Poll, and blog post - Consequences round-up

[undyingking]

I've posted to my new games-related-stuff blog! - it's a round-up of what I played/ran at Consequences, the recent larp con that ran down in Hampshire. It was great!

And while I've got your attention (or not), a quick poll just to find out who's still here:

Just imagine what you might be missing out on!

(You probably can quite easily imagine, actually.)

Bit of a predictable poll result, given it's a self-selected sample, composed exclusively of people who do in fact read your LiveJournal!

Mm, it's really to give me an idea of numbers and identities. "Comment below if you're reading this journal" doesn't give as complete results as a poll does, because of the slightly higher hurdle to participation…

... although I am a bit surprised that no-one's answered 'No!' yet, given the perverse nature of some of my friends.

So, 27 participants so far. What number do you see if you look at your stats page for LJ users? I'm curious to know.

Re: counting

Good question! At the moment I'm seeing 34 LJ users on the stats page. (And 51 visitors overall.)
Suggests there may be 7 people who didn't want to tick the poll, or who turned away in disgust even before noticing it?

Re: counting

I ask because despite the rubric saying sort-of-exactly how they count that (but not exactly), I am still puzzled by it. Could be people who are friends, have logged on, and your post is therefore in their friends-view, but in what sense have they 'seen' it - do they have to scroll past a view of friends that has your post in it (I doubt it) or just be looking at their LJ friends-filter, and so they have seen it theoretically?

I think must be the latter, the former would be very tricky to implement.
