I'm sure there's a "power" pun in there somewhere for ckd.

Power Sink?
Axis of Power?
Power Station?

There's bound to be a better one out there. Lightning Rod is better than Attractive at Night, I think.

Guardian's other notable attribute would be his tendency to flip out when wagoned (e.g. Big Love, an ongoing game that I know Thok will recognise, and I believe there's at least one more).

"Warning: Contents May Explode Under Pressure" is my first thought, but that's probably too wordy.

Unclear. Plus, in my opinion a good title isn't just about numbers. There's also humor/appropriateness. (The first part is about making people laugh when they see it, the second is if a title is honoring something that people actually care about with respect to that person.)
How many people does our site have. As in, statistically, what percent of our users should have had that 17/17 townie streak.
I've got a current 13-game streak of being town in newbie games, if anyone cares. Evidently it's not that unusual.

I suppose so, just referring to Stoofer's claim of 11 straight earlier. In other words, it's unusual but it does happen.

Nominate Lawrencelot for "Endless Love", based on his herculean modding effort in Big Love mafia.

Alternatively, "Tough Love" or "Love Hurts".

He speaks the truth.

In case anyone cares, the Green Crayons reference is explained here. Personally I'd prefer "Eats Crayons" if we're going down that track, since it at least contains a joke (sort of). :P

Not that anyone cares at this point, but I like this idea. Frankly I'd take almost anything, which is probably an indication that this is the correct choice.

Accepting my title nom for Vamp would lend credibility to my own title, thus validating the efficacy of the entire Title Fairy system.

In these troubled times, can you really afford
not
to accept it?

Note: not a complaint, I understand that assigning titles is a labour-intensive process.

Yup, that's way better.

I need to find a decent rhyming dictionary, the best alternative I could think of was "Title Hairy".

Second: Title Arbitrary
