General Polling Thread
« on: December 02, 2010, 05:45:36 pm »

Yes, that's right folks! Instead of putting up another random poll thread, I'm putting up a thread for all of my crazy polls, that will be periodically changed.

The first poll: "Have you dreamed in ASCII?"

Yes, I have! And there was a poll on that before, about 10 months ago.

They went away after I stopped playing Dwarf Fortress. It really helped that I was also on third shift with an erratic sleep schedule, and I'd usually play DF in the dark with only the ASCII visible.

e- I kind of miss it's Tetris effect.

I had one dream in ASCII, and it was a nightmare. I was wandering in endless underground caverns as an "@", with said caverns being made of rock and old, forgotten, rotting wood. If that wasn't bad enough, the setting was the Cthulhu Mythos. I...don't want to elaborate on what happened next. All I know is that Cthulhu needs to make his dark dreams more clear.

I once had a dream involving an 'S' that was waiting in ambush for me. I just knew it was a giant cave spider. None of the rest of the dream was ASCII,though.

I dream in Techno. Which is only 4 letters removed from ASCII.

I think I've had a dream in ASCII without ever having played DF.  Someone I knew used to play it/talk about it incessantly.

I had a dream that was partially ASCII-esque, partially normal.

Has anyone dreamed in binary? That would be awesome.

Seeing as this poll isn't all that new, I'll end it.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The next poll shall be: "If interested in the material, how many pages can you read in a four hour period ?"

Standard, or whatever you think to be standard. It's just an informal poll, I don't worry too much about scientific accuracy.

I am thinking. No idea, I voted for 301-600 because I know I don't read more then that but I think I read more then 300.

Although really you may not want options like zero or over a thousand, that just opens it up to trolling, if people are really like (cough Vector cough) that they can post in the thread.

They're just silly little polls, they can't be trolled in any meaningful way.
