Title Fairy: Abuse of Mooglepower!

Should she pause for a breath?

If you showed me that title and asked me to connect it to a scummer I would not go straight to Amrun.

[izakthegoomba]

If you showed me "Welcome to the Haystack" and asked me to connect it to a scummer, I wouldn't connect it to you if I didn't know already.

[Ythan]

So since my title is below a standard we should just lower it permanently? No.

[izakthegoomba]

You're just one example. Not everyone is going to "get" a title.

[Ythan]

If you're disillusioned with the current standards of the title fairy thread it will be better in the long run for you to leave this to the rest of us.

I don't really see what sets Amrun apart from other posters that post everywhere....posting in every section/nearly every thread shouldn't be titleworthy, imo.

[Ythan]

And I say po~o~o~o~ost po~o~ost. I say post.

Looking at the quality of suggestions I think that everyone should just lay off Amrun titles for a couple weeks, all of these are pretty bad..

If you showed me that title and asked me to connect it to a scummer I would not go straight to Amrun.

Neither of you have anything better to offer and neither of you are the title fairy. Plus Amrun likes it.

So... why should we care about your opinions?

Grr.. RAgE RAge Rage... rage... ...

'Post Post Post Post Post' is the best suggestion. Everything else is varying shades of terrible.

Agreed (without the quotes, obvobv).

[SleepyKrew]

I think just focusing on her posting is dumb. Other people post too.

[Umbrage]

PostPostPostPostPost and all derivatives are the worst titles I've ever heard. It's not funny. It's not unique. It's not interesting. It's not specific to Amrun. It's a lazy, stupid idea. 'Posts a lot' is an incredibly weak character trait to base a title on in the first place. It's not like 'Mod Screw' or 'Cache Me If You Can' where pure namedropping is going to work. Imagine explaining Post to someone. "Well, uh, she got it because she was, like, posting EVERYWHERE!" No. It's bad. It's incredibly bad. It's not fair to compare it to Welcome to the Haystack and other outdated titles because that title actually has layers, and the people who are 'in the know' get it. With Post, there's nothing TO get. There are no hidden layers, no in-jokes, no double meanings. Just 'AMRUN POSTS A LOT'. Give it some effort, people. Ceiling Cat was a meme joke. Otterly Everywhere was combining concepts. Guardian Angel was subtle. Those titles are flawed, yes, but at least they have some redeeming qualities that make them INTERESTING. PostPostPostPostPost IS NOT INTERESTING. AT ALL.

[Ythan]

No. That's not the point. The point is to come up with good titles and give them to qualified posters. Not to decide who deserves a title and make one fit. If nobody can come up with a better title, she doesn't get a sub par one because someone thinks she deserves it.

Question: Are we making a title for Amrun based off of her tendency to:

Post a lot?
Post a lot in Games?
or just post in a wide variety of topics?

[redFF]

There are lots of other people I think of when I think "posts a lot"

EDIT: That said, she does have the highest amount of posts per day of anyone on site (I think).

[Kublai Khan]

...and Umbrage joins the ranks of those that are just screaming "DO BETTER!" at everyone else instead of actually contributing anything better.

...he did say he liked some of the titles. So, no.

...he called them slightly better, but overall flawed. So, yes.

[Oversoul]

Umbrage, calm the fuck down.

Personally, postpostpost doesn't really differentiate Amrun in my mind. I could have sworn there were more prolific posters/were more prolific in their newbie year than Amrun too

[Umbrage]

Umbrage, calm the fuck down.

?

I'm thinking we need something else than 'posts a lot' for Amrun. It's just not title-worthy on it's own, no matter how much we play with puns and shit, there's nothing we can agree on. I really don't see anyone coming up with a posts title that will make us all go OMG THAT HAS TO BE HER TITLE. It's OK if Amrun doesn't get a title yet. Ythan's right. Someone as awesome as Amrun will do more title-worthy stuff, and we'll find something that really works for her.

yet ceiling cat is golden

[saulres]

Ceiling cat watches. Amrun posts. There's a difference.

[SleepyKrew]

Plus Ceiling Cat is an off-site meme plus avatar-dependent.
I think we should drop the Amrun discussion for a while. As Umbrage just said, she'll probably do something title-worthy eventually. It just hasn't happened yet.

Let's get back to Feysal. I remember he liked Secretariat (yay I'm self-absorbed) and ummm... What else?

[Umbrage]

I honestly think Ceiling Cat is the best that anyone can take this idea. If it's not good enough, then it's time to drop the 'posts a lot' thing.

[SleepyKrew]

Wait un momento por favor.

Didn't Chevre's Title get approved?

[izakthegoomba]

What was it?
