Change of Rules for the Poll

I have the impression that some people are not voting in the [First Poll now deleted; voting completed], perhaps because they sense that the votes there will not carry much weight. So I'm increasing the weight that I'm giving to the votes in that poll.

Originally each vote was going to be worth 100 GPs in the tallying. I've changed that to make it depend upon the number of GPs voted. Now, each vote will be worth 1/2 of the average GP donation size. So, if 8 people vote 10K GPs for 20 choices, then each vote in the poll will be worth 250 GPs (one-half of 10K divided by 20; the number of donors is irrelevant). I hope this will make it such that free votes will be worth casting, while still giving direct GP donations a greater weight.

I'm not going to tell you what the votes are worth at the moment. I will say that each vote is currently worth at least 350 GPs.
