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 What mechanisms do you envision there to be that result in the "next" feature growing in popularity? I assumed that everyone would start with zero knowledge about what the current highest is due to results being hidden. 🤔
