When reviewing something (especially a service involving interaction with other people), people tend to give positive reviews, and an even-numbered rating system essentially pushes that tendency. An odd-numbered scale allows for an indifferent or middle-ground opinion, i.e "3" on a scale of 1-5. <BR/><BR/>Now, your players aren't technically reviewing an experience, but if they're experienced members of your group I think their opinions are going to be skewed some anyway from "I don't like that genre", for instance, to "that's not my kind of thing, but it might work in this group of ours".<BR/><BR/>1-5 is also easier and faster to judge, for you and the players.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15793709077449398899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4764158821384594980.post-4409470906005988402009-02-19T21:11:00.000-05:002009-02-19T21:11:00.000-05:00Just for fun I plugged it all into a spreadsheet. ...Just for fun I plugged it all into a spreadsheet.

Two 10s, two 8s, and nobody hates it. Let's say four passionate, two cool. You'll get a lot more energy from the Players if 2/3 are excited about the game and no one is dragging it down.<BR/><BR/>CSI Arkham has 3 passionate, two cool, one HATES it. It's fun playing baseball statistics with this.Gene Hahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07389258008505629339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4764158821384594980.post-89062074668625738092009-02-19T20:59:00.000-05:002009-02-19T20:59:00.000-05:00That's a very interesting spread.

Don't take this wrong - but a group of your players going for fantasy, doesn't surprise me. You've done a good job cultivating that style of game. <BR/><BR/>What would have the supers group I played in voted for? <BR/><BR/>And the game system, we're far too opinionated about that, as well. <BR/><BR/>The lack of historical interest doesn't overly surprise me. How many of them are also into miniatures or even historical miniatures?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing the data! I'm sure there's tons of other variables we could take into consideration.Undeadhosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09131084242228738203noreply@blogger.com
