Why do the pollsters ignore the SP community?

DaveP · February 1, 2001, 12:26

Every CivII poll to date has been about some aspect of MP, perhaps it should be renamed the MP poll?

You raise a valid point. One of the reasons is that MarkG asks me for suggestions... and I play FAR more MP than SP.

So, to better balance things out...

What types of questions would you like to ask?

If people can agree on a few good ones, I'll make sure they are brought to the attention of the Admin here. While I can make no guarantees... I will say that MarkG has always been very responsive. Plus, he is always looking for good poll questions

So bring em on!

"If people can agree on a few good ones..."

Ming, can we have a poll to see which SP questions we should have polls on?

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Funny stuff...

My point "WAS" that if there are a few good questions that people would like to have info on... it would help make it happen

-Scenarios
-Real maps
-Imaginary maps

Maybe a poll on Activision's latest stunt and how people react to it (maybe expand it to game manifacturers in general?)

I like palying "strip poker" games of civ, I have already offed my shirt.

I vote for St.Leo's idea. Those are some of things I would like to know.

Do you prefer to win by
-Conquest
-Alpha Centauri

Which government do you generally prefer
-Anarchy
-Despotism
-Monarchy
-Communism
-Fanaticism
-Republic
-Democracy
(You could probably omit the first two, but it might be interesting to see if they got any takers)

Most important wonder
ICS/OCC/perfectionist/combination/other
Second city improvement (assuming temple is 1st)
Map settings
Number of civs
Difficulty level
Highest score
Earliest conquest
Earliest AC

popcornvendor · February 2, 2001, 19:08

dont call single players wankers! i prefer single player, its a lot quicker. iv only played like 5 multiplayer games in my life on civ2

February 3, 2001, 01:02

thanks for the suggestions guys, they will be used asap...
keep them coming

February 6, 2001, 08:09

This is so ironic. The SP community wants polls. The MP community would prefer to be left alone

Mark and Dan,

One of the things I like on the FreeCiv site is that their poll always seems to include a frivolous "other" response. I suppose this could become tiresome after a while, but I found it amusing. Using one of my earlier topics for an example:

What is the earliest you have ever reached AC?

o Before AD500
o Before AD1000
o Before AD1500
o Before AD1750
o Before AD1900
o You can reach AC?

Note to casual readers: this is only meant as an example. Do not respond to this poll!

You know Alexander was very much in love with his horse.

It was rumored they did funny things.

Much more than the horse could handle. They say it messed up its mind pretty bad

Probably true - Greeks are notorious for doing funny stuff with animals

There were more substatial rumors about King Richard II and his horse, including a description of a special step ladder/platform & necro-beastiality.

Unfortunately I don't know Alexander's Horse location for sure, but I can say this: Stop the suffering of the kangourous.
