whoa whoa whoa whoa slow down there... can you really play wesnoth on the wii?? If you can then, awesome! Just as a side note, how can there be that high number percents? Are those on accident? But I'm not a math wiz, so I am probably wrong. Btw, thanks for answering so fast! And even Dave??!!
Maybe this could be a sticky? It could replace the "where are wesnoth player located" thread...

No, you can't play Wesnoth on a Wii, but if you read his post correctly, you would see that you can visit wesnoth.org on a Wii.
I think someone should start a new poll.Dveman115 wrote:Maybe this could be a sticky? It could replace the "where are wesnoth player located" thread...
What's this annoying thing that appears at the bottom of every one of my posts?

It is number of views/visits then a space to indicate a separation (probably a tab where it was originally pasted from - tab doesn't work on forums to indent) followed by a percent under 100 (as percent is percent with 100 max in statistics) with a decimal to be more specific with less rounding. It's completely feasible. If you mean why the percent is so high, the real distribution on the Internet is about 95% Windows, 4% Mac, and 1% other (including Linux)Dveman115 wrote:Just as a side note, ho can there be that high number percents?
I think that the OS used to visit wesnoth.org is a fairly good approximation of what people use to play Wesnoth with. Note that people using the Wii to browse the web are only a tiny fraction of visitors....Dveman115 wrote:Ah, I see. Well then the new poll or sticky would be what OS's you use to play wesnoth. That would make more sense.

I have a dual-core PC with Windows XP as well as my microA1-C (750FX PPC CPU, 512MB RAM) with AmigaOS4. For some reason I only play Wesnoth on the A1. For browsing I use whichever computer I happen to have KVM switched to at the time, though for some sites I am forced to use the PC. ATM I am using OS4 to post this.
I'm also the person responsible for building the latest AOS4 binaries of Wesnoth (afxgroup did the initial port).

On the computer I use to play Wesnoth, I have both Windows XP Home Edition, and Mint Linux 3.0 KDE Edition (which works better than Kubuntu for me).
Then the other computers I have have Mandrake Linux, Ubuntu, Absolute Linux, Windows (one with 95 and one with 3.1), Damn Small Linux. Then I have older ones, but I don't use them frequently (like old macs, thomsons, an epson, etc...)

Mac OS 10.4.10, with Ubuntu on a Parallels Virtual PC. I play Wesnoth on the Mac and often question why I even have Ubuntu.
