New page

This page is a stopgap for me to collect opinions from Meshies, although depending on the results it may evolve into a real Thing. -Kyrien

I'm shortly going to need the ability to run polls to accurately judge Meshies' opinions on various things. What do we think on that?

We could:

A) Just put them up on a wiki page (this one!) and let people add their names to the options they favor, on an honor system

B) Set up a voting booth near Tanis with stash-only chests for each option and use personal chits to vote (which would be returned or destroyed, for those who use chits for trading) or

B) Petition Kasiya to let elders create faction-only votes, as for tests, with no game-mechanical effect other than announcing their results when finished.

All of these options seem to have merit to me. A is simplest but most easily undermined by a bad actor; I wouldn't even consider it in a community that isn't like ATITD's, but here it could well work. C requires us to petition the developer and hope it's doable, but should be pretty ironclad once done. B's in the middle; people could theoretically take chits from shops and use them to cast votes on others' behalf, but it wouldn't be a casual thing at least.

This is going to be used for next-tech voting once established, and for any one-off cases where the elders need to be sure we're accurately representing the public will. (I do have one of those cases prompting this now.)

I prefer replies in-game, either in private chats or on Meshwesh house chat, but in the latter case please make sure I tell you I 'got it'. Voting on this page will only commence if A is chosen. -Kyrien
