Title Self-Advocacy Thread

[mastina]

What is this thread for?

This thread is for scummers to advocate for a title for themselves, and for users to support(/object) to the title with (anti-)

nths

.

This is an

experimental project

, to see if the community has matured enough to be able to handle this idea without ego, without narcissism, respectfully, maturely, etc. I'm placing faith in the changed times allowing for this to be run without drama or issues;

please

don't prove me wrong.

If this project doesn't pan out for any reason (drama, community backlash, etc.), I will close this thread.

What this thread is

NOT

for:

This is not a thread to discuss Title Fairy events, policies, rules, etc. That's this thread; go there for any commentary you may have on this thread's purpose.
This is not a thread to nominate

other users

for a title. Go to the main thread for that. If you nominate titles for other users in here, I'll delete your posts.

(Actually just move it to the appropriate thread but close enough.)

This is not a thread to ask for

other users

to suggest a title for you. That's the

other

experimental thread, located here.

What are the rules for this thread?

Aside from self-nominating, all Title Fairy rules apply.
(Yes, including allowing occasional jokes, but please note the word

occasional

; keep it mostly serious, please.)
You must follow site rules.
You must not nominate off of an ongoing game.
Titles must follow site rules.
Most self-deprecating titles will not pass. I'll be softer on this rule than the main thread, but if it doesn't pass as a title someone else would give you, it probably doesn't pass for a title you give yourself.

Your title will still need to get the needed amount of support, and I still have final judgement on your selected title.
If I believe the title is just on username, apply equally to a large number of people, or will loose relevance very quickly, I will still veto the title.

The Process:

Any user who strongly believes they have a good, solid title for themselves creates

one

post where the advocate it. Think of it as a case in a mafia game, or a nomination in the scummies thread, or even a nomination in the normal title fairy thread. Except this one, you get one, and only ONE, post. If you mess up your title advocacy, too bad. That's it. That's all you get.

A user may only have one title self-nominated at any given time. If you change your mind on a nomination, you need to make it clear (ideally, striking it through) before making another nomination.

Users may

nth

titles nominated. They may not provide reason.

If the title gets enough nths, and if I approve of the idea, the title will go through, just like a normal title would.

I still just want to accept this:

Ok, I nominate 'Dispersion of Insight' for Prism. She constantly provides insightful feedback. For example, she gave me feedback in Newbie 2079 on my townplay. She helped me realise why Mafia claimed Jailkeeper over Doctor. She also provided feedback to MargotRosa on her scumplay. Prism was the one who told me about RQS. She also provided feedback to Gamma Emerald in Mini 2221 (or was that criticism?).

Alright so most titles aren't gonna be accepted this quickly, but in this case,
-I already liked the idea,
-It already received a lot of support,
-That support is still present,

So like: instant approval.

Most will be much slower than this.

So I have no clue who has it but apparently there's not one but two people with the actual title of 'Goon'.

[mastina]

So… way back when I actually got my title Mastina suggested “For Whom the Bell Trolls” for me and I honestly liked that better.

I'll give this within 48 hours if nobody objects.

About that.

I'm getting an error for the 'assign title' area, so I can't do that right now.

That's a bug I need to report, so can't give out titles 'til it's fixed.

[mastina]

I wonder if the issue is something to do with me having a banner, though, so you might want to try with someone else if someone else needs a title update.

No, it's not you; the instant I went to the 'title fairy' tab, which is needed for any user.

I can manage ranks, adding, editing, deleting them.

But I can't assign ranks to anyone because the menu gives the error code.

ahem cough cough shuffles papers wrings hands hi hello im so sorry for the intrusion did the statute of limitations on commenting on one's own title pass if not i will solemnly accept the consequences but was the title bug fixed and also was there any sort of official judgment made on my goon campaign as the one comment you made on it seemed to be rather ambiguous and lastly i would like to express my appreciation for morning tweets post which made me laugh when i first read it but i was too afraid to say this for fear that it would be interpreted as a rule breaking additional advocacy

I’ll check when next able to.

And will give it--I have an idea on how to reliably award it, assuming that I can.

[mastina]

(Also will give the Jingle title at same time.)

[mastina]

Sonofabitch it's still not fixed. Sorry folks.

I promise I'll give titles when the site actually lets me.

Is this still working

If you have something to advocate, yes!
