i like Best Shot, but in that sense is sounds more like trying one's hardest and not necessarily succeeding.
i do like the theme of reliability/backup that both of the suggested titles have displayed. the concept is good, the wording might need work.
not that i have a better suggestion.

it fits the godlike image, sounds better than "deus ex machina" for a few reasons, is a nod to his program (and yes i would call that a big part of his presence, as he is still a programmer in other contexts besides his meta program, and it's referenced enough to be title-worthy all on its own regardless of how much he actually turns to it), and it fits his persona.

deus ex machina is fine, but i think
god from the machine
is less encumbered by the pop culture usage of the latin phrase.

Psyche gets me. the english is nice because the word god has power. but deus ex machina is fine as a title if that's what the majority wants.
i don't think there needs to be a pun when the phrase itself fits Elli so well. and when i read that last paragraph without reading the entire post, i actually expected a joke.

If you're going to make reference to Latin, at least follow it's rules.

It should be italicized as well, I believe.
i've been unable to resist pointing out that it should be *its instead of "it's" here. :>

SleepyKrew's title isn't clear enough, a user wouldn't know what job he did without reading his title fairy thread. :>

but for real, the pun is pretty good. and "no username puns" is a rule i don't personally agree with, so for me it's up to Psyche on that.

i haven't read the whole thread so this may have been mentioned beforehand, but "the more the merrier" to me also has meaning as referencing Maria's friendly personality and (at least in my experience) welcoming nature.

It's a moment in time. A particularly good one. Same with Reck's title. If you're new, you don't get the context but it was just voted the best title on site.
this was a joke about Postie's post.
