    Definitely going to leave it as free text fields so I don't have to come up with a list of possible answers. :D Then anyone can enter their answers like "English and French" for example.

    Anywhere is fine to discuss the surveys! It probably helps the most to keep the discussion in whatever the current running survey is so the topic keeps getting bumped and more people see it. :P...

    You bring up a good point with the proficiency though. Maybe a good way to structure the survey would be something like this:

    1. What is your native language?
    2. What other languages are you fluent in? (Optional)
    3. What other languages are you familiar with but not fluent in? (Optional)

    I feel this would allow us to have enough detail in the responses to give a useful result without making it overly complicated, what do you think?

    The three unknowns were:

    • "Svenborgia" (fictional country I think)
    • "Mars: the country and planet of the superior species"
    • And this one: "I remember the outside locale more as a self-sustaining automated sequence than an actual place, a field of I/O, dense data highways that lined the sky in geometric patterns, running through a vasculature of black cables far beyond the horizon."

    That's odd, is the main survey page not loading or is it that after you've submitted a response the page isn't loading? Does this one work? https://survey.tildes.community/form/submit-your-question

    Stealing an idea from kfwyre. ;) If you'd like to be notified when future surveys open and close with the results, let me know here or via a private message and I'll @-mention you. :)

    A quick update to be transparent about the privacy of the surveys, I've started saving the User-Agent string alongside IP addresses. Like with IP addresses the User-Agent data won't be shared publicly and will be deleted after the survey has been closed. With these two bits of information I feel confident I can maintain the quality of the responses and there won't be more of these behind the scenes changes any time soon.

    Also, quick reminder to submit your response in case you haven't done so! There are 48 hours left before the survey closes. :D

    Some quick stats:

    • There have been 236 responses so far! Thank you all!
    • By nobody's surprise the US is well in the lead with 36.4% of responses, with Canada and the UK in tied second at 8.5%.

    Love this, definitely has their unique TDH sound. The general vibe reminds me a lot of The Indigo Child. I hope they get to do more stuff on Musora, Drumeo, etc. that would be awesome!

    I did put in some server-side validation that the number had to be between 0 and 200, so you could have potentially gotten away with higher. ;)

    Thank you to all the 324 people that responded! It was honestly a bigger number than I was expecting so I'm really happy with how it turned out. :D Here are some stats that I can put in Markdown:

    • 34 years old is the median age
    • We have lived a combined 11615 years
    • And the generational breakdown with:
      • Millennials at 59.0%
      • Gen Z at 26.9%
      • Gen X at 12.3%
      • Baby Boomer at 1.5%
      • Greatest Generation at 0.3% not sure if this one is legit ;)

    That's a good observation. I think maybe to get the best of both worlds (no edits to timestamp and no correlation between comments and responses) would be to provide the responses and timestamps separately in the download.
