My sense of symmetry is bothered by there being one positive choice and three neutral to negative ones -- but you'll be the one doing the arithmetic in the end. Is the scale of one to four too dry and abstract?
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Too abstract, I think

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Heh. Well, to balance it out we could have
Can't/won't attend and it's breaking my heart
Can't/won't attend and I could care less
Can't/won't attend and I'll be dancing at my escape from you bastiges
but I'm not sure what we'd accomplish. Happy families, yadda yadda.

Just as long as people don't get lost in a morass of semantics, I guess.

With the last one being our first line of decision.
Whichever city gets the most "Can't/won't attend in this city" answers, if any, loses?
Should it be two parts then? One question asks "Which One City," while the second part asks "How Do You Feel About It?"

ita says what I'm trying to say, but she uses fewer words.
There should be part of the poll that's just a yes/no, Seattle/SF question.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Being in the head of the person who generated the language, I don't understand what's confusing about the options. I'm more than happy to change it, but I don't know how to make it clearer without reducing the usefulness significantly.
There should be part of the poll that's just a yes/no, Seattle/SF question.
With the current language, why?

I think the question seems to me to be asking two different things that should be separated into their own questions - 'yes/no' and 'how do you feel about it.'
Maybe they don't need to be separate. I don't know.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
So, 3 questions, then. Seattle: Can/Can't, SF: Can/Can't, Favourite: Seattle/SF/either?

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
how about something like this
SF
Want to attend
Can attend, but prefer Seattle
Can't attend.
Seattle
Want to attend
Can attend, but prefer SF
Can't attend.
The first thing we look at is which city is most popular (want to attend) .
Then, we look at who can't attend, and hope that the majority of those who can't attend is the opposite of the city that everyone wants to attend.
If the number of people who cannot attend is greater than the number of people who can attend the "want to attend" city, then we review the "prefer" question, to see if we add those to the number of people who can attend, we can find a majority.
Does that make sense? I mean, it makes sense to me, but my mind can be a dark and twisty place.
