Why don't you start mailing everybody that they should make a forum account hmm? And of course make sure that nobody makes 2 accounts. Also we would like you to count all the votes and see if nobody forgot to vote, or hasn't registrated. Also please be our man to which we can funnel all complaints for the lets say 49% of the people that wanted something else.
Could you do that for us? Thanks.
Threatening innogames with account deletion or otherwise isn't helping matters. The mods only see a few, rather belligerent, complainers. While their polls offer a much larger sample. We don't know how many of those voting in game have PA, and assuming external forum posts contain a good sample of players would be a poor choice.
To the point, first rule of persuasive writing is to ask nicely.
The problem with in game surveys is that they can also be easily rigged.
Just to prove my point, I made an account on World 47, voted on the surveys and now won't log onto the account ever again. Is that really fair, that someone who doesn't even play the world can have a say in how the world will change for other people? No, it's not. If that is then repeated on a larger scale - voilá, you have your desired result.
A forum poll would actually make much more sense than an in game poll. That way you can keep an eye on who is voting and make sure they're actually active players on the world. You'll note that those against it (publicly) are the "key players", so to speak, of this world. But, of course, those who aren't really active, contribute very little to the world or don't even play at all (such as myself) are now fully entitled to determine the fate of the world because the TW Staff did not think their survey through and have left it open to immense distortion.
So now that I have pointed out this (seemingly deliberate) flaw, I am sure those "key players" (who are also the more famous players throughout TribalWars as a whole) would also be fully within their rights to take advantage of a terrible system to actually get a result that would benefit the world, not the TW Staff.
Edit: I am also curious as to why the TW Staff have decided to run polls on other, more complicated changes that have never been done before (such as speed change, morale, etc), yet wouldn't go with the far simpler notion of actually asking the people of the world whether they want the Army Camps taken away in the first place or not? It makes very little sense whatsoever - the Staff have always said changing settings mid game is difficult, so instead of not changing any settings, they leave it open to change 4, without first asking people if they wanted any changes whatsoever to start? Logic is fun, its unfortunate the Staff seem oblivious to it.
