I voted! Though… hmm, in livejournal we had to log in for the more extensive polls, and it tracked us by that… will such a thing be possible with this new system?
It seems to do a decent job tracking by IP, and maybe by some cookies or something. I’ve never known anyone who used this system to complain about duplicate voting.

It did work eventually.
Sorry about sidekick troubles. What is the form of discord?

I don’t get a confirmation of the vote — I click the “vote” button and nothing seems to happen. I can’t view the results, either.

Your vote was counted, at least. Sorry about the rest.

Oh, and I can’t reply to comments, either. :/

No biggie. I expect I’ll be replacing the Sidekick sometime in the next few months anyway.

It looks like it didn’t register my vote, it was for Paranenenzu which is still at zero.

Ah, it didn’t register from livejournal. It registered when I voted from here.

I’m the only one who voted for Virid so far.

Something of a glitch here.
“Pararenenzu (Kennoc; Orren) (-2%, 0 Votes)”
Now, I’m pretty sure 0/8 isn’t -0.02…

That does look odd.
It looks like a rounding and presentation issue — four 12.5%’s have been rounded up to 13%, giving a +2%, and this -2% balances that.
Which is more by way of locating the flaw than excusing it.

Virid, the plant goddess, even though I identify more with Sleeth.
