Voted.

Pie Chart? I always preferred graphs and, when possible, venn diagrams.

But I digress. Like to see where this goes.

Pie charts are the future bro!
Na, Only joking...I do like pie charts but they are rather pointless. I'll make you a bar chart or maybe just some good ol' result tables :D

Only reason I ask is because I'm not sure if the horse problem is affecting you, in the UK we have a bit of a crisis at the minute where horse meat has been found in supermarket store burgers. :P

I thought it was stateside too, but apparently after checking the headlines it appears to be isolated to europe. I get my news from BBC.co.uk so I had heard about it a while back.

Honestly, meat is meat. I don't understand why it's fine to eat a cow but oh no you can't eat a horse, or a dog. That said I would only choose to eat a horse or dog if there were no other options, but I wouldn't put myself above it.

What? FPS Tournament? Oh, right.

EDIT: Will there be alloted time (a few days at least) for team training?

I do not at all understand that chart. Are there supposed to not be any total numbers or are they listed as most popular to least by what was picked? Why do some only have 1 game whereas other rows have 3?

ow my brains.

EDIT: Oh, are those just the responses that people gave? I can count them out if that's the case.

Not a chart, results of the questionaaire, I shall use the data and turn it into a chart at some time in the near future when I am feeling less lazy.

I'm tallying the results now. 13-20 appear to be the same result multiple times, is there any way to check if this was just the same person answering over and over to pad the score

EDIT: Tally done.

These is the tally with 13-20 omitted under the assumption they were all the same person.

INFO DELETED SO AS NOT TO SKEW RESULTS.
EDIT 3: Graph 2

I think the one that's multiple times in there was my vote.  :confused:
But I have no idea why it's there so often. Feel free to ignore them.

Cheers internetlad, if you look you can see they were all posted in under 2 minutes, so we can ignore those, I do actually have a reference number on my version so I can tell if o done multiposts (I have only just checked the box which turns it on) So if it happens again I shall just delete them.

Is the polling still going on? Knowing which games are in the lead might skew the results of other persons.

I've already had my say so it doesn't matter to me.

Oh. Should I take down my graph then?

I'll leave up the Jay-Z one.

I was thinking that too. As you can see the one guy seems to specify that he wants 1.6, whereas I don't even have 1.6.

Speaking of, do we have an updated roster yet?

A bit of a double edged sword. On one hand it basically guarantees that some iteration of CS is making it in, and that only one iteration does so. On the other hand some people will be unhappy about "BUT I VOTED SPECIFICALLY FOR COUNTER STRIKE X or Y" and not want to play the one that gets picked.

That's the problem trying to please everybody all the time. Everybody has a different idea of what's best lol.

Regardless, as long as there's not a large investment for me to play (IE BF3) i'm game for whatever.

Quick sidenote bf3 is only about $15 if you get the Russian version (like me) cheap and educational!

Well the most voted games were Warsow and TF2 if I remember correctly? I am personally unbiased as I have played both games and love them. If you like I can flip a coin or we could start a vote on just them two(although all these votes are probably making people lose interest).

It doesn't really matter too much because we can play any of these games together at any time if we can just arrange some dates, it doesn't have to be this serious, we're here for fun right? :)

Just my suggestion :D

Why didn't you just tell google docs to make a nice graph of the results automagically and link us to said results? It's an option now, all you have to do is select yes turn that gizmo on (Publish and show a link to the results of this form).
