Going to take a moment to address a few concerns brought up in public and/or private to go on record. Originally, I was just going to mostly ignore the concerns, because let's face it...you can NEVER please everyone and I've already been down these socio-political debates in the past (anyone old enough to remember the bloodbath that nearly happened when "pansexual" was left off the initial options?)

Regarding alts:
There have been multiple concerns that the lack of including alts will "skew the results." I strongly disagree and actually have the complete opposite view. The inclusion of alts is what would skew results. Not everyone has alts. Thus, someone with alts would essentially have more 'voting power' than someone without alts. On the other side of the spectrum, if someone with multiple alts (such as myself) has a character for every race, that effectively negates your vote since every race is selected. The lack of inclusion of alts in this census is, in SE's terms, working as intended. Should someone not have a character that they consider their "main," then they can select one at random or however they wish. There is, after all, nobody that's going to challenge them on which one their main is or isn't.

Regarding profession options:
There are a TON of possible IC professions that one can have. To put them all down would be near impossible. Nothing was purposely omitted. The survey went before a group of peers (mods and patrons) to review before being published and nothing was disputed aside from the desire to add more specific questions and a single option to one of the existing questions. Should a suitable option not be present, the other option exists solely for that purpose. I will be the poor sap that sifts through those fill in the blank responses to tally up and should something be written in enough, I will add it into its own subcategory in the final results.

Regarding the lack of Ala Mhigo/Gyr Abania, Doma/Othard:
This was actually a mistake and these options should have been included. I apologize for not including them. The original question/responses were pretty much copied over from the 2013 census, when these regions were virtually unknowns to us at the time and thus weren't included back then. Please select "other" for these options and we can hold a separate forum poll to figure out where the "others" actually hail from.

Regarding other topics:
--The final question was worded poorly, and I apologize for that. It was literally added last minute (just a mere 20 minutes prior to the poll going live in fact).
--Halfbreeds are not included in this census for two reasons: To list every combo, as Warren stated, would make both the survey itself and the final numbers look absolutely atrocious. And simply adding a "halfbreed" option would have negated part of the reason behind this particular question: to find out what race is most actively played among RPers.
--Finally, this census has two intended purposes. First is to help foster a sense of community to some degree within the RPC. This is being accomplished by the fact that people are taking genuine interest in what everyone else beyond their doormat is doing out there and the fact that people are actually excited/enthusiastic about something like this happening on the RPC. Second, this is meant to provide data to all RPers to see what's popular and what's not.

Let's keep the socio-political stances on options and how things are phrased out of all this please Big Grin . This is for fun and data collection, nothing else. Nobody is getting paid to do this, nobody is being oppressed, and so on so forth. This is all entirely optional, and should something not be up to someone's personal needs/wants, most questions can be skipped.

Thanks again to all who have contributed. We're up to 140 responses now (over my personal goal)!
