Hypothetically, in this case seshpenguin would be the first candidate eliminated. 100% of his first choice votes would have gone to jphgolf4321, which would put him over the hump at 57.1% of the votes.

With the No-Kastle responses excluded, Kastle would already have a head start at 50%. Jian_Zen would now be eliminated though, and 100% of his first-choice votes would go to jphgolf4321, giving a tie. Note that the results are shaky due to the low number of responses included in this table (8) as well as the exit of Jian_Zen.

- These polls include Jian_Zen and CyAmethyst, who left their respective races before the release of the poll results.
- _Kastle entered relatively early in polling, and respondents were asked to re-vote if they had already sent a response prior to his entry. 6 respondents did not do this, and so two tables are created, one including these responses and one excluding them.
