yes, it's called not posting in the topic.

You must be new here
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

So...

I've decided that I should start winding down as Title Fairy. It's really easy to stick to something, to double down on something only because you've already put so much into it and want some "closure" for the experience, but I've always tried to be the sort of person who constantly questions the what and why behind what he's doing and then takes those questions seriously. And looking at why I tried becoming Title Fairy, what my ambitions for this subforum and in general were before and are now, it seems clear that I'm now a different person who wants to spend his time and energy and personal investment on different things. Despite the personal growth this experience has prompted in me and the good (decent?) titles I've helped give along the way, I honestly feel ashamed of how much I put into this thing. I find I just don't
want
to be the kind of person who cares whether Mr. Know It All is a worthwhile title or not, but to a key extent, that's the Title Fairy's job. So instead of chugging on for a to-do list I no longer believe in, I'm moving on to cultivate a new one.

So now we're in a moment of transition. I'll handle this the same way Chevre did.
If you're interested in being the Title Fairy, send me a pm explaining why you think you'd fit the position and giving me an idea of how you'd handle it
. What am I looking for? Ideally, it's someone who's active, well-known, maybe even broadly liked across the community's various spheres. Someone skittles like Zor would trust. Someone who can manage 'hot' discussions and is not liable to start them. Someone who has a good grasp of and respect for this institution and its traditions but isn't quite a slave to them. Someone reasonably thoughtful and well-spoken. If you feel like you're qualified but that I might not treat your application fairly, I suggest giving it a try anyway; I try really hard all the time to be really open and objective.

I'll keep running this thread like normal until I pick someone and have it okayed by relevant higher-ups, and I'll be taking my time doing that. Please don't discuss your or anyone else's applications around this subforum (it'll be deleted and you'll get warned), and please limit that talk elsewhere, too (it certainly wouldn't help your chances). Let's keep each application mostly between you and me. Please PM me if you have any further questions about this process.

I've got a lot of respect for you Psyche. I was pretty riled about the latest incident but that was a 1-off thing. I've never had an issue with you before and I usually love seeing the insight from your posts (and not just regarding titles, but on the forum as a whole). It's sad that the last issue pushed you towards stepping down, but if it's because you feel you're getting too emotionally invested with it then I get it. There's lots of other neat stuff you've done and will do for the sight that I'm sure we'll all still appreciate, and I hope the next Title Fairly is someone who sincerely cares about the site like you do. Thanks for everything you've done for MS!

If you are using "Mongols" as a derogatory slur, that's against the forum rules.

If you are referring to the people of the Mongol Empire, remember that that includes Kublai Khan. Was that what you intended?
