I don't know. Do people really want to ask questions in their OP without putting a question mark deliberately, or do they just randomly put the first punctuation mark that crosses their way?

You do realize that this poll, by its very nature, can never be accepted as accurate, yes?

That is the other thing. If people are more inclined to mess up the results by clicking the first option then maybe we should put the joke option first.

People don't just pick the first one. Many just pick option 9, though.

What I wonder is if people actually read the first post of polls. Including the links.

Maybe someone should make one asking a question while explaining in the post one should pick a specific (unlikely to be truly chosen) answer.

I think forum polls for the most part, at least on NSG, are accurate.

And usually very interesting too.

Actually, the first-option-poll-clickers will be drawn to this like a moth to a flame. Now you will know who they are.

There wasn't an option 9, so I just picked the first one.:confused:

I always go for the zeroth option, but then, I'm a C programmer. :p

actually we won't. the Poll isn't open so we still won't know 'who' they are. :p

I pick honestly for the most part. I think a sizable amount of people lie.

I have a complicated formula:
Spin the spinner on the twister game, then take a chance card. If my battleship is still afloat then I move my rook to take over all of asia. If however the other person has a full house, and I cannot form a word with my tiles, and the butler did not do it then I get asked a question on famous people. If the question is answered correctly then I advance 2 places (however If I land on a snake I go back 8) before finally getting my hippo to eat as many of the little balls as possible to catch the mouse.

And then I just choose the last option of the poll...

I don't know, I didn't read your question I just clicked the first one.
