As with many of the things that turn up in these polls, if you don't like it, please vote No. Then, if there's still substantial interest on the forums, we can poll a different version later.
Isn't this a slightly clumsy way of carrying out the poll? You've responded to others before about similar things saying that (paraphrasing) "If we did that then we'd have to re-poll multiple times and drag it out for weeks". Would a multiple choice of the three possible options (stab, slash, crush) not work better?

And sorry if it seems like I'm coming at you a bit too much today (especially on a Sunday of all days, isn't this a day off? o: ), it's just that I want to hear your reasons for doing things this way.

Yes, it's my day off.

Suppose the results were 35% voting for A, 33% voting for B and 32% voting for C. If we chose the most popular, that'd be nowhere near the 75% level of support that the polls expect. We've done that for cosmetic questions that have no gameplay significance, such as the name of a minigame, but I'm loathe to change the attacks of high-profile weapons on results like that.

There aren't endless options for this particularly question, though, so I don't see it running to an endless series of polls. Two at most.

(And, since it's my day off, I'm afraid I must be heading home now. Sorry.)

That is a rather extreme case. If that were to ever happen I guess you'd just have to poll the top two against each other and it would be the same result in the end, but it would at least be clearer. The problem with the current question is that if you vote no, does that mean you are voting to keep it as stab? There's no guarantee that it will be re-polled with a slash question, at least not with the information provided on the poll.

Anyways, thanks again for the time out to respond to our questions on your day off.

I really like the idea of Soul Snatcher and the Storm Atronach, the other ones I don't really care for or don't want in the game. Nice to see Mod Ash interacting with us players, definitely made my day a whole lot better than it was before.
