[Guild Market] Sixth Community Vote

[BB_Ravel]

Dear Settlers,

Once again, the entire world wide The Settlers Online community decides which items will be included in the next Guild Market update.
A special survey will start soon, all details can be found below.

The offers in the Guild Market are changed from time to time. The world wide community of The Settlers Online will choose NINE items that will be included in the next update of the Guild Market category. It is up to the entire world wide community to decide which items will be included in the offer. Again you have the option to choose up to 8 items from the second question. More details can be found below.

Voting facts

• Start: Monday, 19th of January, ~15.15 GMT Friday, 16th of January, ~15:15 GMT
• End: Sunday, 25th of January, ~22:59 GMT
• Who? All players from all language versions can vote once on their instance.
• Where? Use the website login. After some time a pop-up will show up on our community/news site.
• How? In the survey you select ONE item from the first question and up to EIGHT items from the second question.
• What's new? Based on the community feedback during a previous vote, it's no longer required to choose
  8 items from the second question. However, at least two items have to be selected overall (one from the first question and at least one from the second question).
• Result calculation:
  The Votes of all language versions (instances) will be summed up. 1 player can vote for up to NINE items in total: 1 item from the first question and up to 8 items from the second question. The item with most votes from the first question and eight items with most votes from the second question win.
• Result announcement:
  The results of the voting will be presented approx. in the calendar week #5 (January 26th - February 1st).

There are a couple of reasons why the results are not presented instantly after the survey ends. The extended time is needed to make sure there will be neither double votes nor attempts of cheating via multi accounts. Afterwards we need to sum up the votes from all language versions and discuss with the development team when the changes will be live.

All items that are currently available in the Guild Market will be changed.

Nine of the items mentioned below will be selected by the entire world wide community through the vote.
During the vote, each player will be able to select one item from the first question and one to eight items from the second question.
A brief summary of possible choices can be found below.
