Title Fairy: Abuse of Mooglepower!

[Vi]

This should be fun.

Quoting this for more truth than the old thread had room for.

[Vi]

CONTROVERSY:

Nominate dramonic for Big Gay Fluffy Owl

Second word is obvious.
Other words are av-based, but I can attest that all of dramonic's avs since he joined have been owls.
Not punny or deeply meaningful, but it was previously acknowledged in some thread or another that forumgoers identify him as precisely what the title says.

[Vi]

Oman - Rainbow Robot Cthulhu.

[Vi]

Oman - Rainbow Robot Cthulhu. Were there enough people that really want to get back into this?

See ReaperCharlie's post.

[Vi]

I find it amusing that a whiny argument over titles has erupted and I'm not in it.

"Fat and sassy" isn't particularly unlike UT's site presence, and it has been approved by the significant number of people for whom it would hold meaning. That's all.

What about Reck's title? Are you saying that GD threads are more "real" and "official" than scumchat, so it's kosher?

Actually, it's my understanding that that IS the policy.

[Vi]

War huh God good y'all what is it good for? absolutely nothin

say it again

all we are saying
is give war a chance

@Faraday: Yes I did. My post is better for it.

[Vi]

Unless there was some reason for lacking the ñ, I have fixed DGB's title to be proper Spanish.

Thank you

I think the only way to solve the current problem is that anyone with a title must have a schtick to explain said title to anyone who may read their post and not realize why the title is there. If the title bearer fails to uphold their schtick, then they lose the title

I already suggested this

You could, however, make the title a link to either the event for which the title was given OR the post in the Title Fairy thread where the title was explained.

[Vi]

I actually think that the three scummies are bigger than her avatar.

They're not.

I wanted to be the one to say this It's 94 pixels high.

Hold on, let me fix that.

[Vi]

Oh man.

That is so win. And yeah, where's your Paragon?

I guess I could throw that in but that would involve more effort than hotlinking Hoopla's scummies
I was hoping I could catch the cake too but that was a separate image.

So Vi's title changes to 'Best town mechanic behind the scenes' next year then right? >_>

"Best Town Professor Paragon Mechanic Behind the Scenes".
If I keep going with this my title will either take up three lines or stretch the sidebar across half the page.

[Vi]

Pretty sure your old Professor Paragon scummy image is still around somewhere, if that's what you're after...

Don't encourage me to start messing with the site to see what I can get into.

.. again

If you could PM that to me, I can get the Internet equivalent of a photo op and go back to Anton.

[Vi]

hens?

also: cocks

[Vi]

Oman: Is Sotty7 That Damn Good yet?

Since it got community approval at least a month ago and everything.

Also can Kublai Khan be Khan Man yet?

Puns and username repetition aside it's the best title suggested for him by a wide margin, there are multiple games where the title suited him very well (that one where he claimed Miller D1 without knowing about being investigated N0, and that one where he killed his scumpartner), and etc.

I'm not sure if the fact that all Kangaskhans are female is a plus or minus for the title.

[Vi]

I thought something for Percy too in the previous thread.

Rainbow Robot Cthulhu.

YES.

[Vi]

Joke titles getting through while serious titles are shot into the dirt. Titles are srs bsns.

To be more direct, Khan Man should happen.

I endorse this product or service.

@KK 814: Is that supposed to be a reference to "no case"?

[Vi]

*notices Rainbow Robot Cthulhu is getting ignored*

[Vi]

The Flavour Out of Space was better anyway.

If by "out of space" you mean it's too large to fit in the margin.

[Vi]

Denying NordIC because I will always tack "Track" onto the end of it.

Bloody infomercials <.<

[Vi]

This is the sort of cheesy title I can support.

Third

that

[Vi]

nominate Nobody Special for It's Midnight Somewhere

This is clever enough to second if NS doesn't mind.

[Vi]

Second. That one slipped by in a hurry.

I don't recall your title being related to anything except your username.

Your recollection is faulty.

[Vi]

Well? I'm waiting.

This and other things that have happened since.

[Vi]

Does Seraphim have a talent for creating crazy setups? <-- not rhetorical

I hadn't thought of it before, but you tell me.

[Vi]

Nominate hohum for Uncle Potbear

2nd

+1 support
This is one of those titles I would find funny even without knowledge of what it's about.

[Vi]

Why isn't Korts "That Other Guy"?

[Vi]

Really, Uncle Potbear is getting laughs? What the hell, folks?

Who else will you

ever

call Uncle Potbear?
Who else will

we

ever call Uncle Potbear?
Do you deny that he

is

Uncle Potbear?

[Vi]

A lot of the capitalization in recent titles is b0rked.

Here is: Currently -> Fixed

Magna:

Has Been Killed Night 1

->

has been killed Night 1

Faraday:

...Should I Be Here?

->

...should I be here?

