Nah. I don't think Agreed With is better. Just a trifle TOO literally on point. Agreeable is smoother and more elegant and a more subtle hat tip to the meme. The fact that it doesn't quite hit the nail on the head is actually a bonus imho. It kind hits the new person after they see their fifth "I agree with Yosarian2" smiley sign. :)

Along that vein though, I'd go for "You Agree With..." which would at least be funny in a way.

I don't like Potentate at all (no offense, Adel).

I like shrug too. So if it doesn't change, no big deal. I think Agreeable is perfect for him though. Don't see what's wrong with it. There's actually lots of titles I don't find particularly "clever". I like it more when they are fitting. And Agreeable is very fitting for Yos2. Perfect really.

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.

Go vote on whether Ucking Aggot is appropriate, since the issue is, again, will it offend people.
