[ReaperCharlie]

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?

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!

[shaft.ed]

97.5
95.7
79.5
75.9
59.7
57.9

Which of these is most accurate?

cool its like a Price is Right game

[mastin2]

I agree with the capitalization issue. (For instance, I've seen it with all the people suggesting "Unabridged2", when that isn't a joke at all. It'd HAVE to be "unabridged2", lowercase 'u', if I were to have that title.*)

*

Annoying microtext makes a comeback!

That said, I still don't like that title, for the criteria I mentioned that I have. Oman doesn't like it, I don't like it, discussion on it should be killed.

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.

If Mastin2 gets an alt-title, it should be something funny, in much the same way that '

Empking's Alt's Alt

' provides subtle humour, but also succinctly explains itself within its own constraints, with no prior knowledge of him being necessary. In my opinion,

Unabridged2

does not fulfill that criterion and is therefore not a particularly good title.

How about

99.99999999999999%

No.

Parama's alt is not funny, doenst provide subtle humour, neither succintly explains itself with its own constraints.

[Nobody Special]

Oman, I just want to say that I think you overreacted. I agree with Vi, completely.

[SleepyKrew]

Oman, the Seraphim title is in regards to an ongoing game. Which is why I suggested we wait for it to finish.
Also, did RC kill Oman's mom or something o.o?

[Mr. Flay]

Kast: tl,dr; -> tl;dr

I do agree with fixing this one. The other two... eh, most of our titles are in Proper Case.

[SleepyKrew]

Well, if MoI's is supposed to look like a death scene... I also agree with "fixing" Faraday's, and I believe he has as well.

[Vi]

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

Reaper

Charlie

Also SleepyKrew is correct in 1535.

[Faraday]

Yeah small s would look far better IMO. Not a massive deal, just if you're fixing one, fix mine if possible too.

[Korts]

What RC says is reasonable this time, but Oman is right to snap at him. RC has been unreasonably criticizing and pestering Oman for far too long now, and I perfectly understand and agree with Oman if he thinks that RC has forfeited his chances at offering constructive input here.

[shaft.ed]

can we do different fonts? Cause Korts' would look good in the type writer font that I dont remember the name of

Also nth the misused caps. This happens all the time with titles actually

I never said Parama's Alt was a good title.

[Ythan]

Do you want to use the worst title on the site as the measure for new ones, or the best?

[RichardGHP]

How about judge them on their own merits?

[Ythan]

point

your head

[Lord Gurgi]

I'm glad you went with the iron fist option.

[Oman]

My problem isn't whether RC is right or wrong, my problem is that he is constantly whining that things aren't as he wants them. There isn't any step in his OODA loop that says "I might be wrong".

Yes, there are aesthetic issues that we may disagree on, or that I didn't consider. It's worth noting that I've just by default posted titles in proper case except where asked (soundtracker, etc). And if you think a divergence from that is a good idea, I can totally buy that. I can get behind things changing (especially on something that I didn't really make a positive decision on, I just did it because it was

Shea

the status quo), but what I can't get behind is RC's relentless habit of saying "things are wrong, fix it."

I'm not sure how many of them I left, but in the last clean-up and the one preceding it, I deleted several posts that were just RC quoting a suggestion for Thor and adding

Beard

with no other consideration. Or a post that had legitimate thought and his only addition would be "Beard of Wisdom is obviously better". RC has constantly shown that he doesn't produce quality discussion or thoughtful input, he just pushes his own agenda and fuck anyone that doesn't agree.

No, you are making a suggestion, things are not "broken" by definition just because you disagree with them. If you have input, I'm all ears, but don't tell me how things are going to shoot, especially not with

Make it happen, Cap'n!

And Vi (and anyone who is concerned), please, never worry about provoking me when you make your posts, I need people like you and the other goodposters to keep me in check, and I always dig your input.


I'm going to calm down, expect a decision on capitalisation to come through within about 27-30 hours.

[Ythan]

Did you make a split somewhere?

[Oman]

Yeah mate

[Thor665]

Whoa - snap, I'm a Smurf!
Here I thought my title would eventually end up as 'Title Pending' or something

Now you're just indistinguishable from the rest of the old fogeys down in Venice.
