I think it does, and in fact very clearly so. As of now 63% of players votes were casted either strongly supporting change(option1), or rather supporting it than not(option2). Only 29% of the voters are opposed to change. That means for every person who voted to keep Clams as it is now there are more than two people who voted to change it. I would say it is quite clear where public opinion stands.

Its a good poll, good options, Im glad its running. But as a grand total goes it will depend on whether you feel the Hmm, I don't really have strong opinion about it, but I wouldn't mind having them toned down to satisfy all these people who complain about them is a split of the NO answer or a split of the YES answer. I would tend to bunch it in with No, clams are just fine, leave them as it is. But I can see where others might consider it an answer for the other side. [/qb]

No, it doesn't. As a poll author allow me to disagree with you, with all due respect Gandalf.

I think I have formulated every option very clearly, so there is no place for misunderstanding about what each option means.

Option 1 and 2 are different degrees of agreement to change, for different reasons. Option 3 is of neutrality. Option 4 is against change. Certanly, the vote "yes" is indeed splited in two. It was done to allow to express different attitudes and degrees of convictions that players may have, and as you can see both are quite popular options. Sure, I could add 2 or 3 or 5 more options but it was not really nessesery for the purpose of this poll, and I feel it would be more of hair spliting if I did, and that could also made poll results less clear at the end.

As it is now there is absolutely no uncertanly in this poll, I've made sure of it when I was formualting poll options, to allow everybody to express clearly how he/she feel about issue. In particular it is very clear to everybody who has particiapated in this poll than if they chose option 1 or option 2 it mean "Yes" to change.


As I've said in my first message, this is an improved poll to allow people better express their position, and I think it did its job well - look how every option is being choosed by significant percentage of people.
