50/50

There are two options to vote. The goal is to keep them as close to equal, each with 50% of the votes, as possible. But of course you can't see how many have voted for each before you cast your vote too.

Go.

Edit: And if there are any answers, don't look at those before you vote, because then you see what the others did and that's a spoiler.

    Can you alter the poll to make votes anonymous?

    Sadly, no. I thought about it a bit but too late. I can edit the post, though, to have it contain a warning.

    I was disappointed to discover the votes were 3/3 before I voted, meaning that my choice was irrelevant :/

    I think that second half has a serious psychological disadvantage.

    Gah I've skewed the results! Hopefully more than 16 people will vote :P

    This is my favorite non-serious poll, and my second favorite overall (most polls don't have options I like, but the one about which stronghold quest in BG2 was your favorite actually had an answer for every option and a none option)

    I thought that most people would assume the first half would get more votes, and so they would try to balance things up by voting for the second half. Therefore I voted for the first half to counterbalance it!

    I voted second half because I figured more people would click the first option because that is easier

    You and your sibling are captured and locked in separate cells, unable to communicate.

    In each cell there is a magical button. If you press your button and vote for the First Half and your sibling does not, you will die but your sibling is free.

    If your sibling presses the Second Half button and you do not, they will die but you will go free. If neither you nor your sibling press the buttons, both of you will die.

    If both of you press your respective buttons, both of you will die. You have one hour to make your choices.

    Ok, so my theory : everyone knows first half is the best option to go and therefore will think that the second half is losing, therefore most will vote for the second half. If my theory of the human psyche is correct, then I have to vote for the first half! Lemme see!

    I just hope that someone thinks that there is someone like you, who assumes that there are people who think the first half will get more votes and thus are voting for second half, and votes first half to counterbalance that, who votes second half to counterbalance your counterbalance!

    Minus that last step, that's what I did.

    @smeagolheart
    I was wondering if/when this thread was going to be BG related :D

    I just rolled a D100.. well.. 69.. so it's second half which (seeing the result now) turned out to be a good roll ;P
  • smeagolheartsmeagolheart Member Posts: 7,963
    @toanwrath seems to fit like the psychological question there from BG2... Well I tried to make it fit :)

    Shouldn't someone start complaining about someone complaining around now or do we wait for page 2 before that?

    @mlnevese
    Can I complain about your post expecting someone to start complaining about someone complaining?
