[QUOTE="jeffh, post: 4108690, member: 2642"] Well, with 350 votes (a relatively round number), 100 posts previous to this one (also nice and round), no new posts to the thread in over half a day, and the overall voting pattern having been pretty stable for at least 24 hours, this seems like a good time to sum up. I think we can say (among currently active ENWorlders who care, which may or may not reflect anything at all about any other population), that the patterns are pretty clear: [list=1] [*]1-1-1-1 is easily the most popular with just under 50% preferring it. [*]The now-traditional 1-2-1-2 runs a distant second with around 25% [*]Hex grids, gridless tape-measure use and similar solutions which render the whole problem irrelevant are a fairly close third with around 20% support. This group may or may not include a number of people who don't use maps and miniatures (or anything similar) at all, some of whom are even surprised that anyone does. [*]The other three options I gave account for less than 10% of the votes between them, so few that it's hard to say anything about them. I will comment that most of the "Other (please specify below)" voters don't seem to have specified below, and that the 2-2-2-2 (Star Wars Saga or Manhattan Distance) option has consistently been the least popular, especially when you consider that one of the very few people who went in that direction explicitly repudiated his vote later on.
