Poll results so far (29-September):

Total Number of Votes: 3724

Staff of the Dead 26% (965 votes)
Staff of Darkness 24% (894 votes)
Staff of Light 18% (684 votes)
Staff of Wrath 14% (514 votes)
Wand of Darkness 9% (337 votes)
Staff of the Damned 9% (330 votes)

Will there be a final round between the 2 most popular options? Because currently

Transparent ghostly staff 26% (965 votes)
Non-transparent non-ghostly staff 74% (2759 votes)

Personally I voted for wrath but if I had know this, I would have voted for darkness. A final round would be only fair, and it wouldn't even postpone GWD.

^^^ This, please.

Allowing something with 26% to win because the other staffs split the vote would be ridiculous.

Here we go again, people trying to find loop-holes in the system when they don't get their way. Everything stated here is forwarded from a major corporation. Nothing here is my opinion. Enjoy your salad.

It's not a loophole, it's a valid concern.

What he's talking about is known as a run-off election, and it's used in many countries around the world for elections precisely because basing things on a single round of polling can be highly inaccurate.

This poll has resulted in ~50% of the players having "wasted" votes, since ultimately only the Staff of Darkness and the Staff of the Dead are actually competing to win.

We need another round of voting to figure out what that 50% would actually like.

If the staff of dead is so great then why don't you seem confident it would win a final round?

Hate agreeing with phil and julian, but... do you really think it's reasonable that 71 people decide this one?

What harm in polling the top 2 to see what the majority support? "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

Technically it only takes 1 person to decide a vote normally. ;)

That said, ya, I'd love a run off...
