1. To tell everyone how bad a game is without having any knowledge of it myself 2. To feel superiour to fantasy/scifi players when that's the subject by proclaiming that I'd never play such a game. 3. So that I can provide one word answers (typically "no") and expect everyone to read my mind to understand why. 4. Because I am incapable of understanding that the original poster is not talking to me personally. 5. I love annoying people using medium that prevents any sort of personal responsibility for what I say. 6. All of the above
Connard Sage	06 Oct 2011 8:31 a.m. PST
Because I can.
Martin	06 Oct 2011 8:33 a.m. PST
I don't. Wait I just did but if I don't then I couldn't have but I did. HELP I'm confused.
Connard Sage	06 Oct 2011 8:37 a.m. PST
Wait I just did but if I don't then I couldn't have but I did. This isn't a poll, it's a poll suggestion. Do try to keep up or else you'll get even more confused.
richarDISNEY	06 Oct 2011 8:40 a.m. PST
7) I like to fill out polls. I really do.
Angel Barracks	06 Oct 2011 8:44 a.m. PST
What richarDISNEY said. I seldom comment though.
Shagnasty	06 Oct 2011 8:45 a.m. PST
Ditto rD's comment.
MajorB	06 Oct 2011 8:47 a.m. PST
Why not?
PJ Parent	06 Oct 2011 8:47 a.m. PST
Prizes.
lugal hdan	06 Oct 2011 9:03 a.m. PST
8) For the random chance of winning something.
yorkie o1	06 Oct 2011 9:05 a.m. PST
Because this is a discussion forum? And you might win something.
Ron W DuBray	06 Oct 2011 9:23 a.m. PST
entertainment and distraction
Broadsword	06 Oct 2011 9:28 a.m. PST
A slim chance of winning something before the OFM gets it yet again.
Sundance	06 Oct 2011 9:41 a.m. PST
Trying to win the !@[&*() prize!
21eRegt	06 Oct 2011 9:41 a.m. PST
9. Curiosity about how my opinions/values compare to others. (And the miniscule chance of winning something.)
chonk34	06 Oct 2011 9:49 a.m. PST
1, 5, 7, and 8.
John the Greater	06 Oct 2011 9:56 a.m. PST
To keep up my streak of never having won the prize. Also because, well, why not?

ming31	06 Oct 2011 10:14 a.m. PST
Why not
Mako11	06 Oct 2011 10:47 a.m. PST
For the prizes, and 6.
Agent 13	06 Oct 2011 10:55 a.m. PST
Because it's there.
vojvoda	06 Oct 2011 11:12 a.m. PST
Only takes a second. VR James Mattes
Rassilon	06 Oct 2011 11:20 a.m. PST
Why not?
The Beast Rampant	06 Oct 2011 11:59 a.m. PST
Zardoz.
Patrick Sexton	06 Oct 2011 12:31 p.m. PST
Because there are occasionally polls on something I give a rat's ass about.
ochoin deach	06 Oct 2011 12:38 p.m. PST
Cause I want to be famous.
Grand Duke Natokina	06 Oct 2011 12:46 p.m. PST
It's the civic duty of TMPers to vote.
14Bore	06 Oct 2011 1:48 p.m. PST
Because I can
flicking wargamer	06 Oct 2011 1:49 p.m. PST
Because people really do want to know what I think about everything. If they listened to me more they would be a lot happier.
Poi000	06 Oct 2011 2:01 p.m. PST
Prizes
Mister X	06 Oct 2011 2:54 p.m. PST
Because I wanna. Also, the prizes, which I've only won once.
gweirda	06 Oct 2011 7:34 p.m. PST
no life…bored… no wait: that's why I log on…does that count?
Old Contemptibles	06 Oct 2011 9:18 p.m. PST
None of the above. The poll discussion and/or comments have supplanted the discussion boards. If you want to have a discussion about wargaming then the polls are the place to be. No kidding. The discussion boards are like a ghost town compared to what they used to be. The upside is there is less nonsense on the discussion boards. But someone is taking aim at his own foot.
Martin Rapier	07 Oct 2011 4:37 a.m. PST
Are talking about polls or poll proposals here? Actually there is little difference I suppose as I end up posting the same comments on both, if I can even be bothered to look at the final poll anyway. 10. Get my post count up.
pphalen	07 Oct 2011 7:23 a.m. PST
Chance for prizes.
Willtij	07 Oct 2011 8:08 a.m. PST
Just 'cause…and the dream of fabulous prizes!?!
billthecat	07 Oct 2011 11:48 a.m. PST
I'M ANGRRRRRRRRRRY!!!!!!
Lentulus	07 Oct 2011 2:15 p.m. PST
5. And I take particular joy in posting a comment that contradicts my vote.
20thmaine	10 Oct 2011 4:59 p.m. PST
Something to do
stenicplus	11 Oct 2011 5:16 a.m. PST
For the sheer joy of sharing my thoughts with you.
Dasher	11 Oct 2011 2:50 p.m. PST
Because I assume the original poster is actually trying to learn or communicate something worthwhile.
