Hi!
Darius, you have to add the percentages of the two options that wanted
change. They add to 74% which clearly surpasses the 2/3 majority. Once a
want for change is established, then the alternative with more votes is
it.
One must remember that majority does not stem from the votes on just ONE
alternative. Alternatives are grouped into categories. For examples most
polls are between "change" and "no change". The "no change" is usually
one alternative, but the "change" are usually several. For purposes of
interpretation the multiple alternatives under "change" out-weigh that
of the "no change" alternative. Once it is determined that change is
wanted then the alternative with more votes in the "change" alternatives
is the victor.
Jyrki interpretations were pretty standard and would be the same I would
have done for those alternatives.

I disagree with your decision for the first poll to
change the terminators. 2/3 is the cut-off and this
was not met. People want to change their saves but
there is no 2/3 consensus on any of the choices and
there is a big difference between a 4+ and 5+ save
whether it is modified or not. Terminators usually die
from bolter fire and not lascannon fire.
Why don't you have a poll to see which upgrade is
preferred but this would also end up in a 50/50 draw
making the upgrade point meaningless. 2/3 is 2/3. I
wanted he Space Marine bike company too but hey we
couldn't get the 2/3 majority and this was much closer
than the terminator poll. Just my thoughts.
