| Empress of All Summer
So since no one else has done one yet- here it is. I chose who to put up here based on amount of rep rather than activity. The top ten females on the rep list are our options.

| Being optimistic, not only someone but two people have voted for you- one might be yourself, but you're tied for the lead anyway. | |

| Extremely flawed method of choosing candidates, given the propensities of epeeists. The poll, therefore, is of course...

| It's the only truly objective method I could think of! And this way, no one's feelings are hurt cause I decided not to put them on the list. This way the decision as to who is on the list was out of my hands. | |

| Random selection? Alphabetical order?
I don't see how using a scale with an epeeist's thumb on it is in any way objective...

| Instead of random selection, maybe we could try natural selection next time?
Either way, please... please take me off! I hate it when you people (*ahem, FG*) put me on these things, and not just because I never win. I don't need to be reminded of that ill-fated student council race in 10th grade, when the cheerleaders took over from the thinking people...

| For once... I had nothing to do with any of this! Trust me... I'm not looking forward to coming in second to ZZ again.

| The poll is flawed.
Zelda is, and will always remain, the Empress of Summer. And Winter. And fall and spring. And any other time.

But then, what would a sabreur know? They argue every call based on that silly ROW, when even the slowest (read: "sabreur") could see the overwhelming preference.

| I really think that we should just have every poll have an option for poll is flawed, but instead of saying that just put "INQ VOTE HERE" in big bold letters, so he doesn't have to sway the voting by voting for the normal Poll is Flawed option. | |

| Oh, silly person! The Inq would never vote for such an option! He would argue, instead, that the poll is flawed because there was not a choice for INQ DON'T VOTE HERE! He is a sabreur, after all--most contrary!
