Just a fun offseaason thread.

We all have our own reasons as to why we vote a certain way, so what are they?

Time to own up to the your way of voting here on realgm LOL.

I think we all need the season to start :lol:

Realgm are a lot more analyticool than the media and podcasters that's for sure. A big forum like this that weeds out the worst, makes it hard for sub-intelligent people to thrive, so standards are a lot higher here than on the Gilbert Arenass show etc.
So our polls are more objective than anywhere else, because we research better than anywhere else...

I make sure I'm always completely unbiased in my votes and team rankings. Honesty is the foundation on which moral character is build.

Most of my threads have polls, I like to see what people here think. emphasis on here, realGM, I usaully sick of hearing what interenet thinks lol.

I do not think I am biased at all when it comes to voting, I just click the option i believe is the right answer. Sometimes tho, when I do not like any options, I do not vote and just click to see poll results.

I don’t vote when the question or the answers don't make sense and it's a badly constructed poll.

This one being an example.

Me too i only vote when i'm intelligent enough to decide with a well-educated decision. If i'm not educated enough on the issue i don't vote :usa:

and if the poll includes my favorite players, i don't vote :talkhand:

I usually also do not vote on my own polls, unless it gets tons of votes, otherwise I just want to see how others voted.

Your Avi looks like how would Coop look in new NBA jam :lol:

I agree i care more about other votes than mine, yep i looked for the picture that would make Coop face the most clear and that one had an inflated head, i love his face its really friendly even without smiling yet.

Kudos to you sir, why would you lie? I don't know why, plenty of people lie in this crazy world. As for the pic didn't work on my end, but that's cool what ever, this is just a "fun thread", you opened a thread purely on the purpose about voting, yet you opened it anyway only to gloat that you don't vote and because of op's choice of poll, again kudo's to you, have a good day sir.

Peace out!.

Don't listen to Bloodbather, it's an excellent poll. Could have used a "Multiple of the above" option though.

I confess to being so naive that I didn't anticipate option #2 but thinking it over yeah I can see people casting all kinds of troll votes.

I try to be as unbiased as I can, even tough I obviously like more players than others. But I think I can separate things, even when it comes to guys I like a lot like Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, Stockton I don't think I overrate them. Talking to casuals I might even go as a Iverson hater cause he's ranked way higher than he should. And that's fine, I saw a lot of his games and rewatched for entertaining purpose. It's not all about if player X is better than the other.

I don't know why, but "I don't think, I just vote" made me laugh so I went with it without thinking.

Wait...

I"m biased, which is why I normally don't vote on polls. If it's a poll about personal opinion or a "Who's your favorite" kind of poll, then sure. But if it requires an honest evaluation of a player / team, then I'll normally just sit it out, so my biased reaction doesn't affect the outcome.

When it comes to voting, how do you vote? lols
