This week's poll from residentgrigo is about Dungeons & Dragons alignments. Feel free to interpret what "preferred" means in whatever context you like. I actually play 5e once a week, so this poll hits close to home. For the uninitiated, D&D is the first modern role-playing game, helping spawn a new genre of tabletop games and video games. If you want a written definition of what each choice means, read this wiki article. If you want some examples from movies, see this image chart. There's no labels on the axis, but it goes

• Up: Good
• Down: Evil
• Left: Lawful
• Right: Chaotic
• Middle: Neutral

I disagree with some of the movie examples, but it's better than nothing...

If I had to guess, more people prefer longer hair. Pain to wash though...

I wasn't expecting the huge number of comments on last week's poll. Got quite heated actually...

This week's poll comes from our member Homura_Heart. It requires a bit of knowledge of terminology, some of which isn't that common (even in our niche of manga). If you really wanna answer this poll, I suggest you Google each term first. I won't bother trying to explain it all here. And honestly, I'm not expecting that many voters this week.

This week's poll was suggested by Estranger. It was inspired by the Rewrite series, which I know nothing about... The question itself is an interesting one though. I'm currently reading the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson. In the setting of that series, the Lord Ruler remakes both the world (moving the planet closer to the sun) and himself after obtaining great power.

Choices:
Leave in original form - votes: 2094 (31.5%)
Leave in original form and add translation note for conversion to USD, etc - votes: 4200 (63.2%)

The poll ended: December 10th 2016

One suggestion is that if you add a translation note, make the conversion an approximate and also add a date to it, since currency exchange rates fluctuate.

This week's poll about converting money (into gold!) was suggested by our member 8-3.

I'm actually surprised that so many people voted. I expected this to be an unpopular one.

This week's poll is rather unusual, as I would never have come up with it myself, so miskatsura did it for me. I didn't even realize that there's this many options for hair length. The order is from shortest to longest.

Of those who actually would play, they prefer Moon over Sun. I wonder why...

No one suggested this, but hey, the games just came out! The last versions I played was Gold and Fire Red, so I'm really behind in all this... (Still need to finish Fire Emblem: Fates too)
