A Bespoke Game Night Voting System #140

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Third party voting solutions for game nights are dynamic are cumbersome or non existent, and easy to use solutions are too limited - either is less than ideal due to their generic nature for our specific relevant use case.

Describe the solution you'd like
A voting system designed for game nights that allows ranked choice voting, user submitted entries, and comments on entries integrated into the website so that clubs could make a new page (for their homepage or just for access via explicit hyperlink from discord), describe their game night, and add and configure a vote component to the page (whatever works with the website's page generator).

Describe alternatives you've considered
Google forms and Tricider are clumsy and require more actions to get people voting and are a little less easy to set up than a bespoke solution could be. Because solutions that have worked in the past already exist and this would be lots of things to get working, this is definitely a backlog "pie in the sky" adjacent feature request.

However, our own solution could be adjusted to account for our developing feelings on how game nights should be decided, and is a solid goalpost that encourages the solidification of docs and motivation for admins to create pages and start engaging members with the website as more than a passive reflection of the happenings of discord. If we hit that goalpost, I personally could imagine that use of and interest in the site would increase.
