1.d4 is probably worst.  It is the coward's opening.  I am ashamed to have ever played it.

d4, it's just lame.  Objectively it's good, but realistically it signals apathy, boredom, and impotence.

You can, but I might end up confusing myself and leaving the first vote still there. ;)

qiusi

To be legit, any move except b4, g4, or f3 is okay for white since the worst that can happen is to play black

Apoapsis

I vote 1.f4??!

Be sure to look at the ballot, and they threads that the candidates have been nominated for before casting your vote.
