Manager 'Niggorex' opened the poll, laid out the rules (no self-voting, IP/spam monitoring), and threw his own vote to a sig by 'Shifty'. The poll results show a close spread across 13 entries with two options tied at the top (20.69% each) out of 29 total votes, a typical snapshot of the GFX crew's ongoing craft-and-compete culture.
