MarioWiki Poll Discussion

3DS, Wii, Wii U, Switch, and I think at one point someone else's Game Boy Advance.
 
I've played Mario games on everything listed except an OG Game Boy/Game Boy Color. I do own some games for the system and have played several but that's the only hardware here I don't own.

"Time for a new day, but as we always say, neatness counts."
"That's right Mario, and by the way, you have a little piece of spaghetti on your overalls."

Hey there, this is the Shadow Prince, a member of the previous committee to give analysis on these two weeks' poll. This is certainly an interesting poll as whether you've preferred live action or animated Mario depends on what feel is more your cup of tea. Where of course the former means you're probably more likely to give a positive choice on this poll.
This has a thought-provoking list of options, such as even if you want more live-action emphasis whether you want it to be through mascot suits or actors. I always like when things are specific so those being two additional branches is a nice touch.

The Mario franchise has had live-action elements before (i.e. The 1993 film, The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!). Would you like to see more live-action content?
  • I enjoy live-action Mario content and would like to see more content of this nature.
  • Yes, although I would like to see more content with mascot suits, similar to the ones used in advertisement and web original shorts.
  • Yes, though I would prefer using actors in costumes, in the same vein as Lou Albano or Bob Hoskins.
  • I am fine with live-action content, though it feel as if it should not have priority among Mario content.
  • I feel as though that live-action content should be relegated to simple and minor forms, such as commercials or web original shorts.
  • I have no desire to see more live action content.
  • I have no opinion.

Option 3 for me I guess but I've felt more strongly about other polls; seeing how much they're able to make people in costumes seem like Mario and Luigi slightly interests me.

Hello, me again. I understand you were indeed a member of a previous poll committee, however, I feel as though that does not give you permission to post polls. FWD or another well-versed member of the current committee may correct me on this, but this ties back into what I said to you earlier: do not do a job that is not yours. Thank you.
 
Alright, let me step in for just a moment

It is true that majority of the time, you can expect the PC Chair or another member to post the poll in the thread. However, there's no explicit rule stating that it's just PC Chairperson/members that can post the polls. Obviously there's a sense of a courtesy period to let them mention it here, but I imagine that after four days of a new poll that courtesy period is fairly resolved

What I'm saying is that there isn't a need to target him for posting the poll when there wasn't an indication that somebody else was going to. He could have reached out to someone else, true, but he opted to post it instead, which honestly isn't that big of a deal in this situation

If you and the PC decide you want it to just be PC members who are able to post the polls in thread, that's fine, but let's have that be a rule that is firmly established so the precedent is there. As it stands, there's no actual permission needed in the act
