I'm not against 2d teams, you know it.
Like kozlik4 said, neraly 1300 voters were against it.
You're right more (nearly 1500) were in favor. But you can't ignore that they were in favor of something described as totally different than now proposed.
Just to say that this poll, in a way or the other, is now meaningless. We absolutely have no idea if the community is in favor or not of Utopia as a 99th country.
And some of the people against it specifically said they were in favor of utopia.
More importantly, the game is not run by a referendum. BB sought user opinions, got a pretty decent response, and made their decision. Not the one I would have made, necessarily, but as long as they didn't charge for one thing and then deliver another, it's fair - if you like it, buy it; if you don't, don't. Problem solved.
