SKU Statistics Poll #1 Results

[Victus]

SKU Statistics Poll #1 (Round 4, near middle round)

Well the votes have been tallied in. In this poll we received replies from ~160 StarKingdoms Players, ruffly 3.7% of the playing population.

There are a few confounding variables I would like to mantion before you read into the statistics. Firstly not everyone answered every question. It's not a big issue, just means there's a difference between the total and the individual question total.Another problem (which should only affect a couple of results) was the turn out from the alliances. The polls were posted in some alliance forums, but not others. We had people place them in AF's (or at least they said they would), and for one reason or another they weren't posted/were deleted/results never forwarded to SKU. For this reason the alliance preferences shouldn't be taken as the perfect statistical truth, more like a ruff sketch. Also Zamoloxis had two large alliances, where the poll was posted in both AF's. For this reason there is a good chance that their results are slightly, if not majorly scewed. And finally, for the statistics involving alliance security, many people misread the question. This might offset the accuracy of the poll slightly. Now onto the results...

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post your opinion.

Some Interesting side notes I found while putting all this together...

Source dominated the younger players, while Fenris help a strong grip on the older players.

Players under 1 million and over 10 million NW as their maximum almost religously voted pro-retal, where as other groups in the middle voted against them.

The group of 10 million + NW isn't as large as it seems. Remember, that's alot of poeple grouped into one space for the sake of making being able to actually post the graph. In reality after 10 million NW there is a sharp decline in the number of votes. There was a slight nudge around 30 million max NW.

I deny that this results are biased towards Zamolxe.

[SuckyDucky]

The results are OBVIOUSLY biased to Zamolxis and you know it Roberto

On the other hand, the results are somewhat interesting.. I hope this returns atleast once a round

[Victus]

lol I thaught you might Rob. Just mentioned the fact that Zamo had two full alliances where the poll was posted. Some alliances didn't even get their results in so it biases the data slightly.

[Ragen]

Just because we're smart enough to use both our alliances to make the poll biased doesn't make it biased! AAAAAAAAAAAAnywaaaaaaaaay, Zamo is the greatest, so how else could the results go?

they are roberto but since zamo rules, who cares?

[tobasco kid]

These links don't work for me... is the link out of date, or is it my browser or something?
Oh, and BTW Zamo Su... don't rule actually. They KT people for posting suiciders

[Grubnessul]

the link works fine for me...

[shelovestherain]

Heh...interesting posts. I think if we continue this poll, we'll likely find these results will change significantly: right now the majority of people answering are experienced, and if we continue, the polls like "number of games" and "KTed" will go towards the lower values, due to more noobs picking up on the poll taking place.

I'd also like to see one for S2, if anyone would care to run it.

[WhiteCity]

i don't think its biased at all.
I just think that it needed to poll more people.

I don't know about everyone else, but the questions were posted in the afs of Zamolxis, and a bunch of people answered them there.

the # of people asked needs to be increased.

also, another thing, is it possible, victus, to make those excel graphs larger? i had to save a few of em to my hard disk and then magnify them.

thanks.

[Victus]

the last poll got 160 people. It takes awhile to get all that info into readable numbers and graphs but yes we're hoping for more respondants.

As for graph sizes... probably not. The image hosting site auto resizes images at a certain point. The best I can probably do it try to get less data on them so I can make them bigger (ie less names on the graphs etc)

[unclean]

or pay for a new host site! cheap ass (thats if you can buy one as i know nothing about that sorta things.
