Next game world vote

Hint - YOU do not NEED to play every long game world

[Fscamp]

I hope it will be another long game world, I just hate it when I have a great airline running and then the game ends in 2019 or something.

So how about then the 'something else'.

Whole world, BUT you can only base in Africa or South America. Possibly so that you could open additional bases freely anywhere in the same continent (no national border limits). Longhaul does exist but with limited demand and local shorthaul demand would be boosted. However this could be too exotic ...

And the full/long world to replace GW#1 would start in about 2 months from now, approx..

Normal Long Game World gets 38% of the vote but an alternative is suggested?
What was the point of a vote then?
:-)

BUT ... regardless of how I voted.....I am with you Sami another normal long game world now would probably just take players from GW #2 & GW #4 as I cant see too many players committing to 3 x full game worlds at the same time, way too much effort required.

The Africa, Sth America idea works for me

What time era are you thinking? I like this idea with time era 2000 to ?

And guess what? I don't. But I have an alliance to think of, and our member base is a bit too thin to have a new long game start every few weeks. It's not only a matter of having a presence in the new world, but a new game also damages our standing in running worlds when players switch their focus.

38% for the long game and 62% for something shorter...

Indeed, an initial vote with just those two options followed by a vote on the winning option would be a good way to conduct these polls in future, although it would perhaps always lead to the same exact game!

Glad you are not a representative of your nations Electoral Commission
Every vote not for Party A must be for Party B so lets put them into Government...lol

[brique]

Dont see the problem... new long game cant start immediately anyway so we get a one-off scenario short game to fill the wait... win-win for all... except for me cos them pesky jets get kept in both... I demand a recount!

Not at all, its allowing the other 2/3rds of the vote to actually have a say! What you're advocating by dismissing the option is that Party A get into Government with 2/3rds of the people not wanting them!

We're not voting for a government here, the options are very much more simple. Do the 'majority' want a short game or a long game? Decision made. Do the 'majority' then want game X, Y or Z of the game type chosen?

You may get less that 33% of people getting exactly what they actually want but 66% of people will get something far more closely resembling what they want.  If only governments could operate on such a basis!

Hi Ben

I am wondering why you are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill? It's very simple as Sami said in his post .... 38% for the long game and 62% for something shorter... I actually voted for a longer game but the vote went for something shorter

Enough said

[schro]

Well, the form of government in the game is dictatorship rather than democracy, so really, you can vote all you want but the dictator decides what goes ;-).

[Kadachiman]

Wouldn't that make it a Monarchy then?

LOL

Fixed for clarity ;-).

Im not! He's pretty much done what I was suggesting, albeit, as of now, not give those who voted for a long game a say in what short game may take place. 

My last post was only a response to the suggestion that what was proposed was unfair, when clearly it was not.

I have not a molehill of a problem!

[fxtorres]

I voted for a long game, but if finally the winner is going to be decided by adding the other results, I would like to have the option of voting for some of the short games.

On the other hand, if you offer 1 option for a long game and 5 options for short games, and then you add up all the 5 short games, the result seems to be pretty predictable.

Anyway: have we got a decision yet?
