The way this will work is, I will be putting up polls at whatever time is convenient, so not daily, but very close to it, and then you, yes you, the people of NSM, will vote for the option you prefer or agree with or whatever. After an indeterminate amount of time (see previous reference to frequency), I will post the results and add a new poll.

As for now I have results to a question I asked 13 people for their opinions on. I will be including myself in the statistics for everything because it's all about the people's opinions, and I am a people that has opinions. So, to state the question:

Which chord progression do you think sounds better:  Gm-Eb-F-D or Gm-Eb-Cm-D?

The statistics show that:

5/14 people prefer the Gm-Eb-F-D chord progression.
5/14 people prefer the Gm-Eb-Cm-D chord progression.
4/14 people were undecided or unable to answer.

The first actual poll should be up soon.

Oh that's why you asked me that in discord. Makes sense now

I can't tell you how much I loathe both of those progressions seeing as they're two of the most common chord progressions in pop music

I think Gm-Eb-F-D is less of a cliche, though.

The results are in!

Do you think this thread is a good idea?

The statistics show that:

2/15 (13.3%) people believe that this thread is a good idea.
10/15 (66.7%) people think only time will tell.
3/15 (20%) are hypocrites.

The next poll should be up momentarily.

I've never heard it pronounced that third way. Interesting to know people do!

Meanwhile, I never hear the first pronunciation, and I only ever hear the second one when someone has a thick (possibly foreign) accent. That third one is pretty much the norm over here.

The results are in!

Data, data, or data?

The statistics show that:

11/17 (64.7%) people pronounce it day-tuh.
4/17 (23.5%) people pronounce it da-tuh.
2/17 (11.8%) people pronounce it dah-tah. (i.e. me and the active Australian.)

The next poll will be up when the night grows cold. Wait, it already is here.

Which language is easiest to learn has complications, IMO:

• It's easier to learn French or Spanish if you know the other language.
• It's easier to learn German or English if you know the other language.
• It's easier to learn Japanese if you know English and/or Chinese.

There's a fair chance I'm abstaining from this question as a result.

Not to mention that it's much easier to learn a language when you're exposed to it daily (here's looking at you, French on Canadian food labels).

I see where you're coming from, but that's exactly why I slapped that "In your opinion" at the front of the question. Each person has a different view on what's easier, and the statistics that are being gathered are which languages people find to be easier to learn, not which languages are easier to learn. So the answer to the question is which one is easier for you, not easier in general. But if you still want to abstain from answering, that's cool with me.

I answered German, even though I took 4 years of Spanish in high school and haven't taken a single German lesson, apart from the bits I picked up from my dad, who majored in German in college. I think structurally German is a bit easier to grasp and Spanish has a heck of a lot of verb tenses and conjugations.

Tbh Indonesian/malaysian is probably one of the easiest.

Japanese is easily the hardest up there.

I voted for english, because I find it much easier to learn than german (there isn't the der/das/die thing), and I never tried the others.

And that's part of why I'm there, too!

Quote from: Dudeman on October 26, 2017, 09:26:32 PMSpanish has a heck of a lot of verb tenses and conjugations.

That's one of the problems with french: we have 23 tenses, and even 46 (!) if you count passive forms, so that's a complete mess to learn

The results are in!

In your opinion, which language is easiest to learn?

The statistics show that:

7/11 (63.6%) personas creen que el español es más fácil de aprender.
0/11 (0%) personnes croient que le français est le plus facile à apprendre.
2/11 (18.2%) people believe that English is easiest to learn.
1/11 (9,1%) glauben, dass Deutsch am einfachsten zu lernen ist.
1/11（9.1％）の人々は、日本語が学ぶのが最も簡単だと信じています。
0/11 (0%) creideann daoine go bhfuil an Ghaeilge is éasca a fhoghlaim.

I don't understand why no one thinks Gaelic is easy. I mean, just look at those beautiful, easy-to-read words.

Beidh an vótaíocht eile suas ag deireadh an tuar ceatha, ach ní dóigh leat go bhfaighidh tú mo phota ór! (That might've been a bit offensive. Sorry.)

