This poll concerns our polling rules
Originally there were no rules... Anyone could post a poll at any time about anything. After a particularly bitter polling episode we refer to as "Potterygate," it was decided that we would avoid polling altogether, unless absolutely necessary.
Eventually it was suggested that one team member be responsible for deciding when we should conduct polls... The Internal Affairs Minister. I have recently taken over that position for the team.
As of now, we don't have many polling rules and the Internal Affairs Miniter (me) is responsible for trying to decide when it would be beneficial to conduct a poll. I think that periodic polling on different issues makes the game more interesting and more fun, especially for new or casual members.
I will leave this poll open for a long time so that as many team members as possible have an opportunity to vote... However, the one lesson learned from "Potterygate" was this...
ONCE YOU HAVE CAST YOUR VOTE, DO NOT POST ON THE POLL THREAD TO SAY YOU ARE CHANGING VOTES. VOTE CHANGING IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. ALL VOTES ARE FINAL.
Also, please try to limit your posts on this poll to ONE POST. Additional comments arguments, etc., should go in the general "Polls" thread.
We will have a runoff poll between the top 2 choices, unless there is an obvious overwhelming majority for one of the choices. Overwhelming majority means, that if everyone who did not vote for the winning choice were to vote for the runner up choice, the runner up would still lose.
Happy Polling!!!
