Every month I wish there was a page dedicated to the polling. I think this page could do a couple things, it could hold a record for previously unvaulted creatures so it's easier to see which have been unvaulted rather than scrolling the blog. A page dedicated to polling could also show pictures of the creatures up for voting that month. I often refrain from voting when I'm in a hurry or drained mentally because I cannot keep all the names straight in my head and searching for each in the archives to see who is who becomes a lot of work.I know this may be an unpopular suggestion but I also think having the polling results available sort of "in real time" as the month progresses would be nice, especially if you're like me and don't always like the popular choice. I think it'd be easier to feel like your vote isnt wasted on a creature no one else voted for if you can see which are the most popular and vote for one of those to affect the odds.

@mightyeglantine I support this idea. I sometimes refrain from voting, because I just don't have time to search who is who and I simply don't remember the looks of all 1000+ creatures on this site.

i like this idea! i'm the one with the archives open looking at the candidates before casting a vote, instead of going for what would be popular.

Definitely like this idea! I've said before how much easier it would be if there were pictures with the options, like @/cryogenics I usually have the archives open to look up anything I don't recognize but that can get very tedious. It would also be nice to have the info on what has been rereleased on a single page instead of using the archive and looking at the dates. While I usually vote for what I personally would buy rather than what might be popular, I don't like to vote for something that has already been rereleased simply because there are so many others that deserve a rerelease.I'm not so sure about having real-time polling results though, that may lead to more people voting for what's popular instead of what they actually want, which sort of defeats the purpose of being able to vote on it imo. (Imo it could also increase the scenarios where something was the 'winner' voting-wise but then it just sits in the Cash Shop all month with not even half it's supply bought, maybe others see it differently but it feels sort of a waste in those cases when there are other creatures that may have actually sold out).

I'd also love a dedicated page for it instead of a pop-up. I did enjoy the guide @/chaotictreat made for the August ones (https://eggcave.com/forums/topic/78740) so something straight-forward like that would be great. I'm less sure about the real-time polling option. I like the idea of people voting for what they want without outside influence. If the devs wanted to make it super complicated, we could even do a top 3 voting system to make it more exciting lol Like everyone gets to pick their first, second, and third. That'd probably be a headache to code though.
