3E & 4E Love and Hate Polls - What does it mean?

[N0Man]

What's the correlation between love and hate of 3E and 4E and choice of beverage? Is another poll in order? ;-)

... what? Oh, sorry. That was a reflexive action. I always post that when someone is speaking about soda.

Interesting.

Union County, NC, where I grew up, is only 30-50% Coke, while Mecklenburg County, which is more urban and has more transplants from outside the south, is 50-80% Coke.

I would've guessed it would go the other way.

And yeah, where I'm from Dr Pepper, Mountain Dew, Sundrop and Cheerwine are all "Coke". IMO, the best Coke is NuGrape.

I love that map! (Used to use it has a desktop. Briefly. It makes a horrible desktop.)

I'm always most intrigued by the little bright green spots in the heart of regions that strongly favor one term or another.

Could th4e mods please lock this thre4ad? It is way way off topic and has been for pages.

*Shrug* It is accomplishing more off topic than it was with everybody, myself included, repeating themselves ad nauseam.

*Shudder* Mountain Dew.... One of the few sodas to contain brominated vegetable shortening....

*EDIT* Re: the map - I have encountered a few places in Northern Maine and in Appalachia that use the word 'beer' for soda. I suspect that this is a result of linguistic isolation, as the term survives in the vernacular as Root Beer, Birch Beer, Ginger Beer (and Ginger Ale for that matter).... Now I want to brew some ginger beer, hopefully this time it won't explode.

They used to be called minerals in Kerry, Ireland but that usage seems to be dieing out under the relentless assault of US TV shows

Hmmm, 'pop' seems a lot more common than I thought, but then, I live in 'soda' country.

And I have temporarily chickened out of homebrewing some ginger beer (they didn't have any ginger root at the supermarket... and it was too chilly to go to a specialty store.)

You would probably get a better response if you reported it as being off topic... (Yes, I'm a mod, the one you've probably never seen before, but not for this section of ENworld.)

Soft drink discussion aside (I'm either a coke or a pop person. My mom was from the south so I inherited the 'coke' from her... I've sort of grown out of it.) I'm glad I found this thread to be rather interesting...

I'm trying to make a 4th edition character for the first time in about a year and my preconceived notions of what I should be able to do is making the 4th edition rules unbearable. I would really like to try the system but I just cannot get past how constrained everything feels. (Been playing since AD&D and have enjoyed the freedom enjoyed in each version till it went, sadly, missing in 4th edition.)

Aww, that's too bad. I was kinda hoping you'd share your experiences on this... or at least let us know how you roll on the "Mishaps" table
