After the big success of the Crawl poll in August (the results can be
downloaded at http://crawl.akrasiac.org/poll_results.txt) and in loose
cooperation with the Crawl developers responsible for that poll, we
present you the "NetHack Poll 2009".

The intention of this poll is to gather some information about NetHack
players, both currently active and past players.

This poll 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.
