Might I present the most often requested poll of all time?

Readers of this forum will already know <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=71686' target='_blank'>this</a> topic - this poll is created to get an idea of the popular sentiment regarding the unchaining of the alien upgrade chambers.

Please note however that this poll holds no sway over Flayras design decisions in any way.

    I voted no because it would be awesome without chambers chained, and because there are no reasons to have them chained.

    Darn it, I hit yes when now I can see I meant no. I mean, the title of the thread is a question that I was answering, right?! Doh.

    Its easy to say no to this cause well lets see cloaking is dumb and you woulf never get any good upgrades cause u have to have 3 hives for any of them to do anything good so a 2 hive onos would suck but be better then a 1 hive so dont change anything.

    I, too, voted yes.. That question is horribly worded.

    Wouldn't it be easier to do it with a straight forward question and not a riddle?

    Yeah, maybe change it too "Remove hive requirements for multiple chamber types?" As the original topic worded it.

    The only problem with unchaining chambers is the loss of incentive to grab that second or third hive. Perhaps we should up the hive cost and make hives add damage/hitpoints/armor/etc? Also a thought would be making the Onos on hive two in combination with the stats boosting.

    I voted no, unchaining the chambers would really change the dynamics of this game (for the better). Who cares if balance is thrown off whack?! It's a BETA!

    Any possibility of remaking this thread with the quesiton being

    "Should Chambers be unchained?"
    "Yes, unchain the chambers"
    "No, leave it how it is"
    "Who gives a rats ****?"

    I voted no, but only after I read on to find out that no means yes, unchain the chambers.

    Is it possable to re-word it?

    I move for a new thread with the question changed to:

    Do you or do you not want to negate approval for lack of chamber accessibility to be untied to the number of hives, or not?

    With choices of: "Aye" "Nay" and "Eh What?"

    Seriously, make the question read:

    <span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'>Unchain the chambers?

    1. Yes.
    2. No.</span>


    You don't need a 3rd option that says "3. I don't know." because IT ADDS NOTHING TO THE POLL! EITHER YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE VOTING ABOUT OR YOU GET THE HELL OUT

    A 'I don't know / care' option makes sense to get an idea of whether the whole forum population is basically screaming for it, or whether only a vocal minority stands behind an issue. Anyway, that's what I get for copy/pasting. New poll will be up shortly.
