People need to play Rambo Match more often.  It's really the greatest mode besides CTF.

I find it remarkable that people change their ingamename around 3.33 times. I've been terrorizing the internet with my current nickname for over 7 years or so.

Thanks for doing the sevey though

[DePhille]

Hmm, lemme take a look at the survey again, sorry for that mishap. There are alot of double entries for things that were freely to enter (such as the versions and maps) so I had to merge them all manually (which took alot of time). I seemed to have missed some, I'll fix them in a second.

EDIT: Alright, merged the two results and added the next entry that would've come up in the top 10, ctf_Run with two votes.

Wait....there's 115 entries, and there's 114 males and females. Has one of them not defined their sex?

And I find the results about having found out about soldat by magazine surprising, since GameInformer informed me of its existence.

[DePhille]

Yeah, there are some things to take in account:
- Some entries were valid, except for some data. (for example non-existing versions or an age of 100)
- Some browser fail to sed certain parts of the form, which causes a "Yes-No only field" to be empty. (which was the other vote in the sex question)
- Some questions got adapted,changed or added during the first ten or fifteen entries. (in case of the magazine)
- 1.4.1 came out at around the 95th entry.

And Airpirates FTW!
Where the hell was this poll at? I never took anything of this matter.

[Wormdundee]

It quite clearly says at the top that it was at SoldatPage, which I assume you don't go to.

Who forgot to check their pants?

RM is really fun IMO.  Hmm... what's the difference between [Soldat Forums] and [SoldatForums] (besides the lack of a space)?

People need to play Rambo Match more often. It's really the greatest mode besides CTF.

It would be fun if players didn't only choose the Barrett M82A1 and the M79 all of the time during the game.

Male to Female Ratio:     44.7:1

Something has gone very wrong here.

[Commander Kitsune]

I didn't take the survey.

[DePhille]

The survey was held on SoldatPage indeed, and was well advertised in the general discussions forum and some other communities aswell.
However, it is impossible to reach every player, so considering the amount of players on these forums (around 4500?) there's only a small chance that you took the survey (around 3%).

Indeed, there was a mishap with the communities, Soldat Forums should've been the same as SoldatForums. However, that has been fixed now. Thanks for reporting!

I was indeed also quite surprised to see that there was only one female who participated. However, there's not much of a diffrence between 44.7:1 and 114:1, if there would've been one extra female who participated in the survey, stats would've been 57:1.

I'm thinking about relaunching the survey when this topic dies out. I hope it gets even more attention than before so stats can get even more accurate. If you have any question you would like to have asked in the new survey, let me know!

I was actually quite surprised at some of these results...

Really nice work DePhille! Thanks for putting that together for us.

[DePhille]

No problem, it was fun setting it up and interesting to calculate .
I'm currently trying to think of new questions for a next edition.
