GLAD TO SEE YOU HAVE PINEAPPLE

Nothingness: http://brainking.com/cz/Board?bc=153&plla=1048074

jalapeno and banana peppers aren't listed and they are a must along with crushed red peppers.

how do i create a poll?

Bwild:

Pedro Martínez: theres also road kill pizza...most are pre shaped!! lol

puupia: I cannot even imagine how that would taste. Reindeer and crowberries are completely unknown to me, chanterelles I haven't had since forever ago and emmentaler is indeed quite unusual to be used as a pizza topping. I guess you can only get something like that In Finland or other Nordic countries, people are crazy enough there to prepare such a pizza…

How about a pizza with smoked reindeer, chanterelles, crowberries and emmenthaler cheese? Not the most usual toppings. I had one like that a while a go and it was awesome!

I don't know if you had fresh Spinish listed on the poll, I've might of over looked it, if I didn't vote for that one.

puupia: Pineapple and bleu cheese together? You're a gourmet! :))

coan.net: I have had corn on my pizza, and it was not bad at all, but carrot… hmmm, I don't know, something just doesn't seem right with that… lol

Pedro Martínez: Yeah, you are right as usual :) I've lived in US a bit and the pizza experience there is completely different from the european one.

I also like blue cheese in my pizza a lot.. Salami, pineapple, japeños and blue cheese pizza and i'm in heaven :)

puupia: I think that when you look at the selection of toppings, it is clear that it is the American pizza what should be considered here. You can hardly get any other salami than pepperoni in the U.S., while here in Europe it is quite common to use quite a variety of salamis. Also the cheeses listed in the poll are rarely used in continental Europe (except for mozzarella, of course). We don't use provolone, cheddar, or Colby (which is actually a cheddar too). Instead, edam is very popular, as well as a number of blue-veined chesses. Then the bacon – the European bacon is not the same as the American one. And so on and so forth. You're right about the chicken, turkey, and I would also add beef. To sum it up, American pizza is simply different from European pizza. And I have different favorite toppings for each of them. :)

Pedro Martínez: Yeah pepperoni is there. But its only a kind of salami, and not really my favorite kind..

And then in the meat section chicken is not listed. In most pizza places in Finland you can get chicken in your pizza easily, but turkey is more uncommon. I guess this might be the case elsewhere also.

Also sausage in the list is something that most europeans don't really know what it is. I'm quite sure coan.net means the american kind of sausage with that one. And that stuff its not really sausage at all :P

Pedro Martínez: I thought carrot's sounded better then corn... but corn has more votes then carrots..

coan.net: Nuts on pizza – that sounds to me almost as awkward as carrot on pizza…

puupia: Jalapenoes was *almost* on the list. I actually spent about an hour doing internet searches on what the most "popular" toppings of pizza were - and like I mentioned, I probable had over 100 toppings at first... but tried to take off those that seemed a little less popular (leaving Almonds and Pecans on the list because I've never seen nuts on a pizza and thought it might be interesting if either of those got votes.)

But since I have to type in each answer - submit - then as more answers are added scroll down to add another answer, I tried to keep the list as short as possible while still trying to get the most popular.

So speaking on nuts on pizza - anyone ever see that and or try that? I'm not too big of a nut eater but for some reason it sounds like it might be kind of good on a pizza

puupia: Oh yes, jalapeños, I knew I was missing something essential there…

But salami is there, isn't it? As pepperoni. :)

coan.net: Some quite obvious choices are missing. Salami, tuna, fresh garlic and my favourite jalapenos.. And of course i understand that listing all possibilities is quite impossible :)

Ownercase: But they have finpits!

fish dont have armpits....

rod03801: Mine still shows 24 of 25 (which is what it said before this poll was created) so apparently the new poll has not been added to my stat yet.

Also maybe wait another day or so, but I would like to know if people like having the polls be "public" where others can see their answers (and that it does still look OK on the poll page... and not make it hard to read and/or not hard to vote.) [again, will be interesting to see after 100 or 200 people vote and are all listed there.]

