Title: Everybody vote on my Question in the Everybody Votes Channel
Post by: Kairon on March 24, 2008, 05:07:48 AM
Hey, around the end of last year and a little into January, I prepared an entire list of questions to send to the everybody votes channel. I had enough questions for about 3 continuous weeks of submissions... and it's paying off.
I would like to invite everyone to open up their Everybody Vote channels on their Wiis and vote on TWO of the questions that I recognize as my own submissions:
Which do you prefer? Cake or Pie
Which is cooler? Pirates or Ninjas
I may have submitted some other ones, like the snow/rain question, I just can't remember... but this just goes to show that Nintendo is actually listening to me! Yay!

I voted for pie and ninjas and predicted the same.

Nintendo is listening to Kairon's suggestions? That can't be good.

I didn't vote on cake versus pie because they're both lame.
Also ninja all the way.

I voted Cake over pie and predicted the same, I voted Pirates over Ninjas but Predicted the opposite. This is the firs time since the channel existed I have voted, coincidence too cuz I just re downloaded it yesterday and voted in those exact polls then came here and saw this post.

I recently thought of something similar, only it was: "When you pee in the shower, do you... 1: aim for the drain, 2: piss any ol' where"

I submitted only 1 question so far, it was the same day this thing launched, I forgot what it was. Then I deleted this channel to make room for more VC games and then found a better way to organize my channels so re-downloaded it again just yesterday. I submitted a new question but already forgot what it was. It's been a long week....

The very first question I suggested, the day I downloaded the channel, was "Do you believe in Ghosts?" When they used that question however, I wasn't sure if it was mine or if they had planned it from the beginning.

Did they capitalize the g also?

My younger brother makes fun of me for capitalizing every other word in a sentence, as if I think it will add emphasis

They probably correct people's grammar when they choose what questions to accept and what questions to throw away.
Ya I'm sure. Damn English.

Ugh. The results of that ghost question sent my respect for humanity peeing down the shower drain.
I refuse to choose between cake and pie. There's no "or" in between cake and pie. There's only an "and" there. If I see cake and pie, I don't panic or fret because I have to choose. I say, "Yay! I'm having both cake AND pie! I'm so proud to be an American!"

Out of curiosity, what were the results of the Ghost poll?

So it was you who did the Cake or Pie question. Because of you I had the longest debate with myself ever for a question from the Everybody Votes Channel. I chose the pie.

I voted for cake even though I don't like either one that much.

My Wife and I voted in each of Kairon's questions today and we voted opposite on each. I said Ninja and Pie so, what did my Wife say?

Your average cake has awful, sickeningly sweet icing, and your average pie is delicious. Also, saying "yaaar" and "me matey" > not saying anything.

I'm sure the pirates/ninjas one has been submitted by many people, but probably not the cake/pie one. Congrats.

Why not? It all goes to the same place.
I hear that, I used to work for a Waste Water Treatment Plan before, you don't wanna know how unclean your drinking water really is.

I thought for sure this was a joke thread, but judging from your responses, you all think the sole reason we have been presented with the Pirates vs. Ninja debate is due to Kairon. :-\

I don't believe that, but it's so easy to make Kairon cry that I'm almost tired of doing it, so I didn't feel like tearing down his pitiful dreams this time.

That's actually a good one.
I think that the trick is that they prefer questions that have answers that aren't yes or no. It makes it more interesting than a simple up or down vote. Hmmm....
Title: Re: Everybody vote on my Question in the Everybody Votes Channel
Post by: ReverendNoahWhateley on March 26, 2008, 06:25:54 AM
I think it's so obvious that the answer is yes, why bother asking it?

Here in Canada, cake and ninjas won the majority of votes. I voted for pie and ninjas. I think that cake won in Canada because of the famous cheesecake, but I bet pie will win in the US.

duh, cuz of Apple Pie being an American staple. Also lots of others but Apple Pie is like historical an all that.

Since we don't have a Everybody Votes Channel thread, I'm hijacking this one. ;)
Anyone still keep up with this channel? Thus far, I've managed to vote in every single poll since the channel launched. ;D
Unfortunately, since I'm about to send my system in for repairs (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=25054.0), it seems my perfect voting streak is about to end.
I have 477 "tuned in" points and all fields are maxed out except for knowledge (which is just a hair under).
I'm 28 cm from the Popular Opinion.
Can anyone here beat that? (Does anyone even want to?) :P

i remember i used to be hooked to that channel. My friends and I would always vote and it would be a nice little thing. Than i went to college and dorm didn't like wii going online so i deleted the channel. the addiction died. it just seems so pointless.

Ah, so it was Kairon who is responsible for the flood of frivolous questions. I want to see some serious polls about real concerns like the elections and global warming, instead of these questions about cake and pie. :P

Recently (as in last week) there was a poll about how well you know the presidential candidates. I almost cried when the results showed that less than 50% of Wii owners (who voted) are "familiar with their positions".

You shouldn't conclude like so just because the "Everbody Votes Channel" says so. There is one decisive factor to reach a better conclusion when it comes to know who voted, how old were they.

I got back my Wii today. Since I'm borderline OCD, the first thing I did was install the Everybody Votes channel and check to see what polls I missed. There aren't any polls that show up that I didn't vote in. This means one of two things. Either I timed it right so I didn't miss anything, or the EVC doesn't show you the results of polls you didn't vote in.
I need someone who's been keeping up with the voting to tell me if I'm missing anything in my poll history. This is what I currently see:
Recent Results:
National Poll Results: How many books have you read in the past year?
Worldwide Poll Results: Have you ever been swimming in the ocean?
Poll History:
Do you prefer to take notes ...
Which application would be more useful on a cell phone?
How do your friends address you?

the EVC doesn't show you the results of polls you didn't vote in.
I don't know exactly what you've missed, but I've abstained from certain polls in the past and know for a fact that's what happens.

Bah, that sucks. I had to send my system in for repairs, so I was without a Wii for a couple of weeks. I guess I'll see what I missed. :(

Is anyone else having problems connecting to the Everybody Votes Channel? (Does anyone else even have it installed anymore?)
I haven't been able to connect to it in almost a week. I can connect via other channels (e.g. Shop, Nintendo Channel, play games online, etc.) but I can't connect to the damn Everybody Votes Channel. I receive error code 109106 (http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/wii/en_na/errors/results.jsp?error_code=109106&system=Wii&locale=en_US&action2.x=13&action2.y=11) but the help they offer doesn't work (nor does it really make sense since I can connect via other channels).
I contacted Nintendo just now and the rep told me that he thought he remembered someone telling him that they were having problems with this channel, but he wasn't positive. So am I the only one who can't connect or are there other voting junkies out there in need of a fix?
