Re: Great Big Blood Bowl Survey
To be fair the survey could have run past the WC so as to include anyone there that may have missed the many annoucements. But I suspect they* have a reason.Darkson wrote:What, an announcement like "Last month we ran a survey"?

They thought it better to have the results available at the World Cup.

Re: Great Big Blood Bowl Survey
Preliminary and obvious conclusions just by glancing through:
- Blood Bowl is even more of a sausage party than I thought.
- English is by far the language of Blood Bowl, or maybe this is skewed by advertising in an english-language forum.

Re: Great Big Blood Bowl Survey
Preliminary evaluation:
538 mentions of FUMBBL (and 4 for FUMMBL and 2 for FUMBLE).
Not bad for a survey that did its best to pretend it didn't exist.

Re: Great Big Blood Bowl Survey
I took the liberty of correcting all the fummbls, fumbls, funbbls and fumbls prior to release, which will have helped your count a little
This is not a survey with a small reach. Yes, 2800 is not the full community, obviously, but we did all we could to circulate and promote it and to be honest it's not an unreasonable response - certainly it demonstrates a reasonable about of engagement with what we're doing, even if a small proportion of the responses appear to think we and cyanide are one and the same (presumably not helped by one of the BB2 league naming decision coming to light halfway though the survey and immediately prior to cyanide reposting on Fb). We published it on every forum we could find, put it out on Twitter and Facebook, had cyanide repost in both formats, included it in the newsletter and the front of the NAF, put an announcement on fumbbl, and pre-notified all the podcasts that it was coming up with request they plug it.
Please don't underestimate the effort that went in to compiling, publicising and (now) analysing the survey. It's easily the biggest engagement with blood bowl coaches I've ever encountered and as Mike says, it's the beginning of the journey, not the end. Lessons learned will absolutely be absorbed into the report as action points, so if you have constructive feedback that we can use going forward, please throw that at us too!
