Poll results
From 29 August 2014 to 24 January 2015, the following five polls ran on Sandra and Woo. All of them received over 2,500 votes and it’s time to present the results.
Poll from 29 August 2014:
PC Master Race reporting in!
Poll from 29 August 2014:
Our readers do not often go to the cinema. Only 6% go to the cinema more than a dozen times per year. I also prefer watching movies on my large TV set now where I don’t have to watch any ads and I can be sure that there’s no one ruining the movie by constantly talking or something like that.
Poll from 29 August 2014:
Interestingly, the result of this poll seems to clash a bit with the result of the previous one. Although many of our readers don’t go to the cinema very often, they still like the experience.
Poll from 3 November 2014:
Now, this bunch of story arcs surely contained some controversial material. Well, the story featuring Butterfly didn’t actually contain offensive material, but generally many comic readers don’t like it when a long story arc is focused on a minor character and the main characters don’t appear at all for several weeks. I’m not surprised that Larisa’s story received the most votes, but I am a little surprised that the Cinderella story arc only received 5% of the votes. I think it was a funny and innovative story.
Poll from 3 November 2014:
The result of this poll is interesting. “Medium rare” received 28% of the votes, “Medium well done” received 15% of the votes, but “Medium” reveived only 14% of the votes. I like my steaks “medium rare” as well if the quality of the meat is really good. But I had to experience that there’s a good chance that they just turn out too raw for my taste if I order them like that, so I usually order them “medium”.
There are now five new polls that appear randomly in the right sidebar:
- Do you generally prefer comedy webcomics or story webcomics?
- Which way do you find most new webcomics that you read (semi-)regularly?
- Did you prefer the American pic or the Russian pic in December’s strip “Propaganda” featuring Larisa?
- Harry Potter should have married […]?
- Which is your favorite type of media?
For polls such as “How do you like your steak?” it is better to give us checkboxes instead of radio buttons, because people often like more than one kind of steak, and forcing us to only choose one leaves the other kinds we like under-represented. I think this would be better for some other polls as well, especially ones that have many options, such as the “What’s your favorite gaming platform?” Just my two cents ^^;
I think your “favorite way to watch movies” poll discrepancy would be explained by people preferring to watch a movie in a theater for the big screen and potential sound quality, but disliking the crowds and obnoxious people in the audience. I personally have not been to a theater in years, but the last several times I have gone I have worn ear-plugs because the sound is usually turned up to obnoxious and frequently -painful- levels!
@ Iron Ed:
Also, watching a movie in the cinema is usually way more expensive than buying a DVD or renting the movie on Netflix. Even more true when watching with family or friends.
Regarding the cinema since cinema is quite pricy in total sum of cost people tend to be pretty picky. They will pick either summer blockbusters hits or preferred viewing (like Marvel Movieverse movies). I know I will watch every Marvel movies on the theater. For DC movies I can wait until they come out on DVD.
Also regarding the new poll, yes, I pick Ron and Hermione. Even Rowling admitted that she prefer that couple better!
In regard to one of the new polls, the Russian pic is definitely better for me. The colors are more lively, both the traditional attire and the cathedral are beautiful, but the flaming samurai sword is probably the best 😀
Huh. After I saw the “PC master race” part, I wondered if it was the same in the German version of the website since that might be a term used by only English speakers and no one wants to distance themselves from the Nazis more than the Germans. So I checked and it seems that polls are only available on the English version of the site.
@new poll: I prefer comedy with story! That’s an AND, I don’t want to miss either! To me, both comedy without story and story without comedy feel dull after a while. So, I do have a preference, a very strong preference, but it’s not in the poll options.
