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.

There's a 1.26% chance of being pro-town in 13 newbies in a row, Ergo. So yeah, I'd say it's unusual.

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

That's the funny thing. There's so many possibilities for unusual-ality.

Fits with the whole Cassandra Complex thing and his need to say "well, I don't know, but

I'm not interested in having my title changed. I'm actively against having my title changed to that.
I personally don't get why people want to change MOS's title every three months or so. I'll bug MOS about it, although I think his post 330 makes his feelings about the new title suggestions clear.
Added Rishi's title to the list
Nominate K-Scope for "Math is boring"
The following seem like good ideas but I personally think they could use more discussion
Claus-Making a list
Sarcastro-More like SarcastPOPE
Guardian-Cross Killah
Lawrencelot-Mafia Scuum
I'm not personally a fan of Self-Stoofer for Mr. Stoofer. Maybe something about how his mafia games always seem to have some sort of twist?

Law's is very clever, and subtle, I like it.
Guardians is awesome, though I already seconded it so y'all knew where I stood on it.
Open 61 was a good game, and it really has to be a record that Guardian made one post and killed two scum. This in itself deserved some kind of recognition, but the hilarity surrounding it because of Killah Nine made it that much better.
Claus's seems good, and everyone will get it.
I don't see why sarc needs a title change, and I don't really get the proposed new one.

Claus's title suggestion is bland an unimaginative. I thought name-based titles were frowned upon anyways?
