There are two questions in this poll; the first is specific but not very limiting and the second is a narrowing of the topic. This poll will be open until 10:00 PM Monday, September 11th.

And once again: if you do not record your votes in a reply to this thread your votes will not be counted.

Nova points. - 1 (11%)

I want to change my vote for question 2 to option 1. If I can. I changed my mind.

What the hell, that should not have happened.

Ashnod and anyone else who did not have a chance to vote: please record your votes in a reply here. I'm putting the questions below.

Question 1: What method should be used to advance characters?
  • 1. Nova points.
  • 2. Experience points.
  • 3. Writers/players should be solely responsible for their character's advancement.


Question 2: If rewards are used, how should rewards be given?
  • 1. On a "flat time" basis.
  • 2. On a "by merit" basis (number of posts, completed stories, etc).
  • 3. A combination of a "flat rate" basis and a "by merit" basis.

By my count the vote is currently...

Issue #1: 0-13-0
Issue #2: 8-01-4

I'm not sure when on the 11th the vote stops so this might be the final (assuming no errors in counting). I let Machina change his vote from 3 to 1 for issue #2, and Singularity change his vote from 1 to 2 for Issue #1. If anyone feels like having a "hanging chad" discussion I'll point out our error of messurement is smaller than the margin of victory. wink

So do we start a new thread for "how much" and "how often"?
