Poll results: mostly KO, neck or choke a Merc?

[frvge]

On the question of "Will you mostly KO, neck or choke a Merc?" we got the following 78 answers:

Neckbreak (55 votes) was the most popular with 71%.
KO (15 votes) came second with 19%.
Choke (8 votes) was last with 10%.

No big surprise here. But you never know, that's why we have the polls :D.

The next poll is up and asks: "Ping in colored bars or numbers?"

The next poll is up and asks: "Ping in colored bars or numbers?"

Everquest had the best in my opinion.

A Colored bar, scrolling to the left with ping and packet loss on either side. "Now" is on the right and moves left as time passes, like this:
<ping> |------------| < % pkt loss>

<ping> is your average or current ping, < % pkt loss> is the average % packet loss over a time period (last 10 seconds lets say)
|-----------| is the bar, where breaks in the bar show where/when packet loss is occuring.

Assuming it is over the last 10 seconds, a close to perfect connection would be colored green and look like:
75 |--------------| 0%

If you had packet loss for a few seconds, then stable for a few seconds, then more packet loss it would probably be colored red and look like this:

75 |-----   ------   -| 30%


This takes up very little screen realestate (and could be hidden/shown by pressing F11) and is very informative.

The poll system was a bit messed up with the internal counting. Fixed that. No votes were lost.

Colour bar is pretty pointless, voted ping number.
