They sent out another email.
Apparently, it's currently a three-city race between Hong Kong, Berlin and more Seattle.
Survey ends on the 15th, and there are still 20,000 votes missing.

I voted London, I'm not patriotic but it would be fun to see what British people are like in the future.
Received my vote email about an hour ago so they are still trickling out. I'm a gmail user but mine didn't wind up in the spam folder. Though folks should still keep an eye out to make sure it doesn't wind up there.
Also I was really conflicted over which city to pick. They did a great job at making several of the choices feel worthwhile.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
I went more Seattle, because a more focused approach on one city seemed like a safe bet for a first game.
After that, Denver appealed to me the most because I like the idea of multiple borders and lots of smuggling action.
I'm pretty okay with London or Berlin, but I think I'm a bit bleh at Hong Kong because it does feel a bit worn for the genre.
Chicago...Giant undead bugs, man.

I had a hard time deciding between the choices -- I used to play PnP and read the novels, so I had a pretty good idea of most of them and why they're interesting. In the end I went with Berlin, since the east/west split should make for an interesting setting. Still, I'm also fine with all the other choices.
I think allowing backers to vote for it is fair. Some asked for it, and if the majority would rather have more Seattle then why not?DiscoJer said:
Yeah, that's how I voted as well. Rather have one city done in more details than split it among several smaller cities. That'd be a good experience for follow up games. Wouldn't bother me terribly if that didn't pan out though.
You must not be a fan of space sci-fi movies since that has been the stereotypical space faring human for the past 30 years or so. On the other hand we have very few examples of other ethnic groups being represented in the future especially Oriental, Asian (there is a difference), Pacific Islander, Native African and Latin American groups. Chakotay is the only Native American I've ever seen represented in the future as well aside from that one TNG episode. British are one of the last groups to be excluded from futuristic games, movies and books.
From the description the Yakuza may be involve in HK. Would be fun if they allow us to choose to be with the Yakuza or Triads side in the game.

I went with Berlin. I'd like to see something European, and I feel Berlin is a bit underrepresented in games in general. I'm not familiar with Shadowrun at all, but Singapore would havd been an interesting location for me.

Went with Seattle.
Would like to see a more developed city featuring distinct districts (like VTM Bloodlines) for this than highlights of two cities. Then hopefully, another city in an expansion pack or sequel

They're not undead. They're spirit creatures that take over and warp a human host. They're more like Xenomorphs (sp?) from Aliens in that aspect.

I see a lot of these KS projects as being a more then the single game that comes directly from them, if this game sells well then expansions and sequels are a cert, what ever comes second on the list would be most likely for one of them.

Haven't voted and don't have a preference, but I'll let someone else use it. First person to quote me with their choice, I'll vote for it.

Hong Kong.

Done.
Looks like that one has a good shot at winning too. They all sound interesting so I think whichever wins should be pretty good, even just "more Seattle."

I don't think any choice would be a bad one, though i would have liked less capital cities.

It was in my spam folder. It's from surveymonkey.

They promised to let backers vote and listed it as an option. It's a fair choice for everyone since all options are fleshed out equally.
Thanks, that worked. I voted for Berlin.

Come on Berlin! *votes*
Still, this'll be awesome regardless of which city wins.

There was a less than 1% difference between Berlin and Hong Kong, so they're doing another quickfire survey.
I'm going with Berlin.

I hope Berlin wins but the alternative isn't bad. It's just that cyberpunk Asia is more conventional and Berlin will be more interesting.

With a delicious custard filling!
Europe very rarely gets used in games so it would be nice to see it represented.
And the actual Berlin is a nice place.
So true. Voted for Berlin again.

Likely comes down to their actually being a proper Shadowrun fanbase in Germany/the area in question versus...to my knowledge.....not actually being one for the greater HK region.

At this point voting seems really pointless, what ever looses will just be the city in the expansion anyway.
Shoo you killjoy. Polling! Yay!

I might be a little bitter, I wanted to see teched out future skin heads drinking pints is sleazy neon soaked London pubs.
Heh, London would've been nice too. They seem to have the lore for every one of these places so you can't rule out they won't add them in expansions or sequels.
