Hello and Welcome to Your Source for Poll Whoring News and other Oddities.

Jagged1, otherwise known as Rin, and I, Manda, came up with this idea after randomly joking around in a Charity forum. We liked the way it provided entertainment and something to do, that we now have this thread.

But before we provide you with the news, there are a few things you should know!

This is all just a joke. Do not take what we say seriously because if you do, you will look like an idiot.

Do not post anything. The only people that get to post are Rin, Me, and qualified people that have to run an update by us through PM FIRST, and if approved, they will post. That is all.
NOTICE: If you post without running an update by us, or if you post spam, We will have your post deleted.

Be on the look-out for an announcement. We might want a smart, literate roleplayer to pose as an interviewee or a researcher. Stay tuned for more, because the story has just begun!

Thank you, and enjoy reading the news. xd

In recent news Poll AIDS has claimed more victims today. All guilds promoting "poll whoring" are being disbanded as we speak. The only ones left "poll whoring" are the resilient. Or the just plain stupid.
In other news, the cure for Poll Gonorrhea has just arrived! Get your shot today! Or suffer the burning pixelation in your loins.
Santora here. It's now time for your daily news at 1:30.

In recent Poll Medicinal Studies, researchers have discovered that the newly produced Poll Syphilis cure is a fluke! Those that have been given the supposed curing shot have not seen results in the past month. Scientists say it was a possible mix-up with a vaccination for the Poll Measles, but they're still not certain what it was.
This discovery has caused an uproar amongst those Poll Whores who've relied on polls all their life. Many Poll Whores have broken out into a riot outside many Poll Doctor facilities.
One Poll Whore states
Quote:
I can't believe this! I spent 10K of polling gold for the cure and I got nothing! What are these Poll Doctors thinking?!

We at Gaia News have just received word that Poll Doctors everywhere are at a loss as to what has happened to the supposed Poll Syphilis cure. According to prominate figures in Poll Disease Research, the remedy to Poll Syphilis was indeed developed. However, all the known samples have gone mysteriously missing. The classic rumour among the fatalistic is that divine powers have intervened and plucked the cure from the scientists, causing damnation for Poll Whores everywhere. Other, more plausible, theories include researchers have never developed the cure and are only creating hype to publicize their facilities or they may be even holding out on the Poll Whores in order to turn a profit. Statements have not yet been released by officials.
THIS JUST IN!

Harmless polls that don't have a Poll Whore Option have recently had Poll Chlamydia and Poll Herpes breakouts! Innocent Poll Takers are being affected by the widespread Poll Whoring and Poll diseases, and many are hoping for Poll Condoms to come back into production.
A Poll Taker states
Quote:
I never thought the Poll Condoms were unnecessary. But when so many people believed that everything would be okay without them, well, They scrapped all the Poll Condoms and went out of business. And now, a year later, we're all being affected by terrible diseases. It's maddening!


More on this story as it develops.

Another report states that the market will be ripe for Safe Polling products. One developer is currently being interviewed on these products. We bring you live coverage.

~At PollCorp~

Developer: Because of the drastic increase in Poll Disease we feel that there is more room in the economy to support the once known as "unnecessary" Safe Polling products. Of course everyone will be attempting to revive the Poll Condom industry, but we at PollCorp believe other products will be needed in time.
Reporter: What other sort of products does your company intend to produce?
Well, we are currently assessing the need for Poll Control.
Poll Control? Can you elaborate on that for our viewers?
Certainly. Poll Control will work as a control on the amount of how many people become infected by the infamous Poll Whore urge. If further products become necessary, PollCorp will be right there developing and testing them for the masses.
How do you plan on testing these products? By using the Poll Takers and Poll Whores themselves?
Of course. But it will be a controlled test using only those who volunteer for the research. They will also be recompensated should anything happen. But we at PollCorp take great care of the people and will go through any measures to prevent anything from happening to the testers.
I see. Well I will keep you no longer from your research. This is Gaia News, bringing the people the news they want.
The people have hope!

Many Poll Whores and Poll Takers are supporting the Safe Polling products Act! So far, Facilities supporting this Act have received several PM Thank You Cards and Donations for the research, as well as religious support, which scientists were shocked after many Religious Poll Takers had rioted against Poll Condoms last year.

