This is why I brought it up. He puts his heart into what he does, doesn't take anything from anyone, posts frequently, and can be surprising almost 110% of the time. But I'm not willing to fight or interested in fighting against a backlash for this title until he gets better.he has potential for a good player and I understand this.

I don't understand any of this post. I gave you the general idea of what the title's about here. If you want to witness the experience of Furcolow for yourself, here's a game that just ended where Furcolow played more or less as usual; quadrupleposting his thoughts, absolutely sure he's right, using his (perceived and probably actual) likely-Townie status as a billy-club, changing his mind frequently and aggressively following whatever beliefs he had at the time, and showed Iecerint in particular that he's THE wild card of the site. "Squirrel" is a play on his name and (unfortunately now changed) avatar, "Rave" is an accurate description of three consecutive posts about how someone is definitely scum (as opposed to a few pages ago where someone else was definitely scum).Oman wrote:I'm really not sold on this. I don't know the player's playstyle, this looks like something I'm going to have to find out myself. Give me time to read a game or two that he's in (fuck you, Vi).
Also, take the time that this will take to create something new too, as it's unlikely that it will be approved in its current form.
I don't think anyone has actually said it's an unfitting title, so much as complained about Furcolow getting a title on principle.
Actually not bad.We could always give him the title Frank.

ZeroFang gets it. Although I disagree with--
Furq isn't trolling, and arguably isn't a VI so much as unpolished and very visible. Can you think of someone else who plays like he does?It's not that his play is bad, but that he isn't distinguishable from many of the other mafia trolls/VIs on this site. If he was indeed unique and had a good reason for getting a title, I'd be more open to him getting one.
Also, the major reason TBM doesn't have a title is because not enough people were in the game where I labeled him The Man Your Man Could Vote LikeEverything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.-

good, now keep doing that so your title remains ~*~relevant~*~Cogito Ergo Sum wrote:YARR!

I'm more than positive that we've had more "moments of weakness" than just the one with P'jager. In fact, looking through the Titles page there's a handful of titles that are actually very weak by today's standards (parade of username puns and one-off jokes gogogo). But that didn't stop them from going out.One moment of weakness doesn't justify a second one.
I agree with having standards to a point (i.e. aesthetic appeal, cleverness please) but some of the commonly thrown-around "rules" seem more intent on shutting people out than anything else.
Also also, someone referenced f-light's av-based title earlier. It's worth mentioning that she got another title for a different reason after she changed her av. The first title was funny at the time, and since the associated avatar has been removed the title has also been removed. That's how I think avatar-based titles should work tbh.Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.-

Piers is reportedly sailing the world, picking up would-be girlfriends along the way. Given his personality in The Lost Age it's questionable as to whether he's interested in them.Andrius wrote:Gah. Every time I see your avatar, Vi, I'm just like DAWWW.
Though I read the plot for that game and I am not really impressed. (Where the hell did Piers/Felix/Sheba/Jenna go?)
Felix dropped off the radar and will probably have a major role in game #4.
Offhand I don't remember where Sheba went, but she can probably stay there.
Jenna canonically married Isaac and is Matthew's father; she spends the game with some Vale survivors in Kalay (which conveniently isn't in the game).
The plot is hilarious...ly bad. That quip I made when I first put the av up was just one of many blatantly silly things that will make you facepalm as you play through.
Its story isn't particularly different from other RPGs, but it does it very well. It has art style, graphics, and soundtrack going for it too. I'm kind of iffy on the battle system tbqh, but the base RPG battle system isn't very interesting to begin with.I played the game and wasn't all that impressed. Not entirely sure why the Golden Sun games are as popular as they are, but over on GameFAQs people praise them like no other RPG.
Dark Dawn had a bit less on the graphics because the DS has roughly the 3-D capabilities of the N64, and as mentioned before the plot and very forced tutorials are laughable, but the rest is still decent enough.
GameFAQs likes it for the Wheat Sword and because it did enough things right. Plus the people who like games like GS and FE also happen to be some of the best at keeping alive what amounts to an undulating ocean of perpetual trolling that's honestly kind of fun to watch sometimes.
Aaaaaaand Oman can move this to the video game thread because they need people talking about something other than whatever it is they're going on about that I don't care about.Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.-

Xalxe didn't have a title before, although he wins points for trying.
There are actually a lot of titles that aren't on the page, but they belong to scummers who are long gone.

