Yes or No to polls?
There has been some controversy as of late regarding the polls. Now is your chance to express how you feel about the polls, and what better way than with a poll?

While I do appreciate your efforts to infuse the forum with life, aren't there more productive things to do? I know that you think that the discussions about Victoria/Catherine/Maria Theresa and the Tech Tree are stupid, but those of us who participate on those threads are contributing to knowledge about the game. I don't intend to sound disrespectful, but how would you even know to do a poll about the Russian or Babylonian leader unless others had figured out which civs were included? Some of your threads are repetitive and pure fluff, but I will admit in some cases they are fun. So I guess I think that these polls are good for the people who enjoy them, but I think that there are more interesting things to discuss.

And finally, it's kind of obnoxious to have a poll discussing whether polls are an addition or not. (Sorry, just had to say that)

Who says I think the other threads are stupid? I've been spearheading the Catherine/Maria Theresa/Victoria thread. I was even the one who suggested the mystery portrait WAS Victoria. And while I haven't really been posting on the tech tree, I do find the messages interesting and check the threads when there are updates! I am disinterested in the pointless bickering that seems to occur over trivial information that doesn't even really apply!

Shouldn't the question be polls, poles or Poles?

This has a distinct chance of getting silly.

A thread like this prolly should go in the Community forum. IIRC they already have something like this there

Anyway Ming or someone like him (nevermind ) dislikes polls because there are just too many of them. I'm inclined to agree. Luckily, a thread isn't bumped in these forums whenever there's a vote. Now that's annoying.

They belong, but only in moderation.

Well, if this thread was actually asking the question of whether people want to see more leader polls, which I think was the intention, I think it belongs here in the Civ3 forum. Unfortunately I just think it wasn't worded too well.

I like the leader polls, wouldn't mind seeing a few more.

Poll's can be interesting,but sometimes to much is to much.
Like those about the kings.It might have been much better if it were possible to put all those poll's in one thread so you can go through them all at ones.
(but i know it's impossible)

Well you already know its impossible, so the current situation is the best option available. Nothing wrong with that.

Note to mark- I am reporting this thread for spam

Alexander, don't feel bad, you meant well, but most people would think this thread had no point.

PS. Your polls are interesting.