Also, this one is improperly written, and has been for years:

Kast:

tl,dr;

->

tl;dr

Also, whatever happened to

Hammerhead

for SharkFinn?

Make it happen, Cap'n!

What is your major malfunction, kid? Seriously, do you not understand when shit just isn't going your way? Sometimes things don't work out perfectly for little Charles, and when that happens you don't complain and fight it every goddamn post until everybody breaks down and buys you your icecream, you shut up and say "you know maybe there is a BIGGER PICTURE than what I want".

Get over yourself, dude.

To be fair and at risk of provoking you, ReaperCharlie is very much correct in this regard.
The first two make an aesthetic difference; the one for Kast suggests that the person putting in the title doesn't actually know about tl;dr.

[Vi]

Also, did RC kill Oman's mom or something o.o?

Reaper

Charlie

Also SleepyKrew is correct in 1535.

[Vi]

I listen to Vi, and Vi and I almost never agree.

What's scary about this is that Mr. Flay famously also doesn't agree with me... and I'm pretty sure everyone else with power onsite doesn't either.

Rare as it is for me to agree with RichardGHP, I think "has been killed Night 1" and "was killed Night 1" are honestly interchangeable.
I don't use either phrase in my games, so etc.

[Vi]

I read MagnaofIllusion's title and I do get the meaning of it.
However, it isn't a very good title this way.
It would be far nicer to play in a game with MoI with the text:

Will be killed night 1

That way, the past tense doesn't refer to nothing (since it can't mean anything apart from endgame)

I sense a ConSpiracy to cause time paradoxes in the (hypothetical, mythical) games where Moai

isn't

killed N1.

[Vi]

Eehm, isn't there a timeparadox as well when he is playing in a game if not killed night 1? He still is alive then, as well.

Yes but then you can begin every response to him with "I thought you were dead".

[Vi]

Nominate internet stranger for

So strange

Because he's been here since 2002 and he still hasn't got a title. Than people don't notice him. That means he's strange.

Ironically enough, this is one of the few instances where the original suggestion seems better than those that have thusfar followed it.

I don't want to sound contrary but I will do everything in my power to prevent this title suggestion from becoming a reality.

[Vi]

Second Parody of Mafia Hunters

, plus three people who forgot the bold tags.

[Vi]

I would like to nominate Hiraki for the title

hmmzorz

. That is kind of his schtick and it is something that I identify with him. Whenever I see that I know for sure who's post I'm reading (obviously I know it's him without it but you know what I mean).

I feel like

Bwahaha!

is more fitting for Hiraki. He has that arrogant style posting, yet he retains a sense of originality and helpfulness laughing off the bad ideas, tunneling, etc.

I try not to do this

but these are both just awful.

What exactly is awful about mine?

I played a game with Hiraki and I wouldn't associate that with him really.

[Vi]

Would also approve of

Glad Hatter

.


Either is great.

+1

This.

Actually,

Glad Hatter

is slightly better.
I am concerned that once the relevant game ends, the party (and source of this title) will end too though. :\

Unlike Bruce Springsteen and Lord Gurgi I don't care for glory days, but for some reason this suggestion for shaft.edward seems medio.cre.

[Vi]

To be fair, even though he missed the discussion pretty badly Robocopter isn't wrong in 1993.

[Vi]

I don't think that was an improvement, LLD.

Also your new name is "Tea Partier", you right-wing activist.

[Vi]

Internet Stranger -

Parody/Paragon

Yeah I wanna see more on this if it's going to happen. At least deliniating between the two.

Adding one vote for Parody of Mafia Hunters.

Magna -

has been killed Night 1

OMG abuse of power

[Vi]

ITT people have not played or read a game with Internet Stranger in it?

[Vi]

IS

played by sense of smell

before AniX liked Scully.

There has to be a twist.

For such an old scummer he's got such a supple wrist.

How do you think he does it?

[Vi]

Nominate Fate for :RAGE:

Everything else that has been said is inferior to the Who references that were going on a few pages ago.

[Vi]

FluffduLlama's suggestion is superior, etc.

[Vi]

HAPPY fits but only for those that UNDERSTAND my mind aka select few. Even Vi (who wrote the explanation on the wiki titles) doesn't have it.

To be fair, I begged people to correct me when I (evidently) slighted their forum heritage on that page.

I think we both know whether I understand your mind.

[Vi]

The Architect

The Architect of

Doom

.

Questions about my play aside, "Professor Paragon" has a nice alliterative ring to it. As long as the title sounds as good or better than that, I can settle for anything. ("The Librarian" doesn't qualify as sounding as good or better.)

I'm a little disappointed in zoraster's (on occasion completely accurate!) description of me as bitchy. Of late, the nice/cooperative approach hasn't been my first choice, especially if I felt that I had to convince someone of something. I'll see if I can work on that.

[Vi]

Just ftr. Vi as in viper, Or Vi like the sound in Eevee?

