You know, just having that poll was a lot more embarrassing for miniature wargaming than anything the Outraged People are going to say about Colonial or WWII gaming.

Agree!! That's why I was one of the 49% that voted "This is ridiculous."

But somehow neither that nor "not my cup of tea" at 11% show up here. For that matter "none of these" was at 9%. We're at Stalin time here: it's not who votes, but who counts the votes.

You're free to sum up the polls any way you want, Robert. grin I thought the relevant info was which of the five finalists got the most votes.

Five Finalists?
That would be, in order:
1st Place: This is Ridiculous 49%
2nd & 3rd (tie): Wood for Sheep and Not my Cup of Tea (11%)
4th Place: None of These (9%)
5th Place: Interpenetration (5%)

It would appear that not many respondents think of miniature warfare as a Benny Hill routine. Along about next week, the usual suspects are going to suggest we give up winning and losing in order to attract more women to "the hobby." Giving up this sort of thing might be more to the point.

I thought this was about Settlers of Catan and using minis for the game…

"2nd & 3rd (tie): Wood for Sheep and Not my Cup of Tea (11%)"

That can be easily combined into "Not My Cup of Sheep"…

;-)

Not my wooden cup of tea with sheep.

Ridiculous for the win. But yet it wasn't mentioned.
