-If you play GO as well as other board games, you don't need to register to subscribe to other websites. You have everything in 1 place.

CONS:

-It's really about any board games, if you don't play more than 4 different kinds of games you will find the site boring to death and go see somewhere else.

-It will probably not attract experts (?)

General QA sites work because 1 person is always interested (or even expert) in 3 or more topics. (on stackoverflow, very few people look at only 1 tag, that's why it works.) On B&CG I personally haven't heard of 1/10th of games being discussed there.

Specialized GO game QA site

PROS:

-Experts will participate and will be eager to make it work

-Great SE platform

CONS:

-Can we solve the SGF/diagram problem in posts?

-Other experts sites and forums exist and have A LOT of informations, a huge community and lots of people ready to answer.

-Do we need another site about GO and start documenting everything over again?

-Most answers to GO questions on B&CG are simple links to SL, that would be sad to have all answers on a dedicated site pointing outside...

The nature of people is such that when they're really into something they want their little home/playground just for them and their peers. A SE go game site would be cool, the format is different, there's reputation points and badges to earn. Lot of potential to setup a great GO community.

I'm committed to this proposal (maybe for the reason above when I think about it...) and I try stick to it although my mind tells me it's useless and bound to fail and it's using up 1 commitment point that I would like to use ;)

My answer is:

I'm really attached to this proposal but if the 160+ committers to this proposal would actually use the available tag and existing community of B&CG that might probably work. If you think about Board&Card Games as the Stackoverflow of board games then there's no reason it wouldn't work.

We might even attract new players to the game which is the best thing we can give to the GO community, thing that no other website can do!

EDIT:

I removed my commitment to this proposal. This kind of forum format cannot and will never be able to support correctly a deep game like GO. B&CG is enough if you have a basic question, for the rest ask live on kgs, L19 or SL you'll get a professional answer. Starting a new community is useless and a huge waste of time.

Disclaimer: This is sarcasm. It is intended to point out the absurdity of some of the arguments presented here.

I disagree. I think that there's no way that board games and card games can possibly manage to support more than one variety of game. Just look at StackOverflow: it's way too general, and it's turned out to be a huge failure. The topic of "programming, algorithms, and tools for programmers" is just way too broad. The small tags like Lisp never get any good answers because they're overwhelmed by the popular tags like C#. And it's too hard for big things like C# to exist there, because they can't create all the subtags they need, and none of the C# experts want to go there, because the site is cluttered up with all these other languages.

And if you're still not convinced, just look at the B&CG beta. There's all these MtG questions there, and they just sit there abandoned, while everyone complains all the time about how there aren't any experts there to answer them.

2
  • It is a false dichotomy you are posing: while it may be true that people will be inclined to go for SO when lisp.se or funcprog.se does not exist, the same does not hold true for B&CG vs some specific game (out of literally hundreds of others) that already has a set of functional online communities. The importance/significance/necessity of having a Q&A site following SE format (which may be more harm than good) for these subjects is quite overstated.

It's not so much a pride issue but more a matter of practicality for me. This is too general a site for chess, for which many specialized sites have already established (like chessgames.com, talkchess.com) that are not bound by the Q&A format to exclude banter and discussion, only question being whether a chess.stackexchange.com is needed on top of them (I committed to it but I don't really care if it gets started in X years). It will come if enough people are interested but at this point it is definitely neither a need nor priority.

I also agree with user34666's assessment of the situation.

Edit: For Chess, it might work if SE is able to convince/pay a few grandmasters to participate, but they are unlikely do it at B&CG (which is fairly absurd for them considering alternatives more worthy of their time outside of SE).

PS: Why are there only 2 Pokemon TCG questions after more than one year? I reckon the reasons are not too dissimilar.

    Try out B&CG, use the chess tag to filter the questions you want to see. Heck, just spread this link around to your chess friends, and they won't even see the other questions.

    But we don't need to. To put it plainly, we are not desperate enough for a Chess SE to prop up B&CG just for the advancement of that single purpose. B&CG is of no interest unless a google search leads to it.

    I'm just trying to be helpful. B&CG is growing rapidly and isn't in need of any "propping up" either. If you want to participate, I can help show you ways to do it. If you don't, that's cool too. Many folks believe in the power of the SE engine over traditional forums, it is to those folks I'm trying to get the message out to.

    I understand, I am just trying to explain why it is not attractive to existing audience for such topics.

Not only is this covered by another board, the proposal is a subset of player which would continue to overlap the other board. It seems to be a move to sluff off non-tourney players.
