Why that reason? Because it is the reason I assumed most people would vote for if they voted No.

Hence the bias.

The poll was made by me, clearly a biased player (why else would I take the time to write it and try to promote the idea). I'm not an Admin or someone who has to be super politically correct here, this is just my post sharing an idea.
I know it was biased, that is why I made the second option that was unbiased. Shows how many people pay attention, or are confident in their own reasoning for an answer. Either way you can still add up the No's to get the total No's, the only difference is with my bias you get a little more insight as to why someone chose No, since most likely not everyone who votes will post. To be fair, and not put "words in people's mouths", I added the second No option, which was unbiased. I don't see the problem here.

My response to this is simple: If you can't even make an unbiased poll, why should I believe that ANY part of this isn't biased in your favor by design.

You have effectively discredited yourself.

EDIT: by "this" I meant the entire OP.

.. Please clarify what you mean when you say "why should I believe that ANY part of this isn't biased in your favor by design". What are you referring to as "this", and what is there to believe in, in anything I said? I can't respond until I understand your statement. Thanks.

PS: please use EDIT, I'll use EDIT to respond. No need to take up more posts than we already did, thanks

Edit: The entire OP is just a message, that I want you to read, and make your own decision about. There is nothing to believe. And how could you apply bias to my OP? Clearly its biased, its my idea that I'm trying to promote. Yes the poll has some biased options, I could have done that better. I should have kept it "neutral", but in the spur of the moment I had a moment of a bad decision, and let my bias flow into the poll options. I'd change it if I could, but then the current votes would reset, and this thread would make no sense to anyone. but the OP? and belief?

A legitimate poll should be unbiased in nature, and accurately depict the will of the people. I read the poll, almost voted, stopped, read it again, turned on Fox News, compared the two, and found that they matched.

FIFY.

I try to suggest a new idea, sure I possibly got carried away and didn't make a Perfectly Unbiased Poll, and now people are going way off topic and hijacking the thread with rabble. I'm not a government office that is designing your election ballots, jeez give me a break and stay on topic plz

I'm changing my vote to a no. I didn't mind the bias in the poll as much as some others in here, but creating an alt to bash your detractors makes you completely lose all credibility, phys.

(For those who didn't see before it was edited to "[removed]", happypanda joined the forum for the first time and four minutes later posted some kind of bizarre analogy about a baker offering free samples of cookies while the customers argue about a cookie-based opinion poll.)

To attack it on its own demerits: you're basically suggesting making it like XP orbs, which are NOTORIOUSLY lag-tastic. Except this'd be worse, possibly by quite a bit.

1) XP at least shows up, so players can always see it and grab it.
2) Most players have a LOT more RC than XP.

Also, skimming through your posts, I notice that you tend to be very much in support of ideas that would make the server significantly tougher. Bored, or do you want more ways to take stuff from people?

For further reasons to reject this idea, please see the thread he first posted it on - http://minerealm.com/community/viewtopi ... =10&t=3958

EDIT: 15 no's, and 2 yes's (1 of which was me).
Clear nobody wants this so let the thread die out. Thanks

Prodigy: Ah, is THAT what was removed?

Yup. I obviously can't prove that it was his alt, but I much suspect that it was. I regret that I wasn't able to get the full text of the post--by the time I hit the quote button it had already been changed.
