I think "crosskiller" is a decent start to a title, but again, there is a problem with the simplicity of it. It only counts for the 1 game, and even that instance wasn't too crazy. Something like "rouge agent" or "doublecrosser" seems more suitable in my opinion.
rouge, like the make-up?

or red agent, like commie agent, like startk?

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.

Doubt it. How many people actually read games other than their own? In particular, read them close enough to get a reference that spawns a title.

He is discussing a game in which the day/game lasts longer than it should.
Pretty sure I could point to like 50 active games in which this is the case.

Yeah, plus I've never ever heard Supremo used by a native speaker.

And its a case of too literal translation. One who hides others(as opposed to hiding hmself) in Spanish would probably not be expressed thusly.
(ocultar would be more on target, but ocultador sounds icky. Its not as natural sounding to make vbs into human nouns in spanish as it is in english more nouns to human nouns if I follow correctly. Frex obra-work of art, obrero-worker)

I think its meant to be "He calls you" or "He names you" translated into english (informal you) But the es is not needed in spanish.

If it was this more serious I'd move towards Te llamo (I call/name you) Or even siguiente (next).
Or play on the "presenting" idea. Du bist Dran.


I still move the hider sounds normal to a native English ear though.
