some more interesting notes on why this is a one-sided stomp
the raptor claw is actually pretty dull and lacks the sharp cutting edge needed to even effectively slash. the current belief is that raptors hunted by pouncing on their prey, pinning them down, and using their body weight to hold them in place while feeding.
considering these are much smaller and weigh much less than the samurai their typical fighting style is not going to work here. and since their claws are not actually suited to slashing or cutting they won't be dealing much damage even if they do try to fight in a more conventional way.
the samurai are also going to have a longer reach with the katana. even with a 2 vs 1 advantage the raptors really have no chance.

would a discussion thread before the actual poll be a good idea? nobody really argued this until 5 hours in, and by then it was pretty much decided.
depends on what you want.
a poll is a great way to get large number of thoughtless responses. lack of a poll is a good way to get more detailed and well thought out responses but you're also likely to get far less.
