I apologize for this - I'm in a statistical analyzation mood right now...
Anywho - I'd go for a conservative estimate of 10%. Since, I can't mod, and admit this to myeslf, so I don't try. I'd say 1 war a month taking 1/30 days, even 2 at 1/15, is less than 10% anyway...
Edit:
Err, didn't see 5%. I'd say that's a much more realistic number for me.

I hate being a stick in the ass about this, but if you're saying anything above 40, and 40% is fucking pushing it, I'm not believing a word that you say, ever. Poll options should range from 1%-10% and then in increments of 5 up to 35, I think, but do what you must.

I just started an Interdisiplinary Studies course. For our first assignment, we have to record what we are doing in .5 hour blocks for 7 days, all 24 hours. As I previously stated there are 168 hours in one week. While many people say they are hardcore nerfers, I'm going to say a liberal number of 25 hours is high to spend on nerfing. This is roughly 1/7 of your time or 15%.

Maybe they are saying that 40% of their free time goes to nerf.
I would say 50% of my free time goes to nerf and the other half goes to my car.

I work between 60-65 hours a week, six days a week.
I sleep 5 hours a night. It's a "type-A" thing...it's enough for me.
I'm studying for licensing in my area of discipline, that takes 3-5 hours a week.
I have things to do around my household, which takes a couple hours a day.
I have a wife and two children, and they need my attention for most of my spare time left over. And I give them that time.
My one hobby (ocean sports, especially fishing), I spend a couple hours a week, if even that...it's just when I find leftover time to do them, I will.
That's why I fool around with colorful plastic toy guns. My kids love them, and so do I. I should, I fix 'em up for them.
That said, I spend probably 1% or less of my time with "dedicated" Nerfing. I just don't have the spare time nor the wherewithal to immerse myself into this thing. Nevertheless, I still crank out a good piece every now and then, and spend a few hours a week on the forums to keep everything pleasant, if not just less nasty.
It's a relative question. Depends entirely on each individual.

On topic now, I spent a lot of time tuning guns, planning wars, making darts etc. during the school year for my clan, this summer, I've relaxed that a lot.
Next year though, I'm definitely delegating some authority.

30% Nerf
20% Game Design
20% Video Games
25% Friends
5% Other things...
Probably dead by now, or something.

I think another thing to consider is money, or the allocation of funds towards Nerf. I work very hard during the year and during the summer to get ample funding to fly out to Armageddon, and I also save up gas money for driving to various wars during the year. The people keeping the site alive VIA funding are also very important, as are the contributors and other board members who go through numerous supplies, blasters, and other various sundry items before getting a working version to share with us here on the boards.
Anywho, in conjunction with admin duties here, working and setting money aside for the travel/sport side of things, tinkering with guns, I would have to say about 25% - 35%. The other time is mostly spent with school duties and responsibilities, having a social life, and of course playing video games like most guys do.

I'm about 30%. I love doing this but I have other thing's I love too do as well.
If you're talking free time, that's great.
If you're talking waking hours, that's bad.
If you're talking out of 24 hours a day, you have a problem.
I was playing with my titan, and I found my dads shotgun shells. The shottyshell shot fine but when it hit that rock it exploded.
You should have shot at yourself. You would have won a Darwin Award.

Then why do you have 1086 post on NerfHaven?Anywho - I'd go for a conservative estimate of 10%. Since, I can't mod, and admit this to myeslf, so I don't try. I'd say 1 war a month taking 1/30 days, even 2 at 1/15, is less than 10% anyway...
Edit:
Err, didn't see 5%. I'd say that's a much more realistic number for me.
More on topic, id say 20-30 percent, i put 20 in the poll.

Granted, I spend a lot of time on the Haven, but, as I said, a conservative estimate for me is 10%.

So you see a penguin walking down the street. Looks harmless right, so you keep on walking past him. You turn around to seem him walk away, only to find yourself staring down the barrel of a .38 revolver.
