Okay, first, what did we agree to rename this to? Second, why Thirty Xanatos Pileup come out as Thirty Xanatos Pileup?

[up] I think the second question was to try to get away from the Xanatos snowclone...as for the actual trope name, at one time it was ThirtyGambitPileup but it looks like it's been changed to Gambit Pileup...not sure when that happened.

But if I use the custom title to display it, is says that it is Thirty Xanatos Pileup. Also, didn't we have a crowner on this with negative 35?

And when did we agree to rename it at all? There was a thread, but it didn't come to a consensus. There was no consensus for a rename on the single-prop and we never had an alt-titles vote. From what I can tell, it looks like somebody just up and decided to make a unilateral change (on a trope with over 10k inbounds, no less).

Rhymes with "Protracted."
