    This poll is entirely one sided. There's nothing "awesome" about that.

    It is if you're on the one side.

    Not when you consider what a poll is supposed to be for. A one sided poll means nothing and as such can't be used to make any kind of argument in your favor.

    Or wait until they don't. ;) It could potentially go either way, assuming its even on the table at all.

    I'm genuinely curious - are you speaking from personal experience of having splatted one with a mallet or something similar? It does look like an awfully big splat for one little chicken, but I don't really want to Google something like that to find out!

    Half gallon of blood in a chicken.

    Half gallon of blood and three packs of M80's (light estimate) in an SotA chicken. :p

    EDIT: I used to be a farmhand. I've never killed anything, but I learned a lot about animals & gardening while growing up in that environment.

    There's no telling where it could go, true...

    but it is on the table, as LB informed me via PM with his personal endorsement of our document.

    Hopefully they make it happen in some form or another.

    Having a Blood & Gore filter would enhance it for all parties, I think.

    Half as much as a human? I never knew chickens were so sloshy!


    Ah, fair enough - my experience of chickens is mainly limited to eating them, long after someone else did the messy stuff. :)

    That's partly thing. Lot of times people don't ask for options. I'm usually left with the impression it's all in or nothing and all in is almost always excessive. Oh well, so long as there's optional settings and default isn't over the top I suppose I wouldn't have anything to complain about.

    I still think that's a bleedin' big chicken though. :)

    It isn't one sided lol. The fact that there is blood in the game every time you slice someone doesn't make it one sided. I made this poll just to see the amount of blood people like in the game. BECAUSE THERE ALREADY IS! Have you played any of the combat?

    How is the pole NOT one sided? It's just blood, blood & gore etc. If your intention is to gauge how much people want the options should be more like.. "less blood" "it's fine how it is" "more blood" etc..

    Because they aren't going to lower it because of a couple sissies that don't want blood in a game that already has. AGAIN.... I made the poll to see how much blood people want in the game at the same time leaving out none because there already is blood in the game every time you slice someone with a sword and whatnot. With a badass last name as Bloodgood I would figure you are for blood but I guess not

    You apparently haven't read all of my posts in this thread. What they are or are not going to do has no bearing on your poll choices.

    What I DON'T want is over the top, gratuitous amounts for the hell of it. Where as the position you're taking with your poll and comments like "Good" in response to "borderline gratuitous" is only screaming more! more! Granted that may be reading between the lines a bit but in arguing against gratuitous levels of blood & gore you're implying I'm for no blood at all (despite earlier comments in this thread to the contrary) and accusing people of being sissies. What exactly are we supposed to think except that you want it over the top and to hell what anyone else thinks?

    Again.. if your intent is to see how much people want.. then you should've included more, less and same options. You didn't. So it just reads like more, more and more.
