    What we asked:

    Q: Which of the following games & expansions do you own?
    (753 votes total)

    NWN + both expansions (485) 64%
    Neverwinter Nights only (92) 12%
    None of the above (89) 12%
    NWN + 1st expansion (Shadows of Undrentide) (59) 8%
    NWN + 2nd expansion (Hordes of the Underdark) (28) 4%

    Nearly two thirds of the people who voted (64%) own the original Neverwinter Nights, as well as both expansions.

    12% of the poll participants own Neverwinter Nights only, while another 12% don't own any Neverwinter Nights games whatsoever.

    8% of those who voted own Neverwinter Nights and Shadows of Undrentide.

    The remaining 4% of the people who voted in our poll own Neverwinter Nights and Hordes of the Underdark.

    Stop asking questions for people who own games. Ask more hypothetical questions.

    Easier said than done. You can only have so many relevant hypothetical questions, and I've pretty much asked them all already. Besides, something relevant to the games every now and then makes sense. I'm always on the lookout for poll ideas, however, so if you or anyone else have any good ones, feel free to PM them to me.

    The summary/commentary of every poll is usually pretty dull to read since it typically just recaps the percentages.
    One idea of making that commentary more interesting would be to compare how many answered the poll compared with how many answered some selected past polls.

    You can't really do more than a summary on most polls, since everything's pretty self-explanatory. (And, frankly, after doing it for 5 years stright, I'm not really inclined to comment much... Time constraints are another issue.)

    I'm not sure what comparing the number of people who voted would achieve?

    It would show what subjects are more taken to hard by people, on which they more feel inclined to vote. This is of course only possible if there are noticeable differences between the number of people voting between the different polls.

    I can tell you that right now... any polls related to to anything having to do with the site will get half less votes than anything else. And anything having to do with BG2 will usually get the most votes. Apart from that, there aren't really any solid rules what'd get more votes. Depends largely on the question...
