Simple Survey
I would like to have a better idea of which modes of play are going to be used.
There are 5 modes of play:
Solitaire - you play both sides and make all decisions.
Head-to-head (Hotseat) - two players use a single computer, with the players taking turns moving their units/making decisions using the same mouse and keyboard.
AI Opponent - the player takes one side and the Artificial Intellengent Opponent plays the other.
NetPlay - 2 to 6 players with each player having his own computer; there are game 'sessions' where all the players log into the game and communicate their decisions using the internet.
PBEM - Play by email for 2 players, with all decisions communicated via email (an option to temporarily switch to NetPlay if they so desire).
Which mode of play do you expect to use?[&:]
Could you please put your answers in percentages? It would be nice it the percentages added up to 100% too.[;)]
Short and simple answers would be best for this thread. If there are other discussions on this topic, I would prefer a new thread (or some other existing thread) be used.

A little Solitaire maybe too, but I don't expect to ever play PBEM mode.
Solitaire : 10% (always good to try things)
Head-to-head (Hotseat) : 0% (I have the room for the game, so prefer to play the cardboard game if my friends can come to my place -- but this may change if I move to a smaller place)
AI Opponent : 35% (for the enjoyment fast plays / no pain, pure lasyness)
NetPlay : 55% (with my best friends that are too far from my home, and the pleasure of not having to bother with the rules)
PBEM : 0% (can't think of having to wait for the next move. For me WiF FE can only be played live [:D])

RE: Simple Survey
Solitaire - 5% (to play with things not to play a game)
Head-to-head (Hotseat) - 10% (when my brother is on leave)
AI Opponent - 60%
NetPlay - 25%
PBEM - 0% (but maybe it will take some of the net play time, it depends on how well this option works... I would think it would be to clunky)
This is in terms of TIME I spend playing it. Not really how I think effort should be made. In other words Solitaire might be 5% of my time, it would likely be 1% of my care or concern for the game.

RE: Simple Survey
I play WiF live right now, so assuming that keeps up:
Solitaire - 30%
AI Opponent - 40%
NetPlay - 30%
Most of which is for me to game out ideas I want to use in live games.

Steve, I can spare you the time of putting the results of this survey into a spreadsheet if you want.
I already begun however.
Just tell me when you want me to mail you the sheet.

I have never tried NetPlay or PBEM, but would probably use one or both of those if Hot Seat proved too difficult to organise.

80%, (ultimately this depends on the quality of the AI and the availability of human opponents)
NetPlay - 2 to 6 players with each player having his own computer; there are game 'sessions' where all the players log into the game and communicate their decisions using the internet.
0%
PBEM - Play by email for 2 players, with all decisions communicated via email (an option to temporarily switch to NetPlay if they so desire).
20%, (But why only two player PBEM ?)

but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out & proclaiming "WOW, what a ride!"
