Added it to the crowner.
Right now, several of the options (including everything in green) look like dialogue titles and as such, no matter how many votes they get, they are likely to be vetoed by Fast Eddie.

Man has to learn to let live. That a trope name can be, somehow, even if squinted at, be read as a line of dialogue does not automatically make it a bad trope name and a sin of the internets. Look at Screw the Money, I Have Rules! and its variety, and the leading proposal of No Need To Call Me God here, which is also pretty concise for what the trope is about.

Personally, I don't mind the "dialogue" titles either. But unless somebody can convince him to make an exception, what's the point of pretending they are viable options?

A lot of the proposals in the crowner look like dialog. I am pretty sure Eddie will personally smite us if he finds this.

Man needs to let live. Also I'm amazed / amused that the option that has a quote yet is not dialog-like with the highest votes is zero...

<Mod Hat> No dialogue names, and that includes the current leading name, are valid choices. We are no longer allowing dialogue named tropes. </Mod Hat>

Gentleman Troper!
Would you mind if I edit the crowner to take those line-of-dialog titles out? Or does a mod need to do that?
Go ahead. Just make sure to leave an edit reason.
I thumped the dialog-like names there, but I didn't touch the "Oh My God"-"Smith will suffice" ones as I am not quite sure what they are supposed to become.

Bumping. This still needs more votes and more non-dialog trope names.

Maybe it would simplify things to create a new crowner with only the acceptable names on it, and a bold note not to add any more. Then the disqualified names won't be clogging it up.

I don't know. By this point, I would ask for the crowner and thread to be closed due to lack of consensus.

We could do an even simpler crowner that only includes the 6 acceptable names down to -5, since the others have clearly been rejected. And change the thread title to mention the new crowner.

I think we should simply restart the crowner with only the valid names in there. Most of the crowner activity was (as usual) at the beginning of the crowner, so I think it's likely that people who preferred the now-disqualified option would have voted the rest down.
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
Putting a clock here. It doesn't seem there's any consensus on the crowner.

All those names are pathetic IMHO, in particular Unintentional Deification. They read like laconics, not like trope names. At least Answering To "Oh My God" is impersonal and reads like it is about the trope.
