>>> 
>>> Why thank you

> **u/traverseda** [+2]  *With dread but cautious optimism* (12 hours later)
> 
> I really want something like "Culture: With dread but cautious optimism". Is there any reason why you're not just opening the whole thing up? It worlds alright for us over at /r/3Dprinting.

>> **u/None** [+1]  (20 hours later)
>> 
>> Let me figure out the setting for that.
>> 
>> EDIT: There is now a "Custom Flair" template you can edit yourself.

>>> **u/traverseda** [+1]  *With dread but cautious optimism* (23 hours later)
>>> 
>>> Yay!

> **u/PeridexisErrant** [+1]  *put aside fear for courage, and death for life* (43 minutes later)

>> **u/None** [+1]  (50 minutes later)
>> 
>> Isn't that thinking a bit highly of yourself?  You don't meet the Bright Morningstar every day.

>>> **u/PeridexisErrant** [+1]  *put aside fear for courage, and death for life* (an hour later)
>>> 
>>> Is there anyone so wretched that they don't?

>>>> 
>>>> I meant in full material manifestation, not, you know, concealed in normal life forms like most of the Bright Powers always are 99.999999% of the time.

>>>>> That is a little less common, even for those who serve... but it doesn't have to be flashy to count.

>> **u/None** [+2]  (3 hours later)
>> 
>> Adding a bunch based on Neal Stephenson and Vernor Vinge now.

>>> **u/BT_Uytya** [+1]  *The Laundry* (4 hours later)
>>> 
>>> Damn, they are good.
>>> 
>>> What about something *Baroque Cycle*-related, like "Royal Society"? (Also, we surely should have something related to Scott Bakker, the man who can talk about cognitive psychology in language of Tolkienesque high fantasy)

>>>> **u/None** [+3]  (22 hours later)
>>>> 
>>>> I'd be hesitant to use Royal Society (even though I really appreciated Quicksilver) on account of it being a real thing. But that's just me.
>>>> 
>>>> For the people who liked Anathem, here are some potential flairs to use:
>>>> 
>>>> * Concent of Saunt Muncoster
>>>> * Concent of Saunt Edhar
>>>> * Ringing Vale
>>>> * Concent of Saunt Rambalf
>>>> * Concent of Saunt Baritoe
>>>> * Procian
>>>> * Halikaarnian
>>>> * Rhetor
>>>> * Incanters 
>>>> * Lorite
>>>> 
>>>> I wouldn't recommend these all being added to the default options. To its own idiosyncrasies (mostly the con-langs) Anathem provides a lot of stuff to identify with.
>>>> 
>>>> For the Snow Crash people:
>>>> 
>>>> * Cosa Nostra Pizza
>>>> * Mr. Lee Greater Hong Kong
>>>> * Neuro-linguistic Hacker
>>>> * Kourier

>>>>> **u/SohumB** [+2]  *Procian* (a day later)
>>>>> 
>>>>> Oh man, I would wear a Procian flair _so hard_. Lorite, too. 
>>>>> 
>>>>> [Edit] I have shamed my math, for not noticing the practical benefits of the _editable_ text box.

>>>> **u/None** [+1]  (4 hours later)
>>>> 
>>>> That would mean I have to go and read more Neal Stephenson books.  This is enjoyable, but *extremely* time-consuming.
>>>> 
>>>> Mind, plenty of those factions I got off TVTropes.  So *huh.*

> **u/Empiricist_or_not** [+1]  *Aspiring polite Hegemonizing swarm* (4 hours later)