The voice of the people is heard loud and clear across the Gaian nation. The sheer volume of support is mind boggling. Here are clips from various sites around the site.

Quote:
Developer: It was indeed a shock that so many would come and help our cause.


Quote:
Poll Whore: We were ignorant! Now we Poll Whores see the light.


Quote:
Volunteer: I'm just a Poll Taker, but since no one is safe, I've decided to help out with the research.
Oh my! The news team has just got word from a very important Poll Taker.

We now show you the message this Poll Taker has sent us:
Quote:
I am just an innocent Poll Taker. Last year, when Poll Condoms arrived, I bought a couple boxes of them. When society even allowed these Poll Condoms to be produced, I got paranoid. I've been paranoid since. Right before Poll Condoms were recalled, I bought as many as I could, and they've come in great use after realizing the recent events. I'm honored to say that the Poll Condoms have certainly made me feel safe and kept me Poll Disease free!

Please share this with the community. I urge any Poll Taker and Poll Whore to support the Safe Poll products act and to volunteer now! You don't know what kind of safe and secure feeling you're missing out on!

Thank you.

Jagged: I'm on scene with some other Pollers. Excuse me, but can you tell me and the rest of Gaia what you think about the message that Poll Taker left us?
Poll Whore: I'll admit, I used to be one of the ones who never thought it could happen to them. Now my eyes are open. I fully support this act. And I hope they come up with more cures... sweatdrop
Poll Taker: I agree that Poll Condoms are very valuable and only wished I had stocked up like that other Taker had. I didn't think too much of it; I only poll occasionally.
Jagged: Thank you both very much for comments. Back to the studio.
We are glad to introduce you now, to one of the developers of last year's Poll Condoms.

Sir, please tell us about these Poll Condoms.


Developer: Well, these Poll Condoms are specially designed for the polling desire. They are made to fit your mouse, small and big. Mind you, everyone has a different mouse. Well, they fit your mouse's shape, and there's a special tip at the end for clicking room to fulfill the Polling desires.
It's quite simple really.


Are these Poll Condoms 100% effective?

Sadly, no. We're working to improve that, though. They are only about 89% effective, but we will all have our different results.

Thank you for stopping by.

No problem.

Hold on, the studio is now taking calls. Hello and what is it you'd like to say?
Caller: Alright, I can understand the want of these "Poll Condoms". But if that guy just said they're not always effective, why bother using them?
Well that's a precaution to ward off the diseases. Much better to have a fighting chance than none at all.
89% eh? Not what one would call ideal. How are we supposed to be sure it's worth it?
Well it depends all on if you'd rather rely on luck that with every poll you take you will not contract a disease. Or if you'd pay for the Poll Condoms. You must remember that cures are either not found or expensive.
Alright, you've got me there. Poll Condoms sound acceptable to me.
Well that was a nice quick insight into why people should bother with Safe Polling products.
This just in! An update on the Poll Doctor Facility mayhem!

Just recently, a Poll Doctor Facility was burned down for refusing to refund Poll Whores for their shot. The refusal angered the Poll Whores and they immediately started to destroy the facility! One Poll Whore was taken into custody for starting the riot and the burning.
We got a short statement from that Poll Whore:

Quote:
If they refuse to repay for their mistake, then they don't deserve to be there. I paid good money for a cure, and a cure is not what I got. I enjoyed every second of the fire.


The Poll Whore is facing severe charges and is currently sitting in Poll Jail.

Thanks to our news team we've been able to locate the accused's family. Excuse me, ma'am, but we'd like to ask you your opinion on the Poll Whore's imprisonment.
My Poll Whore son has only vented his frustrations on the so called "Poll Doctors". He can't be held solely accountable for their ineptitude at producing a cure he so rightly paid for! And when it turns out to be a fake, he asks for a reasonable refund! How have the authorities treated a victim? Harshly!
Ma'am, he burned the facility to the ground, mercilessly. Wouldn't you call that justifiable reason to detain him? Arson, no matter the back story, is a federal offense.
Well who caused him to be driven to arson? The Doctors!
Right... Well, I believe that's all we'll be getting. Back to the studio.
