It's a poll. The story will take one direction, or another. There will be winners and losers. The community will have colletively made a choice about how the story should unfold. If this is actually what they are experimenting with, this could be a cool new dawn for the game. Or not, who knows. But I like to think it will matter what you choose, in the indirect sense that they will go with whatever most people opted for, at least if it's very very clear like 70-30 or more.
