After 2 years

we finally named our alien friend

We have talked about naming our alien friend so many times but it kept slipping our minds. It came up again the other day and we decided it was time to do something before we forgot again.

Initial Post

Good morning Ravers! Does anyone like free shit? 🤷 Now that we have your attention… 😏😂 We love giving stuff away when we can.

We realized that we still haven’t named our resident alien. So, instead of doing it ourselves, we’re going to make it a giveaway contest for our members; leadership excluded.

To enter, simply comment on this post with a single name suggestion. Once we have enough entries, we’ll turn off comments and pick 5, then create a post so everyone can pick their favorite by number of reactions.

Trust us: the prize will be so badass, you’ll be so glad you won and excited to show it off! — feeling excited.

Qualifying Round

So, we decided to let our members choose his name in a two part contest.

We had a lot of participation which yielded some really good name ideas. After reaching nearly 1500 members and having nearly 100 comments, we decided we had enough to move to round two. So, we turned off commenting and our leadership team decided on which 5 would move to the final round.

Final Round

We had a ton of good entries but we had to narrow it down to 5. It didn’t take us long because we were so excited after we did a preliminary graphic layout and we wanted to show it to the world. To be honest, our leadership may have been more excited than the members. LOL

The Final Round Post

Well, it’s time for the final alien round and here are the 5 names to choose from. Good luck to each entry.

We want to thank everyone for their ideas. it’s been a lot of fun and we’ll see if we can do more fun things like this in the future.

Please only pick one and don’t add any new ones, even if Faceglitch lets you. — feeling excited.

The Victory Post

My alien has a first name,
It’s U.N.T.Z.
My alien has a second name,
It’s U.N.T.Z. times 2.
Oh I love to hear him everyday,
And if you ask me why I’ll say,
Cause’ Untz has a way with R-A-V-I-N and G!!!!

Since that jingle is now stuck in your head 😂. We would like to congratulate Alta and introduce you to Untz. He’s been an integral part of 40up as our media icon, safety advocate, and DJ for a good while. Now, he has a name other than “our alien”.

We want to thank everyone who participated as an entrant or voter and hope you had as much fun as we did. We love doing these, so expect similar fun contests beginning in the very near future. — feeling festive.

The Announcement

From the beginning of the final round poll, it was obvious which name was likely going to win. Before calling a winner prematurely, we decided to comment with @everyone, which we rarely do, and see if anything changed. The leader spread their lead so we ended the voting and announced the winner.