This is good to hear; I'm planning on taking German next semester to fulfill the language requirement *shudder* at my university. Wish me luck...

Don't all Indo-European languages have a ton of verb tenses and conjugations?

(From what I've learned, if Chinese has as many verb tenses as English, it doesn't really display that it in its conjugations. About the only conjugation I've learned is "le" for past tense.)

Something tells me...
Just going way out on a limb here...
That the only 70 year-old people around here are jokesters. Or really good at masking age.

The funny thing about this latest poll is I'd have to answer entirely differently if this question had gone up a week ago. :P

Those are some very, very large categories.

Wait, Wariopiano was a senior citizen?

Quote from: LeviR.star on October 29, 2017, 12:21:21 PMWait, Wariopiano was a senior citizen?

Was a jokester

Discriminating against 2 years olds are ya?

We all know that all two year olds hate NSM with a burning passion, now don't we?

I mean, I did. Then I saw the light. It hurt.

Just so I'm notified on future posts. I had no other reason to do this

Sorry for not putting up statistics for a few days. There was a major power outage in the RI-CT area. Results and a new poll will be up later today.

The results are in!

At this current time, are you between the ages of 3-19, 20-39, 40-69, or 70+?

The statistics show that:

8/17 (47.1%) people on NSM are between the ages of 3-19.
9/17 (52.9%) people on NSM are between the ages of 20-39.
0/17 (0%) people on NSM are between the ages of 40-69.
0/17 (0%) people on NSM are 70+.

The new poll should be up soon. If not, then in an hour probably.

Everything in me wants to answer "both at the same time" even though it's not true. Gosh darn polls with good joke answers alongside the serious ones...

The only time I use two writing shticks simultaneously is when I'm colouring something.

I don't have the coordination to do that. I can barely write with one writing utensil.

Thanks, I needed this. I was very worried that people would react negatively to the joke answers, but I also felt it would be boring without any.

What if I use a lead holder?

Wait....Quill wasn't a joke answer was it?

The results are in!

Do you prefer to use a pen or a pencil?

The statistics show that:

5/15 (33.3%) people prefer pens.
8/15 (53.3%) people prefer pencils.
0/15 (0%) people don't have a preference.
0/15 (0%) people use both at the same time.
2/15 (13.3%) people prefer quills.

I'm actually surprised that no one picked the lack of preference. I would've expected some people to use either one and not care. But I guess that's what this is for, to find out new information that has no real world value.

The next poll will be up in an undeterminable amount of time.

Oh good grief, this is a hard one. I just love food, mang. Can you add a "I just love food" option?

I have cravings for very certain flavors at any given time, THC.

Quote from: LeviR.star on November 04, 2017, 11:32:08 AM^^

Same for me, but I'm looking for specifics. Just put whichever one you like most often, and if you can't, that's ok. I don't always crave umami, but it's the one I like most often out of them all.

The results are in!

What is your taste preference?

The saltistics show that:

2/10 (20%) people prefer salty.
1/10 (10%) people prefer sweet.
6/10 (60%) people prefer umami (savory).
0/10 (0%) people prefer bitter.
1/10 (10%) people prefer sour.

So, apparently no one loves coffee or tea. Maybe likes them, but if you loved them, you would've picked bitter. I personally hate coffee and find tea okay.

Next poll will be up before you can say "Unagi is umami" five times fast.

I know what that last acronym is, you clever bastard


Also, I generally find acronyms more aesthetically pleasing without periods. Just saying.

So do I. I just wasn't sure if it would look confusing. I fixed it.

Quote from: Dudeman on November 06, 2017, 03:59:00 PMyou clever bastard

Both happen to be accurate descriptions of my current state of being.

tfw trying to figure out what the last acronym means for a solid 10 minutes and getting nowhere

OH

I FIGURED IT OUT

The results are in!

Which acronym looks the most aesthetically (visually) pleasing to you?

