Simple enough; this one's more informational to me. Are you satisfied with these polls?

The last poll didn't yield much relevant discussion, so there will be no quotes. However it is noteworthy that this has been our First Tie; 10-10-9-4. "Ghosts? I'm Scared!" tied with "Drop Pods are Better" with "Nukes are Better" trailing in 3rd by a single vote.

New poll. -_-

No spoof options = better discussion and results.

Somewhat.

These things usually get off track from the initial discussion and detracts from the debate. Spammy, even.

I find that the polls are useful for clarifying the positions of the forum on "hot topics". When they end up as debates, it doesn't serve any useful purpose, since we have all sorts of threads and member-started polls for that. So no, not really satisfied with how they actually work, but I think it's kind of cool to have going.

If he'd simply remove the spoof options and make a new one promptly instead of allowing the old one to be spammed, there's no problem.

Theyre nice. Off topics are fun too. Spoof options mean at least we know hoew many people dont care/dont like the options.

spoof options are always there. Everyone votes it for fun. That's how U.S.A has G.W Bush.

Somewhat.

I just vote and don't discuss. I feel like the discussion is already going on/ has already happened in different threads, anything worth debating has been debated, and there is really no reason to argue about stuff. It is just theorycraft most of the time, which probably won't hold up. I think it is pointless to discuss most of this stuff so far from the game's release. How do we know if drop pods or nuked will be used more in SC2 if we aren't even sure any of it will make it to the final product? There is a lot of balancing to do still. A LOT of balancing. Chances are, everything being debated will change, some things will be nerfed, some will be stronger, and nothing will come out the same as it is now.

Hahaha, not funny.

I hate sc.org polls. They're up for weeks and nobody talks about the poll after the 3rd day.

I thought it was priceless, these polls aren't bad but the poll never works because of the spoof like pointed above but the debate is quite interesting.

I didn't add to the discussion of your last poll because it seems like you were just fishing for anything you could make a poll about. I've never even seen the drop pod thing as a big discussion.

This poll just seems pointless, to be honest. You could've asked what people think of these polls in your last poll.

roflmao.

This poll apparently means proto has run out of ideas. lol. :)

Anyways, I really like these polls. They don't run too long and they have better questions than a lot of polls you might see, but strangely, they all end up in physics debates *.*

If you do remove the spoof options, you might get better results. Though I must admit that I voted for the spoof option in the last poll, but that's because my answer didn't exactly fit the rest of the options.

Most of us know that there is still alot of balancing left to do. And yes some things will be removed some things will be added. But what keeps this Sc2 section alive is us discussing these matters even if they are "theorycraft". Most of this stuff is just early info on the game, but if you dont think we should discuss this and see it as "pointless", then plz let us know what else we can do instead of discuss the matters of sc2, in the sc2 section.


btw if youve run out of questions to ask then turn to the community, we're always ready to lend a helping hand

A poll cannot end until there is a physics debate involved. And...Go.
