^I'm ambivalent - something in me likes the latter, but the former actually shows it... uhh, in action for want of a better phrase.

Don't think so, if so you never addressed it.


I just feel like I've seen it before. Title deja vu maybe.

Ah, Neon Genesis Orca Title Fairy. That's where I've seen it.


Anyway, Capital Punishment > CAPTIAL PUNISHMENT for several reasons. The first is that it's prettier and less abrasive (and yes Umbrage, sometimes not being abrasive is a good thing) and the other is that the title references the caps lock thing in the words. It doesn't add anything by being in caps. One of those "less is more" situations.

Capital Punishment does make somewhat more sense than the emoticon he's got now. The allcaps versions is terrible, though.

I don't get it either beyond the obvious joke, in which case it's not a very good title.

"That Guy" comes from JDodge referring to me as that due to some dramas in the DotA/LoL Thread.

It seemed to be based off of one incident that was posted in the DotA/LoL thread, that people joked about turning into a consistent thing (which would've been annoying, by the way).

I might mention that titles are supposed to not have a negative connotation. "That Guy" implies the whole "don't be
that guy
" speech that we always get at band camp...it's not a good thing. Though if Zepher really wants that title, then far be it from me to argue against him being "That Guy." :roll:

Also, it's based off of something only a "select" group of people know about, in a game only a "select" group of people play.

Titles are quickly moving away from mafia-related things like they always have been, and more and more to inside jokes.

Yeah, but you were EVERYWHERE with the political stuff. 'That Guy' would require extraordinary pervasiveness to become applicable to just one member of this forum...
