The Great Official Poll: What should be the Mascot of NS General?

Leonstein
30-07-2005, 12:58
Well, I don't think we have a mascot, do we?

So here goes.
Name your contenders and at some point we'll have a poll with the 10 most popular choices.
I'll update whenever I can.

The Rules

-You may nominate multiple things, but you cannot nominate the same thing more than once.
-As long as I have the faintest idea what you're talking about, I'll add it to the list
-I reckon "Myrth" would be a boring mascot, and since I'm all powerful right now..."Myrth" is outlawed as an option
:D

I nominate Corvus Corax, the Common Raven.
Especially since the two Ravens on Odin's shoulders represented Memory and Thought.

Nominations

Raven - 4 nominations
Monotonous' Doggie - 1 nomination
Koala - 1 nomination
Big Nationstates Eye - 1 nomination
Big Blue Squirrel - 2 nominations
Trashcat - 5 nominations
Moth - 2 nominations
Rabbit - 1 nomination
TIN's eye - 3 nominations
Max Barry - 1 nomination
Globe - 1 nomination
Gigantic Troll - 5 nominations
Tink's Boobies - 7 nominations
Duke Hamster - 2 nominations
Scrotum-Seeking Attack Weasels - 1 nomination
Jibea - 1 nomination
Doppelsoldner - 1 nomination
Teutonic Knight - 1 nomination
Zweihänder - 1 nomination
Badger - 1 nomination
Tintin, Captain Haddock and Snowy - 1 nomination
Czardas - 2 nominations

Memory and ThoughtIn NS General? Unless this is irony, HA! ;)

I nominate, erm... the Koala bear. As they look all cute and friendly, until you get close, when they turn out to be vicious little buggers. Just like General!

Careful there. Just three days ago I watched a Raven take down a Dove in my yard. Ripped off the head and flung the Dove's food all over the place...
Now there was a sight!

If we add a Myrth, wouldn't that predetermine the outcome? Is there anything that could stand against a Myrth?

no i think myrth is somewhat the obvious choice, and would win without fail :D
probably best not to nominate him then, as you say :p

Hey... I'd vote for them and they represent NS General perfectly...

Hear me out.

1) there is a Left side and a Right side... like so many posters. and there are also those that waffle between the two... points.

2) they are large and represent the growing number of people coming to General.

3) they are fun (yes they are) just like NS General.

4) they also represent the Consperacy Theroists... (they are always covered up and are only revealed to a select few.)

5) no matter what... you enjoy looking at them... like the threads in General.

6) like facts... sometimes they are rarely seen. unless you know where to look.
