Re: Poll village population
Hrm... I would suggest making a poll on the forum, but I don't believe that is allowed in Inn of Brodgar.borka wrote:http://static.strawpoll.me/privacy-policy.html

Re: Poll village population
In the spirit of statistics:
- You did not supply an option for village size < 5, leaving a good portion of villages unrepresented.
- You are asking on the forums. The more casual players generally don't frequent this place much; they likely more often live in smaller villages.
- You are asking on the forums. Non-English-speaking players don't visit this forum, leaving them severely underrepresented.
- You are giving one vote per player. This means that the poll will be skewed towards bigger villages due to them receiving more votes. As example, say everybody in a village votes. If only a village of 5 and a village of 30 were to vote, you would get 5 '5' votes and 30 '30' votes, apparently making the "average" size 26.43 - whereas in reality it would be 17.5 in this example.

Re: Poll village population
All those things could be easily accounted for and are just to be approximate. I don't consider >5 a village.VDZ wrote:In the spirit of statistics:
