Dance of the Title Thread: Resurgence in wild?

[esuriospiritus]

Oh, no doubt. But something something, rewarding bad behavior.

[Ythan]

Yeah sure but I don't think there's likely to be too much harm in it, and he's certainly a recognizable face on the site. Just a thought.

words words words

Just ignore Jake. Shitting on title noms is kind of his whole schtick.

I just feel really bad for shiki. Jake can still treat her arguments with respect whether they agree with them or not.

[Jake The Wolfie]

Fine, whatever.

Nth Nancy Drew

Nth Nancy

I feel like if we came up with a title for him it might stop just my two cents every time that I've never bothered to post before.

Hufflepuff would be the perfect title

[Psyche]

afraid i don't think the nom matches my memory of nancy's play either tbh
i just haven't noticed much of what shiki's saying

i also don't think the phrase "reconsider it" connotes empathy in the way shiki outlines either

she's definitely passionate and i think a nancy title should reflect that for sure

Nom NancyDrew39 for Heaven Scent

I have known Nancy for some time and have played more than a handful of games with them. I have a hard time translating my thoughts in a way that results in an accurate understanding of my intent, but it is my privilege to attempt to put some reasoning forward on Nancy's behalf.

The way I see Nancy:
* Caring, kind-hearted, strong, bold, loyal, passionate, relentless, intelligent. *

These characteristics enable her to leave a strong impression of her character on the community. Hence the play on the word "scent" she will defend those she cares for with little regard for herself much as the Heroine does against a schoolyard bully. Which would be the "Heaven sent" part of the title.

In mafia games she often dominates the thread and could be viewed as a god send due to her relentless pursuit of her goal. She is great as both Town and Scum, though when she is off the mark as Town or pocketed by scum her dominance can also be seen as a god send to Scum who often hide behind her lol. As Town her ability to sniff out deceit is also uncanny which has scared me at least once because when she latches on it is next to impossible to get her off your trail. As Scum Nancy is able to feel genuine and is strong at emotional manipulation. I've found it is a rare ability to play well as both alignments.

I think Nancy is a beautiful spirit and fun to play mafia with, so this title fits her well from my perspective.

[Jake The Wolfie]

Anti-Nom Reconsider It!

(I object to this describing or even fitting Nancy)

Nth Heaven Scent

(This is like 83% how I see Nancy act and play.)

[Cook]

Yeah I’d need to see Cook in other non-mafia related areas of the site before I’d say that title fits

bumping but not contributing

Edit: damnit, esurio beat me to it.

Yeah sure but I don't think there's likely to be too much harm in it, and he's certainly a recognizable face on the site. Just a thought.

And when others see you can get a title for being an annoyance?

Gotta look past the immediate circumstances.

[Jake The Wolfie]

To be honest, I don't think I've done enough to deserve a title, but that's a rumination for my GTKAS thread.

I understand how incentives work but I don't think there's "likely" to be "too much harm" and that's why I used those wordings specifically.

[Ythan]

The context you might be missing is that Jake does this exact thing often enough that it itself is almost title worthy, and an end to that that makes everyone happy Jake included would be lovely.

If it's that much of a nuisance, rewarding it is even a worse idea.

Not a better one.

[Ythan]

People care a lot about these things and I think it's nice to be nice. That's basically where I'm coming from. Jake's neat. Rules are cool and fun but these rules exist to serve a greater purpose of spreading joy. You can stop trying to explain the situation I very much understand what you're trying to express. There's more to it than that and your response does not in any way dissuade me from what I intend to say.

[House]

And your insistence does not in any way dissuade me from arguing against it.

[House]

Glad that's been rehashed.

[Ythan]

Unpleasant.

[House]

Yes, droning on in repetition gets that way.

[Jake The Wolfie]

Ythan, I would reject that title because, first and foremost, it would not adequately describe who I appear to be. Hell, you could literally give me the title QBTMC and that would more adequately describe how I spend my time here than that.

I don't actively campain for the removal of all titles. I try not to be negative here. When I see a bad title, I try my very best to not rudely call it out. I think titles are good, and the people who get them should at least fit the criteria that the proposer themselves set.

If you really want me to go away, then let us both go to the moderators to see about fairly limiting my time here on the title forum. Giving me a title will not make me go away.

[House]

Nice post, Jake.

[Ythan]

If you don't want a title then I'm mistaken. I have no desire for you to go away, I wanted you to get what I thought you wanted. Despite what House keeps blathering I don't think your stickling for the way you think things should be is bad behavior.
