hey guys

I know we're trying to see where SKrew's boundaries are and you want to see if your pet projects can get pushed through etc etc

but you look real silly from an outside perspective just saying

there's no point to anything, dude

[Untrod Tripod]

the entire concept of a "point" is just a social construct

enjoy the ride

[Untrod Tripod]

Ok, Lebowski

I'm not Lebowski, man, I'm The Dude.

[Untrod Tripod]

shut the fuck up Pie you're out of your element

[Untrod Tripod]

You want a title? I can get you a title, believe me. There are ways, Pie. You don't wanna know about it, believe me.

I can get you a title by 3 o clock this afternoon

with color

[Untrod Tripod]

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

[Untrod Tripod]

Skrew give me my new title

[Untrod Tripod]

Sure thing, cliquefriend

[Untrod Tripod]

Separate note, I think UT's fake-title (Admiral Gaylord, for those who missed it) actually fits him better than Fat and Sassy.

- UT is not fat (yet sassy)
- IIRC it spawned from LoL? Which UT doesn't play often anymore, AFAIK.
- Something something Gay Mafia.
- Knowing UT in-person, I can say 'it just fits'. UT is the kind of person to take a nickname like that in stride and not as an insult or anything.

That said, I can see some people taking issue with that as an actual title, obviously, so.

so this is origin for that title, just fyi

[Untrod Tripod]

I remember saying SOMETHING but I can't remember specifically

[Untrod Tripod]

2nd Admiral Gaylord

I will not approve this title.

wait, because you don't think it's funny, or because you think it's offensive?

[Untrod Tripod]

I agree with the concerns put forth by the people who have posted here

consider that title REJECTED

[Untrod Tripod]

I 100% disagree with that philosophy. A title, imo, is a recognition of a users unique personality on the site. If we can't think of a good way of synthesizing a users unique personality on the site, the most likely explanation is that they don't yet deserve a title, not that we should think harder.

Settling on something that isn't that good is even worse, since people tend not to suggest titles for those that already have them. It means when the user does do something that is title worthy they won't get a title based off of it, and that's super lame.

Titles aren't just candy that everyone gets. They're a recognition of something specific. Trying to recognize something specific when nothing specific has happened yet is the actual silly part.

[Untrod Tripod]

Yeah someone explain Shade Brigade.

[Untrod Tripod]

FTFY actually stands for "For The Fact, Yes."

FTFY

yeah that's not true

[Untrod Tripod]

Do your job, SK.

ftw

[Untrod Tripod]

hey skrew

[Untrod Tripod]

I'm not sure that a title needs to be absolutely unique, a title just needs to capture the essence of the person. Yes it can't be something ubiquitous but I really do feel that in this case the perfect is the enemy of the good!

I personally have no idea who she even is but if that title really fits well and people like it then Hito's or UT's endless folders of gifs shouldn't stop us from awarding it to her. It doesn't matter if the shoe fits someone else, what matters is if the shoe fits her.

/soapbox

plus, UTs gifs are horrible.
