Questions about revenge

This poll follows up on the PB16 post-game discussions. I find the topic interesting, and I'd really like to see how much people's opinions vary. Feel free to ignore it if you don't care about it, and there's no need to rehash all the arguments as it was covered quite well there (unless you feel so inclined). The poll is public, and obviously you can pick multiple options (one for each poll question). Brief explanation of the questions and options:

REVENGE
Means how often you'll resort to revenge when messed with, including how much it takes to make you react this way. The percentages in parenthesis are obviously made up numbers, only included for illustrative purposes.

SACRIFICE
Refers to how much of a personal loss you're willing to bear in order to get even, in terms of chances of winning the game. This question assumes that you still have a chance of winning, even if slight. Note that anything which you believe helps you win the game in the long run is not considered a sacrifice, even if it comes at a cost to you.

STYLE WHEN LOSING
This is about how you act when you decide that you no longer have a chance of winning. It assumes that at least one player has messed with you during the game, of course, whether or not that is the reason you're out of the running. It also assumes that you have enough strength to play for #2, and let's say it's for a 5-6 player game.

ANONYMITY
In a hypothetical anonymous game where noone will ever know your identity, will you be LESS inclined to seek revenge than usual? In other words, do you see revenge as a matter of establishing reputation for future games?

TIME
How long did it take you to fill out this poll?

Well, that does look ugly. Cookies for anyone who completes it.

I'm pretty sure we've had this conversation several times already as a community, but I completed the survey anyway so that it's officially on record that I'll fuck up anyone who attacks me, ever. Now perhaps people will treat me like a deranged timebomb who is one war dec away from blowing up their game, allowing me to skimp on military & coast by on a wave of reputation nod

This is one of those situations where RB desperately needs a "rec" button.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

Here I thought I was being clever for checking the [X] TIME* option. Only nr 2.
