You should have done the poll by giving each member the option of three votes. This way there would be overlap and you could see which titles people agree with.

Still don't see "The Haunted Taco Bell" and "Love in the Time of Covid19."

That's because the people who suggested those titles arent participating in the competition.

They "arent" as they're not allowed, or they "arent" as they were not green lighted to participate?

I see eleven possible title to vote for, so does that mean there were eleven contestants who submitted titles? But I only see four people voted so far, and Frownland is holding out till the end to cast his vote for the tie breaker. That only makes five contestants. Where are the other six?

You can always just suggest them yourself.

I've done enough suggesting. I implicitly and explicitly suggested the title, in a post and by PM respectively. I asked why it's not included.
