Pollocracy three: A learning exercise
Welcome Dinkers, it has been 8 weeks and six days since the last installment of 'pollocracy'. So, with 8 polls behind us it is time to look at the various comments made about the polls once again.
See the comments for the entire article.
So, what have we learned from the polls in the past 8 weeks and six days?
1) The two most common genders on the dinknetwork are 'male' and 'other'. (Poll 123)
2) When asked about an opinion about Tal most people simply respond with 'Tal'. (Poll 124)
3) Though the same peope are highly disturbed if you try to use him for your salad. (Poll 126)
4) Articles are a relatively unknown feature (Poll 125), which might explain the limited popularity of pollocracy (Poll 130)
5) In fact, 'Pollocracy' should probably be renamed to 'Dead Dragon Carcass Theocracy' but I'm too stubborn for that. (Poll 130)
6) Poll comments can not be more than 256 characters, if you need more you fail. (General comment)
7) We need more articles! (Poll 125)
So, with those lessons in mind we can now look at what people had to say exactly about the polls, all [text between square brackets] is mine.
Poll 123: Gender?
3) Hrm...although I THINK I know what gender I am, I'm going to put in under Other/unknown anyway. Also, based on my calculations, all comments with the words 'banana' and 'Tal' are usually put in the pollocracy. So....banana. Tal. [You're right, it worked.]
2) Hermaphrodite anyone>
1) i am michael jackson.
Poll 124: Should 'Tal' be a voting option in the poll?
3) Of course he should... who else would I stick up on my bedroom walls?
2) Always. Just adopt the questions so that persons can be an answer. Well, that persons can be an answer in theory...
1) what is tal anywayz? is it like some hip new word for a female's babymaking parts?
Poll 125: Should there be more articles?
3) how about a new article called: banana weekly? or how to make a crappy dmod, by the guy who made abc...?
2) Give the staff a break? They already have way too much things to do that they don't do!!
1) I urge the staff to do overtime for the DN.
Poll 126: Most disturbing ingredient for a salad?
3) Hey everyone! I am a purple jerk and I love to drink Motor Oil!
2) Tal, it's always mutherlovin' TAL. You should know that by now.
1) Tal is actually the most disturbing ingredient for ANY meal. Unless you're a cannibal, I guess.
Poll 127: Do you read reviews before downloading a file?
3) always, you got to do something during all the time downloading costs
2) Umm... What's a Review?
1) What's a file?
Poll 128: Best extra feature in a DMOD?
3) I'm thinking more of instructions on how to unpack the dmod. There is a slight possibility this may not be terribly useful since opening just the readme would be more complicated than unpacking the whole thing, but it's dang idyllic.
2) All great games have sheep! Just look at Worms! Or was it the banana bomb?
1) Special offer: Download a D-Mod and get a free sheep through the post! With a banana on its head if you download two.
Poll 129: Do you visit the Dinknetwork message board?
3) i post alot i post alot i post alot i post alot
2) Less than 60 posts in the last year for me. Sad, sad.
1) I didn't know a message board could be made without cork, paper notes and drawing pins!
Poll 130: Best form of goverment?
3) Does staff kleptocracy mean the staff steal dinker's ideas? Because that would be sweet!
2) It could have also been "The Pillbug Empire"
1) Staff Kleptocracy and banana republic aren't mutually exclusive
And if everyone worshipped the DDC as well... that only leaves out benevolent dictatorship and voter pollocracy. Kindness and democracy? Pah.
Don't forget to submit your comments for the next pollocracy!
