ANNOUNCEMENT: Census OPEN now & through 5 Nov

[Deleted]

TO: All citizens of the Kingdom of Talossa

Below is a link to the Official Kingdom of Talossa 2009 Census. We ask that each and every citizen take a few minutes to complete the Census survey, in order to give us a better picture of the demographics of our great nation. YOUR PRIVACY is absolutely assured, and no personal information is requested -- or should be given -- in the survey. Because of this protection, we must ask that you submit the survey ONCE AND ONLY ONCE. Because no identifying information is collected, we will have no way to delete or correct any information once it has been submitted.

If you should have any questions about the survey, please feel free to contact either your Secretary of State Mick Preston at [e-mail] or your National Archivist Danihel Forestal at [e-mail].

The Census survey will remain open until Thursday, November 5th, so please be sure you complete your survey in the next month.

ON ANOTHER NOTE: I'm sure there is much room for improvement to this process. Please feel free to offer suggestions for improving the NEXT census here, but know that the 2009 Census is what it is, and no further changes will be made to it.

Just took the census! Excellent operation, S:r Forestal!

[Sir Alexandreu Davinescu]

The employment options are curious. Education wasn't on there at all, for example. Maybe take another look at those for next yet.

[Tric'hard Carschaleir]

Very good work S:reu Forestal. Every civilized nation should have a census like that.

[Flip Molinar]

Submitted my responses.

[Dréu Gavárþic'h]

I would suggest that all high school students put down "decline to answer" for the Education section.

Dammit Dreu, knock it off. I realize there are imperfections, but they are not due to some evil scheme on my part. I used questions and answers that I found widely-used in other census surveys. By trying to deliberately sabotage this process, you are making it harder for useful information to be extracted from this process. All reports involving education will be attached to the questions, and it will be A GIVEN that those currently in high school are a part of the "less than high school graduate" answer. That category isn't some slight against the young, it's merely an answer to a question.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr........

And while I'm in a grouchy mood, PLEASE STOP POSTING THAT YOU'VE TAKEN THE SURVEY. I do not NEED to know this, and I don't WANT to know this -- anonymity means that there will be a certain amount of slop in this process.

[Breneir Itravilatx]

Aye aye, sir.

Oh. Well, I never said that. I don't take it as a slight against the young--I simply still disagree with you on this issue. Is that okay?

Yes of course it's okay to disagree, but let's just allow the process to carry out, and we can debate the correct interpretation of the data after it's in.

I was GRUMPY yesterday. Today is much better. Beer was involved.

[Ieremiac'h Ventrutx]

Wait ... Beer makes you GRUMPY?

[Deleted]

No, beer removed the grumpiness!

BUMP -- 3 days left to fill out your Census form, if you have not already.
