RTS Kit Community Census

With the launch of the RTS Kit Blog, its also launched a census. A census?? Yeah... here is the why: while knowing people and debating on the thread "Who's alive in this part of the world?" I realize that we dont know nothing about ourselves as group of RTS developers. How many we are? Do we use the kit? What tools do we use? Elemental questions that we must answer if want to really create an active group.

So! here's is the thing: the census is only 4 multiple choice questions, plus one optional comments field.
We must debate how much time to wait until the census is "ready for analisis". BUT, prior to that, PLEASE! Fill the and send the form of the census!

Here is the link:
RTS Kit Community Census


Hope you all find some time to answer those 4 simple questions, and that way, we all gather information about ourselves.


P.S.: Just remember: this census is only for RTS Kit owners

Well its "somebody else". BUT, its for the RTS owners community, not for any secret-strange-marketting thing. ;)

maybe i'm stupid, but why not asking such things inside the RTS only forums, so you are sure only RTS owner will answer?

No Frank, you arent stupid (as far as I can see ;).

I think about that option already, but I suspect it would easily became a mess-thread, and then the info have to be copied and parsed... and I hope to have much info, so choosed to use a specialized tool, acepting the risk of non RTS kit voters.

Anyway, on this type of census or survey, the chances of people not related interfering , are minimal.

EDIT: 17 people till now. Not bad for 2 and a half days uh? C'mon people, Just do it! (C)(TM)(cuack!)

EDIT 2: Here we are, three days later and only 2 more forms completed, for a total of 19. It seems that really few people walks the paths of the RTS... anyway the census keep opens, if you dont fill the form yet, do it now, there are only 4 simple questions.

EDIT 3: 22 to the moment. Its not really much people... I wonder, its that number representative? are we so few?

EDIT 4: 24 :) Partial Results

EDIT 5: 26

EDIT 6: 28

EDIT 6: 30
