POLL IS COMPLETE, BUT ENTIRELY TAINTED - 2 OPTIONS (Patreon)

Okay, Gang, you all know about the dram in the latest poll, with someone creating bot accounts to help Fairy Tail. To say I'm annoyed by the whole thing would be a huge understatement!

So, the final results have FT winning by 8 votes. I am POSITIVE of 10 votes that were set up as bots, and there were likely several more. Whoever did it, wasn't even trying to hide what was going on, as the new accounts and corresponding votes came in altogether in 4-5 minute increments, utilizing anime character names for most all of the accounts.

The idea of the polls is to allow all the REAL GOOSHERS to decide what they would like to see. There is no room for someone to invest $15 or so to skew the results to one particular show. 

As far as how things were going prior to the botting, there was little doubt that Fate/Zero was going to win, as the same thing happened to Fairy Tail in the past: Most all of the votes that are re-cast by people whose choices weren't going to win, go against Fairy Tail. That's understandable, as people in that situation generally don't want several long series running at the same time, which puts their favorites miles away from another shot. As the contest was winding down, Fate/Zero had taken - and was extending - its lead.

So, here are a couple of options we can vote on. But first, some details to help you decide:

1) At the $1 level, we will be finishing Boondocks, then going to Black Clover, as we had previously set up. Then, we will be doing a One Piece catch up (YAY!) as I'd like to see some of the episodes that have been causing so much buzz. After that, we will watch season 3 of Kaguya-Sama, Love Is War. That will give you guys a couple shorter, but great shows.

2) I record a few episodes ahead, so while we are taking this poll and having any follow-up discussions, I'm going to insert Future Diary after we wrap up My Dress-Up Darling. The reason I pick that one is because it's short (about a month for us) and a lot of you seem very high on it. That will buy us the time to sort this out.

NOW HERE ARE THE OPTIONS:

OPTION #1 - Fairy Tail is going to run into the same type of issues every poll, as it's got a lot of supporters, but it also has detractors AND it's just too long for a lot of people with what we have going on now. So, if you vote for option #1 below, we will schedule Fairy Tail to follow Gintama. That way, Fairy Tail fans get to know it is, indeed, coming up. We will then finish watching Future Diary, then Fate/Zero. As we finish up Fate/Zero, there will be a new poll where Fate, and FT won't be involved... I think this is most fair, but I want to give you guys options.

OPTION #2 - I will go refund all the accounts I know to be fake. That means they won't auto-renew, and we can do the entire poll over again once the first of July hits. That way, the bot accounts can't vote. Future Diary will be buying us the time to do this. If there is more suspicious activity around FT again, I will have to just eliminate it (which is unfair to its many non-cheating fans) and I'll insert it at a future date wherever I can put it.

I think option #1 should work well for all, but let me know what you guys think.
