Notice about Patron-Guided Story Polls
Added 2020-02-17 19:11:13 +0000 UTCYou might be looking at the previous poll's results and be thinking, "Hrm, one of these options got more votes, but Cursey wrote for a different option." It does look weird! But as I explained in the original post, non-Hexed and up patrons can still vote in these polls, but their votes would be excluded. My current Patreon plan does not currently allow me to make tier-exclusive polls, so I have no way of really stopping these votes from coming in. As such, for this poll, I had to exclude one of the votes, which then lead to a three-way tie, which I then had broken by extending the poll to a few patrons who hadn't voted yet. With those results, "Research" was the winner~
If this continues to be a problem, then I'll work up a different system for doing the polls~ The best alternative would be having eligible patrons message me directly with their votes, which is a little inconvenient. For the time being, I'm going to continue running the polls as is~ which is why I ask that non-Hexed and up patrons do not vote in the polls~ As tempting as it might be, it does make the end results seem wonky! And I feel sad having to look away from your vote.
Thank you for your understanding~ If you have any suggestions, let me know in the comments. Maybe there's some crazy poll app or something that I'm completely overlooking~ I'd use something like Strawpoll, but that risks multiple votes from singular people leaking in, and I'm trying to keep the results as authentic as possible.
