An alternative suggestion for handling event-based titles: instead of automatically setting them aside for x days/weeks/months, have some sort of nomination process for putting stuff in limbo, which can be invoked on a case-by-case basis by the title thread community.

2 extra limbo days per anti nom?

nah that just delays the process rather than having a proper waiting time. it should be standardized or done on a case by case basis tailored to the limbo time rather than based on anti-noms

You'd likely just get the same people who don't like event-based titles nominating to put them in limbo basically every time one comes up, and it just adds another thing for the title fairy to keep track of

Well yes, aren't we trying to appease the people who don't like event-based titles to begin with?

Sure

adding a second nomination process is just making things more complex with likely the same effect as a default limboing

I'm very interested in the possibility of improving the visibility of the Player Title subforum so that more users (ie not the usual GD crowd) will be interested in participating in discussions and, more importantly, in proposing new titles. I'm not sure asking Zor to make yet another Site Announcement is the right approach, so maybe we can brainstorm other possibilities?

What if you moved this subforum to inside the Queue?
Like you would go into the Queue and see it at the top and the queue threads below it?

That might be too much of a change?

while that'd be effective, the Queue is about signup threads for Mafia Games

I noticed list mods advertise the scummies after they lock game threads.
Perhaps advertise this thread as well? Just add a extra line and link for it?

Maybe move the subforum into GD instead of Site Ideas. I know that I never scroll down that far, and the only reason I found out this existed in the first place was because I got a nomination and was told about it.

If it were in GD beside GTKAS, The Arcade, and The Speakeasy, it'd be waaay more visible!

Create a referral reward program. Each user gets a special link to the Player Title subforum which they can use to refer their friends to the forum. If someone refers 5 friends, each of whom suggest 3 titles each which get put into use, then that referrer gets a special limited edition "Neighborizer" title. Because they're special.

the wiki is a commonly used tool by newcomers who dont have the social ties to existing scummers to explain shit to them

that would qualify as "not the usual GD crowd"

I'd rather upgrade user profiles and implement that as a "badge" or "award" or whatever.

if you refer 50 friends, you become a site mod. 100 friends and you become one with mith.

i remember when there was talk about removing "best replacement" scummy there was talk about giving it as a badge to players who replaced in. I guess that was dropped tho.
