Hello, some of you may know me, others probably wont. Lets just say I'm more of a lurker. In any case I'm around again. The landrush has roused me and I have assembled a simple poll for all of us to use so we may get an easy estimate as to the member opinions on where exactly we should settle. This is a CRUCIAL decision and the time is swiftly approaching.

If it is not out of line I would like to also request this be stickied if at all possible.

Thank you for participating.

Update:

H 32% (7) - Taken
Z 9% (2)
AA 18% (4)
AB 14% (3) - Taken
AD 5% (1) - Taken


So far the votes look like this for the 8 people who voted (22 total nominations).

Meaning that Z, and AA are still left to us if I understand right.

Space now that we know which are taken it might be a good idea to reset the poll...

I'd hold off on it, from what I hear they are modifying all the other locations, wait until we have an updated map.

I went ahead an created a google form for us to use every week. Since we already know the three new hexes will also have the names H, AB, and AD just reused I included them in the options. You will be able to edit your response every week so if things change week to week you can also change it. I created the form in just a way that there are 30 questions and you select A-AD as an option for each question. It either isn't designed into the form creation or I just wasn't smart enough to make it so that it takes out options you have already picked. So just be careful when you are going through to make sure you are putting the same letter for more than one slot. I also only made the first 5 and the last 5 required questions. It will be best for everyone if you do all 30 choices, but if you really don't think doing that has merit, knowing your top 5 and the 5 you would be the most unhappiest at I think is important.

All the responses will get collected into a spreadsheet automatically that the administrator can use to help inform decisions.

Now you can go ahead and start filling out your responses now and just put H, AD, and AB in random places because we don't know where they are going to be. Or you could wait till Monday. You can also start now submit it, and then go back and edit it when the new 3 get revealed.

Here is the link: docs.google.com/forms/d/1E38PmdAM5dtGZjvUOjZrvMvBJzUGmzaKjFUOAxfCRhY/viewform?usp=send_form

Also if you don't like the way this works just let me know and we can do something else.

Thanks Nymerias! That's a great idea and a helpful tool. I will wait til the map is released to fill it out myself. Will we be able to see our picks after we hit submit?

[Nymerias]

I went ahead and filled mine out just to be able to play with the editing after submitting. Which I only got to do just after submitting, but wasn't able to figure out how to edit it after having closed it. What I can do is delete the responses every week to keep the data neat, but it will just mean more drop down menus for us.

I also only did the first and last 5 on mine. When the new map comes out I'll redo it to include the other options, but I don't think the new options are going to be our top choices if we want to stay near to the zone being carved out by TEO/T7V. I say this because someone on the forums pointed out that while it is nice they "won" the first round not having the knowledge that 3 more grayed out settlements would open up as a result could really change what they are trying to do. They picked a place to build a player friendly zone, but if nearby settlements opened up in the landrush it could disrupt the bubble they were going for. A Goblin replied with acknowledging they had a valid concern and letting them know he could at least tell them the new hexes are all at least 6 hexes away from AB, AD. So looking at the map in paint I just put a red x on all the currently grayed out settlement hexes with 6 squares of them. The ones left over aren't as appealing to me. There is one that might be a contender. It is right along the path from Z to that crater hex. Though I would want to know who would be in S and U because we would likely be running into each other a lot looking for starmetal.


Edit: I didn't answer your question. I don't know if you get to see your own answers, but you do get to see a summary of all the responses. Each question shows a little pie graph off tot he side showing how often a hex was chosen for that spot. It will be nice to see the pie graphs morph as more and more people come back to the game and put their input in.

Nymerias,

Very handy little tool thanks.

[Nymerias]

So from playing around with it, I discovered that you can click edit your responses right after submitting. If you save that url somewhere you will always be able to go back and edit your responses. The editting responses updates the spreadsheet properly.

So currently after you fill out the form please make sure to email the url to yourself or something so you can edit your responses later.

Man that was hard, took a while for me to figure out how to link my Piazo and goblinworks account. I have now applied to the guild via the land rush website. that should get us to 22 once me and the other guy get approved.
