Increased Number of Poll Options
So I noticed that the maximum number of poll options has recently gone up to 24 (it was originally at 16 IIRC). What do you think?

If polls are going to be this long, I wish the Last Thread / Next Thread links could be moved above the poll so that you can skip over a thread without scrolling down.

Full marks for thinking of twenty-four things to put in your poll.

MarkG is predicting twentyfour civs in the Civ4.

But funny idea

Well ... since there are gonna be a total of 24 Civs once PtW has come out then people might want to do a 'Which Civ is best?' or 'Which UU is best?' poll and include all the Civs as options. It makes sense to expand ...
Congrats to Ixnay for coming up with all those options ... especially "I voted for the option above this one", which I think is very funny!

-I think this thread is spam and ixnay37 should get a PCR.-
This isn't really spam. Someone would have noticed and posted about eventually.

Couldn't decide whether third from bottom or fourth from bottom was more ironic, so I voted for both.

Having only a single option answer to a poll with 24 options is pointless, unless you have a large number of people voting.
Either you get all options getting 2-3 votes, or you get lots of options having no votes. Either way it leads to redundancy.

It will work well for posts about civs once PTW is release though.

Are we going to keep 24 options after that poll is over?
