someone played my arc and mentioned that I could use my arc title as the title of each mission and the mission title as the subtitle. I liked the idea so I did it.

anyone doing anything interesting with title, subtitle?

Also, from the G4 interview with Matt Miller, he mentioned that having a mission title is a big deal for him in reference to Dev Choice qualification.

I had an overall title and subtitles for each of three missions in my first arc (see my sig).

In my second arc, due to story reasons, they don't change for the first two but then both get thrown out the window for the third and get replaced with something like this:
(title) ------------------DO NOT WRITE ABOVE THIS LINE-------------
(subtitle)YOUR COMPLAINT TICKET NUMBER IS 9834 PLEASE WRITE THIS DOWN
(first line of text) -------DO NOT WRITE BELOW THIS LINE ------------
(then a couple of <br>s to start the normal text)

Really, there's all sorts of fun possibilities one could have with formatting the text, but I haven't seen many folks working with it yet. I'm guessing the sky's the limit and we're just starting to look up.

Unless something else seems needful for plot purposes, I always use the main title for the mission title and something beginning "Part One:" and so forth as the subtitle. E.g.

Jerk Hackers!
Prologue: This is how it starts ...

Jerk Hackers!
Part two: Gone to the Americans

Jerk Hackers!
Finale: Going for the gold!
