I keep getting more noms when what I'm really looking for are better arguments. It's so pretty but it doesn't seem to meet the specifications. Oh well!

doot has 7 n'ths
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

Because it finished third in the vote
Like Gary Johnson
Who is a libertarian
Who doesn't know what Aleppo is
Or a single leader he can respect

By approving doot you can

Expand liberty by giving out another title
Give Gary a leader to respect by listening to the people
And you can learn about doot the way Gary learnt about Aleppo

Or you can reject it and spread authoritarianism, ignorance and disrespct

+1 for rejection if this is true.

Psyche google ZWSP see if that helps
https://codepen.io/chriscoyier/pen/iLKwm

Or try putting this in the title field (it should accept HTML right? Or just BBcode?):

Code: Select all

<div style="display:none;visibility:hidden">_</div>

It's kinda esoteric, Leanan sidhe=literally faerie lover. Leanan Sidhe were a succubus-ish faerie type as well. Back when i played mafia, i had a faerie theme to most everything, and anyone whose talked to me on skype/discord knows i waaay overshare about my sex life.

Lily=yuri=Japanese lesbian fiction, which plays into both my incessation gayness and weeabooism.

All thanks to fferyllt, who came up with it. But, it's clever and multifaceted which is what I personally love about it.
this has been the best explanation for the lily title nom so far
unfortunately, even here it's admitted that the nomination is rather esoteric
esoteric titles aren't unprecedent; there's Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra, for example
but in the example just referenced, esotericism was part of the point of the title
that connection is what's missing here

as much as i like the poetry of the phrase (the alternative nomination sacrifices that poetry without really fixing the issue), it just doesn't fit with the process
i'm officially
rejecting
it now, but hope you can eventually workshop something else that fits better with the institutional framework

objectively a bad decision
There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

I don't think titles should be undone once given unless the user asks for it to be removed or another is given.
Just my 2 cents worth though.

And since they abolished the penny in Canada, 2 cents rounds down to nothing, so that this as you like...
