In-game poll / survey system

There is urgent need for in-game polling system. These external forums are not representative enough... Common, guys, how long does it take? 2 hours to create this add-on?

I think that 5 answers should be enough and only one poll should run at time.

To what end?

I don't understand - what do you mean by "to what end?"

He means "Why do you want this?"

That, and "What would this accomplish?"

It would be really good to have truly representative polling system available to all members of region, e.g. for resolving UN issues etc.

We can clearly say that there is need for in-game (regional) polling system as the forums are underepresented and cluttered. E.g. let' say region has 120 members, 50 of which are participating in the forum, those 50 could vote (forum allows to create a survey), but what about other 70 members of the same region? They are not represented in any way.

You can say: why they don't join the forums? Ah, let's say, forums are sometimes slow, hard to navigate and of course opening in the new browser window... thus creating a feel of something unrelated to NS game...

It is entirely possible to create a regional forum, seperate to the official NS forums. That can easily resolve problems like you mentioned.

if they can't go register on some stupid forums, then they don't deserve to be part of regional politics.

Doesn't open in a new browser for me unless I specifically tell it to, I'm not sure what browser you're using. I've never seen this with IE, Netscape, Mozilla or Firefox.

I still see no compelling reason to completely overhaul the game code.
