Shortfuse is subpar, Microfuse is the best IMO. Micromanagement is too long, Micromanager is shorter, easier to read, and gets the point across just as well.
I'll explain it to you. You have to get someone else to understand it for you.

The e thing for Tracey would be really good addition to a title, like adding/removing a letter e from a different title as an in-joke, but on it's own it's just not enough.

Korts' post reminds me of that one episode of Community where Pierce gets kicked out of the group, and then they realize they need him so that he can be the butt monkey whenever they want to make fun of someone. I agree that UN fills a similar role here. (As do I, come to think of it.) He's annoying, but we're united in our dislike of him and he keeps us from turning on each other. So I'm thinking
Lightning Rod
or something like that.
Escape Goat
?

I didn't suggest those as an insult, I think UN provides a valuable service in these forums. And he's a pretty nice guy to be around as long as he's not ruining srs bisnis threads.
I guess we could compromise on something like
Accentuate the Positive!
for him. Between his 'I don't want a title that's deprecating in any way' stance, and his constant happy-go-lucky attitude in the forums, he really is a beacon of sunshine and happiness that you often just want to go away and leave you the fuck alone. His greatest flaw is his greatest strength, that he sees the world through a rose-tinted lens.

I dislike username titles in general, and the Umbrage/Umbridge joke in particular. Granger Danger/Danger, Granger makes me chuckle, I'm not sure if it's a good title but I'm not opposed to it.

You know, of all the reasons to reject a title, 'forcing' it seems pretty weak. Every meme has to have a bit of forcing, there has to be people who keep using it again and again in the hopes that it'll catch on. And it has caught on, at this point either Pie gets that as his title or he doesn't get a title until everyone's forgotten it a year from now. Bad or good, that's HIS title now, it's what we'll always associate with him, and it's what any other title will be compared to.
Like it or not, he got that title a long time ago. It is his title, just needs to be made official.

I mainly just don't want a pun like Umbrage/Umbridge or a title that ONLY references my username/avatar. What UN suggested is cool. Can't say I'm fond of them, but they're not OMG NO WAI.

that was kind of the point
Like it doesn't suit her at all, therefore it's funny and will confuse people who don't know her.

It was a serious nom, I just figured I'd get in on the LOL KJ LIKES TS while I was here. I know I'm the last person qualified to judge other people's avatars.
Fearless
has the TS reference, it's not insulting or inflammatory, and it's quite appropriate for someone who goes around declaring their love for a mediocre pop star on here.

I think people are trying to give him THE BEST TITLE EVER, which is a mistake. He can always be re-titled if we get something better. Popular! or Beloved Princess are fine titles, and if they were for anyone else there'd be no objections. If titles are deserving, and not users, then any title is 'good enough' for Quadz. It doesn't have to be perfect.

In post 2003, Venmar wrote:I thought it would be funny to give Maestro a title along the lines of
Copycat
or
Loyal Apprentice
due to the long period of time that Maestro spent formulating his entire profile to mirror UberNinja. After that, Maestro helped kickstart the short-lived UN avatar cult .
Just speculating.

. I've never met this guy (or run into him on the forums for that matter), I've only had one conversation with him -- tonight, in chat -- and a solid 90% of his posts/comments have me cracking up. But it wasn't just this conversation that I pull from. I've seen his posts around the site. It's the style of his posts, the way he slams, berates, or sometimes even compliments can be so sarcastically dry. I just think it fits him very well.
