GAH! Your edit came too late. I can make it for 1-4, but not for 5 or 6.

If too many people vote wrongly I'll ask the mods to edit or restart this poll, or I'll post a new poll. BTW I just made UN more noticible. I hope no more mistakes will be made.

Sorry if this poll is unclear.

I voted 4 & 5 (I did notice the Un). How long are you planning to leave this poll up?

PS: Congratulations Rik

Perhaps it might be better just to re-poll this asking when everybody is available; as it is I don't think it is supplying accurate information, given that many people voted automatically for the times that they are available without reading the first post.

I've thought long and hard about this. I've decided to not do this as the "winner" of that poll is less precise than the "not available" poll. The reason is that the runners-up in that poll always 'loose' and the runners-up in this poll not neccesarily 'loose'.

I dislike the infamous 0:30 turn chats. I would ather see the turn chats to run from 4:00pm to 9:00pm EST.

I was reading the first post while voting, but it still didn't sink in. I voted for when I will be available (1 and 2)

Edit: And now I've just realised that I can't make it for 2
I should really start reading the threads carefully before I vote...

Maybe we should run this poll over again, since so many voted the oposite of what they intended.

What does RMT stand for btw?

I can make 1, 4, and 6, but I voted for 2,3, and 5 since I can't come those times.

If 4 wins and it seems it does even after correcting the mis-votes, I'll post another poll which more precisely defines the time.

@ Stuck: You've posted it at 4pm = 16:00 RMT.

One more thing... you should've included an option for "Can Attend All Times", or else those individuals won't be able to vote.

Well, then I guess they don't vote.

Yeah, but rik, let's not try a poll like this again, kinda like wearing your underwear outside of your pants.
