I'll be making posts about my interactive story polls here, for safe keeping and for anyone who wants to see what the results previously have been. Ideally, I'll make a new pole every weekend, varying depending on my real life stuff.

"Rules" for the polls (subject to change as I see fit):
1. The option with the most votes wins.
2. In the event of a tie, it's up to my discretion as to how to proceed. ((EDIT) I will likely wait until there is a weekend with no ties.)
3. There will always be a "neutral" vote so other people can see how the polls are going. This vote has no affect on the actual outcome of the interactive poll. For example, "Interact with the poll." was the option with the most votes in the first poll, but it did not win as the resulting action.
4. While I appreciate suggestions on what I might have done differently, unless the only votes have been on the neutral options, I will not change the poll after it has been set up. This is to make sure no one's vote is thrown away.
4.5) I retain the right to alter the poll upon documentation in order to clarify/rectify. An example would be like in the first poll, I actually wrote "A Pole?", but for purposes of clarifying that the original intention was for the interaction to take place between the voters and an inanimate object and not a Polish person, I have changed it to "A pole?" in the documenting therein.
(EDIT) 5. In order to move on to the next part of the story, there must be at least 20 votes at the beginning of the weekend.
