Title: Family Feud style polls
Post by: Grey on April 18, 2004, 10:51:46 AM
I'm in a big fix right now, so I'll be a little short with it.

Name a way you can help out someone who plays the Feud at his church.

[font=\"Courier\"][TAKE HIS POLL |78][/font]

Okay, so I'm exaggerating a little, But not by a whole lot.

Take the poll here (http://\"http://www.saiyanhedgehog.net/polls.htm\")

 Why exactly do you need my email address for a poll for Feud material?

That didn't bother me as much as the multiple-choice format rather than the open dialog box I could type my own answer into.

 That wasn't so bad, since you have to admit in most cases you woulda picked one of the radio buttons. But I would REALLY like an answer on the email thing.

Your e-mail address is only used for verification purposes and will not be used for any other reason.
Limit one submission per e-mail address.
I guess they mean that it's checking to make sure you answer only once.

 Fair enough. I'm almost SURE that wasn't there when I first looked at the page. Apparently I wasn't the only person with questions. :)

Yeah, I was kinda wondering about the multiple-choice vs. free response format.

But the e-mail address really is there so people don't flood my mailbox with the same poll over and over again. I really hate it when the same people take the same poll many times.

I think I'll let the next poll be free-response... but that's only after I get 100 people to take this one. So please get others to take it, spammit!

 It was a bad idea. I tried my best, but I KNOW some of my responses were influenced by the multiple choice, and you don't want that. If that means you have some singletons that don't make the poll, well, that's Feud.

It's more work to compile similar responses, but I think having a better quality of results is worth it.

Family Feud is a game of free association, not matching a writer's answers.

No, it isn't.  As you know, Family Feud is a game of definitions.

If you need me, I'll be in the Kenny vs. Spenny room.

I thought Jim Perry's long-running Canadian series was a game of...oh, never mind. :-D
