You're correct that this poll does not accurately represent the views of the population of Aces High players. However, the number of those responding has little bearing (a 4% sample is actually pretty darn good when you consider that scientific opinion polls can accurately gauge public opinion with less than 1/10th of a percentage of the American population polled).

The main problem a forum-based poll like this one suffers from is non-randomness (randomness being a key component of unbiased poll results). Those who participate choose to do so of their own accord (i.e. self-selection rather than random selection), and the chances are very good that forum participants differ significantly from regular players anyway. So even if you manage to obtain a fully random sample of forum views, those views may not generalize to all Aces High players.

It seems to me that the majority of the guys wanting night time restored are just as blind at high noon... If you have no SA to begin with, darkness is your ally.

My regards,

and I bet there are alot more than 3000 subscribers.

and 118 replies includes all the multiple posts by individuals.

Ehh, a whole lot more than a CNN poll, and they take thenselves pretty seriously.

YES, put night back.

Better yet, I would like to see HiTech take actual poll of ALL of its members as to whether night should be active in the MA. Since all subscibing members can fly in the MA, each and every member should have a voice on this issue.

Ah. Well, then....I say "no" to night. It's always seemed to me to be the most peculiar feature of AH - WWII fighters furballing on the deck in the dark.

I'm all for night, so long as it's never night when I want to fly.

Those that like night should just keep sets of welding goggles on their desks and periodically take them on and off.

Probably because you're from Meeshigun.

And, furthermore, the suggestion is perfectly logical given that "night" only disadvantages those that choose to be disadvantaged, due to the gamma exploit. For everyone else, it's just annoying.

Is that why there are 4 threads around here with tons of people wanting it back and syaing that they enjoyed night?

By The way, not from Michigan, I ain't lost nothing there. Not planning on heading there, and from what I hear I ain't missing nothing by not going there.
