My vote is for Demon’s Fangs, but I think it shouldn’t be pluralized. Since a scythe has a single blade, I reckon it should be Demon’s Fang. ---

I’m still gunning for the “280 character-long Blood-Letter”, but since that’s not in the poll, and the others seem somewhat tame (I feel like I’d need something with a bit more of an… ‘edge’, for a scythe) – Scythie McScytheface it is! ---

Of COURSE the best name is in the lead! Lol Looks like Scythy ftw! Ahead by A LAND SIDE! @Saltypatra is there an electoral college that is taking over the vote? Or is there a possibility that we actually get McSytheface as the name of this weapon with winning guess?! 😃 ---

43% of voters currently show no originality/think voting for a tired internet meme is funny. 🤷‍♂️ ---

It’s probably to make up for the last community poll forgetting about the forums at least once. I don’t see my fan-favorite names, “Long Pipeline” or “Automated Tool” so I’m not really into these names. Not even “Scythe Equivalent”. ---

> [@awryan](#): > > Even more of a reason why this isn’t a community weapon. But it is. The community was involved in designing the weapon, I’d even say to a great extent. As for naming the weapon, they’d be utterly daft to give full control over that to the community. They actually took the one established good approach to ask the community for name suggestions, then pick a subset of names they are okay with for the community to vote on. Saves the embarrassment of possibly having to explain why the weapon didn’t get named “Play Candy Crush, It’s Better And Costs Less”, in spite of winning by a landslide. 😛 ---

I disagree. They picked the name that they themselves liked. Then had it compete against names that they knew would lose to it. And that is our selection. Not even close. A “force” basically. ---

> [@awryan](#): > > Maybe the weapon was delayed in hopes of others like you forgetting how the forum users were left out of the step before “naming it”. Good news, my memory seems to be far better than you expect, I even remember Salty apologizing personally for messing up that step. Thank you for showing so much interest in my mental capabilities, it’s nice to know that some people still care so much these days. > [@awryan](#): > > They picked the name that they themselves liked. Then had it compete against names that they knew would lose to it. And that is our selection. They picked names (plural) that were both reasonably popular and reasonably appropriate. Going by popularity, Scythie has every right to be on that list, no matter what they might have liked themselves.
