Really Final Pre-Release Pitch Test Poll (OK, so I lied before :)

panthercules · 01-25-08, 05:54 PM

OK - I know I said the last poll was the final one, but as some posters pointed out I forgot to mention last time (at the beginning anyway) that the wind/sea state in all the videos was exactly the same, and that these represent the maximum heavy weather conditions present in the game (15 m/s, or about 30 knot winds - sub sailing into the wind at ahead standard), and this information apparently would have influenced some folks' votes if they'd known it. Given the relative closeness of the votes in the previous poll, I was thinking it might be better to get a more informed view.

All three takes/videos below are the same as they were in the previous "final" poll, so if you remember how you voted and don't think knowing the info above would have changed your vote, then you don't have to view them again if you don't want to. I couldn't figure out how to blank out the poll results and let people vote again in the other thread, so I'm resorting to this approach to give people a chance to vote again based on "full disclosure" of the wind/sea state info as mentioned above.

Remember, please pick TWO CHOICES in the poll - first, which of the 3 did you like the boat movement best in, and second, which of the 3 did you like the way the water looked best in.
