POLL DESCRIPTION

Dasher muses...

Do you wish you could "screen" players before they are allowed to play in your event?

F'rinstance, giving them a ten-item questionnaire to gauge their attitude and preferences on games, gaming, referees, rules, etc.?

Would you be willing to fill out such a form yourself as a referee, so players knew what to expect of you ahead of time?

This is a "Scotch and a cigar" question, born of idle curiosity about the variations in attitudes of wargamers as a whole; I do not propose nor advocate a "licensing system" for gamers. ("Zo, you vant to play in mein game, ja? PAPERS, please!!!")

Note: It strikes me that how we answer this will say more about us than about anyone we ask to fill out those questionnaires...