Much like how you pronounce "Vig", that's up to you.~

[Vi]

Note that this is pretty much the only thing Vi and I have agreed on in forever

I don't know what it is, but I always wind up on the other side of the table from you and Mr. Flay.

...and usually Empking, and often zoraster... probably a bunch of other people too...

[Vi]

For a minute, I thought Vi was telling us his name was pronounced V(shwa). I don't know how to represent that on the keyboard.

Və

I think he was really saying "say it however you want."

That's right.

[Vi]

Vi as in Vig..

Vi me now?

ViMePlz

[Vi]

I don't think the title makes sense without the cock.

...I didn't just post that.

[Vi]

penis

Just because things are being forced doesn't mean you have to be a dick about it.

[Vi]

I'm concerned future employers might eventually find or ask me to disclose any or all of my internet accounts.

I'm asking this in the name of honest curiosity, but do you know how prevalent this practice is?

(If the answer is "very", well... etc.)

[Vi]

It depends on the job. Government jobs that require a security clearance? They may very well do so. Your average employer? Very unlikely to actually ask you to list internet accounts. That's not to say they won't google the crap out of your name though.

This. Its possible I may go into such a job in the future. I'm not sure the exact likeliness, but its better than 0.

The practice is becoming more prevalent though, and is not limited to just government employers. That being said, my brother (police) had to, and I'm sure I will eventually have to as well.

For a security clearance I can understand it. For a police department it just reminds me of this. For everyone else I have to wonder how much they want to know about your personal life (it's easy enough to find co-workers backbiting with simple facebook searches for their name).

Also, what Xalxe said.

[Vi]

Somehow I just don't think LLD wants "Bandwagoning Ho" as her title. I've been wrong before on things like this, but etc.

Pretty much everyone who has seen Umineko has tried red text before.

[Vi]

I want to nominate LLD for

Rat in a Cage

, because despite all her rage, nobody really listens to her.
Somehow I don't think she wants that one either though. >_>

It's so true >_>

Cat in a Rage?

This was the best post in the last three pages, and I missed it the first time

Nominate LLD for that

just because.

Somehow I get the impression that nobody will take any title for Umbrage except

possibly

Second Coming of Charlie

.

[Vi]

Nominate TSQ for "Lighten Up, Dammit"

Because it fits his new forum persona much better

Second

[Vi]

from the last page of the thread i'd say this whole process is dead but on the off chance it isn't

ouman, could you be wonderful and reset my title to 'Mafia Scum'
i don't feel my present title represents me as a user like it should or whatever

NOT THAT IT DID

What did your title mean?

Place a "y" in the middle of "cake" and see if that helps.

[Vi]

[19:52] Faraday: Why isn't Tierce's title 'Cache me if you can' yet? :-\
[19:53] Vi: ...because nobody has suggested it
[19:53] Vi: ...yet
[19:53] Faraday: I just wanted to work a leonardo di caprio film into a title and that one works
[19:53] Vi: ...wait, what

Nominate Tierce for (etc.)

Pretend she has 100 ingame posts that still exist.

[Vi]

Gotta Cache 'Em All!

This is probably the only alternative title I would support, largely because both this and the other suggestion have dual meanings.

[Vi]

In my experience, subtlety is pretty much never a good way to go with titles.

Unrelated: Rhinox's current avatar is, like, way different now.

[Vi]

I saw that.

→

sees what you did there

[Vi]

Enjoy explaining the oscar title to everyone.

I agree with Ythan on this one.

[Vi]

Nor does Nobody Special's.

No

Or yours

[ani's]

, for that matter.

and no again

I don't know what anyone's titles mean who got them before I joined the site.

Tierce's, that everyone likes? It's mostly understandable now, but it won't in four to six months for anyone who's not currently on the site.

saulres, I'm not trying to be mean, but you generally don't know a lot of things about complete strangers over the Internet when you first meet them.

If a title's cool, and it reflects something about the player, and the player gets a kick out of it, I'm not seeing a problem.

The proposed title for Mr. Flaysal fails the first and (IIRC) third category, and probably the second one as well.

[Vi]

Scry Me a River

(obviously impossible since there is a known scummer named CMAR, had to mention it anyway).

This would only be an impossible title for CMAR.

[Vi]

If the community feels I deserve a title, then I'll be okay with (almost) anything it decides to give to me.

You

DESERVE

NOTHING

, SCARECROW

Actually, you deserve a better title than what's being proposed, so etc.

[Vi]

my policy is just to throw shit out there

Nominate Umbrage for

Chimpanzee

I admit I laughed out loud, but I'm probably not going to second this one.

[Vi]

I think myko got the wrong religion, and is trying to say that Botones is a $100 bill.

[Vi]

If Parama doesn't want his Scummy then I lay claim to it as co-designer of the game in question.

[Vi]

He has not indicated that he wants the banner removed. He and others want his title reverted to reflect his known resistance to titling.

I know that. See Flay-o's post.~
