SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) OK, I know that some (or perhaps most) of you may think that the vote channel thing is lame but my kids are really into it and my wife even gets involved, which is a rare thing when it comes to video games. I have been at it from the beginning and I don't think I have missed any but a few may have fell through the cracks. Anyway, if you do participate in the voting, I thought it would be neat to share your Voting Data. I know that many people are at work or whatever when they read this but next time you turn your Wii on, let us know. I'll start..... RECORD AS OF 2/26/08 Vote Count: 162 Prediction Record - Wins: 122 - Losses: 35 Prediction Accuracy: 77.7% How Tuned In Are You?: 461 Points Distance From Popular Opinion: 3.3m You can copy and paste my format or just come up with your own, I'm just curious to see how I stand against some of you. Have fun! Edited March 5, 2008 by SpendTooMuchOnAtari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) Wow, no Wii voters? If anyone knows or finds out how many total polls have been taken since the Wii launch, let me know. I am curious if I have missed any. RECORD AS OF 2/29/08 Vote Count: 163 Prediction Record - Wins: 122 - Losses: 36 Prediction Accuracy: 77.2% How Tuned In Are You?: 443 Points Distance From Popular Opinion: 4.6m One loss sure does change "how tuned in I am" and my "distance from popular opinion".

Tempest Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I accidentlly clicked on that channel once and voted in a few things, but I never went back to look. the whole thing seemed pointless to me. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Gotta agree, I hope no one spent any time on developing that channel. I can think of dozens other ways Nintendo could have spent that time and money. Sorry. I think my data would look like this. RECORD AS OF 2/29/08 Vote Count: 3 Prediction Record - Wins: 3 - Losses: 0 Prediction Accuracy 100% How Tuned In Are You?: Not at all Distance From Popular Opinion: As far away as possible.

Tempest It is indeed completely pointless. The kids like it and got me into it, I don't think I would like it if I didn't have anyone else in the house to compare all of my stats with. It's become a sort of family tradition in the last 15 months of owning the Wii, whoever sees that there is a new poll calls everyone in to vote quick..... we aren't the most exciting family so it doesn't take much.

BydoEmpire Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I used it the first week or so it came out, but haven't checked in many moons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 (edited) The current Worldwide Poll question is: Have you ever seen a UFO? That's quite vague in my opinion, do they mean UFO in terms of what comes to most people's minds automatically, ALIENS! Or, if taken literally, a flying object that you can not identify 100%? I see why most think this channel is a waste. Either way, I vote NO since I have never personally seen any flying object that I could not identify. However, there were those "lights over Phoenix" a while ago that even though I live here, I don't know much about. I believe the powers that be made a statement about them but IDK. I'm rambling again! RECORD AS OF 3/03/08 Vote Count: 165 Prediction Record - Wins: 123 - Losses: 37 Prediction Accuracy: 76.8% How Tuned In Are You?: 443 Points Distance From Popular Opinion: 5.2m Edited March 5, 2008 by SpendTooMuchOnAtari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now I just vote how I want to and don't usually make many predictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockman_x_2002 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Vote Count: 91 Prediction Record - Wins: 65 - Losses: 22 Prediction Accuracy: 74.7% How Tuned In Are You? 367 pts. Estimated breakdown per category (from the diagram): Personality: 100 pts. Thoughts: 100 pts. Experience: 77 pts. Surroundings: 47 pts. Knowledge: 43 pts. Distance from Popular Opinion: 3.4km --------------------------------------------------------- For the record, yes... the voting channel is pointless. But so are a lot of other neat ideas. Besides, it doesn't take too much to entertain me, and it only takes about five minutes to run through the polls anyhow. And too, for the "How Tuned In Are You?" section... any idea how they rate questions per category? I mean, does someone actually sit down and figure out "this is a knowledge question" or whatever? Or does a computer just randomly assign points to certain questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I thought it was ok but it is severely limited in that they only give you two choices to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Now if they had the Nobody Cares channel, I'd be all over that. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
