Saving query information

Hi, I know this has definitely been asked before, but I can't find anything on it. I'm basically trying to make a "better" polling system where users can vote for whatever they want.(Ex. !vote stone;!vote pie ---> Text: 1:"stone";2:"pie") This information would be saved as text anywhere and then counted up later on (off-stream). If this doesn't have an easy answer I can use third party sites like polly, just figured I'd check if there was an easy way to better integrate things.
