Title: THE POLL!
Post by: Oddboy on 15 May, 2002, 07:29:24 PM
Do people want to ammend there poll answers so that the results don't become a farce?  Having John Wagner at 80% and Wagner at 20% makes it look sloppy.
And Alan Grant at 30%, Grant at 10% and Grant Morrison at 30%.

Make the poll readable people!

And Moore, which one?  (No sarcastic comments please)  If people justt put both names beginning with capital letters, we'll be fine.

By the way if Arthur is listening, are you American?

Aaah! I said this in an earlier thread, not having made it this far yet in my catching up.

Tidying it up is a good idea.

Why isn't there more support for Steve Moore? :-)

You used the American spelling of favourite, I copied and pasted and I didn't notice till after people had started voting.

If you were American I might have let you off :)

No Mike - it was my bad.  I started the new thread before I'd checked all the other ones.
But I thought it'd probably get more noticed in a new thread anyway....

No criticisms here, OBG.

By the way, I'm still behind the times.

Why are you dead?

Finally, great to see Doug's new username. Let's hope there's no-one around calling themselves Magma...

Hey Doug, if you're such a fan, why haven't you voted for "Oh shuggles" in the expletive poll? No-one picked it at all.

Oh stomm!

Depends on how you deal with each voter having 4 votes.
Title: Re: THE POLL!
Post by: Oddboy on 15 May, 2002, 08:39:33 PM
The %s are different because Arthur's version has each vote/total votes where as my version has each vote/total voters.
Didn't mean to step on your toes Arthur - great minds think (almost) alike?
Title: How to cope with the loss
Post by: Oddboy on 15 May, 2002, 08:44:31 PM
It was suicide.
I was feeling lonely & depressed sitting in the chat room alone.
Then UKDane came along & taunted me by being there but not saying anything.
I just couldn't cope so I killed myself.
After spending several days trapped like a Dark Judge in a containment unit locked in that chat room my spirit form escaped & was once again free to purge the various goings on of the message board.

I'm still working on a convincing way to come back to life.  Until then I'm just part of the undead.

EEK, Any female Warlocks(?) turn up, I'm out of here quicker than one of Scojo's returns!

I would have, but 'funt' just tops the lot. But seeing as no one voted for it, I'll change it now!!

As it turns out, I'd missed that one, so I'm not fickle at all!!

vote/total voters is useful in this case.

However, the problem with recalculating it is that someone might have voted for John Wagner twice (once as Wagner and once as John Wagner), so in theory you could end up with more than 100% of voters voting for him.

vote/total votes can be problematic...since it's affected by how many people use all four of their votes.

Yeah but if people are going to vote for the same person twice then they're out to screw the poll anyway - however it's calculated.

And who are the Gurr Brothers?
What did they write?

The Gurr Brothers wrote a pitchfest winning futureshock.

I decided to have edit the misspelt and abbreviated entries...since I didn't have to deal with any ambiguous answers.
