Hm, The Mediator is close, but I think it's too close to a diplomat type of character.

Maybe The Arbiter or The Assessor.

Hm, I like The Assessor for some reason. It has the right feel as the normal reaction is that The Logical One and The Emotional One make arguments against each other and the one in the middle decides between the two. It's still not there for me though, I suspect this has to do with trying to say that it's between two other points. Balancer Of Logic And Emotion?

I worry that a name like The Logical One might work when compared to The Emotional One and The Whatever One, but not so well on its own.
What happened to the Logical Alien idea? Should it be put up on YKTTW?

Looked at the wicks: The McCoy has 418, The Kirk 500 and The Spock 829, which might support the idea of it being used as two different tropes. It also has only 367 inbounds since January 2011.

Well, sadly, Spock is also the most popular one of the three, too, so basing it on the numbers might not help.

Unlocking by request, but clocking.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.

Any progress here?

I wrote up a description for the new The Spock here, edit at will. I'm going to start looking through the examples, removing the ones that don't fit.

Can someone else handle the Super Ego trope description? I don't really know much about the concepts.

edit: alright, I split up the examples between ones that are for The Spock, ones that are for Super Ego, and ones that I don't know. I could use help sorting those ones - they're down at the bottom of the page.

This was a bad unlock. We'll make a concentrated effort on this later.
