I haven't offered an "it depends if it's an eventful turn" option. Assume I mean the eventful turns where a lot happens for you.


Me, I'm very much type A. I avoid seeing the map or commentary, and avoid reading mails from allies that start with a subject like"What rotten luck you had this turn", cos I want to read and "savour" the turn report slowly without knowing the general outcome in advance.
I run off a hard copy of the TR, half-close my eyes so that it's too blurry to read ahead till I set it at the table and cover it with a card. Then go get a glass of wine as it sits there waiting. Then move the card down line-by-line, following each missile miss and each round of combat lost, occasionally pausing for another sip of wine and a reflective moment, eg, 'that's used up 26 of my 31 missiles, and I still haven't killed any armies yet, but if all 5 of my remaining missiles kill 5 armies each, I'll still nail those 25 heavies in there, so there's hope yet...

Sad, aren't I ?

I bet some players can't be bothered with all that; quickly scan the vital bits of the TR, eg whether you won the province or not, how many armies survived, what you got from spying, maybe like to look at the map first for the fastest possible overview of whether they swept into those 5 provs or bounced off.
So, everyone answer the poll and we'll see which type is more common! Of course, the poll gives numbers not names, so,hey, also add a post on what type YOU are!! If every player who reads this adds a post, even just "I'm type B", or "I hate polls", it will ALSO serve to tell us how many of us players are actually reading the boards at all!! Join in!!
