In the "title" field, I think he meant.

The mods would have to edit it from the database, considering the Rank ("title") field in the ACP doesn't take HTML, BBCode, or even newlines.

I do agree with the majority that such is a fitting title for the one who goes by the name "mastin2" and would hope that the reigning title fair agrees with the group consensus on this very important matter

When you think about it, most of his posts are probably long enough it won't even look awkward - it'll just extend his user sidebar to actually accommodate the relatively longer average length of his posts.

I would not take that title.
I am not opposed to the idea of a title that references verbosity. However, if I wanted to have verbosity as part of my title, I'd just re-activate Mastin because I have the "Unabridged" under it. Is verbosity a part of me, undeniably. Is it something I'm comfortable being titled on, no, not by itself. Heck, even "Unabridged" had more than one layer, referencing my writing.
Besides, the title joke proposed for me would stop being funny after a week or two, after which it'd just be obnoxious.

Something along these lines, though, I would take, because I literally am writing a book on mafia. (Yes, a textbook of the game of mafia. Covering essentially every piece and facet of the game that I can cram into a book, including the various 'manuals' I've created. Don't expect it any time soon, though; it's something which takes a lot of time I don't really have right now.In post 2424, The Acting Method wrote:I think it should probably be a reference to the Mastin Manuals he's constantly writing,

Nominate mastin2 for unabridged2.

No.
Yes, I know. I brought it up as a point of emphasis on why I don't want it.In post 4, InflatablePie wrote:In post 2436, mastin2 wrote:I'd just re-activate Mastinahem
*waves*
And as for the other titles--when I say "subtle", I also mean "has meaning to me" other than thinly-veiled-verbosity-title.
I consider titles to hold meaning and not be something trivial. So don't force one, least of all, one which has a focus on verbosity. And most of these titles feel forced. And focused on that verbosity. The problem as I see it is that people are going, "Hmm, let's give mastin2 a good title that involves his verbosity!" rather than "Hmm, let's give mastin2 a good title." Make sense?

Also, I realize it's generally heavily frowned upon to get involved with your own titling process, but this is mainly just to give an example of the difference between a forced trivial/short-term-joke title (most of what's been proposed) and something meaningful:
I would totally take a title along the lines of "Every word counts".
It references the verbosity, but also references the succinctness I so strongly advocate. Additionally, it references the insights I give, where everything I say holds meaning, so it's not leaving out my MD work. (Plus how I should be listened to in games.) Is it the best title, no. Is it actually a suggestion, no. But it's the type of thing I'm talking about when I say a meaningful title that has multiple layers.

I thought it was fine because of this:
I also liked the callback to the account switch (which I think is another memorable part of mastin2's persona). But if mastin doesn't like it, then never mind.Heck, even "Unabridged" had more than one layer, referencing my writing.
