also would be my choice, it might not be factually accurate but dammit it sounds cooler.

If I were Vi I would choose EGOTistical specifically because it's more interesting and would generate more discussion and it's for the same thing except it's funnier and a cute little self jab, it would be exactly the type of title I would want

Too much negative connotation surrounding Egotistical. I like the EGOT thing.
Metatron is better than Gabriel. Gabriel is too subtle. Although I feel Metatron itself is too "heaven". Herald of ___ might be better?
EGOTist doesn't only mean EGO-tist, it could also mean AWARDWINNER-ist, which is more of what Vi's known for. Vi doesn't really have that much of an ego either, which makes the joke even better. Really though, the perfect tie in is the EGOT thing. Which I have never heard of, but it's pretty brilliant.

You can argue this all day but unless someone has knowledge of the EGOT thing when the see Egotistical they will think of its literal meaning first.
I don't think you can really deny the psychological implications.
By the power invested in me by a possibly drunk Oman and these fancy dancy wings I hereby give Mr.Flay the title of
Metatron

I didn't chose the title fairy life, the title fairy life chose me.

As I outlined when I took over the new process is extremely simple and streamlined, I'm just here to do the final paperwork. After people finalize one or two variation for a title it only takes me about ten minutes of work to make a call, pm the recipient and setup the custom title. I have no qualms about increasing the rate at which we give out titles. I think of the whole title fairy business as a fun, community driven side event for the site rather then some super serious and prolonged process.
