Changeover Poll

[DaveMage]

There are different kind of polls? What are the difference?

On a public poll you can see who voted and count the respondents by name rather than have "guests" vote that could skew the numbers behind the scenes.

Of course that doesn't stop Alt Boy! the classic ban-averting troll from showing up.

Or Sock puppets. And it comes with a pressure to go along with groupthink.

Public polls allow you to see who voted for whatever option.

The nerdrage is strong in this one.

Really. If this poll showed that everyone on EN World had switched to 4E you wouldn't be complaining about it.

I know I would, and I'm a 4e fan. I feel it a solemn duty of my life's work to pop into all polls on EN World, regardless of results or question, and state how ludicrous they are.*

(Of course, I still vote in them. Chalk it up with Oprah, Skittles, and N'Sync in my list o' guilty pleasures.)

* This is normally followed shortly thereafter with someone (usually Psion) mentioning that I wouldn't pop in if the poll results favored my own vote.**

** This is usually followed by me being an ass in my response.***

*** This is usually followed by someone (most often Rel) suspending my account for some time.****

**** And, finally, this is usually followed by me watching Oprah on mute, stuffing myself with Skittles, and listening to some of the low-down, funky, melancholic rifts of N'Sync.

Nuh-uh.

Why are you defending it so vigorously? Are you invested in the result yourself?

Yeah, I see what you're doing there and it was well done, really - but you're the one who started this. Again, good try at deflecting, though.

With around 425 votes in, the results:

Changeover: 31%
No Changover: 57%
Partial Changeover: 12%

Another comment (laughs lightly)

When I had the first Changeover Poll, the Edition Wars uproar came into it.
No Edition Wars this time. Everyone has been extremely courteous, extraordinarily polite and congenial, especially compared to the first poll (So much so, that it is like Mr. Roger's Neighborhood in comparison. I like this! )

But there is something new, and I shall give it a name ... Poll Wars! : )

But it is not something I think anyone in the Galaxy should be concerned about, any more than they should be concerned about the results of this poll.

EDIT: Eastern Asia and Australia are comimg in for their second round at this poll, and they seem pro-Changeover, so those rooting for Changeover, watch your numbers rise.

A public poll displays the screen names for all voters and which choice they voted for.

EDIT: I suppose I should check the rest of the thread before answering questions.

Nah, just goes to show how helpful we are here
