I wanted to leave the poll up longer but the results are already so raped I don’t think there is much of a point. I unhid the results and it technically will still be votable but it is essentially over.
In the future the theme clearly cannot be character specific because it will immediately be ruined by obsessives. Themes from now on will be topics, places, or scenarios that any character could be put into, and results will be hidden until the poll ends.
That being said, this month’s winner needs to be determined despite obvious interference. The whole point of voting on a theme was to avoid having some SLF try to boss people around on what to do, to have it be an actual community product. I had to judge the poll through a combination of looking at when the votes were cast, the country of origin (nobody on this website is posting from Luxembourg or the British Virgin Islands), and the relative amount of shilling for the options in the thread. 
I’m actually a mayafag and was rooting for paintball before the election fraud. Hopefully this eases accusations of bias when I say it seems like Bishop Mymy had the most real support, votes from more believable sources, and in a more believable pattern. It was close with Maya at the Hairdresser, but I will give the edge to the character without blatant fraud.
I still believe this can be a fun ongoing project despite this initial learning curve, and in the future hopefully voting will be less contentious.
<tldr: This was extremely dangerous to our democracy, Mymy Bishop won, Snopes verified, the Zarty lives and marches on.
