When we decided to develop and maintain a blog for the purposes of communicating with our players, we were stuck with the one last detail, “what the heck should we name it?” So, we decided to throw it back to our players, and for the first couple weeks we held our “Name our Blog” contest.

The feedback was simply amazing, having over 161 entries that the staff deliberated on. Our process was that we would all pick our top five names, trade lists, and see what was popular between us. Although it sounded good in theory, when it came time to compare, we noticed that we had a difference in tastes.

However, we did decide on the top 5 finalists, you have voted, and scores are tallied. It was a very close race, with the top two entries being neck and neck the entire time. Luckily, there was a winner (there was no contingency plan if there had been a tie), so here, officially, the Bingo Vega Blog will now be known as…

Vega Vine

This submission was sent by our own “Trish2997″ and received 34 votes as well as the tip prize of $100! A round of applause please for our winning entry!

As I’ve said, it was a close contest, but there could be only one winner. I’d like to send out my sincere appreciation for all that contributed to naming our blog. Congratulations to all runner ups who’ve received their prizes of 20BBs!

Below is a summary of the contest’s results:

• Trish2997 won $100 CASH for her suggestion “Vega Vine”… WTG!
• Grin won $20 BB for suggesting “Vega News & Views”.
• Cathaswings won $20 BB for suggesting “Vega Station”.
• Mermaidcutie won $20 BB for suggesting “Galaxy Blog”.
• Fijiboy won $20 BB for suggesting “Vega Comm”.

I would like to welcome everyone to the Vega Vine. Stay tuned for a new banner graphic reflecting this change, and for more contests to come. Thanks everyone!
