The Title Fairy Dances with the Stars-lolz

[Sarcastro]

I nominate Shanba for "Is So Win".

Because Shanba is so win.

Personally, I think "The Interrogator" is too generic and boring a name, and isn't really appropriate based on just one game.

[Sarcastro]

I agree with Sarcastro. Interrogation is a big part of what this game/site is about...

Yes, but vollkan does it with more clarity and gusto than 99% of the players out there, and he's consistent with it.

Hence, in a forum on interrogators, he's "The Interrogator".

That doesn't change the fact that it's a boring name.

Also, how the hell do you not have a title yet? Pie too.

[Sarcastro]

"Always Overeager"?

[Sarcastro]

This is the same thing that changed maxes "Mish Mash Whore" into "Mish Mash Munchkin" which made NO sense at all, wasn't funny, and was just a severely watered down version of the first one. It pisses me off.

Um, there were reasons other than the swear word for me suggesting that change. (Munchkin gives extra alliteration and also has a double meaning involving both max's age and the concept of Munchkin in the context of RPG's.)

Um...You didn't touch my logic at all in the rest of my post, in addition to trying to pretend that the language had nothing to do with it, even though it did. Just because there are other, weak rationalizations behind something doesn't mean that the primary justification wasn't the language. The primary issues raised against it had to do with it being too strong for a title. Thirdly, it's just a way worse title.

Seriously? Because "Mish Mash Munchkin" is a way better title. In fact, I'd say it's one of the cleverest titles on the site, given that it combines the two things I associate with Max (in a meaningful way) and sounds good to boot.

Other than that, I'm really apathetic about this whole thing.

It's "somebody set up us the bomb", you philistine.

[Sarcastro]

Titles based solely on a user name are very rare to be accepted. (There are exceptions, but I don't think this is a good exception.)

Says the guy who

nominated

me for mine.

Interestingly, the only three people I can think of with titles based on their names are me, Yaw and Stewie (although Stewie is apparently getting rid of his). All three of us are Canadian. Coincidence? I think

so

!

Edit: It seems Stewie's has already been removed.

Maybe Yaw and I should start a club.

[Sarcastro]

Yeah, The Shadow and xyzzy were my fault, but it's impossible to read their usernames without thinking the title... right?

I had to look up "xyzzy" to understand it. I'm clearly not nerdy enough.

I did understand The Shadow's, though.

Nominate ABR for "Illogical Rampage"

Not only is it a humorous takeoff on an existing title (IIRC), but it fits the name and ABR's playstyle perfectly. (Not like I can talk there...)

Seconded

[Sarcastro]

Munchkin is way more appropriate.

[Sarcastro]

Munchkin is way more perfect. I don't know if he still does it, but he used to always suggest ways to make games weirder and more elaborate. That seems like munchkin behaviour to me.

[Sarcastro]

I'd just say "

Agreed With

".

[Sarcastro]

Is there a way to phrase it without repeating Korlash's name? I'm not a fan of the redundancy.

Also, I wish Vollkan were name "The Interrocroc" instead. That would be way more awesome.

[Sarcastro]

There are no alligators in Australia.

[Sarcastro]

If prefer "Title is my antidrug" for N-L, but that's a minor quibble (and many of the non-U.S. residents might not get it.)

I'd prefer he didn't get a title as long as he's begging for one, especially one that doesn't really seem relevant.

[Sarcastro]

Nominate hasdgfas for "Not Gay Anymore"

[Sarcastro]

Nominate hasdgfas for "Not Gay Anymore"

NO WAY

Why not? It's a tribute to the fact that, despite finding yourself attracted to men, you perservere on a daily basis in order to turn away from such an unnatural, sinful lifestyle, prefering to remain heterosexual, as God clearly intended when he made you attracted to men.

If you'd prefer, "

Not Bi Anymore

" would also work, if you feel it's more accurate. I also think "

Fight the Gay!

" has a nice ring to it.

[Sarcastro]

What? Unlike every other title that's been suggested for him, mine actually have something to do with what he's said and done on this site.

[Sarcastro]

By the way, was "

Holy Cow

" rejected as being too obvious or something? Because at least it doesn't sound extremely dumb.

[Sarcastro]

What? Unlike every other title that's been suggested for him, mine actually have something to do with what he's said and done on this site.

No, you're being an ass by going

out of your way

to belittle someone's beliefs in a rather (in my opinion, which should

really

tell you something) immature way.

I wasn't belittling his beliefs, I was making fun of one of his statements. As far as I can tell, nothing I said actually conflicts with his beliefs. Well, except the bit about holy cows. I suppose he's not a big fan of Hinduism.

And you guys should stop belittling my suggestions. You may not agree with them, but that doesn't give you the right to make fun of them. After all, this is my

religion

we're ta- I mean my

suggestions

we're talking about. You have to respect other peoples' suggestions, no matter how crazy they may sound to you.

[Sarcastro]

Yes, Oman, it was comedy at someone else's expense (yeah, okay, I guess it apparently wasn't funny to most of you, but it was to me). And the whole point of my post was to point out how hypocritical it is that when I criticise and make fun of hasdgfas, everyone is quick to criticise me in defending his supposed right to not have "his religion belittled".

I made my first post as a joke. Besides hasdgfas, only IH seemed to have a problem with it. Quite frankly, though, I got a little bit pissed at hasdgfas's response, so I decided to push it. And then you guys got preachy on a subject I feel strongly about: "No, you can't make a joke about his

religion

, that's just

wrong

", so I decided to point out how hypocritical you were being.

And now I'm writing this, because I realise that this has turned into something I didn't want it to be, and I don't want people thinking I was just trying to troll hasdgfas or something. As I said, I made a joke and then tried to prove a point in an admittedly less-than-stellar fashion (and probably in the wrong place).

So we can go back to proposing random cow-related titles for hasdgfas now.

[Sarcastro]

Actually, to be honest, I sort of have a problem with what's going on right now. I don't really like this practice of lots of people just trying to think up a title for someone, as if there has been some arbitrary decision that it's time for someone to get a title. A nomination shouldn't be made for its own sake but for the sake of the title that is being nominated: that is, it should be a good one already - people shouldn't have to brainstorm more once it's in the title thread. Now, in some cases modification is obviously understandable, if people are trying to think of the best way to phrase something (an event or such) that is obviously title-worthy, but this frequently is not the case.

I suppose you could make the case that that's what's happening with hasdgfas, since all the titles are based largely on the same subject - cows. But to be honest, that subject does not seem inherently title-worthy to me. If someone had a good idea for a title involving cows, I wouldn't have a problem with it. I do have a problem with the attitude of "I think hasdgfas should have a title and I think it should be related to cows, but I can't think of a good one, so let's just shout out random ideas until we get a decent one". That is not generally a recipe for truly great titles, nor is it really in the spirit of the thread. I mean, if you want to just go from player to player inventing titles, that's fine, but if we're going to do that, we could at least start with older players who still don't have titles. Not only do they deserve them more (no offense to hasdgfas and other newer players), but they're also a lot more likely to have truely memorable moments and characteristics that would better lend themselves to titles.

[Sarcastro]

Dammit, Nemesis! You too, Shanba. This has already been resolved - I explained my actions and desisted, so why are we still talking about it here? Go somewhere else.

[Sarcastro]

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of it either, but whatever.

[Sarcastro]

How is mine mafia-related?
