Well, it might be best to stop at one vote: that gives a clear result, while more might confuse the matter. But I'll send you a vote in case you need it.

So everyone voted for something different, which means we have a tie. It seems unfair of me to be the deciding vote. I will need an impartial 3rd party. Any volunteers?
