[Poll] Help to name the new Riddles social group

We're creating a new riddles group, and we need your help in choosing the name!

Okay, as many of you know, we here at CDF have social groups. One of these groups is Pixie Grove. In Pixie Grove, we have a game where we post riddles, and the first person to get the riddle right, gets to post the next riddle.

However, due to a recent incident, Pixie Grove has limited to Invitation Only, leaving a large chunk of the population unable to participate in the game. We felt that this wasn't fair, as many people seem to like the game, and we wanted to create a more welcoming atmosphere to play the game. Because of this, we decided to create a new group dedicated to the game of Riddles. Of course, we need a name for this new group, and this is where you all, the good members of CD Freaks, come in.

This is a single-choice poll. Alternate names MAY be submitted in posts, but we would like you to attempt to only choose from pre-defined options in the poll to simplify things. However, if, by write-in, an alternate name gets more votes than anything on the initial poll, we will go with that name. EDIT: If you submit a nomination or vote for a name NOT ON THE LIST, be sure to post that name in bold.

A reminder: The preferred end date for this poll will be this coming Friday, July the 11th [4 days from this post]. In the event of a tie, we will have a tie-breaker [not currently known how the tie breaker might go, though].

So cast your votes now and let your voices be heard!

Re: [Poll] Help to name the new Riddles social group

One traditional way of beginning riddles is to say "Riddle Me This"

I would prefer that to the choice "Riddle This"

Re: [Poll] Help to name the new Riddles social group

I'm going to break my "not posting on the forum" rule just this once to suggest that maybe, instead of changing the name, the old one should be deleted, and the new one be given the same name, in honour of the original group / creator?

Put simply, does the name really have to change?

Re: [Poll] Help to name the new Riddles social group

Well... there's some good stuff in the old Pixie Grove, which is why I personally don't like the idea of deleting the group and all its messages.

Re: [Poll] Help to name the new Riddles social group

I personally wouldn't want to mess with the way Pixie Grove was/is. PG wasn't initially meant to just be a riddle haven; it was meant to be a hangout where anything could be done, but riddles took over. And, as Drage says, there is a lot of good stuff there outside of riddles.

Creating another group dedicated to riddles leaves Pixie Grove intact, gives it the chance to be its own group [as well as it can be], and lets us continue with the Riddle game in its own dedicated area that's open to the public. Of course we will remember the new group's roots, however. Please believe that PG [and our favorite currently-absent pixie, Shellie Mae] will be honored as it [they] should.

Re: [Poll] Help to name the new Riddles social group

Maybe some more name suggestions...?

I personally came up with Riddle This, but a change to Riddle Me This is cool too IMO

But it looks like Riddlers' Cave is in the lead!

Re: [Poll] Help to name the new Riddles social group

So far, by the posts, it appears that "Riddle Me This" has 6 votes (and the lead).
One person recanted their vote for Riddle Cave, and I recanted my for Riddle This.

Re: [Poll] Help to name the new Riddles social group

It seems that some who voted for Riddle This have jumped ship to Riddle Me This which wasn't a poll option?

In hindsight, if this had been a public poll, we could see who had voted for what so that we could get an exact tally.

Votes for Riddle Me This:
Kerry56
diane7
Arachne
Applejack
harley2ride
Albert
7thSinger
= 7 votes

Votes for Riddle This:
6 votes
-1 Arachne
-1 harley2ride
= 4 votes

Votes for Riddlers' Cave:
5 votes
-1 diane7
= 4 votes

So Riddle Me This won with 7 votes.

Does anyone challenge this tally?
