[What should be the Regional Animal of Wintreath?]

What should be the Regional Animal of Wintreath?

Snow Leopard

Arctic Fox/Snow Fox

Bump since we haven't had a new vote in a day or so. We can get more than 8 votes!

Why can I vote for all 14 options?

I can't vote for the Potato so I just voted for everything in protest.

Why can I vote for all 14 options?

In this one, I'm allowing everyone to vote for as many as they like. Then if there is a tie for first, we'll have another vote.

Why can I vote for all 14 options?

Approval voting is honestly one of the best voting methods.

Yeah, I'm starting to think I'll do approval voting for future avatar theme of the month polls (since we often have ties anyway -- and I could likely change my votes to break the tie at the last minute anyway).

Don't think it'd really work with Wintreath's Finest, though, since I think it's easier to decide who deserves the award the most rather than who doesn't deserve it (since arguably all the nominees deserve it).

Last call for votes! I'll leave this open for another day or two.

So what happens since the Snow Leopard and the Snow Fox tied?  Will they both be the regional animal?

Also, I'm surprised to see the Winter Eagle is a vote behind them.

Since we had a tie for first, I'm going to now open a new poll between the two animals that tied, the Snow Leopard and the Arctic Fox, to decide which will be the winner. I'll leave the poll open the same as last time.

I'm also going to include the results of the old poll here for posterity.

Reminder to vote if you haven't yet! I'll leave this poll open for a couple more days.

There hasn't been a new vote in a bit, and we already have a clear winner anyway, so I'll close the poll now.

Our new regional animal is the Arctic Fox!



It's also known as the snow fox, white fox, and polar fox (or by its binomial name, vulpes lagopus), so call it whichever you prefer.

Thank you to everyone who nominated animals and/or voted in either of the polls!

Arctic Foxes are frickin adorable!
