2) With regards to Astoria, last I recall, only 7 people voted "yes" (may have been as high as 9 though), and like a third voted abstain, with most everyone else voting no. Can't remember for sure, the no-abstain divide could've been a bit larger or smaller. Options were definitely Yes No and Abstain top-down.

I recall there being 8 "Yes" votes, with over 30 "No" votes (likely around 33 but I don't remember for sure), and the remainder being abstentions, somewhere around 12-18. Not sure on the last two but I am certain there were 8 yes votes.

4) Actually, the vast majority of Forestians approved an official chess agreement. There were only like 4 votes otherwise... I can't remember what the options were, but I think it was like 3 for the bottom option and 1 for the middle one, if you still have those polls saved in a tab somewhere at all. I can't remember which was "unofficial participation" and which was "no participation", but I believe those were the only three options.

We didn't just vote to officially participate, but to also join NBB as cohosts of the event. If I remember correctly the options for joining NBB's Chess Tournament were "Yes, as a cohost," "Yes, as an official participant," and "No, let people join if they want." There was only one vote for the official participant option, with three no votes for unofficial participation.

If you have specific option text and vote counts for any of these missing polls lying around, please let me know and I'll get it added.

I don't have exact numbers for anything, but I do remember a few details about some of the votes we have done that might help you piece things together.

For Sonindia, I recall it being a resounding Yes to close that embassy, with only 3-4 votes against.

For ZDay, I strictly remember that we had decided to chose to close our borders that time around. No memory of what the exact numbers were, but a strong majority wanted to pursue a cure with closed borders, with the second highest option being a cure with open borders though that I believe had a single digit vote count. I believe there were options for embracing the horde and killing the zombies with their closed and open border counterparts as well as an "Other" option for any other ideas people had.

Magna Aurea's embassy was a strong no, with I think only around 10 at most voting for, though I'm just guessing on that one. I remember it being somewhere in the range of 1/3-1/2 in favor though, and closer to 1/3. For more of a personal note here, I remember keeping a close eye on that one because I was really uncertain for a while whether I would vote for or against it, but I remember voting against since the person who came to our region initiating the discussion never came back to answer any questions, and I had reached out to Overnium by telegram with my questions and despite saying they would answer things they never got back to me. In any case, quite interesting in retrospect how things turned out over there :p

I don't remember any exact numbers on the Alcris/NWI vote but I know there were more votes against opening the embassy with Alcris than there were for keeping our embassy with NWI.

I don't have anything else on polls, but I just want to say thank you for putting in the leg work of regional bookkeeping to save what we can of our poll history. It'll be sad if NS staff aren't able to get that data recovered from a historical perspective but at least we'll still have some record of the votes we had and I greatly appreciate you working to do that :]
