sorry for shitting on the thread

so the reasoning behind my previous nom was that aristophanes has a reputation of being a friendly person, but they often insult people in innocuous ways. they also made a hilaribad typo in site chat the night before i made my nom which made aristophanes seem incredibly mean spirited. savage is intended in its memest form, also as a nod to his greek name/avatar and how greeks considered everyone else barbarians, making him all the more an unlikely savage.

while his current title is pr good i feel like this one is just as telling for his character. ultimately he is the one that gets to change his title if the nom were to go through.

I figured out how to ban people!

In unrelated news, vonflare is taking a break from the thread for a week for harassment, etc. His behavior was found exceptional for its regularity (extending over many posts), acrimony, and distraction from the proper function of the thread. Everyone, if you've a problem with a user's posts, you have many options besides harassment, including reporting, ignoring, avoiding, and even respectful engagement. It can even be possible to pointedly complain about someone without being an asshole. Try it out some time, if you gotta.

See you around...

I think there's a pretty glaring issue with giving someone a title for getting banned from the title thread
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?

This sums up my response as well.

In other news, Psyche, what are some of your favorite titles and why? I'm trying to get a feel for what makes a good title in -your- mind specifically.

good titles tie communicate one or a few distinctive things about someone in a clever/pithy but easy to explain way that resonates w/ broad community

"hell in a cell", for example, ties panzer's interest in wrestling w/ his brusque communication style and is evocative imaginationwise
"shea" is subtle, conveying tsq's hyperpersonable social style not by outright calling it out but by laying out a direct artifact of this style directly linked to the classic function of titles to 'name' things
"second coming" w/ just two words tied together loads of apparently unrelated coincidences about mastin2, seeming to produce an iconic mythos on the spot
etc etc

what makes a good title depends a bit on what's already a title, because they sort of set baseline expectations/norms for titles that have to be played on for any "cleverness" standard to be met, but witty language is universablabhaslashblabhalablah

Your favorite titles are some of my least favorite, and this makes me sad, but your explanations are something I can work with. Thanks for taking the time!
