Welcome back to another episode of Pollocracy! Once again we posted a selection of the best poll comments for your reading pleasure.

See the comments to read it all.

Exactly 85 days after pollocracy 6 there is another pollocracy, namely this one. 9 polls were held in this period, here are some of the comments people posted: (Note: Text [between square brackets] is mine.)

Poll 157: Coffee or tea?

3) Wait a moment, do you add milk or sugar to coftea? Or is it both? Either way I would put in motor oil.
2) I'm going to try this now. If I end up vomiting uncontrollably on the floor, I blame YOU, poll!
1) Coffee stains teeth. And steals your soul. Not to be confused with dentists that worship the DDC. They stain your soul and steal your teeth.

[Confusing tea and neurologists would be an even worse idea...]

Poll 158: Why does Ethel have a beard?

3) No wonder she gets all self-consious when Dink asks about the booze...
2) Simple... Quackers is indeed Tal disguised.
1) She doesn't have a beard, don't be silly

[And to all those that claimed Ethel is a guy... Dink calls Ethel a 'she' and so does Dink's mother. I'm getting strange visions of Ethel being a transvestite...]

Poll 159: Should there be a version 1.09 soon?

3) More duckless heads would be nice!
2) Pfft, 1.09. Where I come from the system works with 1.0 and 1.2 being stable versions while 1.1 and 1.3 are development. And we had actual engine updates too.
1) Fix all the new commands from 108. Introduce new commands to be fixed in 110.

[I have vision. (Yes this poll was held before that thread)]

Poll 160: How important is backward compatibility for a new version of Dink?

3) DDC is backyard compatible.
2) I'll feed myself to the DDC anyway, those who do will come to an even better world. (maybe 2.0?!)
1) I am not very tasty tho so maybe I will be rejected as the next DDC offering, then again... maybe that's a good reason to be the next sacrifice - it will force backwards compatability or they have to eat me! Muhahaha.. *coff* *choke* *splutter*

Poll 161: How is this year's n00bfest?

3) Well, not many new ones, but our resident n00bs are driving me bananas
2) Tal ate my banana
1) Definitely better than the Oktoberfest!

Poll 162: How were the contest results really decided?

3) I'm pretty sure they printed out each D-Mods title screen, chcuked them all in a blender, poured it into a dish, and voted for teh D-Mod that it most resembled.
2) Staff judged each title screen; Agatha had three different so it won.
1) Well *winks surepticiously* I personally gave all staff 15 kees of bananas, perfectly polished and primed to peel themselves AND pop into your mouth, must have worked cause my wee mod climbed the unclimable list and all I can put it down to is the bananas

[Did you know that bananas have a 'best before' date? 15 kees... ]

Poll 163: Food is best:

3) i love to eat second hand gaseous food! [Does anyone have a similar confession to make? ]
2) Love liquids; can I have a zip of you pizza-coke?
1) And don't forget dead. I hate it when my food runs away.

Poll 164: Favorite musical instrument?

3) Yeah, like a Kalashnikov guitar?
2) Shawm is the only one I'd never heard of. Is it wierd that I know what all the rest are? Anyway, I'll pick the kazoo because it sounds like someone trying to play a banana.
1) Like saw. I want a saw option, dammit!

[Beer bottles!]

Poll 165: Favorite musical instrument?

3) what no Tal inrument yet?
2) I want a choice including okarina Digridoo, bagpipes! Normal instruments like those hehe
1) HEAVY METAL GLOCKENSPIEL SOLOOOO!!

[Check out the vegetable orchestra if you want even more obscure instruments.]

In memory of Skull. 
3) Wait a moment, do you add milk or sugar to coftea? Or is it both? Either way I would put in motor oil.

2) Pfft, 1.09. Where I come from the system works with 1.0 and 1.2 being stable versions while 1.1 and 1.3 are development. And we had actual engine updates too.
(Battle for Wesnoth can do it, why can't we?)

I need to do better, 2/9 and no first places.

The "Motor Oil" comment was mine, Earl I've used motor oil in previous polls. It's a Red vs Blue reference.

Other then that one though;
Definitely better than the Oktoberfest!

There may have been one more but I've forgotten which it was.

The guy with the cute D-Mod. 
I was getting really sad and everything and then I came to the last comment about the heavy metal glockenspiel, and I vaguely remember that being mine. So I'm happy.
