Yup, it's megapoll time again at the MRC. This time we'll find out what our visitors think of as the Most important MSX news of 2004. With 56 nominees, it will take 4 rounds of voting in our forums and a frontpage poll to figure it all out.

So, you want to vote, but you're new to the megapolling system? No problem, it's very simple! Below is a list of 28 pairs. Your job is to divide three points between each pair. So with the pair

newspost A | newspost B

the following scores are valid:

3 - 0 ;newspost A | newspost B
2 - 1 ;newspost A | newspost B
1 - 2 ;newspost A | newspost B
0 - 3 ;newspost A | newspost B

It is NOT permitted to give halve points, the total points divided each pair HAS to be 3 points. You will have to make this decision each pair, until you completed the entire list. Mixing pairs with others is not allowed. Only completely valid submissions will be counted.

So all you have to do to vote is join the MRC, log in and fill in the votesheet below. This first round closes at January 12th, 23:59 CET. Happy voting!