The statistics show that:

1/13 (7.7%) people like Dunkin' Donuts.
1/13 (7.7%) people like The Legend of Zelda.
2/13 (15.4%) people stay at the YMCA.
1/13 (7.7%) people are kiss-ups.
8/13 (61.5%) people are patriotic for their forums.
0/13 (0%) people like the acronym I made up.

I'm very dissapointed in myself for letting this die. I enjoyed it, it seemed other people enjoyed it, and it's my fault it stopped happening. But I won't let that happen again! And yes, I asked permission to bring this back first.

TNPWBUS.

There's no option for "I never saw this thread and always thought about making something like it"

Did you forget that this thread existed?

The statistics show that:

4/9 (44.4%) people did something. I can't remember what.
2/9 (22.2%) people remembered. Aw, thanks guys!
1/9 (11.1%) people chose the right answer.
2/9 (22.2%) people think they're funny.

Next one will be serious, I swear. No, really!

The next poll will be up in a couple months soon.

We need an option for "I've never tried the stuff," because I get the feeling that's a lot of people here (myself included)

tapioca sounds mildly alcoholic to me

It's... rice pudding...

Tapioca's also found in bubble tea.

Do you like tapioca?

The statistics show that:

1/13 (7.7%) people have poor taste in food.
4/13 (30.8%) people have good taste in food.
2/13 (15.4%) people are indifferent.
6/13 (46.2%) people are lucky.

Tapioca pudding was, alongside cucumbers, made by ladybugs, which are demons and the spawn of spiders.

The next poll will be up before the stomach contents can leave your esophagus.

What if I haven't watched any of them?

There's an option for that.

Technically not. :P You have the option of not having heard of any of the shows. I've heard of them, just haven't watched any. :P

Bingo.

Quote from: Dudeman on March 12, 2018, 06:01:19 PMBingo.

It's close enough. Just choose that because adding one more option would make the results post uneven.

Psych is cool

As long as everyone else doesn't make their own poll topic this will work.

Don't want to repeat the "rendum pollssss" trend from years ago.

I accidentally clicked on CSI. I meant Psych.

Blows dust off a pile of papers.

Huh, would you look at this. Seems someone was trying to collect random data a long time ago. Perhaps I should continue their legacy, whoever Tyler Henry Cormaci is.

The results are in!

NCIS, CSI, or Psych?

The statistics show that:

2/18 (11.1%) people are more into the dramatic crime shows. (NCIS)
1/18 (5.6%) people are more into the science-based crime shows. (CSI)
4/18 (22.2%) people are more into the comedic crime shows. (Psych)
11/18 (61.1%) people don't watch crime shows. (Haven't seen/heard of these)

Ew, did someone leave a pineapple here since 2018? It's completely full of maggots now...

The next poll will be up faster than you can say "C'mon son".

OK, I got it. He's... absolutely nothing

Edit: Well, that'll show you how dead this forum is XD

I was planning on posting the results, but only two people have voted so far. And considering I am one of the two, I think it would be a bit biased.

You know, I was really hoping someone wasn't mean enough to say that to someone they don't even know, XD

0/4 (0%) people have not been converted yet. (No)
1/4 (25%) people have sullied my name and must receive punishment! (I'm the only one that chose this)

Well, good to know. Now I'm just curious who the fourth person who voted was.

The next poll will be up faster than we can convert the heretic.

Add an option to hate them all please

Okie doki panic

3/6 (50%) people aren't afraid of things that are smaller than their hand. (None of the above)
2/6 (33.3%) people are afraid of all things that are smaller than their hand. (All of them)

I can't stand spiders...

The next poll will be up faster than when you wake up with a jolt from a nightmare.

Re: current poll

Depends on whether you're filling something up or emptying it :P If you're filling up a container and stop halfway through, it's "half full." If you're emptying a container and stop halfway through, it's "half empty." I'm a stickler for details like that.

The glass is ____?

1/8 (12.5%) people are too lazy to include the answer they, and most people, would have picked. (this wasn't an option in the poll, this is just me berating myself)

Well, nice to see we don't have any pessimists here.

The next poll will be up faster than you can fill a glass of water with an industrial hose.

let's see if I'm the only person who gave themself a 5
