At the request of a forum user, this pole will be provided. It'll be up for 30 days for anyone to vote, enjoy! :)
EDIT: Updated spelling mistakes and added third 'other' option for other tool layouts.
-
Typo: mallot - mallet
Chem mallet spanner, buff mallet spanner, buff wrench chem
-
Maybe it's a pun. We're having a 'ballot' about mallets. 'mallot.'
-
How bout "It makes no difference to me?"
-
Where's the option for chem first?

And how about "I walk on my hands and eat with my feet" :O Don't try to justify such abominations
-
It would be so funny if "other" won.

My god, it's 9-9, I need to get some popcorn and watch this all day.
That said, I can't just let this competition slip by and win itself.

i suggest a change to the poll in order to make it more in touch with reality
1. HOLY TRINITY Spanner - Mallet - Chem
2. HERESY Mallet - Spanner - Chem
3. ABOMINATION Chem - anything else
thanks

All hail the Holy Trinity, and mah the righteous be victorious against the heretics and abominations.
Remember fighters of the righteous cause, through unity and virtue we shall be victorious, gather thy allies, gather thy alt forum accounts and let us crush all our enemies.

or if you're going full buff...
spanner/mallet/buff
while we're talking about order, ammos go long range to short range. example, for mines: lesmok/incend/loch. duh.

anti fire hot keyed to slot one.
spanner then mallet.
muscle memory binded to this forever.

Mallet/Spanner/Fire
I was unaware there was any other way to do this.

I am confused, this is like the Anglican church: You do things apparently right yet somehow it is wrong.

Recently started using my graphic tablet as a controller for most games, instead of mouse.
My setup so far is
Default tap - spray
Two fingers tap - mallet
One figer double tap - spanner
also taps are way more quick and less tiring on febuild/buffing than clicks ! hope this will be helpful for someone who plans to use tablet too

That's a clever way to do it :D. Although, I can't tell whether spanner-mallet, mallet-spanner, or chem-spanner-mallet. I think you are a spray-mallet-spanner, but I can't accuse you of anything... ???
You are clever madam.

No one complained bout my tool use yet. I have the exact tool needed by the time I'm by that part and switch instantly when needed because muscle memory.
Press y button for default. Press RB twice for repairs. Once for rebuilds. LB for spy glass. And I memorised where to get anything else from whereever in this set up.
Pilot tools. RB twice for kero (past impact bumpers), LB for kero. (goddamn I wish they approve that 2 step pilot tool use thing-need it so bad-mainly hydro and chute so I can replace bumpers finally).
also implying an organisation that follows rules from a parable based rulebook with hundreds of inconsistencies and hypocrisies and saying anything they do is ever right and faithful to said book of paradox/faith/intent therein is funny to me.
-
Just to clarify: chem first is truly awful. :p
-
I can let go of the whole fire suppression first thing. after witnessing the setup of the fire suppression tool being used in slot 2, nothing else seems so bad anymore...
oh and sparky, you have your ammo types backwards. it's short to long. loch, incind, lesmok. :P
and if managing two guns, the oddball ammo type goes first, then sorted by ranges the same way.
-
From the votes so far, Spanner Mallet wins. Spanner-Mallet all the way!
-

Hell no, I firmly believe these votes were a complete hoax. Someone cheated! Mallet Spanner obviously wins!
-
Submit, submit to the might of spanner-mallet, you mallet-spanner peons. You cannot stand against us, you cannot stop us, for we repair better than you. You will submit, or you will fall.
-
You see Lanliss, a very wise man, who also was a mallet-spanner advocator by the way, which isnt very hard to figure for all intellectual men prefer mallet spanner, has said: "The Hull goeth before a fall.", ultimately thy ways are countered by something as simple as a gat mortar! Mallet-spanner also comes with the added benefit of not smacking that 3 second cooldown in with the spanner by accident after the rebuild. So in both short and long term, spanner-mallet falls short.

