How serious about their soakers are the users here at iSoaker.net? I'd file in at the "I'm so serious that I modify my soakers."

Please vote.

You might consider allowing people to select multiple choices (I think you can edit how the poll is run if you agree with this thought). I could accurately vote "yes" to choices 3, 4, 6, and 7, but opted to select choice 7 since it's probably the thing I do most when it comes to soaking and water warfare...

If you look at the possible replies, they go from least serious to most serious. The point of the poll is to select the most serious option that you have exhibited. I have done 2, 3, and 4, so I selected 4.

I too would like a multiple choice poll for this. The order of the choices doesn't truly follow how serious you are. I voted for the last one for the reasons you said but that doesn't imply much else about me. I don't have more than 100 water guns, in fact, I have less than most people here. And I rarely buy water guns online. I've only bought two online before and I doubt I'll buy any more in the future.

Yeah, I wouldn't necessarily say you can order those choice is terms of seriousness. For example, I've built a soaker and yet I'm one of the least serious water warriors around. (And by the way, you might want to add something about water wars.)

Agreeing with all above that this poll does not accurately reflect levels of "seriousness". I am one of the most serious tacticians and captains here, yet there is no option regarding wars so I cannot even vote. I see the apex of my achievements as within the realm of the field of battle - new tactics, theories, concepts, etc. Meanwhile I do mod, build, and code, but they're taken as fun-but-low-key secondary activities. I approach this hobby like theater - doesn't matter how good your costume is or how nice your facility is if your stage performance isn't top quality.
