Villager, it's not a problem. If you have a problem, say it. Better yet, read through and then say it if nobody else has, but you don't have to do that. It's not hidden, it's plainly obvious if you look at the pages that some people disagree. Besides, tell me this, why the fuck do you need to know how many people disagree? You can apply that to how many people agree as well, but voting yes doesn't harm anything, allowing people to vote no without saying why does, because it means people think it's okay to just say it's a bad role without offering pointers and thus just killing it off. Nothing is hidden or buried, it just takes a bit of time to look for the disagreement. But you don't even need to fucking do that, knowing how many people do or don't like it means nothing, even if the Devs see it, they shouldn't give a damn about how many people do or don't like it, if they like it they should add it. Unless the yes or no votes are a majority of the entire community, it doesn't matter. So if anything, I say we remove the poll in general, since it's not doing anything. But just having yes and no no doesn't hurt, and you're making it out to be some problem it's not.
(Really?? Last time I checked, I thought you could put 1 option on the poll.....weird)
Anyways, I don't have a problem with people voting yes.
I have a problem with the fact that people who inadvertently vote yes cannot change their votes to express their true opinions. It stays as a "yes" forever.
You are literally taking advantage of people's ignorance for self-gain. That is where the issue lyes.
Unfortunately, the game developers have had an untrusted reputation, and have been known to make bad decisions with their game. And it is because of this reputation that I wouldn't believe for a second that they would bother to read what most of the pages and pages of forum users have to say in regards to the opposition about something like this "Jester Replacement". And it's ultimately because of this reason as to why I have an issue with the way these "petitions" are setup. The game developers are certainly going to only look at the surface level of something like this thread, and go from there.
And if all they see are these "Yes" votes without any
clear oppositions (AKA, "No" votes), then how could we expect the developers to ever dig deeper than they usually do?

I have never said anything remotely close to what you are trying to paraphrase out of me. No, I am not saying "all" of the people are voting incorrectly. I have an issue with the fact that you're on a forum where there's supposed to be polls, and not petitions. If you want a petition, go to a petition website and gain supporters there to show to the Devs. Because the way you are going about this "petition" is fooling people who typically expect Yes and No in a game forum
poll.

Well then maybe someone should do something about that.
===================
None the less, I have suggested this before and I'll say it for the whateverth time.
I like the role idea. It's a neat role and could be something interesting to play as.
But in no way do I believe it's okay to replace the current Jester with. If you want to know why, refer to page 16, 4th to last response at the bottom.
