**UPDATE: Poll closed, 56 responses is the final number. Thank you.**
Welcome to the last poll before the February Country President elections. The participation and feedback have been excellent and I want to thank all of you for helping make this a success.
TAKE THE ONE MINUTE SURVEY
A strange thing happened during the course of the last survey... donations big and small started coming in, adding to the pot of what my original sponsors had provided. I would love to make of these polling exercises a business but once I actually started working on them, that was not my intention at all. Therefore I find myself in a position where I can increase the amount I grant for your answers from $50 to $100.
The only concern people have expressed to me so far has to do with confidentiality. Ultimately it is a question of trust but I will explain the practice I’ve employed so far. When donating to citizen accounts, I grab only the ID from the survey database (none of the associated answers). Later, when compiling the data, I do the opposite and grab everything except for the ID. Lastly, I’ve so far worked on the analysis while being offline. That doesn’t mean I couldn’t identify the answers of any one participant, obviously I possess that data, but I’ve worked to minimize that temptation. If you don’t trust me, you don’t answer... if you don’t answer, my data isn’t as good. Therefore it is in my best interest to keep your answers strictly confidential.
You will notice a few changes in the questions. I’ve restricted the options for party membership. This is partly to streamline the survey and partly because the sample for non-top 5 parties has been so small. If I discovery a significant change in the participation of members from non-top 5 parties, I may change it again. The choices for Country President has been restricted to 5. This is the reflect the fact that parties are starting to make official their choices. It may still change (Kronos Q and Wally Cleaver are not confirmed and nobody ever knows what Rolo will do).
I realize that questions that deal with ethics are never black and white and that by limiting the choices I appear to be simplifying it that way. Please answer the best way you can knowing that each question has more nuance than can be measured in a survey.
I’ve removed the comments question. Please feel free to provide the feedback to me directly if you would like.
10 question. Approximately 1 minute. $100.

Because time becomes an issue now, this poll will close on the morning of the 3rd at 5 am EST. That would be day 1,536, 2:00 server time (I believe).
Results to be posted later on the 3rd or extraordinarily on the 4th.
The CPF got nearly 10% in the last poll. That's not small.

@Funky, I know, it's what makes the non-top 5 category relevent otherwise there still wouldn't have been enough sample.
~hyuu~
welcome
Should look into something on the survey about the donations so you can save yourself a few clicks every time and those of us who are just going to donate it right back to you 😉 Also, you should really make a "never" choice or something akin for those ethics questions.
...and if you're looking for something to do with all those returned funds or over-supply of donations, perhaps a lottery for all participants. Some might pass on 50-100 but could be enticed to enter their responses if a larger jackpot were given out to a winner (a possibility to generate some added fun/anticipation)
Thanks for continuing the poll series.
Thank you for continuing to give me a reason to read the media!

Guys if you don't want to feel greedy and don't want the money, give it to me, I'll make good use of it. 😉
@Etemenanki: That's not a bad idea for the donation question although I'm happy to be able to provide the little amounts of funds. I know it's not much to many but think of it as a bonus on your MU funding that day.
"Never" is always tricky. ; )
@Plugson: That's a pretty decent idea. What about if I did something like one $1,000 random draw for each increment of 25 participants?
The poll will be open 7 more hours. So if any feel like shouting the link, please do so. I hate to close early but I want to get the results out during the day/evening tomorrow if possible.
Whatever amounts you prefer and in what increments will be best. Just don't charge to hefty a commission on the jackpot as a processing fee for handling the draw. I'll send in my $100 now to help add to the pot (in case you do go this route).
Thanks. It was a surprise for me, because I didn't observe that you offer money for the answers.
