[QUOTE="ClaytonCross, post: 7771820, member: 6880599"] Just curious, I assume their is a window for "active characters", is it something like 30 days or 120 day? etc. I ask because I play 2 monthly games that shifts due to player availability. If its a 30 day window of activity I play the first two weekends one month, play the last two weekends the next month, and the D&D Beyond polling is done on in the middle of the next month, its possible that despite being active characters they would not have been active in the time frame of the active pole. This would of course effect more than my group and impact the numbers. I understand you can't get everyone and it maybe that your interested in 30 day range changes. [B]I am just curious what the data polling window is, it that's something you allowed to answer[/B]. If you can't I do understand it there is a need to keep some things behind closed doors. I am also curious about how you feel about players having access to character tags to aid D&D Beyond in poling from a personal view, though I understand, you being you its hard to answer personal views without it being taken official unless you add a clear disclaimer. Maybe even then. Clarifying what I mean, I would be more than happy to Mark my characters: "Untagged" Default? "Theory crafting only - currently not in use" "Alternate/Backup character - currently not in use" "GM - NPC", "Player Sidekick - currently not in use" "Player Sidekick - In use" "In use Player Character" understanding this tag does not mean active unless it also meets active character criteria in X window of days. Would this be useful, in your opinion, for improving data for D&D Beyond data poling or do you think lake of participation and status changes would just muddy the water? Also, I am 100% clear that even if you would like these feature it does not reflect a desire by the community or prioritization of such a request that it would ever be implemented or implemented in the near future. If you can answer this I apricate it. If you can't I understand it. Thanks for reading if you get to it... I know I am not concise, sorry about that. [/QUOTE]
