NetHack Poll 2009
===================

The intention of this poll is to gather some information about NetHack
players, both currently active and past players for helping us variants
developers for design decisions and to get a small insight into the NetHack
community as a whole.

Even if you no longer play NetHack regularly, please take part in this poll.
Most questions make sense also for former players and one question asks
explicitly why you no longer play NetHack.

It will run through the month of November. Afterwards the results will be
released to the public.

Please spread the word about this poll to other NetHack playing people you know.
