[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 5153767, member: 50987"] [b]Results, two days in[/b] So the poll is at 213 votes, and I'm poking around in the data and drawing some conclusions. Yes, I know it's a non-scientific poll. Yes, I know that makes my conclusions worthless. But this is the internet, after all...what can you do? ABOUT THESE STATS First thing I did was weed out the anonymous voters: while 213 people have voted in the poll, only 172 of those votes were from registered users that had logged in. (That means about 20% of the votes got thrown out.) Once that has been taken care of, the tally looks like this: 7.56% Arcade 54.07% Board 6.98% Card, collectable 27.33% Card, non-collectable 8.72% Card, gambling 55.23% Computer, non-rpg 45.93% Computer, solo rpg 20.93% Computer, MMORPG 27.91% Console, RPG 40.12% Console, non-RPG 4.65% Gambling, other 90.70% RPG, tabletop 20.35% RPG, Online 2.33% RPG, live-action 6.40% Sports, team 9.88% Sports, Non-team 0.58% Sports, motor 0.00% Warsim, Live 9.88% Warsim, tabletop 13.95% Warsim, computer 1.74% Nothing 1.16% Other RPG 2.33% Other non-RPG Outlier (hi): Tabletop RPG Outlier (lo): Warsim, Live Then, I input all of the names and votes of everyone in the poll into an Excel spreadsheet, and did some fancy sorting and data comparison. Here are the results, for your entertainment. GAMES LISTED BY POPULARITY -----Most popular----- RPG, tabletop Computer, non-RPG -----50% of votes----- Board Computer, solo RPG Console, non-RPG Console, RPG Card, non-collectable Computer, MMORPG RPG, online War simulation, computer War simulation, tabletop -----Bottom 10%----- Sports, non-team Card, gambling Arcade Card, collectable Sports, team Gambling, other RPG, live-action Other non-RPG Nothing Other RPG Sports, motor War simulation, live action -----Least popular----- MOST VERSATILE GAMERS IN THE MONTH OF MARCH (number of game categories in parenthesis) Leatherhead (12) Tiberius (12) MrMyth (11) Krensky (11) Serin_Marst (10) spuppett (9) Ourph (9) N0Man (9) billd91 (8) Cerebral Paladin (8) darjr (8) Dragonbait (8) john112364 (8) Mr. Wilson (8) Neonchameleon (8) Steel_Wind (8) weem (8) ----- MOST FOCUSED GAMERS IN THE MONTH OF MARCH cildarith (tabletop RPG only) Derulbaskul (tabletop RPG only) Doug McCrae (computer, solo RPG only) El Mahdi (tabletop RPG only) FreeXenon (tabletop RPG only) Longtooth Studios (tabletop RPG only) noffham (tabletop RPG only) Paul_Klein (tabletop RPG only) Tallifer (tabletop RPG only) TerraDave (tabletop RPG only) Wepwawet (tabletop RPG only) ----- JUST FOR FUN If this poll is representative of all gamers, everywhere, all the time:* # 94% of all board gamers are also tabletop RPG players. # The ratio of electronic games to non-electronic games played is nearly 1:1. # The ratio of indoor to outdoor games played is 22:1. # Less than 7.25% of console gamers play sports of any kind. # All collectable card gamers are also tabletop RPG players. # 74.6% of all gamblers own a computer. # If you play motor sports, you are the only one. ----- (*It's not, by the way.) I'll give this poll another couple of weeks, and then I'll run these numbers one more time. I also think it would be fun to do this survey again in the middle of the summer, and see how the results differ by season. [/QUOTE]
