All right, there we go: round 2 of our quest for the most important MSX news of 2006. As we did last time, all nominations are still in the race. In this round they battle each other in a different order, giving every nomination an as fair a chance possible. 38 news posts were nominated, and only one of them contains the most important MSX news of the year 2006. You can decide which one it is going to be. How? Easy! Help us make a pre-selection for the frontpage poll by casting your votes. It's simple and fun!

Below is a list of 19 pairs. Your job is to divide three points between each pair. So with the pair

option A | option B

the following scores are valid:

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

These are the only valid scores you can cast. Mixing pairs with others is not allowed, only non-negative integers are allowed and the sum of 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 second round closes when 13 votes have been cast. After then, the top-66% of both round 1 and 2 combined will move on to round 3. Only the first 13 votes will be counted, so... hasten quickly!
