We haven't had a poll in a while.

[Grimm]

Should we have one?

Edit: new option added on Nov 8 at the hectoring insistence of moocowmoocow. Please submit your vote again, and blame his demographic for the inconvenience.

[Xiphias]

as an American, I can tell you that we've had more than enough polls lately.

[Grimm]

I guess you're not a poll cat.

[Jabberwocky]

I propose we make a poll on crawlers favourite noodle shape.

[Grimm]

That's an excellent idea.

[Grimm]

Wait I've got a better idea. After the poll confirms that we want a new poll, let's have a poll on what the subject of the new poll should be.

Then what are we waiting for? (Should we have a poll on that too?)

[Grimm]

This poll's only been up for a day. We need at least a week before we truly know the mind of the community.

Aren't you worried that this could polarize the community?

[Grimm]

We're galluping along just fine, thanks.

[Confidence Interval]

We're galluping along just fine, thanks.

Despite having no horns...

[Grimm]

I thought you'd vanished into the Scotch mist.

[nicolae]

We're galluping along just fine, thanks.

something something Rasmussen something

[Grimm]

We're galluping along just fine, thanks.

Those who har-Rasmussen just blindly assume everyone is fine.

Wait I've got a better idea. After the poll confirms that we want a new poll, let's have a poll on what the subject of the new poll should be.

Due to the limited amount of poll options, I propose that we have a poll about what options are to be on the poll about the subject we are going to have a poll on.

[Grimm]

Hm, good point, I hadn't considered that only ten options can be on any single poll. How do you suggest we go about structuring the pre-options poll poll?

[Confidence Interval]

Polls within polls within polls...

[Grimm]

The appearance of the polls and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a poll in the middle of a poll.

[Grimm]

We could have a poll about pollaxes.

[Jabberwocky]

We could have a pole about crawlers favourite blade on a stick.
Glaives, halberds, pikes, poleaxes, and bardiches.

[Grimm]

"Bardiche" always sounds like a type of food to me. Perhaps a modest seafood sandwich, with lemon.

[Jabberwocky]

New unrandart.
The Bardiche of Prawn.

[Davion Fuxa]

Noodle Shapes, Poleaxes - we need something more then Food and Weapons!

What about a poll regarding 'Preferred Transportation Off The Road' - Walking/Running, Biking, ATV, Off-Roading Vehicle, etc.

[TwilightPhoenix]

Hm, good point, I hadn't considered that only ten options can be on any single poll. How do you suggest we go about structuring the pre-options poll poll?

I'm not really sure, maybe it would be best if we had a poll on that so we can easily figure out the best solution.

[Grimm]

How would we structure such a poll? In other words, what are our choices in terms of solutions for designing a poll for a poll about the choices on the planned new poll?

[moocowmoocow]

I feel this poll discriminates against my demographic. Please be more sensitive in future polls.

[Grimm]

What's your demographic? Even-toed ungulates?

[cerebovssquire]

third-party candidates, this poll assumes two options and indifference

[Grimm]

I begin to understand. moocowmoocow is a respirateur:

For me there is something other than yes, no, and indifference -- it is for example the absence of investigations of this kind.

Poll edited to pander to his demographic.

[Grimm]

Well it seems editing the poll choices resets all votes to zero. Everyone will need to vote again in order to avoid a looming débâcle.

[Confidence Interval]

The appearance of the polls and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a poll in the middle of a poll.

"The universe (which others call the Poll) is composed of an indefinite, perhaps infinite number of lesser polls... Like all the men of the Library, in my younger days I traveled; I have journeyed in quest of a book, perhaps the poll of polls."

[Grimm]

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from poll to poll,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

[JeffQyzt]

I have come to believe that the whole world is a poll, a harmless poll that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
