- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

Halberd (literally) FTW (Score:4, Interesting)
The halberd was used by the free cities and cantons of Switzerland to evict invading French [wikipedia.org] and Austrian [wikipedia.org] knights. Clearly the superior aristo-killing tool!
(Also see Barbara Tuchman's excellent Distant Mirror [powells.com] . Highly recommended.)

Greetings! I used to be an active SCA member, and I am regularly lurking here :P :P
I started in the SCA in around 1978 and was an active member off and on until around 1992. I went to Pennsic XVI and beheld the glory that is a field battle with roughly a thousand people per side
Although that said I preferred Shortsword & Shield, Shortsword & Axe, and Broadsword more than polearms,
Although I did fight as part of an organized squad of 7 at one point: 1 left handed sword and board, 3 people using Spear and shield, a right hander using sword and board, and a polearmer behind us. Great fun.
Long Live AnTir! and Long Live the Middle Kingdom!

The overview is here [philamuseum.org] and individual pictures are here. [philamuseum.org] A truly dizzying array of polearms is part of the collection.
