I don't min/max, since I like to actually create an interesting (and usually fairly unique) character with a back story, and a good explanation for stats/abilities etc. They don't all have weaknesses, but usually they have something that makes them stand out a bit.

I do like to roleplay, but it's a casual roleplay. I never do voices (except when playing a goblin), but I do try and act like my character would, and if my character is stupid or not smart, I don't solve puzzles etc (although if I have a smart character in my party and the player doesn't figure something out, I'll tell them ooc...so their character can solve it etc).

It's all about the fun though. We have had a blast playing an 8-10 hour session with absolutly no fighting at all, and also had a blast playing a 6+ hour session that was one very long combat.

It's all about the players and especially the DM really. A good group can make just about anything fun.

Option 3 says "fun of playing", not "game play".

As far as I'm concerned, the fun of playing IS roleplay.

If YOU consider "fun of playing" to mean "game play", you should have phrased your options differently.

If you think "fun of playing" to mean "Roleplay" in the context of a list with "Roleplay" above it, I think you need to go back to a reading comprehension class.

Well looks like TC is option 4.

Interestingly enough my post would technically make me option 5.

Fun of play

Which often involves min maxing, because the things I like (generally, rogue and monk types, that are nimble and flashy melee combatants) are some of the most underpowered classes/builds in my game of choice, D&D 3.5.
Plus I have pretty terrible luck w/ dice rolls.

So I optimize in order to play what I like and still be good at my job. When I play a spellcaster, I take it a lot easier on the optimizing, most of those classes are damn powerful w/o even putting in any effort.

Voted option 3, in any case.

My current D&D party can be described as "try to make everybody at the table laugh uncontrollably for the duration of the game". Like my Drow assassin is currently a vegan gardener who plays a hill giant in a traveling performance group that ends every show getting pants-ed and mooning the audience. And I am the relatively NORMAL person in the party.

To be fair, role playing is a big part of the fun...

Uhm, no. It is the only answer on the poll that can mean so many things, it is useless as an answer. In a way, it is just a rewording of the question "What do you consider the fun part of D&D".

Ideally everyone should have fun, and that's the goal.
But, I just want everyone to focus.

This, too. You can tell from the answers. Some people have fun role playing, while others have fun min/maxing. Some have fun just because its a game. Fun is a very versatile answer in this case...

I enjoy roleplaying and trolling. I gave one of my characters a Russian accent, so obviously I spoke with a Russian accent the entire time I played him. I even learned how to swear in Russian so I could just cuss any and everyone out while playing.

Playing for fun. A total RP session can be just as good as a total combat session and vice versa with the right group. Unfortunately, the one I'm with right now keeps trying to do shit like "ok, I kill the orc" and even after the TENTH FUCKING TIME explaining how this shit works, they keep fucking up a game that has some of the loosest rules ever in terms of what you can do.
