The Rules
This is a popularity contest. You may vote for your favourite or whom you think would win in a fight between the two combatants that are chosen to fight. Failure to comply with these rules will likely result in a scale from your vote being removed up to being banned from participating in future fights.
 * While justifying your choice, you have to type whom you want to win in bold.
 * Each user votes only once. An anonymous cannot abuse this either, as the vote record is assigned to your IP address.
 * Anonymous users have just as much right to vote as registered users.
 * To vote, check one bubble under the character of your choice, then click the 'Vote!' button. While you are able to select two, doing so will not result in an accurate result and defeat the purpose of the contest.
 * Justifying your choice is essential too, in order to have a clearer result, so please justify your choice below the poll and also type your signature ( ~ ).

Justifying your choice (Who did you choose and why?)

 * I thought about this for a while before eventually coming to a final decision. I voted for Odin because it is possible that his son (who seemed to be very good with a sword) inherited his sword skills from him. LokiIsAwesome (talk) 03:36, August 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * hm..That's difficult..!!I don't know!!!!!!!=\ (User:Aithusa_poufpouf22 )
 * I picked Odin, but only because I like his character better. It is a really tought choice, and since we haven't seen both of them in battle, it is really hard to know how good they are with the sword. ฬคtєгฬєςภค 08:45, August 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * This was really difficult! Ultimately, it came down to the meanings because I know the writers chose character names for a reason. Heres what I know about both names: Bayard- Derived from Old French baiart meaning "bay coloured". In medieval French poetry, Bayard was a bay horse owned by Renaud de Montauban and his brothers. The horse could magically adjust its size to carry multiple riders. Odin- Anglicized form of Óðinn, which was derived from óðr, meaning "inspiration, rage, frenzy". It ultimately developed from the early Germanic word Woðanaz. In Norse, Odin was the highest of the gods, presiding over art, war, wisdom and death. He resided in Valhalla, where warriors went after they were slain.(source) I chose Odin. User:WorshipperOfTheOldReligion 
 * I chose Bayard because he seemed to be a man of honour whereas Odin is only driven by revenge - and we have alerady had enough people who do the things they do because they seek revenge. Odin was responsible for Uther's death, so I want Bayard to win ;-) Fimber (talk) 16:49, August 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * I pick Bayard because Odin tends to use assassins to do his dirty work for him. --MrThermomanPreacher (talk) 21:52, August 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * I choose Odin. At least he was always honest about his feelings towards Arthur and Camelot, whereas Bayard is an ally but at the same time he craves the throne...Morganaforever (talk) 22:08, August 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * I chose Odin because he seems more mature, self-controled and knows what he's doing which means that he must be a lot more focused in battle. Merlaa (talk) 02:12, August 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * I choose Bayard because he was falsely acquised for a crime he didnt do and before that he truley wanted to make peace with Uther. I did not chooose odin becasue he was a punk for hiring assains and even his knights to try to kill Arthur; one of those times was on Arthur's birthday, but Uther ended up being fatally wounded instead either way its a terrible fate espacially for ones birthday. And also the fact that he wanted Camelot to fall at some point, also if he was so upset why didn't he go and face Arthur or Uther himself, hmmmm.......?By:4evermerlin
 * I chose Bayard, as others have said, because he was one to fight for himself, whereas, Odin hires mercenaries to do his dirty work. By: Merganafan23 16:24:51 Aug. 08, 2012 (UTC)
 * I support Bayard as he appears to be braver than Odin as Odin hired assasins and Bayard was prepared to fight for himself! ~Merlinarthur~ 22:12, August 9, 2012 (UTC)
