Yeah "Lo and behold" is just like, a phrase. Maybe a bit out of use at this point, but it doesn't make me think of magic shows..?we're all made of stories | remember to take your b12 | sign up for a GTKAS thread! (request access here)

last laugh sounds too much like it's just about scumplay.

I still vastly prefer XLo to ELo, although I admit I’m probably the minority there.
+1
I’m not sure what’s wrong with trying to please everyone if the end result is that the person getting the title can choose a title they like, tbh.In post 2429, animorpherv1 wrote:I'm very eh on Last Hurrah. I get it, but to me it feels like it's trying to please everyone.This is a Parachute.-

To me, Elo and Behold and variants feel more forced, and "Last Laugh" would be a better title for someone who is more of a comedian. Last Hurrah feels more organically like what the original nom was trying to captureIn post 2429, animorpherv1 wrote:I'm very eh on Last Hurrah.

did someone say unwanted opinions are wanted ~
nth last hurrah
this is kinda generally/holistically on point but flicks off the tongue a fair bit less than last laugh
may be worth mentioning like fwiw, i guess that skitter tends to not just be very good at both alignments but literally victoriously endgame as both alignments
they're both good nom/variations
elo and behold is also like, reasonable, but very different, imo

I like the alliteration and I don’t think it’s geared towards scumplay but more just towards skitt’s excellent play as both alignments in endgames, also her meticulous planning for endgames when scum meaning that even if she foresees herself going down she can still set her team up to win
Also, if still relevant, I didn’t check timingsnth Best in Class for Isis"we knew everything... And we knew nothing."-

Im nominating Marashu for the titleGamblers Fallacy
This guys mafia history consists of 4 newbie games and an open game with a 3scum/10town setup; yet he hasfailed to roll town till now.
To put that into perspective, the odds of that ocurring are 16/28231, 0.0562766%, 0.000562766 in 1, 1 in 1777 or 3.34 standards deviations over the mean in a normal distribution.It is a rare ocurrance.
About how well this can evolve, it is still a good joke that evokes a players first games on the community, and is one of those things that, when asked about the title, can lead to a good anecdote to share.
So I find it overall a good title; lets see what the rest of the community thinks of it.
(For those of u that dnt know, The gamblers fallacy is in general terms believing that previous results of independent distributions can alter the probabilities of further results, like thinking that for getting 3 heads when tossing a coin it is either less likely to get more heads, cause it "must return to the mean", or more likely to get more heads)Played inNewbie 1992,Newbie 1997,Newbie 1999,Large Normal 227,Newbie 2006,Open 784,Open 787,Newbie 2019, Open 790, Newbie 2022.
Currently playing in Open 794, Newbie2028.

It doesn't say anything about Marashu; he had no control over his alignment.
We wouldn't title someone for being exactly the thousandth registrant on the site, either, or at least I hope we wouldn't."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
