Roll first

Officials hold the list. A guessed number without the matching last name is refused, counted as a reject, and can lock the number.

DM FBU Voice

Members message the bot /start, then number and last name. Group buttons only work after that private check.

Public count

Charts, turnout, rejected attempts and the audit list appear here. Who voted for what is never published.

Closed — on the record

Industrial demo questions were closed so this trial is only fruit and colour. They stay as a record of the same machinery on a union topic.
