1. A method comprising:
- receiving a survey question and a plurality of possible answers to the survey question;
associating a first location-based action with a first answer of the plurality of possible answers;
associating a second location-based action with a second answer of the plurality of possible answers;
incrementing a count of votes corresponding to the first answer based on a detecting of a performance of the first location-based action by a first player of a plurality of players of a computer-implemented game;
incrementing a count of votes corresponding to the second answer based on a detecting of a performance of the second location-based action by a second player of the plurality of players of the computer-implemented game, the incrementing of the count of votes corresponding to the second answer being performed by a hardware processor; and
incrementing the count of votes corresponding to the second answer based on a detecting of a lack of the performance of the first location-based action by the first player.

Abstract
A method of voting with your feet is disclosed. A performance of a location-based action by a player of a computer-implemented game is associated with a vote on a matter. The performance of the location-based action by the player is detected. A count of votes corresponding to the vote on the matter is incremented based on the detecting of the performance of the location-based action by the player.

13. A non-transitory machine-readable medium, the non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising a set of computer instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, perform operations comprising:
-
receiving a survey question and a plurality of possible answers to the survey question; associating a first location-based action with a first answer of the plurality of possible answers; associating a second location-based action with a second answer of the plurality of possible answers; incrementing a count of votes corresponding to the first answer based on a detecting of a performance of the first location-based action by a first player of a plurality of players of a computer-implemented game; incrementing a count of votes corresponding to the second answer based on a detecting of a performance of the second location-based action by a second player of the plurality of players of the computer-implemented game, the incrementing of the count of votes corresponding to the second answer being performed by a hardware processor; and incrementing the count of votes corresponding to the second answer based on a detecting of a lack of the performance of the first location-based action by the first player. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
