It's a lot of work to set up and evaluate such a survey. In both runs we have received lots of interesting information and many fun facts, but I wouldn't expect very much information gain from another run in a year or so.
In other words: no next survey. (At least not from me, and I think I can speak for jpeg as well.)
Awwwwww
What the fuck, I was totally excited that the results on the survey finally came out, and I am immensely enjoying reading it. Somehow it brings an unprecedented sense of closure and fulfillment. It also allows me to reflect on how bad I was at playing crawl back in the day, and how bad I am at playing crawl nowadays - I.E., I hadn't ever ascended when I filled the survey, since then I have ascended exactly once, and only recently. Which bears mentioning: The closest I got to winning before actually doing so, was getting killed on D:1 within sight of an exit while carrying the orb, by a hell sentinel (minotaur fighter)
Oh, I also got you to mention Mage Guild in the PDF
That game needs more love, and a new version is in the making, with some new graphics by yours truly.
