I vote we refuse to give Elbirn the title of Meme Police on the grounds that he requested the title "Something in a Similar Vein". Clearly an unforgivable faux pas.
Also, nom Nancy for "Never Lynch"
1. She's a strong town player who is incredibly good at towntelling and hard to mislynch.
2.

This is definitely town!sheep. But even if I couldn’t read him off of meta, he is obvtown also by play.
The last might seem a little offensive because she ended up being wrong, but it's just the first example to come to mind. It's more that Nancy locks down her townreads, trusts herself, and never lets anyone bully her away from her opinions, which can be both good and bad.

This blanket acceptance is a challenge that you, the members of the title thread, must meet. Find the most ridiculous Taly title mastina won't torpedo, and make him come back from hiatus to see it in all of his posts.

That's Not All, Folks!
for Boonskiies might make sense if the BooneyToonz games had any connection to Looney Tunes, aside from the name. As far as I can tell, there's one game that had pictures of Looney Tunes characters in the votecounts and nothing else in any of the games that's in any way related. I quite like the BooneyToonz pun, it sounds nice as a name for a game, but the pun is of course not a good basis for a title. So to sum up, no.

I thought gogurts was a phonetic pronunciation of his name, not a title.
What about something along the lines of Pokemon Professor instead of specifically Bill?
As cheet noted he is best known for pokemans and keeping the sum of all mafiascum knowledge safe from the likes of Team Rocket. Seems like it might fit more than Platinum.

I agree. I'm saying that I'm mostly ambivalent to the title because I don't know Katyusha very well. If I knew her better, the fact she was arguing for it would probably make me less inclined to like it.
In post 274, Alisae wrote:mastina you can do better
For example
“Hi I’m your mason!”
Or something along those lines
Is a lot more fitting tbh
Nominate mastina for
Hi I’m your mason!
Aside from all of the reasons described in title troll thread, I feel like this kinda fits mastina’s personality a lot more the “mason” would
It also kinda tells people “hi its me and I’m here to stay”
I still say it should reference the fact that she’s probably fakeclaiming masons. Given her otherwise rigid stance on not fakeclaiming as town or scum.

Personally?
I have made a habit of coming into the endgames of Dann's town games and expressing scumreads on him, which RC also did just now in a game I modded.
Additionally, Dann is very town as scum, and the resultant paranoia means he's frequently misread and pushed late game regardless of alignment.
Not sure if RC has another reason to add to it, and from my reasons alone it's a pretty weak title. But it's a pretty weak title that I like, so I'm gonna throw whatever weight I have behind it.

I like all of the mason variants for mastina. Does anyone have an argument against or a reason for a specific one? I feel like the discussion there just kinda died for no reason.

I think it applies as a fairly generic scum move (asking for a protown action in a way to get it it shot down instead of actually considered). Regardless, probably a discussion to take to md.
I disagree that faking masons is objectively bad play, although perhaps the consistency with which mastina does it could make it so. It’s a more extreme version of an arbitrary townread, which I’ve seen used to good effect. It’s objectively good for scum mastina, and theoretically has the effect of lowering the kill rate on a high power slot (mason) while raising the kill rate on a low power slot (neighbor).
The risk is also low yield: mastina and her neighbor become ‘unlynchable’ but that just reduces the odds from n/m to n-1/m-1 for a scum lynch.
TL;dr I don’t think you can say it’s objectively bad play, regardless of how annoying you personally feel it is.

Nom Elbirn for content aficionado since it appears to be a form of meme police he actually likes and you monsters wouldn’t vote to let him keep it. Shame on you.
Long story short, a bunch of alternate wincons were present in this game. Cyrus was mafia and had to hammer his teammate or otherwise get an item that his teammate was holding. Two other town players (Pine and PenguinPower) had this same wincon. Cyrus made a deal with Pine and PP by outting his teammate with the item so that Cyrus could hammer the teammate and get the item to satisfy his alt wincondition. Much chaos ensued, but Cyrus was hung, followed by the outted teammate, which had the domino effect of causing the last mafia to concede. All because he made a little deal with the devil.
Pine is the devil because he is
devilishy good looking
good at scum.
Maybe Pine’s title should be changed to something involving devils and deals...
It actually already is. But more than that, it's a reference to site history. I'm not above recommending a new Title for him if it fits better, but "In Your Head" is a high bar to hurdle.
My suggestion wasn't ever really serious, more a tongue in cheek poke at his unfiltered style. And yes, it was a little insulting and thus probably not worth serious consideration as a title.

