This was the fastest case of pressure from the people accomplishing something since GDR people spent their Monday evenings chanting, "Wir sind das Volk"!

Finally! I had anticipated davem's being a Ghost Prince and expected that as soon as he becomes one, he shall have a personal title.

But why so dark a title, I wonder?

And about the plural thing, I guess it would be quite appropriate, considering the depth and range of his thought equals that of many ordinary people combined!

Yes, I also wondered why so dark a title. But it's very melodic, it's meant to be an assonance, right? You can't change it to Ulair without destroying a bit of that rhythm. Maybe this will persuade you

I know! But now you see what happens when you rush me. It's all very well demanding people to be hasty, but trouble always comes of it

Somehow I see this situation as an exemption to the rule...

If H-I can be five wizards, you can be a plurality of Naz.
