Dance of the Title Fairy: Accepting Applications

[Postie]

I like the sentiment behind the title nom for RC but I don't feel any of the titles that have been suggested are particularly clever or witty enough for a title nom.

[Postie]

I kind-of have an idea but I don't feel it would be fully appreciated right now. Soon though, I think.

[Postie]

I mean, we could always give RC a "Titus" title and Titus a "RC" title, but I feel like that's kind of a weak idea too.

I really love RAWR and everything it stands for. My only quibble is I'm not sure how well it works as a title? Like I don't really know how to explain this but something about

RAWR

just feels a little awkward/weird. Might just be my imagination though idk.

Nom RC for

Annie Get Your Gun

I know Annie Get Your Gun is a musical, and I don't know much about it, but that's not the point here.

But, if the musical part isn't relevent then why base the nom on a musical? The Annie in

Annie Get Your Gun

isn't the same Annie as the Annie from LoL. This feels... thematically confused?

I'd go with RAWR over (Annie) Get Your Gun. I also have an alternate suggestion which I will make a case for in a bit.

[Postie]

connotes being vig or even mafia more than it does scumhunting (we lynch those)

I mean I don't support the Annie Get Your Gun nom but these aren't entirely unfitting connotations.

Nom RadiantCowbells for

Anniething is possible

For two main reasons.
Firstly, his tendency as a mod to consistently create unpredictable and/or wacky set-ups.
Examples include:

• Mini 1793: Freedom's Call (uPick Anything), where this happened
  
• In Memory, which included a 3-person neighbourhood containing 2 scum, as well as this endgame trolling which confused/scared some poor unspoiled players half to death
  
• Elemental Trinity's set-up, where quite literally almost anything was possible because all 19 players were given a choice of three roles at the start of the game, and despite this RC still managed to keep the set-up balanced, fair, and cohesive

And these are just games I've played in. I'm sure there are many more examples.

Secondly, his ability as a player to frequently overcome overwhelming odds to carry home a win.
This is a quality that comes through most in his scumgame. What springs to mind first is NY 184: a help, where both of his partners were lynched day 1 and day 2, and in the next 4 nights he managed to gun down all 4 of town's power roles - 3 of which were investigatives - before finally convining town to a lynch a cop cleared player in LyLo for the win.
More recently, he was re-nommed for Most Cunning Manipulator thanks to Open 675: PYP X/Y, where he

Carried the scumteam to a perfect victory with goon/goon/RB against VTx5/Cop/Tracker/Backup Tracker/1-shot Watcher/Day 3 Vig/Neighborizer in a game in which nearly all the Towns were objectively obvtown by just pocketing the entire game and having basically perfect NAs. Scumteam was on the brink of complete disaster the entire game and RC just out-manipulated everyone and strongarmed lynch after lynch on confirmable TPRs WHILE convincing them not to lynch the confirmed scum TWO DAYS IN A ROW INCLUDING MYLO

I do think that perhaps this title nom might be too broad/vague, but I hope the pun keeps it relevant enough.

[Postie]

RAWR is still a fantastic nom though. I like that it says a lot in so few characters and I think the connotations it has wrt RC are strong enough that they mostly cancel out the emo subculture connotations.

[Postie]

nth RAWR

btw just in case nths actually mean something

[Postie]

Yeah, RAWR is like... I want to say tsundere but I also don't want to say tsundere.

[Postie]

I'm not sure "masks" is the right word, but something along those lines, yeah. It's like

I like RAWR because it's emotive like he is while showing a bit of his cutesie soft side.

Kuribo is a 'fierce' poster. RAWR doesn't suit him. There's something else there with RC.
RAWR isn't absolute hate and aggressiveness, and neither is RC.

a combination of these things.

I suppose you could say it parodies his aggression to both highlight it and highlight how he's not fundamentally just an aggressive person?

[Postie]

IIRC it was actually psyche not liking the suggested titles for RC that got them rejected, not the anti-nom brigade.

[Postie]

Been done before.

[Postie]

Ah, fair enough.

[Postie]

Please stop trying to make fetch happen

Anti-nom Pays the Rent/Now Accepting Dogs

+1 for pretty much the same reasons

No strong feelings either way on Mr Blue Sky vs Mr Brightside

[Postie]

It's meh.

Even knowing the context.

Mainly because literally taking the name is uninspired.

I like the idea. I don't like the execution.

Someone more creative than I should come up with a cleverer option.

Also dislike the title but

nthing

because announcing you're giving someone a title and then retracting is very not good

Also

nth

Mina's suggestion above the original suggestion, but personally I'd drop the "Mr" from that one as it doesn't seem to add anything important?

[Postie]

She says it a lot but I don't think it's a good title

[Postie]

Caled >

owo what's this

I was just thinking that "owo" seems like the perfect compromise between "o" and "hewwo"
Unfortunately I don't think it comes close to being a good title

[Postie]

^ nth

Actually a really decent title

I'm not sure "The More The MariaR" references the alt thing particularly clearly to people who haven't been reading this thread.
