57 players completed the survey. The results follow:

1. Race for Trade Forum Moderator position was very close. In fact, too close to call. I calculated winner two different ways (one with 5 points for strong support, 4 points for okay, etc and 0 points for no way and then the second with 2 points for strong support and -2 for no way). One way of calculating the winner HS won and SS came in second. The other way, SS won and HS came in second. This one was just too close to call either way, however, so both will be appointed trading moderators.

Only one player had more negative votes that positive votes. Everyone else had more supporters than nay sayers, with the exception of Ghost Negotiator, who appears to have annoyed a lot of people.

2. Strong majority vote (73%) to NOT change training (sorry Filas) and slight majority vote in favor of NO cost for planet obliteration (59%). So, there will be no changes in these two areas. At least, not in the next two months, although I might revisit these issues again in a few months.

3. Voting on experience level is very split. Both 500% experience and 200% experience received 14 votes each, with zero experience receiving 12 votes, 300% experience 10 votes, 400% exp 1 vote, and 100% experience 4 votes. In total, the number of votes for 200% experience or less was 30 and for 300% experience or more was 25. (Two players did not vote on this issue for some odd reason.) Therefore, with these results, a decision has been made and announced that maximum experience for assaults will be limited to 200% starting effective June 1st.

4. Continued operation of NP Ship Dealer was requested by 64% of players voting. It was split almost 50/50 as to preference with 38 votes being cast (including most of vets), but with several newer players without HWs adding in votes during the last day of voting, the balance shifted towards asking for an alternative to training being available. Thus, role of NP Ship Dealer will continue as part of the game.

5. Majority (61%) felt that resources should be able to be traded for credits, but it should be limited only to players with more than three stars. And additional 21% wanted this service to be open to all players.

6. Majority (57%) wanted small testing of creation of Green planets and SP confed planets to be passed into real arena without being connected with new player starting, with 26% asking for as many planets as possible to be created this way as soon as possible.

7. Almost 40% of players expressed an interest in assisting with development of the game. Thank you.

Nope. You will just have to die. But, it gives you a great opportunity to start again, fresh!

And, when you have been able to survive for three months, you can start your own clan.

Somehow I don't like the voting system when it comes to h/w-concerning isssues or similar issues. Most of the people who'll vote will already have h/ws, and will invariably vote in their own favour. They have enough resources to get virtually unlimited credits.

I really, really don't like that one.

Proof that nagging really does work!

Griffin, the vets with HWs have the opposite perspective. They feel it is unfair that there are more newer players without HWs or with only marginal HWs that are voting and this is shifting balance of voting power away from vets who have more time invested in the game.

Since both strong vets and less strong players both feel that the voting is in some way biased or unfair, it probably on balance is not too bad.

But, I will look at the voting based on who voted how and will try to avoid just looking at final numbers overall when making a final decision on policies. Actual votes of individuals will never be released, nor will voting by group be released, but in some ways, the voting results should not be too surprising. Stronger vets want stronger attack strength, and newbies want less.
