There are certain things in the polls where specific things are asked, and the answers are given and there doesn't seem to be any impact from the poll

For example if 60% of those answer the poll want to give Mactonight an Ice Cream....does Mactonight ever get that Ice Cream?

My question is what is the impact of the poll?

Now I really want an Ice Cream....

Often there is no impact. Often the impact is subtle and effects future planning. For example the feedback from CAMELOT as being too complicated for some resulted in MAGIC and eventually OMNIBUS. The feedback on the age group of players resulted in a program to target younger players at campsites and playground venues.
