Title Fairy: Out With The Orca, In With The Moogle

Nominate: Sudo_Nym for "No Longer New."

I like it. I think I'm going to

. Winning the best newbie award in 2007 is the thing he stands out for to me. Only thing making me doubt is that he was actually asking for a title...

I'm really disappointed with the suggestions for DGB. If you want to make a serious suggestion for DGB, please explain why it is better then her current one. If you don't want to make a serious suggestion, why are you spamming up this thread?

Do we even have to try to be super clever about it? Let's give him "Best Newbie" permanently and everyone will be happy.

What do you mean, that's not super clever?

I definately believe that Sudo should get a title related to having had the best newbie title for two years. Some very good suggestions have been made. To add to the options:

"newbie since 2008"

to reference the fact that the only time he didn't have a newbie related title was when he actually was a newbie?

@Oman: I think it would be useful if you kept a list of all suggestions made. Pseudo_Newbie does not stand out to me as the best suggestion that has been made. However, now that it's a couple of weeks later, it's quite a bit of work to delve through the thread to find them all.

Reading back, this is what I found:

• No longer new
  
• Pseudo_Newbie
  
• Best Usedbie
  
• Best Used-To-Be
  
• Forever Young
  
• Ponce the Leon
  
• Best Newbie
  
• newbie since 2008
  
• no added preservatives
  
• Newbie Classic
  
• Newbier then You
  
• Best Newbie Forever
  
• Deus Res Novae

Out of that list, Pseudo_Newbie seems not the best one to me. It relies almost solely on the username pun, and doesn't convey to me the fact that Sudo held the best newbie title for 2 years.

Out of that list, I like "No longer new", "Best used-to-be", "forever young", "Best Newbie", and "newbie since 2008" the best. Especially the last two seem good.

@shaft.ed: what is the reasoning behind newbie since 2007? I suggested newbie since 2008 because that is when he received the best newbie title, implying that he was not a newbie (but rather townsperson, then goon, then mafia scum) in the year he joined.

[MichelSableheart]

Can we finally get a decission on a title for Sudo please? There has been general support for a title related to him holding best newbie longer then he should. I don't think giving it more time will lead to a clearer favourite, and it really would be a disappointement if he didn't get a title because there were too many good suggestions.

[MichelSableheart]

That doesn't seem like a good title, IMO. Needless nameplay, rewarding poor play, and to be frank, being scummy doesn't help you stand out of the crowd. I haven't played with him, so I can't judge how appropriate it is, but I'm not a fan.

Besides, a quick look at the linked thread seems to show me, that the problem isn't appearing scummy, but rather significantly screwing up.

@Almaster: Lots of posts, some of which have merit. You just need to find them. AKA needle in a haystack.
