VOTING: Cheaters be warned! I do not appreciate people "cheating" in the voting polls. I have the polls set up so that you can only vote once. If you've figured out how to cheat - STOP. I have officially intervened in last month's COTM voting and officially announce Scorponok as the winner. I apologize to the people who are legitamitely voting and who's character won, according to the polls. However, I am watching out for this site's best interests. Again, Scorponok is the November COTM.
