[QUOTE="FreeTheSlaves, post: 2187760, member: 9952"] Sorry, I'll do a quick analysis of the numbers by tomorrow, promise. I'm just real busy now. I have rounded to the nearest whole number with no decimal place, fractions annoy me. **** Of 1,871 viewers 329 voted, or 18%. **** Of 329 voters, 40 voted for a single dominant alignment, that's 12%. Of these, Good and Lawful made up 29 out of 40 or almost 75% preference. They were almost identically split. Chaotic and Evil combined did not get 10%, and Neutral got the remaining 16%. **** Of 329 voters, 150 voted for specific alignments, that's 46%. True Neutral and Neutral Good both share 23% of this subtotal, Lawful Neutral follows with 16%, and Lawful Evil closely trails on 14%. Lawful Good leads the below 10% stragglers with Chaotic Evil limping in on 0% if we use the declared rounding method. **** Of 329 voters, 132 voters voted for None, that is 40%, and 7 voted Other, which is 0%. **** Conclusion: A vast majority saw the question and poll and did not give it the time of day, this raises serious concerns about the validity of the question. The largest single most vote selected was None, suggesting that no alignment has intellectual superiority. Specific alignments were thereafter chosen as the best selection, with Neutral and Neutral Good tied, then Lawful Neutral and Lawful Evil virtually tied. Finally a small minority chose possessing a singular alignment as intellectually superior, of which the Lawful and the Good as being equally important. I believe that this question as presented is not completely valid to most people. To those that see some validity within it they generally accept each alignment as being intellectually up to task. The 'opinionated' voter that accepts the questions validity but rejects all alignments intellectual robustness, generally picks a Neutral-to-Lawful selection and a Neutral-to-Good selection. Finally there are a handful of elite people out there that recognize the true intellectual superiority of Lawful Good - warms the heart. ;) Thanks all for taking part! :) [/QUOTE]
