Dance of the Title Fairy: Pale Moonlight Edition

[Quilford]

I

think we should set up a panel of, say, nine experienced MS members to assess titles. Three ladies, six men comes to mind. Oh and four of them would always oppose the other four on the more controversial titles, with one swing voter. And they would have to hand down lengthy judgements with each decision

The No Title Fairy

[Nobody Special]

Nominate SK for

laissez fairy

No, no,

no.

The formatting is all wrong.

Laissez-Fairee

I like this. There's far too much bitching about titling to rely on a monarchical system.

[Flameaxe]

This idea that any system won't involve bitching is downright adorable.

or that adding more people to the process will somehow reduce the arguments.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

less is more.

[ConManMick]

Think of the title as a job title: everyone's got one. All the regular employees are Mafia Scum, the trainies are goons and townspersons etc. If you want a promotion (a unique title) you must apply for the position, submit a C.V. (résumé?) And wear a suit to your title interview. Over complicating the process like this should streamline it's effectiveness, it's perfect!

[Flameaxe]

Background checks for titles IMO

i think it would enhance the arguments and make the titling process all the more entertaining

[Psyche]

but "laissez fairy" is like what every title should be like
except for the fact that it's inappropriate for sk

[killerjester]

Of course it wouldn't reduce the net bitching. That's not why I think the process could use an upgrade over the "5 members + fairy" standard.

Take the scummies committee. It's actually less work to get a nomination through, but the analysis for who gets one at the end of the process goes deeper because it's a discussion between multiple perspectives. Like it's obviously not that important to the quality of the site do if you're going to do it then do it right?

Some things benefit from the addition of process. Other things are harmed by it. In this case, title discussion already verges on too-serious rather than fairly lighthearted fun to build community.

In any event, I'm getting tired of seeing policy discussion in this thread rather than title suggestions and discussion about those titles. If you want to make a thread discussing how the Title Fairy should operate, please start a new thread about it.

[Oversoul]

Oh thank god more people thought the Kayak title was poop (itself and how it was approved)

but skrew said we should give him feedback in this thread here

[T S O]

skrew's so fucking bad omg

[ConManMick]

Don't know if that counts as feedback, but...

Spoiler:

[Quilford]

Ftr, I wasn't actually being serious when I suggested that the Title Fairy should be run like the Supreme Court of the United States

[Flameaxe]

But it works so well in other applications

You're right. We need to go full on direct democracy with this.

[TheButtonmen]

SleepyKrew is so lax compared to the start of my reign, he lets the masses complain and attempts to placate them.

I just made the rivers run red with blood.

[esuriospiritus]

I propose anarchy with everyone able to change everyone else's title at will

there hasn't been enough drama lately and my popcorn is getting stale

[T S O]

if we execute skrew that'll show them we mean business

[saulres]

That awkward moment where I want to damn the man, but realize I am also the man.
