[bold]Your Name[/bold]

You don't have to break the tags because they're not real bold tags, but it's pretty obvious what the joke is.

nominate Maruchan for

this was something I suggested in the last thread but it didn't have much traction at the time, but Colorado Meet has made it clear that this is still an excellent fit for her.

You're gonna have to lobby REAL hard to convince me of this considering that I wasn't at the meet and lack context.
Plus, prior title policy for meet-related titles is basically that they are held to an incredibly high standard if they are allowed at all, sooooooooo.

Convince me.

Nom Creature for "
Of Havoc
"

continuation of a username into the title to form a phrase a la Wisdom's "Of the One", and it's a play on words of "Creature of Habit". as for why i think it's fitting, Creature is very well known across a really wide range of Mafia forums with two most notable traits: posting
a lot
, and having a distinct town and scumgame.

creature's current title reflects the latter of those two, but as of recent
[weasel word] depending on whom you ask [/weasel word]
that trait has been less true. i also think that "transparent"—while it does describe that trait—is a little bit opaque in its meaning. there are very clever double meanings in "transparent", but i just think they're a little difficult to intuit.

"creature of havoc" to me captures his explosive posting and catch-up style (which, upon his entrance into a game, can sometimes stretch an entire page or more uninterrupted), his skill at catching scum, and (perhaps formerly – again, depending on whom you ask) the way that his presence in a game can entirely change the gamestate. i've actually seen it as a method of analyzing the balance of open setups to imagine that one player is creature and is essentially replaced with an innocent child, and to see how that would affect the setup.

tbh I like transparent more mostly because of havoc sounds really cryptic to me and I don't associate creature as being a cryptic person.
The word play tho is very clever tho

Actually
tbh
I think I like "Of Habit" more then "Of Havoc"

I kinda think of Creature's explosive posting to be more calm and uniform then to really "create Havoc" since it doesn't realy change much, he doesn't really write a lot of words, and its more simple, while havoc kinda feels like it belongs to a more chaotic posting style?

think havoc doesn't sound or read similarly enough to habit for casual readers to reliably pick up on it months down the line
