You realise, no doubt, that when we all use proxies to go and get all the different localised survey options, at some point inter-player trade becomes impossible or rather complex to maintain, right? Not to mention the chaos if one of us decides to trip the multi-alert, bringing down everyone who checked the surveys this way..

IMO surveys = bad idea, I see too many people wasting time like me and then become frustrated with the game entirely.

To be honest, I fail to really see the point of these surveys anyway.....naq is easy enough to come by, what was the actual reasoning for this update?

However, concerning the doing surveys for NAQ. A place besides the bank needs to be set up. I did some surveys last night and the naq hadn't appeared by turn change (which wasn't a big deal to me). So I went to bed and didn't have time to log on this morning as I had work. So I come home and I see that the naq has arrived, however...its about 700bil less than it should have been according to the messages in my inbox. So, I'm looking at my alpha site and notice that I'm losing about 20bil per turn because my bank isn't big enough to hold everything (understandable precaution against over-inflating a bank and then untraining miners) however as new player there is no way I could get a bank large enough to hold 1.6tril, and being in perg I couldn't go on PPT (in the future when doing surveys). So basically I guess I'm saying that there should be a receive naq in waiting option when survey naq comes in because us new players who do a survey for a naq boost...will most likely lose that naq unless we sit religiously by the comp until the naq shows...which could take who knows how long.

One reason i might not be getting my naq is that i unsubscribed from the survey company cos i had over 150 e mails in the space of a week about survey i might like to complete, on the plus side i did make $5.33 for completeing the surveys but i had to give my bank details to get it, mmmmmm.... maybe not !
