> [@Ravenman](#): > > I just untied 1 and 2. Dammit, I thought 3 would be the most popular. And I tied them back up again. And I agree that if we had all actually noticed who the OP was before we voted/ read the thread, choice 3 would have won by a landslide! ---

It’s amazingly close, 31-34-29. ---

Yay! I picked the option with the fewest votes (#3) which brings it to 33-38-32. ---

I’m finding it quite interesting. I hope more people post why they chose the option they chose (I realize it’s random, but you have to have some basis to pick one over the other or you’d never vote!) ---

Since the poll said WITHOUT PEEKING, I didn’t even read the OP, so I didn’t even know what we were trying to do. I suspect that if I had, I would’ve chosen something differently than what I did (B). ---

I chose B, because I am more the second option type, although since the OP is Opal, the third choice on the list tempted me. Unfortunately, my choice pushed us a little further away from a tie. ---

It’s interesting that for most of the time, two options have been either tied or close, with a third not as close. But I haven’t yet seen it where all three were out of whack. So we’re doing pretty well! PS: I was originally going to only have 2 options, but then I realized being me I couldn’t NOT have the third one. I’d never hear the end of it if I left it off. ---

Well I brought #3 into a tie for second. Current score 33 - 41 - 33. ---

Being the originator of the original tie poll, figured I had to vote here. Wish the results there were more like the results here. ---
