Lots of respect for Reck's current title's legacy, but I'll nth because this is also great. He can decline the title if it passes, after all.

Slight length concern, but that may be unfounded and I don't quite have the tools to check.

North Carolina is notably referred to as NC in the relevant song and shortening it to that would certainly help if necessary.

I think the question isn't if to go forward with this, but which to go forward with, and I think the answer is "why not both and let the titlee decide?". :P

So,
48 hours
on
The Real Friend
or
The Real Title
for
PrivateI
: (expired on 2020-11-07 03:20:41).
If you have objections to one/both, speak now or forever hold your peace.

I think "the real title" is clever but less accessible, and I really value accessibility in titles, so I would really like to see PI go with the friend version
"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?'"

I feel like friend references the user and title self-references the title. No feelings on which is better.

I encourage Monty to choose one of the options being presented as Monty doesn’t really feel like a title so much as just how he’s addressed.

The titling system is an holy gift and culture that’s persisted for thousands of years.
Norwe is spontaneous, has a stream-of-consciouness posting style, usually posts on catch-ups by commenting on past pages posts, gets rather fired up in certain moments in games, is relatively as playful as me in games and likes casual shitposting

Can we nom Nero for something like

?

Seems in line with views that new people don't deserve titles.
I've only made one good post, and don't you dare accuse me of doing it again.

I don’t think that’s an “unpopular” opinion ftr if you mean by this that we don’t have enough info on most new users?

Nom Nero

While Rome Burned
because Nero fiddled while all the old school stuff burned and Nero Cain fiddled around until all the old people were gone from the site.

Also such a Nero move to think those under him "unworthy"

Unless he’s a frequent contributer to the newbie queue, I don’t really think it makes sense. Anyway, I think you misconstrued what he was saying - that we generally don’t have a lot of info on most new players.
