Sorry thats bs...Flak wars mean nothing in the final ranks! NOTHING at all!
I'm sorry IoF but I have to disagree with you here. The whole point of flak wars is to get ahead land-wise. If 30-40% of an alliance misses out of 48 hours of the beginning of the round, they are put at a severe disadvantage.
That importance of the opening 48 hours of the game can be debated til the cows come home, but it is generally accepted that as an
alliance it is a big blow if 6/7 perhaps even 8 players aren't logged in for the opening 48 hours.
Sure, if you're talking about the individual - it doesn't matter if you begin a
week late, but an alliance going FTW, or at least a top 5 position in the rankings, will have their chances hit quite badly by 30-40% of their alliance not showing for potentially 48 hours (maybe more?) of the opening weekend.
Now I'm not saying that that is going to be the case, it may well be that this poll determines the number of people involved is small compared to those who
are free, but we need to work that out.

I am happy with the Age 5 CURRENT start date of Feb 13th 23 65.71%
I want the Age 5 start date EXTENDED to Feb 20th 12 34.29%
Whats with the percentage calculations? Fairly sure this isn't the correct percentage :S (Should be 40.2% voting extend)?
