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... Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

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...  Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

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...

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. Nothing is more frightening than ignorance in action.

That truth is beauty; beauty, truth. That is all ye need to know. I have it on pretty good authority.

Because we can.

Say, referee: Which fencers need no ridiculous stopwatch for his bouts, again?
And which fencers drove the FIE to devise a rule to punish inactivity?
could see the overwhelming preference.
Meh, well, it's true that epeeists ARE known for an overwhelming something... Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

Because we can. Because you can doesn't mean you should. But then, sabreurs are naturally inclined to argue even when it's neither meaningful nor productive--case in point...
Say, referee: Which fencers need no ridiculous stopwatch for his bouts, again?
If we're going to do something we like, we just want to savor it--instead of "Wham, Bam, Thank you Ma'am", next saber bout!
And which fencers drove the FIE to devise a rule to punish inactivity? ...after they introduced the very rules which led to said inactivity--bah! Don't get me started on the FIE and its rules! And don't even try to convince me that you are their advocate.
Meh, well, it's true that epeeists ARE known for an overwhelming something...
...known as "charm"... Nothing is more frightening than ignorance in action.

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! Nothing is more frightening than ignorance in action.

Ahh, I guess we would be stuck with having to make a seperate poll for inq then, full of various takes on the poll is flawed choice, like "poll is flawed because there is no option for the poll being flawed since there is no option for the poll is not flawed option" if that made any sense. This is pretty off topic from the thread though.
