    Just took a quick look at the one with the least amount of votes - http://brainking.com/en/OpinionPoll?poid=728

    Don't see that you voted in that one, so I would guess you might have missed a few here or there maybe.

    I know I don't release many polls, so to make up for it - I added 3 new Olympic polls!

    http://brainking.com/en/OpinionPollList

    2 are to see who you will think win the football (Soccer) gold in mens & womens. These 2 polls end SOON around August 1st, around the time the first round ends (so if you want to wait to see who is eliminated to pick....... just don't miss the deadline.)

    The last is a more general one about what sport you like the most - it is scheduled to end just after the Olympics end to give a little more time to vote.


    ****** THIS NOW brings us up to 51 total public polls, so lets see how many people will be earning their 50th public poll Achievement! *********

    Argomento: Most Olympic Medals
    Modificato da coan.net (28. Maggio 2012, 23:21:49)
    Just released a new poll today - to guess which country will win the most overall medals at the 2012 Olympics in London.

    http://brainking.com/en/OpinionPoll?poid=905


    I found a website which had it's own predictions, and I took those top 10 countries to include in this poll.

    The United States has won the most in the past 4 Olympics, but many think they will not win the most this year! Last Olympic, China won the most GOLD medals, but the United States won the most overall.

    Can China pull out more total medals? Can the host country pull out more medals? Or will there be a surprise country ready to take the most medals?

    And sorry in advance, I normally have a "no opinion" option in the poll, but I forgot to add it in this one (can't add answers once I released the poll) - I will try to have a default "no" answer in future polls.

    Short Poll - Open only 1 week (past poll said people liked short polls)

    What Team Tournament would you like setup to start on October 25, 2010?

    There are 17 games to choose from - games in the top 50 (of active games going) on the site, which has not had a team tournament start within the last year - and does not have a current team tournament running.

    Some interesting notes: [the (###) is the rank of "popular" on active game list]

  • International Checkers (#47) - Only game on list which has NOT had a site team tournament yet.
  • Halma 8x8 (#44) - Hasn't had a TT since December 2004
  • Chinese Chess (#45), PahTum (#29), and Loop Chess (#41) - not since 2005
  • Massacre Chess (#34) is the most recent in the list, having one start July 2009
  • Five in Line (#13), Plakoto (#15), and Froglet (#16) are the 3 most "popular" games in the list - with last TT June 09, May 08, and Nov 08 respectively.

    Argomento: MORE POLLS!!!!!
    Since the current poll out is looking like users here will mostly like shorter polls (1 week), I figured I would try to make some 7 day "quick polls" here and there - so figured I would start out one about web browsers.

    PLEASE FEEL FREE to leave suggestions - Looking for a subject that will apply to everyone world wide (not just one country). Feel free to post them here, or leave me a private message with them if you want.

    As for the current poll about web browsers - I would guess that top 5 will get the most votes (Chrome,Firefox, IE, Opera, & Safari) - but included about 14 others

    **** Also the past poll about an Anonymous vs. Public was pretty close (Well most people don't care) - but a more people like Anonymous then Public... but since it was pretty close, I'll try to mix in some Public votes along the way for fun.

    Snoopy: OK, I lied - I went ahead and released the poll a few minutes ago since this next week will be a busy one for me, so might as well do it now.

    How long should discussion polls stay open to vote?

    Some quick facts:

    Most votes are done within the first 2- 3 days (for example, the 2016 Summer Olympic poll was open for about 3 days and got 249 votes)

    Other polls lately which have been open for 1 month has gotten around 350 votes

    The World Cup 2010 poll has been open for about 2 months, and has gotten around 550 votes.

    So of course the longer they are open, the more votes they will get - so what do you think is a good time frame?

    MY OPINION: 14 days for a poll to stay open, giving the majority of people a chance to vote and hopefully catch those who are on vacation. And then also try to start one every time one ends, so around 2 polls a month. (Of course if the votes say something different, I'll try to do what the public wants..)

    Other opinions or thoughts?

    This one is simple - curious if people like the Anonymous or Public poll option.

    That is, like the Pizza Topping Public poll where you can see what everyone voted for.

    ... or if you like the anonymous option (like the World Cup Poll) where you don't see what others voted for.

    puupia: Jalapenoes was *almost* on the list. I actually spent about an hour doing internet searches on what the most "popular" toppings of pizza were - and like I mentioned, I probable had over 100 toppings at first... but tried to take off those that seemed a little less popular (leaving Almonds and Pecans on the list because I've never seen nuts on a pizza and thought it might be interesting if either of those got votes.)

    But since I have to type in each answer - submit - then as more answers are added scroll down to add another answer, I tried to keep the list as short as possible while still trying to get the most popular.

    So speaking on nuts on pizza - anyone ever see that and or try that? I'm not too big of a nut eater but for some reason it sounds like it might be kind of good on a pizza

    I know I do not have all the option for toppings listed on this poll. I tried to list what I think are many of the top options, along with a few other options... BUT I KNOW I DID NOT LIST THEM ALL. (the poll would have hundreds of options if I did.)

    So PLEASE feel free to list & discuss your favorite toppings here.

    Also to have some fun (and to see how it will look), the poll is "public" which means everyone can see what others voted for.

    Argomento: Re: shame there wernt
    Imsoaddicted: I know we discussed a little of this on the tournament board, but would love to discuss it a little more. (The subject of too many team tournament) (Plus since I'm one of the people who create site team tournaments, I REALLY do like to know what others want & think when creating them.)

    Yes, team tournaments like regular tournament can take a long time to complete when there are some slower players, or games that can last a long time in certain cases (like Cloning gammon when more and more pieces are introduced to a game.)

    On the face, the idea of "no more team tournaments until the others are finished" sounds good, but in my opinion, not really good for most players.

    For example, Lets say I love Backgammon & love playing in backgammon site team tournaments. I join one, I play all my games within 1 month - I did not do too well & my team did not do to well, so we will not move on.

    So what you are saying since other players (usually just a couple) will hold up a tournament for many many more months, that you think there should be no more backgammon team tournaments until it is complete - even if it will take 2 more years? Think that would be kind of unfair to me to not be able to play a site team tournament for that long just because the last one had not been completed yet.

    Of course a helpful solution would be if Fencer does implement the ability of tournaments to start next rounds once the winners are determined - that way even though a slow game might still hold up a tournament, it might also be one of those games that don't even matter to the final results of the round.

I've seen them work on other sites, and with a little planning for each (for unique situations like how to deal with timed out players who's cards in hand effect others) - I'm all for having turn-based card games on this site.

    KnightFighter: Every argument you made can be used for just about any games on this site.

    people complain that people are not moving - or not moving pieces which do anything - waiting 2 months to click on the game to move a piece.

    Playing chess over the board, you don't suppose to get outside support, but on a turn-based game system this is possible - It still is cheating.... just as it would be in a card game, but it's an argument which is already here and nothing new that is unique with a possible turn-based card game.

    I agree that some card games would be tricky to put into a turn-based game site, but with some good planning, it can work (and for some games, already works on other sites).

    Again, kind of a mute discussion since this is not what is being put on this site.

    KnightFighter: You are right - some people would not like playing certain games in a turn based environment - Just like you are put off by turn-based card games, some backgammon players are put off by turn-based backgammon games.

    Great thing is - You are free to choose which games you want to play and not want to play. So (just a suggestion) - instead of trying to convince everyone else why you would not like turn-based card games, why not just accept that some will like to play that way and some will not.

    (And it sounds like Fencer is not making it turn-based, so sounds like what he is working on might be perfect for what you like!)
