I don't mind what is going to be used.Abstain
 
i voted no, as a mod would only complicate things. People would have to download the mod in order to view the save.
 
No, not only does it complicate things, someone unfamilar with the mod might be in for a few surprises when they play.
 
The decision is made by seeing which choice has the most votes, right?
 
The option with most votes in about 3 quarters from now wins. (Abstain can't win, abstain votes aren't counted when an option needs a certain percentage either.)

Abstain votes have to be counted if we're going to make majority decisions. No option rec's a majority of the votes so how can we say a decision has been made?
 
So what is the final decision?
 
The option with most votes in this poll was NO HoF mod.
Therefor we will play this game without the HoF mod.

One thing though, superslug voted in this poll although he's not a member of the user group. Can he vote because he's a mod?

My dad had a saying that I think is very appropriate here: Who died and made you Boss?

No option got a majority of the vote, so this is still undecided. There is no rush, the game isn't set to start tomorrow. This is a decision that must be finalized soon. I suggest another poll, straight up yes or no without an abstain option. That way we get a majority decision unless the poll ends in a tie.
 
16 people voted Yes
20 people voted No

There are more people who don't want it than people who do want it, therefor it won't be there.
It's simple as that.
Abstain votes aren't counted here, like in most polls. It would have been better if I had announced that better, but you, or anyone else, didn't seem to miss it. It's pretty common in other polls like this to not count abstain in calculations. After all, that's the whole point of abstaining! Showing that you are here to vote, but that you don't mind which option wins.
 
I'm not sure how it came about or what it's intended function was. I do see a function for it now. If we are to make decisions where the majority rules then abstain becomes a good tool to diffuse bad (unfair) polls. If we have a two option question then we'll have a majority decision unless there's a tie. Trouble is, what if the quesiton is do we attack the French in 5 turns or 10 turns when in reality the majority don't want to attack at all? By not voting we risk having a majority decision to attack. By requiring an abstain option, those who don't want to attack at all (or who want to attack at a different time) can vote abstain. Now if we include abstain votes in deciding a majority (not plurality) then we have a nice easy means of dealing with the sort of poll described.

The only reason you seem to have to count abstain votes is that it will be a safe-guard against bad polls or more precisely polls with bad options. That is clearly not the case here, the only two possible options are Yes and No.
 
If you do count the abstain votes in this poll, please subtract mine, as I'm not a participant here. I only clicked abstain because I'm lazy and didn't want to click on the view results link everytime I stop by, it's just that I like to keep tabs on how popular (or not) the HOF mod gets since it's grown larger than just the HOF community (also now GOTM).

My apologies for any disruption this vote caused.

For what it's worth, if there are any questions about the HOF mod, I'll happily answer them.
