Title Fairy: Abuse of Mooglepower!

[Oman]

Speaking of which,

Nominate Scummies for the title of "Tourist"

.

It just bugs me to see the Scummies as a Townsperson rather than the Tourist they used to be. I can't be the only one.

Is this really that big an issue. I understand one person getting a little neurotic, but all the other people supporting it?


RC, you're making nonsense posts again, stop it, you're not funny enough to support it.

However, you make a valid (if not good) point about Nordic v Norse. I personally don't care, I wonder if Thor does?

[The Fonz]

Actually I think RC is right on the Nordic/Norse thing, it definitely lessens the title like a lot.

The Norse gods were the Gods of the Nordic peoples. Don't really see the problem. I mean, see this.

I just think beard of wisdom is a lame avatar/username based title, and we want to avoid those. I think those saying 'It mentions wisdom so it automatically covers his prowess as an IC' are well off-base here.

I'm not 'neurotic' about it, but there's no reason NOT to give a purpose-built account a special title. It's basically

mith's tool

for...

wait.

(yes, I'm kidding)

I'm not against it, I'm just surprised.

I think it's more of a lark than a serious enterprise.

Edit: my challenge to Thor in the face-with-a-name thread to have a awesome beard contest still stands.

You challenged me to a beard off in a thread I never read? Clearly you're already aware you'd lose and are cowering and hoping I never notice

Well, Oman apparently decided I should weigh in on this, which is a little sad because it would have been much funnier if my unaware backside was suddenly being asked why I was NordIC and was left scratching my head and shrugging in confusion a lot. Ah well.

I'm conflicted on Beard of Wisdom. It might be pretty apropos but I actually developed the beard system when people started to get tetchy about a case being 'gut' and wanted reasons. The beard became the reason, and now I sort of just lob it in as padding in any case I feel I'm presenting too little of a case on. So it's kind of a subversion of the point of beard to imply wisdom - though maybe that was the point all along.

I'm flattered by the intent of NordIC. I'll agree, as RC noted, it's not the right phrase, though I appreciate the pun and am actually relatively proud of the intent behind it as I do try to stay fairly involved in helping the Newbie queue out (plus, I totally can find scum better in those games, so it's a *huge* ego boost )

I'm kind of nervous about weighing in heavy on a title, since I do feel the point is to showcase how others see you and how they choose to recognize you. I'll be tickled just to have been given a title (thanks Mina!) I think the point of the titles is that they should make you think of the person they are given to, and I think both frontrunners appear to do that fairly well. Lots of people have memories of me as an IC, and the beard=case is out there on the social consciousness.

I'm blathering...I don't know how to end this discussion or this sentence, and I think the truth is I just lack a strong opinion...um...I'll re-read the cases and get back to you (that always works, because now I don't need to re-read anything, huzzah!)

[dramonic]

I think NordIC is better than the beard puns.

[VP Baltar]

Listen to your

heart

beard, Thor!

[MagnaofIllusion]

ITT Thor is lazy just like his normal games

In all seriousness I think

Beard of Wisdom

is a much better fit myself.

1. It encapsulates his 'beard' in game posting, which is an important part of Thor's MS presence, IMO. It isn't 'simply based on his avatar'.
2. The Wisdom portion nods to his IC work which is definately noteworthy.

I see

NordIC

very much pun based and that funny. It doesn't capture the 'Essence of Thor' nearly as well as Beard of Wisdom.

yeah, that's simply my personal opinion but I am standing by it!

Yeah, the Wisdom is meant to imply that he's wise in shepherding newbies. Not that it's a secret power of his beard (though beards imply age, along with which often come wisdom and experience).

Just look at that avatar. He's stroking his mythic beard, from which

all wisdom

flows. Feel it. Let the legend and the myth flow through you.

Beard of Wisdom

is clearly the best title.

However, if you really

must

wrangle "IC" in there (unnecessary imo), MythIC works just as well as NordIC, an actually *is* terminologically correct.

No love for

Sorry, right account

right on this account

?

I honestly think

Mistaken on All Accounts

is better than Right (or even Correct) on this Account.

It's really only funny if you are enough of an oldbie to have heard it in conversation though (not too sure about kids these days, they're all about slang and stuff. But I think it hearkens back well to the time period in which Faraday runs a lot of his games, and thus I think it's fitting).

Sorry, Right Account

is alright. It'd be twice as good if we could include a in the title, too. Possible, Flay?

You and I both know I have photo evidence of you being lazy in [redacted]

[Faraday]

MythIC

is pretty fucking good.

You know how I roll.

"Pretty f***ing good" is just par for the course.

[populartajo]

I liike

MythIC.

Sorry right account

its golden.

[gandalf5166]

I think NordIC Wisdom still sounds better than MythIC Wisdom. I guess I get the beard part, and MythIC Beard sounds better than NordIC Beard...........

[Seraphim]

MythICal Beard

?

Second Sorry, right account for Faraday

[ReaperCharlie]

"MythICal Beard of Wisdom"?

[SleepyKrew]

So Norse/NordIC Beard of Wisdom is too long and sounds forced, but MythIC Beard of Wisdom is fine?
VOTE: RC

It is true. I am lying scum.

Of course you are RC.

Too reminiscent of this guy, and not enough of this guy.

This is me cowering. Still here if you wish to respond in a proper manner.

I'll go ahead and

3rd Sorry, Right Account

for Faraday. I'm perfectly fine with the IC pun titles for Thor, but I'd rather see something about the beard. ATM, I think he's running unopposed for the best IC scummie, so everyone will know how good an IC he is anyways.

[animorpherv1]

If we MUST include IC, which feels forced, MythICal Beard of Wisdom is best. Although, like DY said, if he is in the running for Best IC (unnopposed, at that) then there is no huge reason to include it.
