Let's talk about The Cool Zone

[vampirate]

where's the "I don't care" option on that poll?

Why is the most negative option presented in a "reasonable" voice, while the most positive option is presented in an unrealistic pollyanna sugar voice?

3 of the four options support your position and the one that doesn't is written in such a way as to feel unreasonable to select.

How do you plan on counteracting selection bias (people are more likely to respond to things they care about, things are more likely to care about things they perceive as problems)?

this poll was posted on the forums; the players who hang on the forums regularly are a very small and distinct set of people compared to the people who hang out on the discord.

that poll has significant problems with its timing, placement, and construction. it's basically useless.

I consulted someone who feels positively about the cool zone for the wording of that other one... didn't word it myself :-/

"Good but it has some problems" isn't something I'd support. I even put the good option first in the list to make sure I wasn't leading people. I tried to be as fair in it as possible. The "I don't care" option, is that a thing that should be in? I can add it.

But if you want, you can go solely by the comments of the players in the thread. I don't find it useless. Perhaps I should have included a "vile den of scum and villainy" option as a counterpoint to perfect, but like... I tried to use positive wording even in the negative option. The idea was to keep the wording constructive.
