Bah, as Knecht said elsewere this is a lost cause Gully

This won't be my first lost cause. Its still my fervent belief that one day I will be able to piss into a strong wind.

I appreciate the reply. Admittedly, I'm not a statistician and I'm sure you can get more qualified opinions on putting together the survey but I'd recommend either 1-5 or 1-7 scales, check boxes, and potentially rankings as well as yes/no questions (although probably limit it to 8-12 questions). There could be a temporary page for it, so it could be more than just receiving bb-mails.

I used to play HT and there was a survey similar to what you are proposing. When I was completing it, I had the feeling that the questions were so vague that my answers didn't really say what I really wanted for the game.
So, to create a good survey of this kind you have to be really good at it.
I can't think a couple of decisions where a survey could have worked, though.

We would like to thank you for your kind words and for really trying to make us feel worthless. I can only say that we are trying to do our best whatever is the level of it.

I have been warned in the past on here that sarcasm doesn't help. Neither does hypocrisy.

Considering what happened with the second team solution, I am very confident any poll result will be scrambled into something completely unrelated and useless thing.

Yeah, but some users have asked for an intermediate solution, and that would complicate things a bit

Of course the BBs have said Utopia was/is a success. Though I suspect they mean in terms of revenue, not for what it did to the game.

Before any poll took place, and I see no likelihood of one, we'd need clearer details of what these changes mean. Does it mean more teams getting promotion bonuses and the consequent inflation, or does it mean promoted teams not getting a bonus, an equally absurd proposition.

But people could want a change but not this change, and in fact you can see different opinions going in this directions.
- No, I want a change but not this one.
- Yes, a want a change but I would prefer another one
I don't think this is a clear yes/no option
