Hey All!
When you create a poll with multiple options (whether it be 2 or 20) the option which receives the highest amount of votes wins the poll. I just wanted to point that out in case it wasn't clear.
That is all.
Polling and Polls in General
And with all polls, they aren't 100% accurate. You have people who don't bother to vote because they don't think they'll matter, people who don't see the vote because they don't visit the voting booth, or people who just don't like voting.
As for the poll you're hinting at, if I wanted to, I could have gotten a handful of the WoW players from this MUD to login to vote in my direction. Why? Guess why they're playing WoW.
Cyric may have won the poll by a small margin, but then again, the poll was gone before I even thought of IMing people to come back just to vote. Also, if the gods are aiming for a 58% satisfactory rating of active players without considering all the people who have left over the years, more power to them.

Are you happy with all the area changes implemented?
Yes
56% [ 25 ]
No
43% [ 19 ]
Total Votes : 44
Key word: ALL. No, I'm not happy with ALL of the area changes.
If you want a clearer picture, rephrase to "Are you generally happy with the area changes implemented?", or go with a 5 way strong yes to strong no as is often used in public polls.
Black and white gets muddled with all of the grey thats bound to exist with a very strict question like the original poll.
(Yes, I'm aware of the irony with my stupid knee-jerk poll - the lack of a dissenting option was supposed to be humorous point about the validity/interpretation of Dalar's.)
While we are all in the voting mood, make sure to go to this thread and vote mightily!
