The title is very, very, VERY good; it is as close to perfect as you can get without it being perfect and I feel like putting the title off in a search for perfection is a mistake. (That's an

Deus Ex Machina

The real missed title is Deus Ex Mastina.

Soapbox is still the best title for mastin
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen
. I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value
. I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play
?

you never capitalize The, even in a title/proper noun (unless it's the first word)

The irony in that when you given someone a title, you capitalize each letter except for words like 'a' and 'the'

it's a title, that means you capitalise things
or should your title read "Khan man" because khan is the only proper noun/adjective
Dunno. All reasonings were lost in a crash and now nobody admits to it.
I assume it's something like "Iron Man". All proper name.

If you're going to make reference to Latin, at least follow it's rules.
It should be italicized as well, I believe.
i've been unable to resist pointing out that it should be *its instead of "it's" here. :>
