Honourable Mention
Anumia gained 8 of the 51 write-in selections.

Notes
-- I mistakenly listed the player known as "Anime Daisuki" twice. This was due to Goddess Relief Office being automatically included under the "top 25 founders" group and AD being listed under the "10 defenders" group. My apologies, I missed that error. To compensate, 1/3 of the votes from GRO were attributed to AD (GRO had 12 votes, so AD gained 4 votes.)
-- There were a couple names left off the original 100 that came up frequently in the write-in box. Anumia was the biggest one with 8 votes. For the next survey, any nation that earned 2 votes or more will be included on the original 100: Anumia, 1 Infinite Loops, Omigodtheykilledkenny, and Queen Rose.
-- 4 players who were actually were on the original 100 were given votes in the write-in box: Drop Your Pants, The Bruce, Falconias and Assorro. All of these only occurred once and were added to the player's total.
-- No, I did not fabricate my own results, lol. If anyone questions any of the rankings (their own, or someone else's), contact me and I can supply you with evidence.
-- 2 players did not get a single vote, which I have omitted from this list. One of them I was extremely surprised that he did not get a single vote... oh well.

Honourable Mention
Audux gained 3 of the 31 write-in selections.

Notes
-- The most important note I have to make is that 4 people entered "The Commonwealth" in the write-in box, and one person simply used the write-in box to tell me to include alliances. Alliances are NOT regions, and including them can be very messy and awkward to use. The Commonwealth is an membership-based alliance of regions, disqualifying them from region contention. However, Alteran Empire, LWU and TKoI were all included in the list, which are members of the Commonwealth, and Audux gained the most write-in votes.
-- Speaking of write-in votes, I will use the same criteria; any region with 2 or more votes will be included in the next list. Thus, Audux, Ulthar and LKE will qualify for the next survey.
-- One region did not garner a single vote and has been omitted from this list... but open further review I realized that it was a registered school class :P just a really, really large one....



FEEDERS

Region -- Votes (Top selection from 104 voters)
The East Pacific --28
Lazarus --19
The North Pacific --18
The West Pacific --16
The Rejected Realms --9
The South Pacific --8
The Pacific --6

Notes
-- Nothing really to note, other than one guy voted "The East Pacific" in the write-in box under Regions, whose vote I have not included in TEP's total here.


Thank you again to all those who participated, and I enjoyed doing this! :D

Cheers

Meh, its understandably skewed towards FRA and associated defenders and The Black Hawks and their raider allies.

That's just a matter of those communities voting more, and I got to say that when they did vote for the most influential nations in the "larger NS world" outside the Raider-Defender wars, they are really out of date.

For example, both Gates and Moo are inactive to varying degrees and have largely handed off power to their lieutenants, but you'd really have to be a good feederite to know that I guess.

As for the regions, I attribute the fact that DEN Army outranks DEN Central Command to defender confusion over the ongoing power struggle between the two. (If anything, DEN Central Command is the closest thing to a direct successor to DEN) And of course, you have plenty of proud citizens voting for their own region, whether it matters or not. :P

This is not a criticism, but an analysis. It was a fun bout of navel gazing for all.
 
It would have been nice to have a box identifying who was taking this survey by region... and the year they started playing the game.

Without that demographic information, you can't draw many conclusions from the results. Maybe next time?

Interesting, anyway. :)

LOL Todd McClound and TEP. :rofl:

That's a funny :P :ADN:

Whats so funny about that, I personally think the work Todd has put into TEP deserves the recognition he is now getting. His work in The Rejected Realms was quite inspiring also.

He's a tart :P. A sour one at that <_<.

Though according to the votes I have more influence than Dalimbar :P :ADN:

You're just mad TEP has still banned you. :lol:
 
Rightfully so, I'll admit. Next time they ask for help in defending their region from invaders they can go to hell for their backstabbing for all I care :angry:
 
Blue Wolf II:
Too bad defenders suck at defending feeders anyway.

The whole thing is rigged, Falconias is 3rd so that should be proof enough.
Click to expand...
Its not a matter of rigging, its a matter of Falconias posting it in every defender region other than TITO because it was down or something, or that's what I heard.

Since there's a crapload of FRA regions with Lexus and Falconias in them, so obviouly they will be the most voted.
 
In practice, I find that this poll makes sense when considered a measure of publicity, not influence. Quientessence of Dust is the most influential Wysterian, but we've all heard more about the Bruce. Todd may not historically be the moving'est and shaking'est of feeder delegates, but he's certainly got the most recent publicity. And the fact that a lot of his publicity isn't good hasn't prevented Gov from being well-known. It poorly reflects influence (how would you measure that, anyway?) but shows rather nicely who Gameplay people will have heard the most about.
