We skipped from 408 to 413! Don't think I didn't see that!

Ogor would know better than I would, but I think what happened was that someone manually placed the current poll up, causing it to jump ahead of all the polls still in the poll queue, meaning polls 409 to 412 are still in the poll queue and it'll go back to 409 after the current poll is switched, which IIRC, is after 3 days.

...Given the context of the poll, AND keeping in mind what a tool Tiger is...

What the fuck do you think happened? >_>

This is what happened. The poll was not loaded by the poll queue, as that only happens when I load a page, and of course by the time I did that the poll already had several votes.

Also, this poll is clearly a Tiger poll.

EDIT: Actually, concerning when it will go to 409: the poll queue's counter doesn't care if you replace an old poll with a new one, so this one is just eating into the previous poll's time limit. 409 should be up tomorrow-ish.

Still, poll-jacked!

The number jumped because all polls in the poll queue increment it. So the poll queue now has 409-412, and this was added to the database after those were, so it gets 413. The key is that IDs are assigned based on the order of addition to the database, not display order.

*Sigh*
My message perfectly made it clear.
Tiger is a tool (The T can be replaced with an F as well) who thinks about nothing else, and as he's demonstrated before he thinks that "LOLOMG U NEVAR GIT LAYD BY WIMMINZ OMG LOL" is an insult he thinks is actually effective. So obviously, he's going abuse his mod privledges to jump the poll to one he thinks is "relevant" or "insulting".

Well Tiger may be shallow and conceited but I wouldn't call him a tool - or a fool.

Also, I wanted to point out that there wasn't any jumping involved; the poll queue cycle and the poll he added are displayed by two different mechanisms.

I understood that your message was a commentary on Tiger. What I was saying was that I was talking purely about the mechanics of the poll queue and poll IDs.

...And that has nothing to do with Tiger. >_>

Put another way, I believe you could view it as Ogor and I were answering "Why" the poll ID jumped ahead, while you answered "Who" caused it. They're related, but they aren't quite the same thing.

...Not like this is a big deal though. <_<

*cough*
Anywho... As Ogor said earlier, the time of the poll has rolled over, and now my next one is up, so at least I learned something new about how the system functions.

o_0 k.....

I tried to add to the poll queue but it said I didn't have enough credits. I had no idea wtf that was so I just added it regularly.

The poll was in no way was trying to insult anybody. I was actually surprised by the results. And I've been around online long enough to know insulting anyone is kind of pointless and retarded.

Well Tiger may be shallow and conceited but I wouldn't call him a tool - or a fool.

Thanks. I don't think he knows what a 'tool' is.


I'm soooo high right now, so what I wrote above might not actually make any sense or w/e :D

I was actually surprised by the results.

There was a similar poll like a year ago with basically the same results. Most people past age 20 are virginal for a reason, one unlikely to change within the space of a year.

wtf?

Exactly.
