Poll results: Ping in colored bars or numbers?

[frvge]

It took a while to collect enough data, but the results are in:

Question: Ping in colored bars or numbers?
Your answers:
Colored Bars: 5 (6%)
Numbers: 79 (94%)
Total votes: 84

I guess that's pretty clear. We'll be using numbers. Maybe we'll add some color to them too, but that depends on the menu design that is coming along really well.

The next poll is up and asks: Few media updates/many text updates?

[Cronky]

There should be an option for Both.

Many rather Small detail Text Updates. Such as... WE FINISHED... The... Coding for something!

PLUS

Few Media updates

There is already a loooooong drought of time between anything big going on. Leaves this place kind of desolate and, for lack of a better word, boring when there is only topics going on that you don't quite have an opinion on.

Know what I mean?

Hell, set up a Live Webcam so we can peer into your LIVES! With all the creepiness that you think there will be.

Or have a Web Conference that can later be downloaded. (Yes I remember that time zones suck, but I'm sure you could figure something out. Some people get up early on a weekend. Some people stay up later.)

Or hit up Livestream.com and just quickly show off tiny tid bits you all are working on. (Like Developer Diaries... Err... Manly Books. Developer Manly Books)

OR OR

I don't know, but a lot more updates in general would be fun.

A 'plus' is considered of course. The question is more like: "You HAVE to pick one: this or that". Weighs the visual/audio media vs lots of text updates. Aka, is a video or screenshot worth more or less to you than knowing the latest updates almost in realtime?

[LennardF1989]

So he means:
- Or media updates which take longer to collect and dont happen very often (tick-tock)
- Or almost realtime updates which are not necessarily visual media (just text).

Both would be too easy, we want to know which one is preferred.

- Or almost realtime updates which are not necessarily visual media (just text).

This is better.

I would like an audio cue.  Like a "JOIN THIS GAME" or "Hey, man, this game is laggy as shit"

[frvge]

Judging from the negative comments about SCDA's announcer, your idea is a no.

[Farley4Fan]

I LOVED THAT GUY!   :D

(I was kidding)

I'm up for that position (for a try, anyway).
It should be optional, though.
It'd be nice to have many different voices to choose from, though.

[Farley4Fan]

Noopioid.

[Tidenburg]

I liked the announcer in DA, just not in a splinter cell game thx.

If you did like a comms thing that was like grimm in your ear... shit would be ca$h

[Farley4Fan]

I was kiddin.  No more announcer talk.  Shush.

Aaaaaaah. I getcha.

And since I've registered my vote of "Many Text Updates"; I was wondering when you are going to Implement said change?

Not that my choice is going to be the majority vote in the end, but if both are considered as an option could we expect to see more updates within the week? Or do we have to wait a month or so for this poll to finish before we start to see you all let us in on what you've been accomplishing?

[frvge]

Polls usually take 1-2 weeks. I strive for 1 week, but it's hard to come up with new poll questions after a while xD.

[Cronky]

So is that to say we wont see any cool text updates for another week or two?
