Counters squared or rounded

[Okimaw]

Seeing we're on the subject of mods etc. What is your preference for counters?

[Veers]

Rounded will of course be victorious. :ar15:

[Telumar]

No question: ROUNDED.. Currently it's 4:1 for the rounded ones ... :devious:

[Okimaw]

the roundy boys must have smelled that question coming even as I typed it thousands of KMs from their homes

I need to see an example before I vote.

I don't understand. Are they round? ... or rounded corners? (aka, fillet corners)

You don't need to understand... :D everything is better than squared counters :rolleyes:

(If your counters are different from square vote for rounded... :sneak: )

Voted for squared counters,rounded ones remind me of muffins.

[nemo]

Rounded of course. Should I feel the urge to play with squared counters, there's always my daughter's Lego box :D

[Silvanski]

(to administrators... why can't i vote twice??)

[Okimaw]

I only associate curves or rounded with women, so I suppose that makes rounded counters the feminine version of counters. :laugh:

[CPangracs]

Just so you know, I made a round version of the counters for TOAW III - they are in the downloads section here at SZO.

Rounded.

My psycologists prohibits me from playing with anything with sharp edges or coners.:p

My girlfriend likes rounded, and she's a woman, her ability to have good fashion sense puts all of the squared votes to shame. :)

Thanks ...

I thought when you said rounded, I was delusional and was thinking you meant "round" like a circle ... I couldn't imagine what that would be like.

... gosh, I can't make up my mind which I like best. I could like either one.

Hmmmm

Guess I'll go vote now.

Have to be rounded: I'd be one of those anal-retentive sorts that used to clip all the corners off my wargame chits so they wouldn't hang together.

Considering some of those games had thousands of counters, I feel I owe it to history, :laugh:

Hmmm...guess I worded that all wrong. :)

Yes, all very good things....:laugh:

[JMass]

I prefer my counters, squared but with the corners just a bit cut off (like I used to do with my boardgames).

See where this rounded stuff is going to lead our beloved game? One day it's slightly snipping the edges off of a counter, next thing you know it looks like something a couple of retired gentlemen might play in the park. I'm glad I made this a public poll so we'll see who the guilty parties are should that day come. :clown:

[Mantis]

Rounded, of course. Personally, I find the square ones incredibly unattractive.

I would guess that most of the people who prefer the square counters likley have roots in the board game era - it would be a holdover from that time, I imagine.

Actually, I do prefer Rounded (but not round) counters.
