I tried to make a game called The Betrayer, and then I tried The Betrayal, and both times I was told the title was taken.

Doing a search for those however just pulls up one game called Betrayer (not The Betrayer). I'd like to use that title badly and it doesn't seem to exist anywhere on the site, so why isn't it letting me?

Sorry if this has already been brought up, I didn't read back through too many threads.

Here's what's already taken -

A Love Betrayed

Betrayal

Betrayal by the one you love

Betrayal Knows My Name

Betrayal Life

Betrayed

Betrayer

Hell Girl: Replaced/betrayed

Magus: Betrayal

The betrayal of a friend

The Betrayed

The Betrayer

The Great Betrayal

To betray or not to betray

Trust and Betrayal

(You'll have to come up with a different combination of your own, such a "A Betrayer; This Betrayer; That Betrayer; Ye Ole Betrayer; etc")

Personally, I would suggest "Betrayer Among Us."

This is a lot.

You are playing the betrayer in my story though, so Betrayer Among Us is a good title by itself but it wouldn't fit.

amogud 

It's an unpublished game, those don't show up when peasants search for them, but they're still in the database and reserved after someone creates them.

But, since you seem pretty committed to this theme, and the original creator of The Betrayer hasn't been around since....well whatever paleontological era it was when join dates showed up as question marks, I'll make you a deal. Post the first few pages of your storygame up through the first set of choices in this thread, and if we deem it worthy, you may have the title.

He hasn't been online since 2015 lol

Not the author of Betrayer, but the holder of the unpublished The Betrayer, whose entire site activity consists of reserving that title and then rating a single game...in 2005.

So yeah basically this new guy can have it, he just needs to log in again and prove real interest.

That makes sense, I didn't even think of games that were being worked on. I'll put my pages up soon if I can really get the title, I've just been busy with other thing and need to do some editing.

Should I put everything in one post or make them separate?

Just follow your heart.

Procedure Question: Can we use this thread to ask for titles that may be lost to long dead accounts, or should we do that kind of stuff through PMs? Or is title hunting something we should do at all?

I'll have to talk this over with the other mods. We have done this a couple of times in request, but not sure if we want to make it a regular thing.

There'd definitely be a requirement of a certain amount of quality writing or other site activity shown as a display of interest, just to keep the same thing from happening all over again

Okay. That makes sense. I'd be interested to know what the verdict is. There are a couple of titles I may be interested in having. 

Oh hey. Congrats on the featuring spot! Your new stories are actually on my list to read, so I'm pretty excited to read them.

Well I actually did enjoy reading TechNOIR a few years back, so seeing you have written more is a pleasant surprise. 

As for.playing nice...eh. I've got literally zero problems with you Chris. Solid member. In some ways an old friend that brings memories of a forgotten age of Councils and, in other ways, a reminder that I need to catch up and produce stories. Either way. Nothing for be to be testy about here. If The Lost Realm hadn't been un featured, then I would be surprised. Glad you were the one to take it down. 

Glad that's sorted!

Anyway, I wouldn't give a title to either one of you as things currently stand.

Oh, there is no question I was an arrogant braggart, and still am to some degree. I'll change that though, and at least start writing more stories. 

You as well man. It's honestly kinda cool seeing my old peers doing so well, and being more well respected here. I'll contribute. It's a matter of when to me, not if. Regardless, Mizal is right. Stories speak louder than words here. 

I mean, you do you. If making fun of someone's beliefs gets you off, go for it. 

Oh, your words spoke plenty loudly lol. All 2000+ of them.
