Sure! It started as a string of miss titles after Mr. Brightside didn't make the cut, but it struck a chord with people!

It has to do with my happy demeanour and whatnot, and is a neat song too!

That's the easy, abridged version, but the reasons are, of course, in this thread if you have it in you to find them :)

Alright
I've heard the song Mr. Blue Sky so I think it works.
<Embrace The Void>

Spoiler: Nomination Post
In post 463, PJ. wrote:Sorry I don't buy the, "the lyrics are ambiguous that there can be multiple meanings" argument. Without beating a dead horse about it being the official meaning, just read the lyrics. This isn't like...The Trees by Rush or something, it's just a straight forward confession. The second part of the Mastina argument in conjunction with the first, paraphrased, is "Ari consistently ignores the context/meaning of the written word and creates his own interpretation", which is honestly kind of rude.

I got warned for making a joke at Ari's expense with the 4-0 thing, but honestly, is that any more rude than his "friends"(and probably the people who hit report) nominating him for reminding them of a song about a guy who watched his girlfriend kiss another man, than racks himself with jealously/paranoia all night and every night since the incident but then keeps pretending that nothing is wrong, hiding behind a forced cheery disposition? I may of made a joke at his expense, but you guys are making a "serious" at his expense and patting yourselves on the back for it, it's very bizarre.

To end this post on a postive note, I don't know if Davsto actually
nominated Ari for Mr Blue Sky
or not, but I agree wholeheartedly. The song is literally an ode to the cheery blue sky after a bunch of rainy days(it's also the final act in Concerto for a Rainy Day). Ari, to me, is an INCREDIBLY cheerful guy, regardless of the situation. He never really takes anything in a bad light, including my 4-0 joke, at least not publicly. Any post I've ever read by the guy has been bright and cheery, and especially among the grey, disgusting muck that makes up most of MS, it's honestly a great change of pace. Someone who seems genuinely happy and enjoying everyone's company, He IS the blue sky, it's not a forced/fake dispostion.
There you go Gamma!

And Panzer, I don't know if I said a proper "thank you" for the nomination and the we, but it really made my day, and I really do love it!
So thanks man! :) I appreciate it more than you know!

Guessing origins:
Accountant's is his philosophy
Mhs is his balance tracking for mini normals, and stuff like that
Zoraster for being the guy who takes care of the site as mith's "right hand man"
Panzer for his behavior, the cell referring to his ban
NM for the All Star references

is give you an 8.5/10!

Nm did get that for obvious reasons, but it was voted on and bestowed upon him after he gave it to himself in a fun April Fools thing!
Panzer has the reference for wrestling stuff, as he posts it all over the place, not because of bans. We don't condone bans with titles!!
And Mhs is also due to personality and being a balanced fellow In-game as well as his proficiency in balancing and reviewing games!

nom Natirasha for Lily Leanan
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.

Non vonflare for
doot
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?

I'm renewing my nomination of Natirasha for Lily Leanán


This nom seems to get lost in the noise. Can we discuss it and come to a decision now that the poll game has been over for a while?
Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.

Thirding Natirasha for Lily Leanan
. (Accountant was the first, ffery the second.)
I voted for Nati for good reason. (Well, Natirasha was one of my three votes anyway.) I thought that was one of the better titles given and do think it has merit.
