...that you may wish to have a clue as to what it is, precisely, you are voting for. As I cannot edit a Poll Post, I am going to add Pluffy's initial post here, which explains the competition: *hopes it works*

Are you a well rounded craftsman (or woman) with tons of skills and a secret creative side? Well, the Ordo Sylvanus has an event for you! That's right, it's IRON CHEF II: THE WRATH OF BOB. Your crafter, for once, can be the guy winning the l33t preizes and getting all the glory!
THE IRON CHEF FAQ:
What is Iron Chef?
It's a no holds barred free for all art-fight, as crafters struggle to create the coolest, funniest, most beautiful, or most creative work of art while a gallery of screaming fans eggs them on and smack talks the competition. It's a chance for every crafter to be able to say:
Who can play Iron chef?
Any multi-skilled craftsman. The more crafting skills you have mastered--including carpentry, tinkering, smithing, and alchemy, the more effective you will be as a competitor. Those who have read gargoyle books are also at a slight advantage. You will be facing the Champion Iron Chefster from last year's competition, Lord Bob McForge, as well as up to four other Iron Chef Wannabes.

Is this event going to be, like, really dumb and boring?
NO! It's a weird event. It sounds odd. It's hard to explain. But it's a lot more fun than it sounds. Last year, I literally had to go out, net some wandering crafters, and drag them kicking and screaming to the competiton arena. As we untied them to let them leave after the event, every one of them stopped to make comments like, "Wow, I totally thought this would be the ubersuck, but I had so much fun! When can you have this event again?" and "I'm sorry I tried to bite you and escape being dragged here. This turned out to be the most fun I have ever had with clothes on, assuming my clothes are on now."
When is this event? So glad you asked! It will be Thursday, September 19th, at 6:30 PST.
Where is it? The event will take place at "The Garbage Chute," a large tower near the orc dungeon. Gates will be available at the East Brit bank and the Skara Brae bank to take the competitors and spectators to the event.
