A coat of arms is a good one to have too.

I feel things of this nature might be changeable upon a win, popular vote,
or some other period of time.  Would allow for some theming or strange fun.

Taking a sentence from Rule 105:

# If the title is not specified, the Rulekeepor may select any title e
# sees fit.

it appears that the title of the game, being no longer specified, is up
to the Rulekeepor's discretion.

Archduke Agora never had a title before -- it had a name.  And the
name ought to be up to the parent...

 "I see no reason to let this get bogged down; there are no
 precedents or rules that cover this situation, so I think we
 may as well begin directly Proposals for new rules are
 invited. In accordance with the rules, these will be
 published, numbered and distributed by me at my earliest
 convenience."

which First Speaker Michael Norrish seems to be.  So the name really
should be up to Michael Norrish's discretion.  What?  You say e's the
Rulekeepor too?

Woot.  I can give the game the title "Yoyo" again.
