The poll for barbs ended with:
none 2
sedentary 3
roaming 3
restless 2
raging 4

This can be scored as winner takes all, but 4 people chose raging and 10 chose something less. I would prefer to score it using cumulative voting, in which case roaming would have 8 votes and restless 6, but I don't want this to be seen as a way to get what I want (not raging).

What do you think?

I'm confused... wouldn't roaming have nine votes? Otherwise, you're going the other way and that isn't the correct way (logic-wise).
 
just go roaming for the compromise.
