Please excuse the AOL-like response, but this sounds like a *really* good
idea!

This seems like as good a message to respond to as any.

I have an idea.  Would it be possible to add a paragraph or so to 
whatever supplement (Epitaph, adventure, sourcebook, etc.) announces 
the results, to accommodate those whose result in the voted-upon 
adventure varied from the majority?

I'm not explaining this very well, so here's an example.  Everybody 
votes for Ghostbusters and the majority achieved result X.  In 
"Goff's Fuzzy, Lovable Critters Slaughter Everyone in Sight" (the 
[made-up just for the sake of this example] adventure book in which 
you plan to announce the results of the Ghostbusters result) could 
you include a paragraph for those who did not get result X, with some 
compatible-with-official storyline event that brings them back in 
line with X?  If in Ghostbusters the majority result causes John Doe 
to die and no longer be part of the universe, provide a way for those 
who saved John to get back in line with the majority.  ("For those of 
you who saved John, it's a real shame his stagecoach was robbed on 
the way home.  He heoically saved the lives of his fellow passengers 
by dropping luggage on the robbers, but died of the tetanus infection 
he developed when he cut his hand on an ill-maintained steamer trunk 
clasp.")

Just my $0.02.
