I should really go to a "school of poll taking" . No matter what I do, there is always an option I left off .

Well, a couple of things seem obvious:

We need to get rid of our families and jobs!

Also, weekends, so far, don't seem like the most active times.

I find myself unable to vote in this poll (especially for question 1).

Default Re: POLL - When Do You Play Your PBW Games?

Strange poll, When I play my PBW turns, has nothing to do with any specific day. I generally check out my e-mail first thing in the morning and if I find a turn notification in the 'inbox' I play the turn before I get into the days work.

So My real answer to question one is "In the mornings" (which is not an option, so I chose monday to saturday daytime.)

My answer to question two is, none of the above, I don't let my PBW turns clash with my life duties. (I answered option 1 'work' but it is a wrong answer.)

A trick in creating polls is to always have a final option "None of the above" or "Other: specify in your post."

Cheers!

Perhaps you fall into the "Woundwort" time-availability Category .

You might think "Poll Boy" would do a better job .

I should have added the "whenever I can get to it" choice or the "whenever I get a turn in my inbox" choice .

But, like most things, I center my polls around myself and what I do and try to expand it to capture the average guy. For instance, I never play a turn until I can give it full attention. At work, as an example, I could do one if it was near the beginning of the game (or even if I was getting ready for work and spent 5 minutes on it) but when the game turn gets longer, I allocate a time for it. Guess I'm weird that way.

Default Re: POLL - When Do You Play Your PBW Games?

I play my turns every weekday when I get home from school, and on the weekends first thing in the morning and at night. I always try to make sure I'm not in a rush, 'cause if I am, I'll miss stuff and end up making bigger mistakes than I already am!!

Yes Slynky, you are definitely weird that way.
