I'd like the new tags: 

1.) Western

2.) Mythological

3.) Satire

I can think of only three "Old West" storygames and all are by the same writer (and edutainment). Mythological falls under fantasy pretty well and I can only think of a few truly mythological storygames. I also cannot think of a reason to have satire when we already have humor.

ok. I thought satire and humor were different, though... right?

From the Oxford dictionary, satire is "The use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues. The word comes (in the early 16th century) from French, or from Latin satira, later form of satura ‘poetic medley’." No, satire falls under humor.

oh, ok.

It takes all of two and a half seconds to add a tag though so Mythological at least sounds like a useful one, we have quite a few of those. (More in Edutainment than Fantasy iirc)

The bigger issue of course is that tags have zero function on the site.

Well what do you know, you're absolutely right! ^v^
