[QUOTE="ThirdWizard, post: 2858797, member: 12037"] For the poll results to be looked at in any kind of context it is. As of this post, the poll results are 13 yes and 9 no. As it stands, we can't make any inferrances from this. Now, of course, holding up any poll result on ENWorld (or anywhere else with self-selecting polls) doesn't have any true representative information on the trends across the roleplaying community, but there is even less accuracy with this poll. Since people can define cinematic combat differently than each other, one person's yes is another person's no. One person's no is another person's yes. It means the poll results aren't representative of anything. If person A defines cinematic combat as opposed to tactical combat and hates the tactical aspects of D&D, then he'll vote yes. If person B defines cinematic combat as roleplaying during combat and loves tactical combat, he might vote yes as well. So, it isn't required for two people to share the same definition of cinematic combat, but it is required for a common understanding of what is being [i]asked[/i] in a poll for the poll to make sense. EDIT: I point this out only because I know there will be more polls down the line and for their benefit. [/QUOTE]