Thou speaketh truth.
-
I think the 'other' votes are skewing the results. The question is if you put spanner or mallet in front of the other.
That way mallet chem spanner would be a vote for mallet, or my vote of chem mallet spanner.
-
They are not skewing the results. The question is "do you prefer mallet-spanner-insert item here, spanner-mallet-insert item here, or something else, that is neither mallet-spanner or spanner-mallet?". It is not just a question of what you prefer in first slot, but also what you want in second.
-
Actually, you know what? I ran the Stats.
Assumptions
Simple Random Sample of Guns of Icarus Players (assuming that forum attendance has no influence on spanner-mallet, mallet-spanner preference).
n(p) > 10.
n(1-p) > 10.
Population of GOIO players are greater than 460.
Hypothesis
Ho: p = .33333
Ha: p > .33333
Where p is the true proportion of GOIO players who prefer spanner-mallet.
Calculations
z= (P^ - P) / sqrt( P(1 - P) / n ) = .3779644.
p value of .0722.
Conclusion
Since p value is less than .1 (hence marginally significant), I reject the Ho. There is sufficient evidence to suggest that the true proportion of GOIO players who prefer spanner mallet is greater than .333333.
This is a little confusing (even for me who is currently learning Statistics in school), and a slightly flawed here and there, but all of it summarized to suggest that there are more players who prefer spanner-mallet than the other two choices. So, spanner-mallet!
EDIT: as more people vote, my calculation will be off. The above was calculated when there were 20 spanner-mallet, 16 mallet-spanner, and 6 others. The null hypothesis was that all three categories were preferred equally.
-
Of course, the assumption that players in the lounge spending time to answer this poll already biases these results to almost complete uselessness for the purposes of extrapolating to general population. However we can probably draw some more useful conclusions about the forum population's preferences. Generally forum users are older players/veterans. I think the default loadout these days is Mallet spanner when in earlier days it was the opposite. Can anyone confirm this?

I believe it is, I just picked up from novice and use mallet-spanner since.

And the null hypothesis is a little off too. The categories of "others" makes it a bit weird because, if we were to assume that players prefer all load outs equally, "others" would actually be several different load outs. And if we wanted to talk just strictly about spanner-mallet vs. mallet-spanner, "others" prevents that.
So, a little flawed (or maybe lot) stats. but yea.
When you create a recommended loadout, it defaults to mallet-spanner-extinguisher. When you first start playing, (I think) you get spanner-mallet-extinguisher. I think (maybe) players that joined after rec loadout began with recommended mallet-spanner, and players that joined before began with spanner-mallet.
Can anybody confirm my hypothesis?

Like I said, I recall my default engi loadout being mallet-spanner. I myself have joined little after the glorious matchmaker update and all the other overhauls behind it, so that's likely when the mallet-spanner plauge religion began to spread.

a HAPPY SPANNER EASTER to everyone!
Let's pray:
(Raising)
For we place Spanner first,
for we rebuild and repair.
I shall Spray every twice a Mallet,
Never Pipewrench unless it's tank.
Forgive the sinners of their Mallet-Spanner
Deliver them from Extinguisher and
Banish the Range Finder.
Let us bring greased to our flamers
Be it meta or carrofish
But if we spire or gal,
Be Hades or Merc.
Holy trinity Spanner-Mallet-Chem,
Pray for us as we pray for you:
Give us strength under kerosene,
Take the spots for us because
"We are totally busy right now",
Don't let the gunners complain
If their gun is sniped again,
The Chem Cycle must not fall,
For we are the guardians,
We are the last wall from
the encroaching oblivion.

It felt to me like that changed halfway through, from a prayer to the nightwatch oath. Well done either way.

Nope, and it always surprised me. I have never seen a Captain Mal/Tight pants, nor a Serenity. I thought maybe because it seemed so obvious that you would be considered an idiot to do it.
