[Ringo~Bingo]

I tidied my answers down to just the one Zarya, hopefully it's a little clearer now ?

Yeah, I'm not blaming you, I was directing the question to the guys at Ringohan (lol), but just because I have TJ releaes that I would like to mention
Other than that, I think it's a cool questionaire and it's already possible to see some results, so now I'm really curious about the Ringohan answers.

[zarya]

I've compiled all the answers I received, either here or by PM, and I'll post the results (in another thread most likely) soon. It's just that some people told me they would write their answers and didn't, so I'm giving a few extra days for anyone else who wishes to answer!

I'm looking especially at the frequent posters who haven't made their voices heard yet : Hedo, golem, Jonny, Badtzmaru, frecklegirl, Glath, Kasanagi, Yahiko, Kuro neko, Emil, Paris, etc.

The more data I have, the easier it will be to present the results! Cause right now, for a lot of questions, I'll just have tons of ties or the lucky winner that had two people post the same answer...

And at this point, even if you don't fill it all, if you skip half the questions or whatever, I'll still be glad!

Anyways, thanks a lot to those who already answered!

I forgot all about this.

[Jonny]

First time I see this, just wondering how come no one followed this

> Please copy and paste the questions in a Private Message (PM) that you will send me, and write your answers in the message.
That way, the results will stay semi-secret until I compile them and since the survey is long, it will make for a more legible thread. But if you prefer posting them here, I don't really mind.

Anywoes, must be a real pain to collect all the answers. That's why there's a poll feature in the forum...

The poll feature wouldn't really work for this kind of questionaire.
Also, according to what zarya told, some people sent PMs and some people replied directly here (and it was permited).
I guess, in the end, it was better that people posted here, so we can see the results, instead of waiting for zarya to post...

[Captain_Harlock]

Should I reply here or PM Zarya?
