This Belated Poll

Written by: Vera
Date: Monday, October 23rd, 2000
Addressed to: Everyone


After much meditation on cutlery and the other facts of life, I have returned to post the results of the promised second poll.
Disclaimer: If you don't like this sort of thing, please don't read this post. I take no responsibility for the wrath of people who insist on reading things they don't like.
Thank you, Vera de Menee of Nonin

1. What guild are you in?

29% said Druids
29% said None
14% said Occultists
14% said Sentaari
14% said Sentinels


2. Which God or Goddess do you follow, if any (officially or unofficially)?

43% said Gaia
14% said Eris
14% said Miramar
14% said None
14% said Vastar


3. To which gender do you belong?

57% said Male
43% said Female


4. Which article of clothing would you not be caught without?

29% said Pants
29% said Robes
14% said Dress
14% said Guild-related clothing
14% said Panties


5. Which article of clothing would you not be caught _ with_?

43% said Various types of lingerie
29% said Yellow pants
14% said Particolored hose
14% said Striped pants


6. Which skillset makes you feel the most queasy?

29% said Necromancy
29% said Telepathy
14% said Forging
14% said Philosophy
14% said Venoms


7. Do you consider yourself to be the strong, silent type?

57% said No
43% said Yes


8. Which herb best describes your personality?

29% said Cohosh
29% said Kola
29% said Myrrh
14% said Bloodroot


9. If weapons could talk, from which kind would you revoke the privilege?

29% said Clubs
29% said Whips
14% said Buckawn spines
14% said Kharons' hands
14% said Shortswords


10. Falcons- vicious killers or fuzzy birds?

57% said Fuzzy birds
29% said Both
14% said Neither



Analysis and Commentary

100% of those who consider themselves the strong, silent type think of falcons as fuzzy birds.
It makes sense. Anyone who runs screaming from a falcon is probably not strong and definitely not silent.

100% of those who find Necromancy to be the skillset that makes them the most queasy would not be caught dead in lingerie.
Psychological warfare: the bra-wielding Occultist. (Or Infernal, for that matter.)

100% of those who would revoke speaking privileges from whips are male.
No comment. Too easy.


This concludes the poll. Those who participated may notice the absence of a few questions. That is because some of them require more data to be meaningful. Thanks to all who participated.
Special thanks to Elena, strangest of the strange, superior data collector, and creator of some truly odd questions.
~Vera, who is impressed if you made it this far

Penned by my hand on the 13th of Sarapin, in the year 261 AF.
