Default Must all Polls Have a Useful Point?

Or can you have a poll just to have a poll?

Well, my vote is a pretty safe bet.

People like polls. Voters always way outnumber posters in polls, so it seems something about them attracts people to come on in and click on something, even if they don't post.

Silly polls (and threads for that matter) appeal to some people, and not to others - which is really no different than other topics really - some people want to read about certain settings and others don't. If you don't like them ignore them and move on to topics that interest you.

I find them (silly/light hearted threads and polls) entertaining, and think some others do too. And in the end, being entertained is why I got into gaming in the first place.

And seriously, there ain't that much to talk about until we have more on the game. Covers been done. Schedules been done.

Trollkin Pie

Start with 1/2 dz trollkin.
Gut and debone saving heart,lungs, and liver, then chop coarsely.
Reserve intestines for fried lip smackers (cf).
Brown trollkin parts in hot grease. Cool.
Prepare dough, roll out and line 30 liter pan with it.
Mix trollkin with a dz ostrich eggs, and slug cheese. Season with herbs, ground Aldryami are recommended.
Transfer to pie shell, cover, bake.

Serves 6

Oh no! I never got to play RQ enough for that. The recipe was done on the fly as it were. Hmmm... does that bring me afoul of anyones IP as it was derivitive or am I covered under parody or humor exemptions?
