    Sir Postalot?

    can we get a different name for this level please? i so don't like being called a Sir...

    and if you're not gonna change it, then i want equality... so that some level all the guys are called Lady something...

    "Sir" has always been an honorific denoting knights. Historically, only males could be knights, hence the honorific, with their partners being labelled "Lady". You want true equality? Accept the one honorific for both genders!

    Actually I agree with "Lady" Luth... but lets also be fair... why not remove the gender based salutation altogether...

    Just make it PostsaLot and leave it at that?

    Who cares?
    Catwalk's crusade for legalized cheating was a stunning success, with ghettos and low-tiered teams everywhere losing their wells of knowledge to better kingdoms in the process.

    Step one: replace everything that works.
    Step two: blame the predictable epic fail on outside forces.
    Step three: keep the community informed that no progress has been made since the last update.
    Step four: thank you for your patience.

    oh just go away, first off, i was just trying to put a little bit of humor in it. but i'm sure if all the guys had to be called Lady something they wouldn't be real happy about it, so why should i be happy to be called Sir?

    i don't like it. and i don't think any of the other titles are gender based, so why this one?

    A knight was superior to a lady in all ways possible at the time.
    Ergo, you being called sir is a compliment.

    Now, hush - this is as minor and useless as complaining that we're referred to as 'knights' in-game, as opposed to 'sir.'
