I think it is about time I revealed the results of my older polls. I would be interested in hearing people's thoughts on them

[with a certain tone of irony and amusement] Right, that means I've got a few short months to stick around here and prove my unworthiness so I'll be sent back.

[dubia_lux]

If only it were that easy. We ourselves seem to have no say in the City's decisions.

[slightly_knurd]

If only.

Shame, that. Was going to go file a leave of absence.

[dubia_lux]

If it were strictly a matter of incompetence our population would be minuscule.

[modern_truths]

That would explain why I returned briefly to my world.

[dubia_lux]

Those who have gone home were requested to add together their months total.

[modern_truths]

Three months spent here, soon to be four. It feels longer.

[dubia_lux]

Is that including your months spent in the City before returning home?

[likesuperman]

Hmm, so the two to three month mark was the most common length then among those you surveyed? I am curious what the follow up would look like now.

[dubia_lux]

Mmm...Another poll on this subject is something that I should consider.

[likesuperman]

I have to say that I am curious if those who were here for two to three months are still in the City.

Maybe you'll get a better turn out if you follow up on that poll. If this was taken in August then I am sure the population has shifted. Hell I wasn't even here in August.

[dubia_lux]

It is not impossible to keep current information on the City populace but it is time consuming.

The population shifts every other week. Changes over a month alone can be...phenomenal.

[ohrosalita]

25.5% of people have been here eight months or longer. One in four.

So there's a three in four chance of getting home sooner. Those should feel like better odds, to me.

[dubia_lux]

That is so. According to the poll most people do return home sooner than later.

But if the Ark theory is true then that is a problem. My current hypothesis is that it is not true. But it is not an impossibility.

[ohrosalita]

Ark theory? That sounds a little biblical.

[dubia_lux]

Yes. That is the theory that all of the worlds are facing a tragic end and that the City exists to shelter us as our homeworlds meet destruction. The deities have been known to suggest this may be the case.

According to the theory, the clock is counting down to the end of the external megaverse. However, I am told that the clock has been rewound before which means that the time of this "End" is not set in stone.

[evilsincebirth]

It's... pointless.

[dubia_lux]

Nothing is pointless to those who know how to look.

Apologies, Dietrich has been very unstable after Halloween curse got him -_-

[evilsincebirth]

How do you look at this?

What use you could give this survey in their lives? Bring hope or despair to them? This shouldn't make a difference if they want to leave or remain!

Dietrich.

He probably doesn't mean any harm, hm? You'll risk exposing your weakness to him like this.
