*cheesy australian accent*Look how the one group stands behind a singular leader, waiting for her to act before tentatviely following in her footsteps, while the other group acts with pure autonomy, and insanity at that! This second group is like...like a group of MONKEYS.

...go Monkeys.

PS: Baroness...YWS is DEFINITELY not about burninating people.

In addition to all their other qualities that make them a good mascot... Monkeys are real, as mascots should be. Go monkeys!!

Edit: Snoink, the recordings are awesome!

GO MONKEYS!

I even made an avvie to show my support XD

OMG...

Snoink, Grif, and SGT Salt, you guys are so my heroes.

*dies laughing*

And dragon's are not real? Ever heard of the komodo dragon? They may not breath fire as fictional dragons do, but they are still beyond amazing, as well as strong. And monkeys will just die faster if they all act in there own way, making rash decisions; and that'll just make it easier for the dragons to kill them off...one...by...one.

VOTE DRAGON...or else!!!!!

~me~

If I may, quote the motto of Hogwarts? "Don't wake a sleeping dragon, for you are tasty and taste GOOOOD with ketchup."

So you're advocating a komodo dragon as a mascot?
The fact is, the type of dragon that's being considered by most people is not real. The lack of realness makes them way more open to interpretation than a real animal... Which doesn't make them very suitable as a symbol for the site.

Oh and "dragon's" = "dragons", and "there own" = "their own".

I have to say I don't want to be known as fake.

A VOTE FOR MONKEY IS A VOTE FOR REALISM!

Glad you like them!

Monkeys is just YWS.

And if you think about it, YWS upside down is YMS, which could stand for Young Monkeys Society!

There, it's all settled.

GO MONKEYS!!!!

Dragons have the advantage of being able to be and act however you want them to. Monkeys, which already have noted behaviours, cannot be changed with the readers imagination. Surely the fact that dragons are not real is the perfect reason why they should be picked. They can be moulded to the imagination, which is exactly how all the sories in the forums are created. Moulded to the imagination. Imagination, I tell you!!!

It's called personification, Kaz--applying human traits to a non-human. You know, giving it a personality. The problem withpersonifying a dragon is they are already a sentient being in most fantasy stories, so they have no need to be personified, so to speak.

But personifying a monkey will take away the stated purpose of the monkey. One of the arguments for monkeys is that monkeys are real. Giving it a personality, the ability to talk, etc. contradicts the whole point of the reality of a monkey mascot. Unless I am very much mistaken, monkeys do not have human personalities.

Monkeys have personalities. All animals do - even spiders have been demonstrated to have personalities.

Monkeys, due to their intelligence, are capable of many things - including culture, language and lying.
