PEELie Poll: Which PEELer You'd Most Hate to Fight

[on:]

Which of these PEELers would you hate to encounter in a dark alley?

Absolutely tnuc, specifically in a match of wits…though she’d probably also easily kick my ass irl (and be perfectly justified in doing so).

I think you'd beat me in either, TBH. I am capable of losing a battle of wits to a trio of hyperactive kittens (and do so on a regular basis), and although I'm in shape, that shape is a fucking circle. I have no upper body strength, noodle arms, and what little power my legs retain to propel me around is hindered by my knees having started to give out after so many years of suffering under the weight of... ...well, me.

My vote goes to Svip. I don't want to fight anybody, but Svip is a viking. As an Englishwoman, I know better than to try to fight vikings. You just give them what they want and they sail home peacefully. Try to fight them, and the next thing you know you've got a bunch of new words in your language and a bunch of axes in your furniture and/or back.

I'd lose against any one of these people, but I went with tnuc, because she /knows/ how to argue on the internet.

Nick is a survivor, and has been through some rough and scrappy times. Never go up against a survivor.

While David A does genuinely intimidate me, I went with tnuc because I'm quite positive if we ever got into a genuine fight about something, I'd come out the loser. It's real tough to go up against such consistently well thought-out and humorous posts.

[Reply #6 on:]

Went with Svip cause I know in can kick tnuc's ass and I just chose one of the other three options.

[Reply #7 on:]

Tough call, but I went with David A; he's got an air of mystery that Tnuc and Svip don't have. That mystery terrifies me. The unknown. Will he beat me in a game of wits? Humiliate me? Wear my skin? I have no idea.

I have to say, I'm disappointed that no one nominated me for this category. Are you all saying that I'm not threatening?

I'm sticking with my nom winna on this one. It's impossible to know what he's thinking, and the dude is clever.

[Reply #9 on:]

The idea of fighting myself raises too many questions for comfort.  How does one maintain composure in such a situation?

[Reply #10 on:]

Winna would never kick anyone's butt. He is a gentle soul and would give you the shirt off his back.

You don't normally retain composure when fighting yourself. It's usually more of a mental battle than a physical one, so primarily you'll be wrestling with your inner demons, possibly attempting to discern the agenda of your subconscious, and probably spending a bit of time staring into the abyss while being beaten by your own perceived failings.

I mean, it's pretty discombobulating.

But at least you end up coming out the other side a winner - I mean, whoever wins, you were only fighting yourself. So you won!

Oh, I thought it was like discovering someone had cloned me without my knowledge, and had now sent myself as an assassin to kill me.

tnuc, STOP READING MY DIARY.

No, no, I said I was rummaging through your dairy. I've been tasting your butter.

[Reply #15 on:]

Perhaps the most deranged PEELie; perhaps the most deranged recipient. Feel free to guess as to which of you is the winner of this one. It'll be canonized when I figure out exactly how to award it without starting a brawl.

[Reply #16 on:]

Hmmm... is it better to be loved (winning best PEELer) or feared (winning this PEELie)?

[Reply #17 on:]

I forget who won this. Probably Svip. Just as a fun aside, it was originally the plan to aware all PEELies to Svip, because it would have been hilarious to make people vote and have them anticipate, hope, even jiggle nervously in their seats as they awaited the outcome, and then just give all the trophies to the boss in a massive display of suckupitude.

But we didn't do that, because a higher power (Svip) intervened.
