    'Fraid not, the polls are under the secure section of the GANG site so I can't link. The guild members were all invited to nominate for each category (as many as you liked), these were whittled down by the board members and officers to a final list of 4 per section (with examples posted in each voting thread so there would be absolutely no blind voting). These were then voted on by all members of the guild.
    A pretty fair system imho.

    no worries, I never heard of GANG before so I didn't know what way their voting worked.
