Shrink Method

[egamma]

Poll will run for 30 days, and then results will show. That way people don't change their votes simply because of popular opinion.

Also, I may have missed some (non-shot-down) options, please post here and I can add them.

"take no action"?
None of these, in their current forms, seems preferable to the status quo, imo. Some variant of them, perhaps, but I really don't like the idea of arbitrary permanent region removal.

I still prefer semi-permanent rogue spawner vortices, created by Scrolls of Summons (or new scrolls), with strengths relative to the number of scrolls used, and which can also be moved to new regions with scrolls, so that all of the variables (time it gets created, strength of the spawns, duration of the vortex) are player-determined and, thus, this rogue spawner remains a purely PvP mechanism.

It lacked the option that the main thread has just arrived at. I added it now.

[Gustav Kuriga]

That method I would be fine with.

[Revan]

I am very, very glad that it is possible to modify votes. That last method has won me over heart and soul.

[egamma]

Yeah, I figured that with an evolving discussion, it would be best to make it possible to change your vote.

Also, I've made it possible to select your favorite two votes now, just to see how that changes things.

Hey! you can put starvation (or endless drought) as another way to kill an island! 

[Tom]

So, by this totally non-representative poll, all the difficult options are out. We should do something straightforward.

Hey! you can put starvation (or endless drought) as another way to kill an island! 

I hope you're kidding, but if you aren't, the other thread is for discussing such things. I'm just listing the ones here that Tom hasn't said 'no' to.

Block character creation and emmigration

I think you mean "immigration", not "emigration".

good catch.
