***This informal poll is not in any way related to anything Dale or the company may or may not be developing nor is it sponsored by them***

Click Here: Dadtallica's Community Preference Poll *Its just a free account and the fonts are not editable. You may want to zoom out a bit in your browser.

It's all me! Of course it will be mostly limited to the players in here that choose to take a stand but you are all welcome to share it with any of your AH friends or squadmates wherever you all gather. Dale is of course more than welcome to slap it up on the clipboard!  :aok

This survey asks about your preferred activities in Aces High III and your views on the top six proposed Main Arena or gameplay changes. It is not an official HiTech Creations poll or a promise of development. Please answer based on your own preferences. Only one submission allowed. You must answer all questions to submit an entry. The last question asks you to provide a GameID/Bulletin Board Handle or remain anonymous. No real names or emails are required or collected. Results will be posted when entries stop trickling in.

Here is a summary of the questions:
  • Sortie Preference
  • Win the War Preference
  • Country Total Preference
  • Dot Dar Preference
  • Smaller Map Thresholds
  • Country Change Timer
  • Country Auto-Switching For All

Please do not engage in any tomfoolery and let's settle this for good... or for now lol!

Enjoy!

Fine with me lol I’m not a criminal thanks. It doesn’t collect that that I get to see. It’s just a free account nothing nefarious.

Where in Tally's Privacy Policy does it state poll creators gain access to IP address information?  :rolleyes:

I have no idea what Tally.so is, but if you run a website or forum you have access to every IP address that hits your website... and you can see browser info and other stuff.

So - no thanks.

Plus it's a dumb poll that won't prove anything and is pointless.

this SMF forum software allows polls - if HTC cared to enable it.

It’s a poll making website it’s not mine lol you’re weird.

You haven’t read one question of it but you know all about it? It would directly speak to a lot of the issues you and I have discussed together, depending on how many people sample. Now you’re just being a troll.

Everyone has free will.

Ya, that was fun. I think it should have been more detailed but I think it's a good start.

Maybe a question for the hundreds of players that don't play anymore about why they left and what would bring them back? Maybe a question about if people think AH3 can compete with games like WT with it's FTP or Il2's buy it own it forever format? How can we get more players?

Just some ideas. Enjoyed the survey. Good idea.

Oh hey, that’s a really good question. I wish I had thought about it. Filed for the next one lol.

I didn’t want make it terribly nuanced so there would not be too large an grey area between the responses.

I did read some of the questions. But even if I didn't read the questions, it's a stupid pole because it has zero weight to anything that goes on here. You're going to get only a few people that happen to see this thread answering questions and then you're going to come back with a conclusion that doesn't mean Jack squat. Lol.

So yeah, it's completely worthless and stupid.

Also, another good suggestion I didn’t wanna make it too long. I thought 9-10 was long enough.

Some of the questions may help infer to whether or not how many people might want this.

Well, then, if that’s the case, nothing we say or do here carries any weight anywhere anyway so, what’s the difference?

If you go make a poll that you think is better, I would be happy to answer every question.

If you had no intention of doing it anyways, what was the whole point of you even coming into this thread to begin with?
