This is what I've cooked up with input from CmG:
If a game is chosen that user X voted for and user X decides not to /sign for it, they will be at strike one. If it happens a second time, any future votes from user X will be completely disregarded in future MFM polls.
If user X has been penalised as described above (votes don't count) and then participates in an MFM (must actually play until the end, just signing or joining and getting replaced doesn't count), they will be set back to strike one and their votes will count again.
Any past "offenders" will be set to strike one already. I will keep a list to track it.

SFM-I: Spy SFM-II: Bandit SFM-III: Host SFM-VI: Skeleton Knight

We're not going to give up. Since the votes can be changed in this poll anytime, there is still a chance that another setup can win the poll. Still, even if I do not win the poll, I'll simply wait out for the next M-FM poll.
Anyway, I promised to be an active FM player, so I'll gladly join any other game that wins this poll (even if it will be something like Mass Killing). Still, for your information, I prefer large games with 20 or more players. Games with 15 or less players I usually play at SC2 Mafia. For the same reason, I won't be hosting S-FM games anymore.

Congrats Cryptonic!
Aww man, it looks like there won't be very many leftover signup slots since I didn't vote for yours in the poll x___x
The haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
I can't conclude this poll yet, as there may be some complications for the winner. Will update once we know more.

I was hoping the FM would be done a bit earlier or later, as I will be vacation/honeymoon June28-July13.
If you guys can play some SFMs and be patient, I can post signups and start the game when I get back from Japan. If you guys don't want to wait 1 month, Gerik can go ahead with his game.
Why won't we run 2 M-FMs at the same time once the major FM is finished?

Oh, we I guess you are right after all. Not everyone can afford himself playing 2 M-FMs at the same time. But I thought that it would work if both of those games could have different participants each. Aussining we have about 50 people active at Sc2 mafia, we can put 20 of then in one game, 20 in another and the rest in reserves. Do you think that can work?

maybe we could run 2 13 player s-fms along with m-fm?