If they're decent games and you have no other particularly relevant defining characteristics, why not?xRECKONERx wrote:Look at the people on this site who have titles. They're not just handed out like candy, usually. Hey, look, I'm modding an entire SERIES of games on Lost, maybe we should make me a title to reference Lost! /sarcasm
We can go the other way with that though.All of these things are what people are generally well-known for...it's what gives their title character. Nobody, except for the handful of people who have actually PLAYED in DKU's superhero games (and I'm one of them, for the record) would know/get/appreciate his title.
Kise has an entire series of games based on Square-Enix, where's his title?
Dramonic has an entire group of games based off of obscure/not amazingly popular JRPGs, where's his title?
I could pull out a thousand more examples, but you get it.
What off earth does "Lyrical Rampage" mean?(and why doesn't that title have something to do with Mith's Minions?)
I'm not Patrick's Rantbuddy (although he has had the misfortune of reviewing my setups, so I can give him some slack)
IH is "Always Scum"? Really?
When's the last time Yos2 (shrug)ged that anyone has seen?
I wasn't in PBuG's "I Win" game, should I care?
Ditto Oman's "NK Immune Miller Vig".
Ditto EmpTyger's "It's a JOKE!".
Ditto Talitha's "Dr. Death".
Ditto Thesp's "Supersaint".
Norinel got a somewhat odd title for laughable vote count skills ("Not Voting (3)"), but why should bad modding be commended?
Was "9 Years Old"reallythe best we could do for ShadowLurker?
"Yawesome". Enough said.
Is getting 62545 (or however many it was) PMs via a board glitch worth a title? It happened to me, so it's nothing special; that title should be stricken immediately.
All of these "I want a title" titles ("Unique", "Famewhore", "More /in than you!", "Entitled", etc.) can amscray as well...
You get the idea. I'm not in favor of taking any of these titles away; in fact, I would actually prefer if we WERE less strict about who gets titles. It seems like at this stage, you either need to win two Scummies at once, have a visible GD presence (Mafia what?), have a grating playstyle, or have ~*~connections~*~ in the social community to get a title. Before, granted the community was smaller so more people saw these things, but handing titles out was much more casual.
As for Kise and dramonic, why aren't people suggesting them?Although I suspect that dram's title would relate to you in some way rather than his games.Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.-

I thought the Title Fairy Policy was always that titles weren't expected, but if not, that explains things. Of course, we could just prevent anyone who asks for a title or looks like they're deliberately trying for a title (as judged by the Title Fairy) from getting one for, say, three months.Oman wrote:Regarding Vi's points: There has been a significant cultural shift in titles throughout Thokreign and then progressing into mine. Previous titles from another era is not the right yardstick by which to judge upcoming titles (and that will be as true for the next cultural shift, whether I am fairy or not). Of the 17 titles that you gave as examples only two are really given within the last year or two (That's mine and Erg0's)and the others are from the era when titles were an expectation. If you take a look at the original Title Fairy Threads (or Dance of the Title Fairy) there are comments where people say "hey I just hit the post requirement" and then people start on titles. Is that where we want our titles to be?I think a cultural shift should be recognised such that we don't judge the new group of titles off the old ones.
You get the idea though. I would prefer it more if title-giving was more liberal in general for the reasons stated before. By "more liberal" I'm not talking about turning it into a giveaway, the Internet is not America and there are more than two polar positions on issues, etc.Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.-

I'm actually quite sure neither me nor VPB is saying that titles should be handed out like candy.Oman wrote:And people have said to me that they don't want titles being handed out like candy (VPB obviously believe otherwise).
Even so, I'm not the Title Fairy and I'm sure I'm nowhere near being in the running to be the next Title Fairy, so.Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.-

*looks at list from a few posts up*Mr. Flay wrote:Maybe it's just me, but the real reason we seem to have less titles given out since Thokreign started is that there's fewerlegitimatetitles being suggested. So much of Thok's threads (and now, this one) are metabitching about titles, players, or the Title Fairy. *yawn*
"Fewer"?
Also, what is SensFan's title for?Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.-

I believe this is precisely the gap between "my side" of Titling philosphy and "everyone else's side". Herodotus is precisely correct here.Herodotus wrote:

Why is this meme making a comeback recently?Oman wrote:Korts wrote:People should stop nominating idiots for titles that brand them as idiots. For one, it doesn't make them feel shame in any way; nor is it funny--it hasn't been for the last three years or so. So yeah, there are users who are so thick you just can't get over it. They're dumb, they're annoying, they're a bad poster, we get it, we see their posts too and we canfucking tell. If you have no creative and amusing way of mocking them, get your fingers off the keyboard. Off the keyboard, singer.
So my suggestion for everyone except shaft.ed is to learn to ignore those who are below a margin of minimum intellect.Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.-

Why is this title not a Guns N' Roses reference?shaft.ed wrote:

Nominate Sotty7 forThat damn good.Third That damn good.
Regardless of the other connotations (wrestling) it sums up her play here to a tee.4ththis one. I don't think everyone will get the pro wrestling connotation (it actually sounds like a slogan for, say, Sotty Cola), but on the other hand, it's an awesome title forsomeoneto have and I endorse Sotty being the one who gets it.Everything you say and do matters.
