I know this title raises brows at least, as to what do I mean by polls. I'll explain.

There is a website called Straw Poll, and you can create your own polls for free. I created one, so I can get some help deciding on a name for an OC I'm hoping to work on.

My question is: Would I be allowed to link my poll question in the Small Talk area, or where would it go if I am allowed to link my poll question?

You're allowed to link to other sites! Where the link would go is dependent on the subject of the post you're going to post. If you're looking to discuss character creations (including naming), I'd post it in RP Discussion. Smalltalk is really intended for non-RP/non-character topics.
On a sidenote; some kind of poll function on the site would be pretty cool imo. It would help GMs take decisions relevant to the roleplay they're leading. Same goes for group moderators. It would help them implement changes easier.


Edit: Then again, linking to other poll sites is almost as easy so I guess it's not necessary.

Polls have been suggested often in the past but the default response has always been 'they're too low priority and not really necessary enough to make them high priority'. No idea what the current status is on this though!

While it would be a cool feature for GM's and those who run groups, and maybe even just character profiles, I can agree that it's not vital or even particularly important. Kim probably have her hands full already as it is. She doesn't have to spoil us like that haha

Thank you kindly for the info!

Well if you guys want, you can use Straw Polls for those who want polls as an option for like groups and such. I tried it out and it was so easy, I'd even recommend it! Especially since you do NOT need an account to log in!
