Hello
I think it would be interesting to learn more about the players from Simutrans.
That's why I've created a survey (http://simutrans-germany.com/wiki/wiki/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=74) ( Article ).
earnings (http://www.simutrans-germany.com/wiki/wiki/tiki-survey_stats_survey.php?surveyId=2)
I have it posted in the german forum.
when show an error page, then refresh the site
for vote accept you session cookie
I was going to do the survey and tried to login with my username and p****word here but no go. I need a new login for the site? I'm a bit pressed for time now but I'll get back to it.
I didn't need any log-in to vote.
If you are getting error, like "Your are not logged" or whatever, then please refresh the page once or twice.
I refreshed three times, no go. After that I tried to login using this username. No go. Maybe I just don't know how to negotiate the page but when it comes up, it shows me the votes and presents a login box on the left. I didn't see anywhere to vote...
The login data from here not work in german wiki.
For vote activate session cookie for www.simutrans-germany.com.
Frank, I'm sorry but I don't speak German. If there is no rush my son (who can read German) will be home Christmas and I'll get him to help me create a login there.
Roads...Press on the link. Then press on button " deutsches Wiki". Next on link wiki.simutrans-germany.com. Then scroll down to the part where stands "Umfrage zu Simutrans 2008" and press on teilnehmen. The poll is german and english. It worked for me so probably for you too.
the english article (http://simutrans-germany.com/wiki/wiki/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=74) for this
OK Frank it is done. Many thanks Magic for the excellent instructions.
Good to see you finally have suceeded in doing it. That's great with these forums. Everybody tries to help each other...
On 1 January, the 2008 survey (http://www.simutrans-germany.com/wiki/wiki/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=74) closed. Those who still wish to participate should be up to 31.12. do.
its time for a new survey
survey on Simutrans 2010 (http://simutrans-germany.com/wiki/wiki/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=128)
I posted an article on the blog and made a post at the German forum.
Right now we are a male-only community ;D
We have a reported ratio on this forum of something like 125:1 male:female ratio. But hardly surprising - we don't exclude women, but it's stereotypically more of a male interest...
Oops, I better take the survey to balance the gender ratio a bit *grin*
experimental is missing at this question: "Welche Versionen benutzen sie? | Which versions do you use?"
*LIES* There's a Brazilian stereotype that says women are very bad at driving. I feel better now. We are not alone. ;D
This explains a lot why our community isn't a mess, low banning rate, stupid questions are rare, high productivity (see forum stats:
Incorporated Patches and Solved Bug Reports board is the section with the most posts). In younger communities, the General Discussion board (with spam and games) has the most activist of the forum.
And I know: we DO LOVE children. :P
Sounds like 'other' to me.
Results of the first week
earnings (http://simutrans-germany.com/wiki/wiki/tiki-survey_stats_survey.php?surveyId=3)
Users: 62
Age: 80% older than 20 and younger than 60 years
playing Simutrans:
34% 1 - 3 years
39% 5 - 10 years
time: 62% 4 - 20 hours
And the most interesting result of 3 users say they are omniscient.
My suggestion: these 3 users should maintain the help text and wikis
I miss an entry blog.simutrans.com (http://blog.simutrans.com)
I think those 3 users are already active members of the community :)
(And one is probably Hajo himself)
Maybe in another life ;D
No, that must be some other people. Most of my Simutrans knowledge is so old now that I can't even help with many questions here in the forum. I think Frank is the one besides the programmers themselves who has the most complete knowledge about Simutrans. Prissi would be the other one, and the third in the survey was making fun ;)
Maybe Simutrans has become self-aware, and is voting by itself. ;D
I never consider myself as omniscient.
What do you exactly mean with this Frank?
you mean we should publish an entry at the blog that redirects to the survey or on the contrary, we must publish a survey like that at the blog. Another posibility would be to comment the results in a blog entry...
You could publish both.
At first the survey and then the results.
But, as far as I've understood, the survey is not closed yet, right? I mean, these would be the preliminary results...
"At first the survey and then the results" says to me "You can publish the survey now, and then later publish the results". :)
Roger that, then... ;D

Ok, I see. I'll post something soon (in a few minutes... ;D)
EDIT: done. Btw, I've realized that some of the questions have been already included in recent polls at the forum like the map size one.
People are being asked to log in - I can confirm that when I try to open the survey, it asks me to log in (I previously complete it a week or so ago):

EDIT: Commenter reports it's working now.
And the session does not start/resume by called directly the page.
Better it is linked to the article.
http://simutrans-germany.com/wiki/wiki/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=128 (http://simutrans-germany.com/wiki/wiki/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=128)
over 100 participants have been achieved
Interested members who wish to display the survey in their own language is the translation file attached.
OK Frank, I've translated it to portuguese.
Translated into Spanish too. ;D
Thanks to all... (http://www.greensmilies.com/smile/smiley_emoticons_danken-mit-hand.gif)
