We were curious. You were forthcoming. The results of last week's poll to determine what kind of contests we should run on Destructoid in the not-so-distant future drew nearly a thousand responses. The poll revealed that Dtoiders would prefer better odds of winning games, cash, or bowls of Colette's taco soup instead of a single large prize. I will definitely let our sponsors know and will try to make it happen. While we may encounter some difficulty mailing taco soup with the postal service, she might be willing to surrender the recipe on her c-blog. But never mind all that -- let's talk about the more eccentric feedback.
I'd like to personally thank all of the people that went through the trouble of specifying "other' and letting us know what they really wanted. There are some of you that simply want some cake, noobs stabbed to death, and "Multiple bowls of Rev Ant's sister". For the sake of discussion and hilarity, all of the responses are posted below the fold for your viewing entertainment.
If you missed the poll and would like to chime in, please do so in the comments below. A new poll will begin this Friday -- thanks for all the votes!

Or maybe they don't care about contests, so in that case take note of their IP addresses and disqualify them permanently.
Just so I have a better chance next time... please?
What are you, a fag?
Hey that's MINE!! :D
Also, what happened with the Tshirt design contest?? Did my oldass miss the winner announcement??
I agree
Can't it be both?
On a more serious note, what was the end result, I believe, is best for all of us there should be multiple winners,It's faiere that way, AND the losers feel better, IMO!!
Also, Niero, if you read this comment, please can you act upon the 'Noobs' one, not to be a spiolsport but I(and many others) HATE clicking on blogs, and they turn out to be, quite frankly, 'shit', the unfortunate part is, they are increasing,:(
thanks!!
HAHAHAHA.
i second that motion.
Existential.
/Geico commercial
I however second the vote for a bowl of Chad's manjuice.
And if you could do multiple winners, a console each; well...win.
In all srsnss, I think the best choice won that poll. One or two games each and a couple of winners is cool. But you don't have to get rid of the console contest completely...
I need that PS3.
2.) Pool the contest money for a while, and throw a giant party for the community. (at Niero's house)
3.) A local hooker off craigslist.
But by God, we will try.
I am near.