Snoopy: Funny.. mine says the same thing.

coan.net: 25 really it only takes me to 23
guess i missed some when i had showing polls on my main page turned off and you didnt post them here

coan.net: hold the anchovies!!! they taste like fish armpits!!

Well we finally got our 25th Public Poll (which can give many of us our achievement for answering all 25 polls)

I know I do not have all the option for toppings listed on this poll. I tried to list what I think are many of the top options, along with a few other options... BUT I KNOW I DID NOT LIST THEM ALL. (the poll would have hundreds of options if I did.)

So PLEASE feel free to list & discuss your favorite toppings here.

Also to have some fun (and to see how it will look), the poll is "public" which means everyone can see what others voted for.

Nothingness: If you are the Big Boss of a fellowship, you can create a poll inside your fellowship. (I believe Little Bosses might be able to, as well) Only Fencer, Tanein and Coan.net can create site-wide polls.

how can you create a poll? Is everyone eligible to create a poll?

Pedro Martínez: Having them on fellowship polls with 20-30 people some-what works, but I was afraid that once we got 300+ names listed on the poll, it might distort the page a lot and make it hard to read and/or vote for those who hadn't voted yet.

I'm tempted to try it to see what will happen..... maybe I will try it with the next poll and if it does start to mess things up, I'm sure I can get Fencer to switch the option off on it.

coan.net: Why is it anonymous?

There is a new opinion poll to see if our BrainKing users can predict who will win the 2010 World Cup!

gotcha

Bwild: Site Polls? or fellowship polls? Fellowship polls are pretty easy, if you are big/little boss. Otherwise, I believe Site polls are only created by Fencer, Tanein, or Coan.net

how are polls started?

Snoopy: Actually I did mean to come here and post about it - along with the (always) suggestion for other poll ideas to post them in here..... but I must have forgotten to.

Hopefully I will remember the World Cup which starts in June more in advance to give the poll a little longer time-frame out on this site.

... but of course I would like to have some more non-sport ideas if possible.

The current poll I put up for only about 2 weeks... and the poll actions ended after some of the games will be complete (would make more sense to end the poll before any games are complete.... but I did want to give a little extra time for the poll to be up.)

rod03801: cheers didnt know i had to click a box..lol

ha right now i know why i turned it off in the first place has you get fellowship polls to that dont interest you

Snoopy: Perhaps you have "ignored" his polls? All new polls (unless you have them shut off) appear at the top of your "Main Page", when they are created.

why wasnt this poll advertised on this board

http://brainking.com/en/OpinionPoll?poid=674


if i had missed it i would of been really p---d off

its taken nearly 5 months since i last made a comment about how slow these polls are

i expect then to get this achievement in the year 2020 if im lucky

in fact i will consider i already have this achievement along with the interviews one has they ground to a halt to and the mod on that board wont say why

MadMonkey: i second that

How about a browser Poll ?

Just interested to see who uses what on BrainKing

am i thinking that you dont like my idea then


this is turning into a really hard achievement to get..lol
http://brainking.com/en/Achievements?p=1&aid=24

spot

Snoopy: I go with Doodlez

coan.net: how about a poll to name our dragon
we could nominate some names first before you set the poll

i go with Spyro

Snoopy: Yea - That is who I thought would get it.

... in the back of my mind, I would have loved for Chicago to get it... since it would be about 3-4 hours away from me, and my son would be about 14/15 at that time and might be a fun thing to go see.... but on the flip side, Illinois is so screwed up financially that they don't need to be spending money on this anyway.

Glad it will be in South America for the first time.

coan.net: Rio gets it

OK, I did quickly throw one out there - BUT VOTE QUICKLY - it will only be open for a few days!!!!!!!!

http://brainking.com/en/OpinionPoll?poid=632 - Which city do you think will be picked on October 2nd to host the 2016 Olympics?

Snoopy: Any ideas for good public polls - PLEASE POST THEM.

Best if it has something to do with BrainKing, but does not necessarily need to be about that.

I have an idea for one.... I will try to get one posted in the next few days (of course if anyone has some good ideas - PLEASE feel free to post them here... or send me a private message if you want.)

get this achievement but need another 6 polls
