All votes tallied. Also, the Fey option is for the creature type Fey. Anyone who voted Fae and wanted something different, please feel free to post here and explain what you mean, because honestly, I don't see the difference. (Nymphs, sprites and pixies are all fey, so what separates fae from fey?)

Currently, we Illithid fans are tied with the Medusa fans for fourth place, coming in behind the Fey, Angels and Oozes. As such, I reach out to the Medusa fans and suggest we pool our votes for a combined race of Medusa-Illithids! If the males have the wiggly bits coming out of the bottom of the head and the females have the wiggly bits coming out of the top of the head, we'll both get what we want!

I would be willing to move my vote, if all the other Medusa-supporters also do, and the two races are combined into one category of Meduthids or Illiae, with females having serpententacle hair, and males having serpententacle beards as you proposed. Can we have an official vote on this matter?

Oh geez...*facepalm*

See, on the one hand, that is a ton of more work for me. On the other hand, that just sounds so freaking amazing that I have to agree with you.

Everyone who wants a Meduthid is welcome to post their interest.

Okay. Meduthid is officially on the chart (and Eldest's vote was its first). Anyone who likes can move their votes over to it. Good luck to you all against the fey.

With this change I'd like to reallocate my Medusa vote to the Meduthid, and my Harpy vote to downgrade the Fey.

Meduthid: +1
Ooze: +1.
See, I would downvote fey for an intelligent ooze... but the awesomeness of the Meduthid calls to me!

What--what have I done? It--it was a joke. Oh God--why didn't I listen to my classmate when he told me to use my powers for good instead for evil?

Really--I'm thrilled you guys like the idea--but I was kidding...

EDIT: Meduthid is just an awesome sounding name though.

Hey, I think it's hilarious, so why not? Besides, you guys won't have a chance against the Fey crowd if you have to split your vote between the two.

I just want a generic Fey-type race.

Since my 2nd vote has jumped between Medusa and Illithid already, I would happily shift my vote to Meduthid

I'm keeping Fey in there though, since I suggested it in the first place!

And now you're quoting Saint Stan at me (sort of). *sigh* I guess if I didn't want to take care of my little Meduthids I shouldn't have slept with their mother. Go ahead and move my up vote to Meduthid. An Illithid's gotta take responsibility for his actions after all.

You don't have to beat around the bush, baby. *kneeling* I promise I'll make an honest medusa of you. I--uh--don't know the traditions of your people. Do I just need to get a ring or do I have to make a goat sacrifice or something?

I'm glad you changed your mind on the Ooze thing. It has a lot of potential as far as races go, and it's a shame it gets passed over so often. If you hadn't counted me before, put me down for +1 Ooze. Meduthids, however, sound ridiculous. In a bad way. -1 Meduthids

Swapping my vote for fey to meduthid.

Also, I think we ought to start setting up a game so we can test drive it when the race is done.

And voting for the race has ended! The time limit is up! The winner, after the last vote was taken into account, is the Meduthid! I will begin Round 2 next week, after the holidays have ended.

Congratulations to the winner!
