Emphasis added. Your argumentation here is not very persuasive, MoS.
Lloyd made history with his self-voting. I've never even heard of UA's self-voting habit... does he actually do it in ways that affect the game, or just in place of a random vote? A quick survey only shows the latter.

Agree. UA does self vote every single random voting stage, but never to the point where he is hammering himself and never after random voting stage.

I've never heard of Lloyd's self-voting habit, so where does that leave us? If the argument hear is that UA shouldn't get the title because you (or Thok) haven't noticed it before, it's pretty weak. The same argument applied to Lloyd for other people. I've been around this site a long time, and I've never noticed Lloyd do any self-voting. But all of that is really beside the point altogether. The argument I'm seeing here is that because Lloyd apparently made self-voting his schtick, UA is
not allowed
to have that schtick as well, even though he came up with it completely independently of Lloyd. I don't really see why Lloyd being a self-voter is at all relevent to UA getting his own completely different title for it, unless Lloyd was nominated for some sort of self-voting title and got refused by the title fairy at the time (something I find unlikely, because there'd be no logical reason to refuse it).
, and therefore is more significant. UA's self-voting is just a schtick. Plus, yes, seniority has its privileges.
I wasn't arguing that UA didn't deserve the title because I hadn't heard of it; I was trying to collect data,
because
I hadn't heard of it. Then I searched his posts, and saw that it's almost always an initial vote during the "random voting" stage of the game. Not impressed.

Here Lloyd nominates UltimaAvalon for a title based on UA's often self voting.
I guess they played a game together or something and Lloyd chose to post that nomination. Either that or he read a game where UA self voted. I am not sure UA should get "Vote: UltimaAvalon" since it is so simular to Lloyd's title, but either way I think UA still needs a title for his often self voting.

17 is more then 11.
Assuming a 75% chance to be protown (which is probably high), the relevant probability is .7517, which is about 7/1000. Make it 66% chance to be protown, and you get about 1/1000.
That's a surprisingly high probability (I'd have intuitively guess a number off by several magnitudes.)
