The Poopsmith Speaketh

What should we do about the Poopsmith? I agree that we should not give away the surprise. However, none of the solutions that have been used and reverted are perfect. I still think that this is so far the best solution, but it will not work for all users. Some people will be able to see the name of the speaker, even if it's not tagged as a voiceover. Having names only shown for voiceovers is an option set by default. But completely deaf people will probably choose names over colours. However, using something like "leadsinger" first and then "poopsmith" will confuse these users as well. They will not see that it's the same person singing. Does anybody have an idea how to solve this? (And obviously, please post here before applying the changes directly to the subtitles) Loafing 11:17, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't aware that there was a setting to show the name regardless of voiceover or not. That IS a conundrum... Is there a way to make it the poopsmith's color without it being tied to the poopsmith until that point? — Defender1031*Talk 11:22, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm, colours are also an option set by default :-p And there are so many colours, I doubt that the poopsmith's colour is distinctive enough. Loafing 11:25, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Let me rephrase: Is there a way to have it act exactly like the poopsmith is talking for the first 3 lines, aside from it actually SAYING "The Poopsmith"? — Defender1031*Talk 11:28, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
