What about a group of Onos... ( I voted Onos btw <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> )

I cannot believe that all this started from a phone call i made. Whats goin on?! there obviously is a reason why these polls are so close! since the first vote was casted by myself (tear comes to eye), this has been a blow by blow fight for the word to be crowned that which are multiple onos.
i think its time somebody stopped the madness! Clearly, considering the fact that it is not actually a real word, both must be correct. i have never actually heard anyone say Oni on a server, but maybe that is just the servers i play in, maybe all the servers in .. hell i dunno, north Decoda, wherever that is, only say Oni , and have done from the beginning. Why dont we just call it a draw?
its 310/310 on the polls as i type this, ive never seen anything so close, and if it was, some idiotic president (as opposed to the current one <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> )demanded a recount.
so leave it as it is. Onos , Oni, Say what you want. But the important thing is that both are correct. Flayra was neither right nor wrong, nor was i, nor anyone else who has voted on this poll. May the luck o' d irish always be with you. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I can't believe after 614 votes, that the vote is only off 2 votes (before I posted anyway), I think that is pretty amazing, I just wonder what the results would be if onoses was a third choice (cause thats what I use).
how about this... rename the onos to ono, because one onos is really only one "Oh, no" from all the marines.... two or more would be bunch of "Oh, no"'s.
This would also allow people to call them onos and still be correct....
I dunno... I think it would be interesting. ONO coming for base.....
i still say it's t3h PWNOS <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

There seems to be no "winning" side. I mean 313 to 314? Thats no difference <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Now you have an idea of what happens in democratic elections (which aren't a total whitewash for one candidate). You get 49.76% voting for one, and 50.24% voting for the other. If the 50.24% wins (as the majority), how is that fair? In this case, it is a margin of 3 people that makes over 200 lose the validity of their opinion. Obviously, both options are popular - I doubt the correct one can be judged from this poll.
I agree, I think someone(who might just be losing) is using poll h4x OMGWTHBBQ.
Obviously the only group that could be so underhanded would have to be those Oni lovers, can't trust anyone who allows the Japanese to influence their decisions.
Just messing btw, both options are right I suppose, but Onos is more right <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

We're talking about plural here, thus the name of the thread "If you saw <b>more than one</b> onos..."
so.. then you'd say "watch out for the oni, and the girls with eyes the size of radar dishes, and that weird upside tear, and... oh no.. the tentacles.."

I hope Oni enjoyed its six minutes of being in the lead. :D

Sorry. You can't stop madness that easily!!!
You're right that we should close the polls now though - it's currently 312/311 in favour of Onos. :D
This would also allow people to call them onos and still be correct....
