rock paper scissors, except your choice will be pit against the most popular choice. which do you choose?
@trwnh It's wild because you don't know how many steps of thought people put into it just from the result that got voted.
@mauve i think it's unlikely (or degenerate) to consider thinking more than 3 steps ahead so i guess if you take modulo 3? that's 0/1/2/3 steps ahead. assuming step 0 is "i think this will be the most popular if you disregard the requirements"
@mauve also i will say that i have seen the popular answer shift considerably in the time the poll has been active. i think the longer you run the poll and the more people see the poll. you might end up with a sort of differential equations situation where the equlibrium slowly cycles to the "next" option
@trwnh Neat. Would be cool if there was a poll type that doesn't show results until the poll ends.
@mauve yeah, but it's only zero-knowledge as long as people don't share or communicate the intermediate results. this is why the length of the poll matters
