Titling Discussion

If a rename is included, sign me up for hyperposting mafia games.

Witness Protection would actually be a cool title tbh

[Firebringer]

Witness Protection comes at 30k along with a free rename.

I think this was a joke but there is actually about 7 users who have made more than 30k posts. I am not too far myself actually :O

To my knowledge, it was in fact a joke, but it's neat enough where I support it not being one.

Hm, I think that it's kind of weird for Jester to be after mafia scum to be honest, I mean, jesters go around sounding somewhat scummy and if not overdone, they probably end up lynched for it (I think Jester winrates are high as long they don't need to be lynched only in day 1 and consequently have time to set up their own lynch?).

I think it would be more thematically correct to give Jester to lower posters that are new to the site, because newbies often sound scummy and make mistakes, kind of similar to jesters in some cases. But I don't see how it would thematically be correct to put it after mafiascum, maybe I didn't get something about the title though.

By my own interpretation, "Jester" would fit more before "townie", since newbies usually first look a bit more like jesters than townies/towny, but given how no one proposed changing townie/goon positions, maybe it being after "goon" would be more acceptable if ever implemented. Just my opinion though.

hey mastina what's with all the changing titles around the site is this part of the 'special event' thing

[Annadog40]

Duh

[vonflare]

huD

Yes.

Since multiple people have asked me about this:

Regarding Alts and Titles

During the April title event, you

may

ask for a title on both your main and any alts you possess. (There is no rule saying you cannot have a title on both your main and an alt; this also applies towards normal title nominations.)

However

, come voting time, you may vote on only

one

of your accounts. (Similarly, you cannot nominate a user for a title and Nth it using alts.)

The number of votes people can cast won't be reduced due to titled alts.

Have fun!

[mastina]

We do, but we also have a rule against self-nominations for titles.

did you implement this? afaik this wasn't a rule but heavily frowned upon

Which titles should I not nominate?

You should not nominate:

• a title for yourself.
  You will not receive the title and other users may find it annoying that you tried this. If there are title nominations for you in consideration in the thread, be careful about giving too much feedback or input - while declining a specific title or set of titles that's currently in discussion for you is perfectly fine, going too far beyond that may cause users to become uncomfortable with the current proceedings.

I didn't change that from DRK's rules, so it still stands!

I really think the title events are cool and would even encourage more of them. I always saw the title threads to be a niche group of players talking there but the title events definitely makes it more accessible and open for the community, even if the titles only last for a month.

I'm taking suggestions for the January event, btw. The October event's pretty much set in stone; I know what I want to do for it, but I'm incredibly dissatisfied with the original idea I had for the January event which is why I want help to brainstorm.

[Bitmap]

If it was December, I would suggest a Secret Santa title event.

But for January, maybe consider having everyone pair with someone and their partners control what title they get?

[Psyche]

was thinking maybe you could do seasonal titles for winter
like people pick whatever as long as it connects to the season

[Raskolnikov]

just wanna say that the title events are cool, and by extension, the fairy. thanks

this is an extremely good idea. I fully support title secret santa

[Annadog40]

Yah plus 1 for secret Santa

[Alisae]

Due to a failure on my part, no. I'll be rerunning it in February.

can you actually not re-run that particular event?
that event was kinda meh, the other ones were really good

[vonflare]

the title council event

could

have been good, I think. the rules just encouraged anti-nomming everything. Hopefully there's a way to resolve this issue in the rerun. maybe giving each user a set amount of votes/antivotes...

[Ankamius]

How about you just can't vote on more than like 1/4 of the noms

[Psyche]

still think they should be easy to get but temporary, and only made permanent in threads like this one after due discussion
imo one shouldn't have to follow 3 other title threads to be sure they can have input on those calls about whether a title meets criteria or not

[Alisae]

how about its an unoriginal uninspired event that the normal thread just does significantly better

[Ankamius]

Could just have the 2 events and have them be every 6 months instead of 3

That’s the biggest problem, it’s essentially the normal process but kinda worse
