Your dual-identity?

[Aggie]

I usually teach people and also do my own research on the side. Right now it looks like my mornings will be free but the afternoon might be busy. Of course that could change and I might have to work during the day, most likely if I did it would be m,w,f or t,th. But everyday is always a possibility, thats why I didn't run(also the candidates were all very good and deserving when I got back). I'll know more in a few weeks. Still I will be able to play and post, just might not be able to attend turnchats, if they still exist that is.

I need a job though

[Jonny]

I'm the one that's below high school.

I'm just 1 year 'til high school.

[Donal Graeme]

College Freshman. (NOW you know where the massive inferiority complex, the biting insults and weird comments come from!)

[MrWhereItsAt]

Completing Honours at University and eyeing up a PhD for next year. Part time working at the University, multiple sports activities, oh, and lashings of parties and alcohol (you're only at Uni once ).

I have a two week "vacation" from next week, tho', so chats, threads etc won't be a problem over that time.

[UnOrthOdOx]

Full time, odd shift, somewhat.

As soon as you figure out what I actually do at my job, let me know.

[notyoueither]

You sell red noses?

[notyoueither]

What have this to do with civ?

Trying to figure out the demographics of the players, I think.

[MrWhereItsAt]

We are determining the effects of the recommencement of the North Hemisphere school year on participation within the game. It looks like a helluva lot of us will suddenly have little time for the game.

As MrWIA said...

We've established that our active citizenry (those replying and voting in the last few days) are composed of roughly 50% students (whether high school or uni or college or whatnot), many of whom will likely see a drop in their ability to participate when school starts up again (for majority of NA and perhaps Europe, begins soon).

We've already noted that ministerial responsibilities and time commitments clash with real-life commitments and are preventing many interested people from running. This establishes that we *may* have further difficulty in filling positions once summer vacation for NA ends. Further support for moving to turnthreads instead of turnchats, or as a basis to promote and promulgate further discussion as how to improve participation in light of real-life obligations.

Another way of doing so might be just to inquire how much time people expect they can spend on the C3DG game in the upcoming year, but perhaps this method makes the poll more interesting. Furthermore, it indicates priority and flexibility of the real-life commitments and a clue as to the competing interests of our participants. Job demands, school schedules, or the party life of univ/colleges...

Unless I'm seriously mistaken in my worldview, if we discount addictions (such as those of UO players), obligations in an online game will always take a back seat to real-life obligations and more palpably interesting activities.

The one area I would change if I were to repoll would be to inquire about other obligations, such as familial duties whether filial, spousal, or parental. The poll gives lots of information (if we take certain assumptions based on the social and cultural mores of "the West") in terms of occupational time-use but failed to inquire about the other strong obligations of life.

Originally posted in another thread as to why this is not spam.

GodKing had a good idea with his posting of his time-commitments, but since not everyone wants to post in such detail, the poll will have to do for now.

You want detail?

I work currently 5:30 Am to 3:30 pm (mountain time, don't know GMT at the moment). 1/2 hr drive home depending on traffic. Evenings are pretty free, spent helping my wife of seven years with our two sons, one 3 years old, one 2 months old. I have a church meeting each Wed evening, in addition to Sunday afternoon. Sunday evenings are spent visiting family members. I regularly get up at least an hour early for work for some free time on the comp. I also get some time at work, as you can tell, for internet. We try to get out as a family at least one night a week, but are pretty flexible which night that is. I expect things to change somewhat in October when my wife goes back to work and I am alone with my son's three - four times a week. My wife works a night shift with rotating days of the week, and I will not be able to predict what days those will be.

uhh, below high school.
