~*~*~ Census and Games: The Survey! (Complete with new mod info)

As you've all probably seen at this point, we're in need of a new C&G mod. And even though the MS makes the final decision, it seems right that you all get your say, too.

And not just about the new mod - as C&G as a whole. I may be the one handing out colors and warnings, but it's not my forum, it's our forum. And as such, I want to know what you all think.

I cribbed some(okay, a lot of) questions from an old C&G survey Tyi and I put up a few years ago (so credit to him for much of this). I want to know what you guys think. If you want to let me know and don't feel comfortable answering in public, feel free to PM me all or part of your thoughts. If you don't feel comfortable PMing me about something, our three friendly neighborhood admins are always available and willing to hear what you have to say.

(And I should add that any time you have anything to say, good or bad, don't be afraid to PM me. I'll listen to anything you have to say, and I'm always really happy to hear from people.)


A New Mod

We are getting one I have ideas, but I want to hear from you guys as well. If you have a specific suggestion for a person, PM me. Please DO NOT post specific suggestion in this thread. Let me know why you think that person (or persons, if you have multiple suggestions) would be a good C&G mod.

And as a side note, I make no promises that the person you recommend will be the person who's promoted, so please don't be offended if someone else is chosen.


And onto . . . the survey!

I should note, these survey questions are more like guidelines than specific things you should answer. If you have anything else to say, any suggestions to make, or would prefer to reply differently, by all means, please do!

Note on the mod questions: They?re things I?d like to know, though often official mod reviews go through the admins. If you?d rather not post anything here or PM me, any of the admins can pass it on to me anonymously, and Rogue?Jedi has specifically volunteered to.

 

Long survey. Detailed, though.

Will fill out and send in my copy at some point.

 

Will do.

 

Most of the credit goes to Tyi

 

That crazy old chap

 

I'll get this survey in as soon as possible.

 

I'll try to do something with this survey, although all I pretty much do is drafts so I don't know how useful I'll be on the other stuff.

 

Thanks, guys, I appreciate it!

That's okay, comment on what you know

 

Also, remember, if you guys have a suggestion for the new mod, I'd really appreciate hearing. A couple people have sent me suggestions, and they've been really great. I seriously want to know what you all think.

 

Unpinning this in the hopes that it'll be more visible.

The survey doesn't have and end date, but if you'd like to send me your input on potential mod candidates, I ask that you do so within the next week.