What does his title reference?
The game that made mastin retire from mafia and forced the birth of mastin2.

Nom Pink Ball for The Power of Love
First, it's a reference to a song I like. Bite me.
Second, Pink Ball is an incredibly positive person. In the Alipine game that just ended, he multiple times organized a sit down and feel good session that derailed the game from going toxic.
Third, Pink Ball in that same game managed to turn the positive emotions and gratitude from his appreciation pages into a crazy strong shield that saw him into the endgame with little suspicion from town despite being the only claimed investigative in a situation with several conftown and a really tiny mislynch pool.
tl;dr Pink Ball endgamed through the Power of Love.
In post 1074, Aristophanes wrote:Okay so my actual problem with "Deep Wolf" as a title is that is is a broad mafia term and it could be applied tk so many people in so many games. He did a great job, yes. He was not caught, yes. But is he the pinnacle of deepwolf play on MS? No.
Its like titling someone "obvtown". That would be a bad title. Literally the same logic applies.
I'm not saying we shouldn't title him, just not this.
dannflor has been in more games than just this
him being a deepwolf is somewhat of a meme at this point, i don't think alisae v pine was even the largest influence on this
Yeah, sure. But that doesn’t address any of ari’s points. It’s a meme title that’s not really special enough for what DANNFLOR (WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME) is. On an unrelated note, my phone now autocorrects DANNFLOR to be in all caps.
Agreed. The image of Dann as a cast member of Footloose is worth at least one star, as is the alliteration.
Wolf in Wolf's Clothing? As a reference to the fact that somehow every game he's called out as the deepwolf and then still ends up winning the game as a deepwolf.
RC doesn't, and while personally it evokes a "He's a measuring stick to judge yourself against" vibe there's the alternative "Get out of here RC" that makes it a rather unfortunate title.

I don't see it as mean spirited. Not good? Sure. I thought the change away from Smooth Criminal to people tried was bad. I just don't really personally support letting you switch back because you don't like the new one anymore because it feels like asking for a title, tbh.
I also don't feel strongly enough about that to oppose the switch.
if they meet the criteria i guess, for the first event anyone could just request a title that they'd get but at the end if it wasn't voted to be kept by everyone it'd go away (unless you're me)
You can also refuse them, just like normal titles.

I mean a user shouldn't have a title they don't like.
And it's only a matter of time before he was nominated for Smooth Criminal again if it wasn't just given back to him automatically.

P En G with the spaces is my preference based on the phonetics.
I could also go for something along the lines of Emperor Penguin as he's clearly gone mad with power. (Reference to his being a long standing (the longest standing?) Listmod and his willingness to lean into bad jokes about abusing his power).
Pine's Antinom is a terrible title for Dannflor, tbh.
RadiantCowbells wrote:I mean, I don't actually think Dannflors a super deepwolf player
I don't think the title was ever about Dannflor actually being a deepwolf and more about the meme of Dannflor always being called a deepwolf, fwiw. (Agreeing with Enter)

Nom Dann for
Sheep In Deepwolf's Clothing
I think this captures the meme of "Dann always being accused of being a deepwolf" better, captures the cute-n-cuddly "I don't want to lynch Dann, even though he might akshually be scum" vibe I get from his scumplay, and captures the fact that he's basically the sacrificial lamb for which we blame all of the issues with AliPine. (DANNFLOR, WHY HAVE YOU BETRAYED ME?)

I think this is probably the most accurate title I could think of for Pops. But maybe it’s becaise I have a lot of recent history with her. Whenever I read a Pops post she seems very particular. It isn’t a bad thing and I Hope Pops doesn’t take any of my suggestions as digs because they aren’t imo. Pops knows what she likes and isn’t afraid to tell people they don’t meet that standard.
If you can’t have Tiara, take the next best thing yknow
I don't like this, but I can't really say why I don't like this. Like, everything you've said is true, but it still doesn't really fit.
I definitely think this is an avenue that should be explored though.

I think FotM was when Dann first got pinned into the "Probably a deepwolf" as town though. Like, No deadlines was when he proved he had a solid scumgame, but the meme started in/around FotM afaicr.
