It isn't a game bug but since I couldn't find Forum Feedback/Questions Section, I post it here. Did you people notice that poll percentage calculator works in an odd way? Have a look at this thread for example and add all the percentages https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f10-pr ... ost1938415. It will make way more than 100%.

because its a Multiple Choice Poll maybe?

Maybe, but it still seems it makes little sense having over 100% in total. This number would give us no useful information.

Total is 188,9. Doesn't make sense at all indeed!

This one https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f252-p ... ack-7.html works well so it must have something to do with multiple choices.

But that still doesn't make sense. Its a multiple choice poll, yes, but it should break down the percentage out of 100 between all of the choices. Say I choose 3 maps, that should be no different than a single choice poll and having 3 individuals vote once for each map. You get what I'm saying?

Yeah, you are right, i just didnt think much about it, but are other votes except the multiple choice ones also affected?

Well it seems like the colors cycle after 6 different choices so maybe the first 6 add up to 100% and then the next 6 reset and add up to 100% too.

That was very good observation. The first cycle indeed makes 100%.

Good observation, but the second cycle only makes 88,9% so it doesn't really make sense?

EDIT : I got how it works. The first cycle (6 first options) are the ones who are added up to make 100%. Then all the other ones are based on this first cycle to estimate their percentage.

• 57 28.08% Al Basrah
• 22 10.84% Black Gold (v1.0)
• 8 3.94% Dragon Fly
• 80 39.41% Fallujah West
• 22 10.84% Gaza Beach
• 14 6.90% Iron Ridge

= 203 votes = 100%
The bottom ones are not considered in it

• 11 5.42% Karbala
• 33 16.26% Kokan
• 30 14.78% Korengal Valley
• 36 17.73% Lashkar Valley
• 16 7.88% Operation Archer
• 55 27.09% Ramiel

Nothing is added up here
Amount of votes are just compared to 203
Like 11 out of 203 = 11*100/203 = 5.42% hence QED

Yes I am a mathematics student so this concerned me a lot
