Bah those were sorta hard since you could only put on priority per thing

The last one was easy, we need more fluff. No gameplay since we're getting the beta and will get to see most of the features in it

I considered it. We had a question solely about espionage systems in the last survey, maybe if you can come up with a "camps of espionage" post, like the internal debates made external dev journal - next survey I will poll people on which camp they prefer. Plus if the dev journal is an indicator it will probably spur some lively debate.

There has been a LOT of discussion about espionage lately, but it has been a kind of nebulous discussion of various concepts. Peopoe are picking and choosing things they like and don;t like. So if you can organize that into some discrete choices, I think that would be a fab survey question. Maybe I would even dedicate an entire survey to the topic!

Stop trolling Hortz.  The fact that in the survey I asked for opinions on if "religion" should be in the game was not an invitation for you to make bigoted remarks in an attempt to start a flame war.

And regardless of your feelings about religion, there is no question that religion or enforced superstition plays a huge role in shaping RL cultures and societies. Which is the only reason it was included in the poll, it is not like I want Rioman Catholicism or Southern Baptists or any other religion of the world represented in a fantasy game. But there could be a fantasy pantheon that could play a role in the game. (Not saying should or shouldn't, only that it is a possibility.

taken. Number 5 was so hard to choose... interview with Frogboy or gameplay video? How do you choose?

Gameplay video would not be "UCM" - and could likely have a lot more features that the beta build may or may not have...   

It is weird how often trailers are almost totally unrelated to the game.  It must work though...

The two off topic questions both had a decline/no opinion option. And neither was phrased in a way to be offensive to anyone regardless of their view. Also I threw in some off topic questions because in my last pathetic survey, I got a lot of positive feedback that people wanted to see more of it.

You conflating me including a question about politics or spoofing another gender online with "throwing the first stone" is ridiculous and pathetic. Hortz's remark was completely out of bounds and certainly offensive to some. His intent was obviously to flame bait, and you appear to be aiding and abetting. At least that is the only conclusion I can come to since you equate asking a couple of innocuous questions for anonymous feedback with someone ridiculing what to many people is a deeply personal and important matter.

Now you may decide to continue to defend the indefensible, you can apologize, or you can STFU.

P.S. Good points on  the CGI.

50 people have taken it already. Should be around a hundred by tomorrow night when I close the survey if past patterns hold.

Same here. I think we all know that anything Horz says should be taken with a veritable(sp?) Dead Sea's worth of grains of salt.... so why not. It's not like Denny asked "are death panels a good idea, or what?"

[troll post removed]

I answered yes to the gender faking.

I used a webcam and a nudie mag to accomplish it.

Then roundly made fun of the person I was spoofing.

This was more than a decade ago, so the low bandwidth available made it much more feasable than it would be now to convince comeone that a still image was another person.

This isn't something I would do now as an adult, but in junior high I thought it was hillarious.

Rants about actual religions are not relevant to a discussion about a mechanic as in Civ 4. Take such comments to the appropriate venue or drop them.
