The danger with repolling is lower engagement/participation. I think it’s slightly flawed that a poll with fewer votes can completely nullify a poll result that had more people engage in it.
While, yes, that’s up to people actually heading to the poll booths, I think it is your job to advertise the fact that something is being repolled (once again).
That’s where I think things could have gone better as you didn’t only post a picture of the poll failing at the time (someone paying attention would quickly point out that the poll didn’t have a lot of total votes at the time, but this was still completely unnecessary and I haven’t seen you do this before). You also posted and opened this on Thanksgiving, a popular holiday. And you closed it on a Wednesday, before the Q&A. Usually you briefly mention polls in the Q&A to remind people to vote (which again, is crucial for REPOLLS).
What I’m saying...
We hear you. Internal discussion and mixed ideas on how to poll the spellbook rework resulted in the first poll not being exactly what we would have liked. The second was not worded clearly, resulting in non-representative results, hence a third poll. It was never intended to get a certain result, which many here seem to suspect - regardless of our personal opinions, we want the game to reflect the overall playerbases' wishes. In terms of the re-poll getting enough visibility, I agree that it's essential this happens so that a minority vote overpowers a previous majority vote.
