[QUOTE="Herremann the Wise, post: 5945837, member: 11300"] The thing that you're not taking into account here (and that the poll is not judging either) is that the winning entry may have been the second choice for a lot of those polled. It most certainly does not mean that 54.8% of those polls didn't like it. Perhaps it is only "hated" by a small percentage and so going with that option is not as perilous as you envisage. Perhaps a better poll (or follow-up poll now that the results are known) is which images do you find acceptable representations of the owlbear. This may lead to the conclusion that the 45.2% option is well supported (even if not everyone's favourite) or it could show that another option is more neutrally accepted. My point is that you need to be very careful with statistics as its very easy to misrepresent what a set of unclear statistics is not saying. [I am a mathematician by the way ;)].
