Garrulous Glaahk JamesMighty Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 This has been a...i should probably go with interesting... discussion. I must say that the cis/trans issue bothers way too many people, and I think the only way it could bother you is if you ARE trans/cis, so i think there are many a transgender on spiderweb software, so i take this moment to exit before people unleash there Avernum/Geneforge characters on me and run back to Avadon to hide. Running...now! cya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 We do have a few transgendered or alternatively gendered people knocking about. That said, you don't have to be a member of a minority to recognize and respond to ignorance. I noticed the male/female/trans option as incorrect myself, but others had already taken care of it.

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 It may also bother you if anybody you know is transgender. If you live long enough, the chances of this happening are not that small. There is no reason to run, though. If you find the idea of transgendered people disturbing, I can advise you that the most disturbing thing about actually meeting one will probably be that it isn't disturbing at all. Discovering that does tend to shake some assumptions, but so what? Live and learn. In any case it makes no difference at all on this board. Anyone interested in Spiderweb games is welcome here, as long as they don't start trying to make other people feel unwelcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Slarty, at what point can we hope to start seeing some of the results (plus the analysis for which you are so famed)? I'm eager to see what you can glean from this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is that I am only interested in looking at the aggregate and at cross-referencing trends, not picking out individual users, which is not very interesting. I thought about printing a disclaimer explaining this, but decided that the survey doesn't really ask anything sensitive enough for people to care.

Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Triumph was not asking for answer tuples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 That reminds me that Maimonides is not around any more. I liked that guy. Always with the terse negatives. You knew where you stood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 To clarify, Slarty will almost certainly be providing the results as well as a detailed analysis. What he will not be providing are tuples, i.e., the sequence of answers for each respondent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk JamesMighty Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Oh sorry I was confused on the question. Thanks for clearing that up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cisgender is just the opposite; trans is Latin for across, and cis is Latin for on the same side. Most people are cisgender. You probably are, unless I'm misjudging. —Alorael, who is not only cisgendered, he's also levorotatorily gendered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 We have received our 50th survey response! HOORJ! More responses are still welcome -- share your opinions with the community! I will be publishing the aggregate data, some correlations, and some analysis, a bit at a time. However, this will require "cutting off" the survey results at a certain point -- I need to get them into Excel and convert some of Google Docs' more questionable formatting choices into something I can do math with and make charts with. And I don't want to repeat the process as new results trickle in. My plan was to do that Monday night, to give non-weekend folks a chance ot respond. However, I have plans then, so more likely I will close the data set, and probably publish the first set of data, on Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Cairo Jim Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I was surprised that you did not included a celebacy option in this. Just sayin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrulous Glaahk JamesMighty Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 truth: Most of us are waiting for the results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 The point of bumping it is for the people who aren't waiting: the ones who haven't seen it yet. Have a little patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Bump again: If you weren't around this weekend, check out this grand poll and submit your votes! Today, Monday, will be the last day to submit responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 The Grand Poll is now closed. Thanks to the SIXTY people who responded! I'm going to begin digesting the results now. The first in the series of posts discussing the results should be out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
