CCSF 09 Poll #1.5

Would you be happy with a November CCSF that starts on the 1st (Sunday) and ends on the 14th (Saturday)?

This is a simple yes/no poll to help decide on the dates of the Creatures Community Spirit Festival for 2009.

To make things perfectly clear, a 'yes' vote indicates that you are in favour of these dates whilst a 'no' vote indicates that you are opposed to them. You do not have to explain why you voted either way if you do not want to. If you are opposed to holding the CCSF at any time in November or for a period of two weeks then you should vote 'no' and request a repoll. If the majority votes this way then we will have to re-do Poll #1.

Overview:
As you may or may not know, a week-long poll was recently held across Albia 2000, Creatures Caves and Creaturetopia to decide upon when and for how long we should have this year's CCSF. As a result of Poll #1, the majority voted for a two week festival in November.

This November 1st marks the tenth year since Creatures 3 was first realeased, and it was a fairly large factor in why people chose to vote for November. As such, a festival starting on the 1st of November and ending on the 14th would appear to be a choice that everybody would support, however, just to be on the safe side, a poll was held over in Creaturetopia, the forum that dominated in the votes.

This poll recently ended (and in a fairly decisive manner, with 8 supporting a Nov 1st - 14th CCSF and only 1 opposed), but due to popular demand I am now posting similar polls in other forums.

Conditions:
Anybody who has not already voted in another Poll #1.5 may vote in this one. I am not counting posts from other threads right now either, as that would just get confusing, so if you've indicated your preference in another CCSF thread please do so here as well. It goes without saying that you are only allowed to vote once in this poll.

You are welcome to discuss the pros and cons of a Nov. 1st - 14th CCSF in this thread as much as you like, and you are encouraged to tell others about it, even if you are only doing so to try and convince them to vote the same way as you. The more people who vote, the better.

I will tally the votes a week from now, on the afternoon of Thursday the 18th (my time, GMT +10).

Results:
The poll results currently stands as follows:
Creaturetopia: Yes (8 votes), No (1 vote)
Creatures Caves: Yes (5 votes), No (0 votes)
Albia 2000: Yes (2 votes), No (0 votes)

(Please feel free to copy & paste this thread into other forums if you feel like helping out. I am posting it here on Creatures Caves and over on Albia 2000, but as it's for the Creatures Community Spirit Festival you may post it on any Creatures Community forum. The only thing I ask is that you provide links so that we can all see that everything is on the level.

EDIT: Also, yes, I am aware that you have a poll system here, but as you can see I had a lot of stuff to explain, and personally I'd rather have discussion in a thread as well as votes rather than no discussion at all.)

Quite nicely put. Thanks for doing this.

I've already voted in the Ctopia poll but I'll plug my reasoning anyway:

In my view mixing CCSF up with other holidays tends to take away a bit from the theme of community spirit, not to mention people aren't around as much due to holiday festivities.
The 1st-14th, I believe, is ideal because it does not clash with any other holidays; it fits quite nicely between Halloween and (US) Thanksgiving.

(Plus, it means CCSF will be going on during my birthday, but that's just a personal matter :P)

Whoops; forgot to vote on the other poll. >_>

Since I honestly don't care when the CCSF's held (and I already said my piece about why on 'Topia), I'll go with the majority and vote yes to the 1st-14th.


You have to be honest with yourself when you are writing. If that leads to somewhere unexpected then perhaps you really needed to go there.

No problem Amaikokonut, since I put up the first one I felt that it'd be easier for everybody if I just did the rest.

So far this all seems pretty expected though, as you can all see Creatures Caves has 4 'yes' votes and 0 'no' votes, and Albia2000 has 2 'yes' votes and 0 'no' votes... Well, there's a few days left, so I suppose that it could change before this poll closes.

Well, the poll is well and truly over, both here and on Albia 2000.

The end results are fairly obvious, with no big changes since my last post (Malkin was the only person to vote after that). All three forums polled voted with a majority wishing for a November 1st - November 14th CCSF, see my first post for the exact numbers if you like.

Thanks to those of you who took the time to vote, your input is greatly appreciated :)
