I think when a showdown is done, we should debate over the two items first and then vote on it. Otherwise the debate will count for little with the poll results looming over them. |

Well yeah, but what's the problem with debating alongside voting. It's not like people are going to change their minds after the debate. Besides, in the Perry vs. Scabbia Showdown we had some fun discussions (or at the very least arguments) even though the poll itself was pretty one-sided. All it takes is the right subject. I think that the current one (picked by me, mind you) was too "taste-based" which makes it hard to discuss. We need some better subjects, then the current structure is satisfactory enough. |

Well of course having a debate before voting wouldn't chang the poll results much, but it would make it more fun I think. If no one has voted yet teh debate would atleast feel as if it had an influenceon the votes (which it could, you never know). Debating after a vote (despite the fact that the vote doesn't really matter) just has a feeling of pointlessness to it I think. Having the numbers up already sort of makes the debate like a "You lost, we won" kind of thing. I just think it would only make a showdown better. As the debate would lad up to the voting, which would be the cimax of the whole thing

If you can ensure that we have the same amount of voters as we do now, then I agree, but I just fear that some people might not vote, because they won't realize that the poll is up, since they might not return to the topic. While as it is now they can vote straightaway and we are really interested in having as many voters as possible. |

I seem to remember on invisionfree you could only add a poll to a topic up to 24 hours after the topic had been made. I don't know if its the same with Zetaboards and maybe its different for Admins so Sunny might be able to add a poll at any time. But we could make it clear that the poll isn't up immediately when the topic is made. We could have the first day as the debate period, where people can make their arguments for and against in the hopes of convincing other people. Then after the first day the poll goes up and the voting begins, discussion would continue obviously but people would be able to just vote at that point if they don't want to get into detailed discussions about the showdown. After all, not everyone will have a big interest in every showdown, so if they don't have much of a preference they might not want to talk about it. For example, Sunny mentioned a car showdown. I know absolutely nothing about cars apart from the basics of how a combustion engine works (Had to learn that for Chemistry at High School), so I'd probably just vote for whichever one I liked the look of and wouldn't be able to discuss the finer points of which car performs better, etc. |

Yeah all right. I can add a poll to a topic at any point. We can always try and see if people still vote. Can't hurt to try. |
