Heya guys and gals... Need your help with something :]

For those of you that check my page out occasionally, you know I run a
poll, usually Shadowrun related, on the front page. But i really SUCK at
coming up with questions for that poll.

So what i'm looking for are some serious (or at least semi-seirous) ideas
for a poll question and some possible choices.

Keep in mind I can only do 5 Choices per queestion, so generally things
like "Your favorite Fictional SR Character" don;t work cause invariably I
get asked about people who aren;t on that rather short list of 5.

I'd like as many ideas as possible too, as I'll store them away to use
late. And whoever posts the question gets credit :] (Oooo, your name in
lights <chuckle> Big incentive there, eh? :))

Thanks :]

Bull

I have polls on my site as well. The first line is always the same:

"If you were stuck in an alternate future, where political conspiracies
abound everywhere and human beings are augmented by cyberware and/or magic,
with huge multinational syndicates trying to kill you,..."

then comes the actual question; in this case:

"What tridshows would you be watching?"

1. Wyrm Watch!
2. Super-Death-Manacing-Surfing-Ninja-Killers from Hell and/or Outer Space!
3. Urban Brawl Weekly! Let's see those boys fight it out!
4. Desert Wars. See those coporate teams blow eachother up with surgical
precision!

You can vote at:
http://www.dv8.nl/test/qpoll31.cgi?poll_id�0001&action=replace

and see the results at:
http://www.dv8.nl/test/qpoll31.cgi?poll_id�0001&action=view

I have to incorporate them into my website, but it's coming along nicely.

A question about the present downward spiral of video journalism and where

a. Journalistic integrity, intelligence and voice.
b. Good hair (male)/cleavage (female).
c. Willingness to strip on camera.
d. Ability to pummel guests and loudly threaten rival anchors.

I've been running polls pretty much weekly on my site for
about a year and a half now, and I know what you mean about
coming up with questions! A list of mine and their responses
can be found at:

http://www.magespace.net/feedback.html

They might give you some inspirations, if nothing else.

LOL. Every week we play the Corporate politics game from Corporate Download
and whenever anyone uses publicity we always come up with the line they are
using; "Lofwyr in young wyvern scandal!" Damien Knight -- becuase he's not a
geek!"
