that's probably wise.

Also, I would suggest that for all of you who have yet to decide on which creature to vote for, that you should vote for "not hedgehog." The result would be that we would all win our choice of creature, because everything else is "not hedgehog." The only loser would be the cute and prickly hedgehog (and I'm sure we'd find a way around that formality too.)

aha, careful there ! "not
a hedgehog" would indeed refer to any animal other than the adorable hedgehog. but ! the "not hedgehog" is actually a specific entity in its own right, and not simply the
negation of another entity. specifically, it is the specific entity seen in tirsales' avatar (we're pretty sure that's tirsales himself) ! (and possibly others. we're not actually sure just how many "not hedgehogs" are to be found in the wild, because they are rather shy creatures and don't like to be counted.
) so, a vote for "not hedgehog" is indeed a vote FOR something, and not a vote AGAINST something. clear ?
