Poll System Improvements Road Test
-
Total Votes: 67,846
Introduction
This is a Road Test for the updated Poll System, allowing us to check it out in the live game's technical environment for the first time.
It's a soft launch, so at first only staff will be eligible to vote. We'll open it to players once live testing is complete.
As this is a Road Test of the new tech, we're ensuring that none of these questions will impact game updates, in case players aren't able to vote fairly. To help make this clear, the questions are extremely off-topic.
Single-choice Questions
Although these questions look like the Yes/No poll questions that lock-in updates, this is a Road Test of the new system, so the questions are off-topic and outcomes will not affect game updates.
If you had a cup of hot Earl Grey tea, would you like milk with it?
Along with providing narrative text like this, the new system can serve some images within the menu rather than having to open them in your browser:
Would you like nicer weather in your district?
The next question will help test the system's level requirement checks.
In Old School RuneScape, level 30 Mining allows you to mine coal. As a suitably experienced miner, would you like to visit a coal mine in real life?
Multiple-choice Questions
The new Poll System allows us to cap how many responses a player can select from a multiple-choice question, along with randomising the order of the options to reduce bias.
Select up to 5 cheeses that you would be willing to eat. If you would be willing to eat more than 5 from the list, prioritise your favourites.
Cultural awareness:
New Types of Question
The new system can handle ranked-choice questions. We hope this will help the results to better reflect the community's overall preferences, when we ask you to choose your favourite options from lists in future.
In the meantime, you can help us road test the system by offering your thoughts on these off-topic questions:
In what order should these Star Wars films be watched, if one were obliged to watch them all?

Although this particular illustration isn't especially helpful, the new system can embed infographics and other useful illustrations of the content we're polling.
This includes embedding a clickable thumbnail, like this one of Bryophyta, that lets you pop out a larger image.
Please put this list of pizza toppings in order, with your favourite ones first. Pineapple and anchovies must be in the first and last positions, respectively, because some truths are universally acknowledged.

If you could have any display name for your RuneScape character, what would it be?
