So I've been thinking about this for the past few days and the best I've come up with I think isIn post 2105, northsidegal wrote:nom MariaR forTwenty Two Faced
When looking back through the old title threads I think there was some pretty good discussion on a title for Maria that never ended up making it through because the title fairy changed at an inopportune moment. I personally think that "I Have Many Names" was the best of the titles suggested back then but I prefer Twenty Two Faced for a few reasons.
First, to justify either of the titles, among the traits that Maria is most well known for are being very good at scum, and having a lot of alts. "I Have Many Names" certainly fits the alt aspect of that well, and while it does have something of a sinister tone that might be reminiscent of scum, I can't help but feel that it understates the "being very good at scum" trait.
To me, "Twenty Two Faced" better incorporates both elements, with two faced being a more clear indicator of lying and being good at scum, and the more literal interpretation of twenty two faces being an allusion to a great deal of alternate accounts. Also, it's the sort of unique twist on a normal phrase ("two faced") that I feel like makes up a lot of classic titles, e.g. All Work and Roleplay, Best Newcrummer, etc.
i think that unlike a lot of titles that refer to people's unique personality traits that it's both really easily understandable while still having a bit underneath. also, include a hyphen anywhere as looks best."Alternatively,"
I'm not as good at explaining this as I want to but I think it's a good way to bring across the idea of "yeah you might think I'm scum, but what about..." and in general just describes their ability to convince people easily as a scum player.
It's also, quite literally, a reference to their amount of alts (both alt-ernatively and alternative accounts), which as nsg said is something that is really characteristic for them.
Lastly, to me, it also has the meaning that MariaR is just really good at adapting to the situation at hand and the people around them, and I feel like it's a large enough part of their personality to mention it.

Good title! Like it better than Shapeshifter; it ties in both the Alt part of it as well as the paranoia. And is clever!we're all made of stories | remember to take your b12 | sign up for a GTKAS thread! (request access here)

Per Errant/Alisae's bumping of the title nom, I'd like to bump this, to again put this forward one more time; any more thoughts on this?In post 2137, mastina wrote:

I think this suits her because- it’s a reference to her avatar, Scholarship Student Isis
- it implies she’s “best in class,” no matter if it’s mafia, rpg class, or overall classiness
- it’s fairly original(?)

oh that was Isis
I thought we were still talking about Maria.
I think that is an excellent title for her and will still nth it regardless. Though I do wish it was on the Pops account and not the Isis account, but if they're trying to switch accounts I'll respect it.| here.GTKAS- Pine

I would like to nom schadd forsilver-tonguedorsilver-tongued devil. the first phrase refers to someone who is eloquent and convincing. This fits: schadd has a "way with words" if you will, he has the inventing words thread and just makes big posts that are well said. also it alludes to his highly acclaimed mafia games series mystery box of silver.
I personally prefer silver-tongued devil which has a very satisfying three word structure + is a phrase that historically connotes a mischievous personality. but maybe it mildly brings to mind an "untrustworthiness" vibe which is actually not a bad thing now that i think about it, schadd also associates himself with a mystery disinformation aura that one might say is like a certain game he evangelizes.
capitalization and potential misspellings -- i am told on GOOD AUTHORITY that schadd misspells words sometimes, i would prefer to keep it as spelled -- are up to the discretion of the community AND / OR schadd provided that we get this title or some better variant thereof into the Success Zonedid another ms user do something lovely? recognize their achievements here!

Bumping this b/c Zaph didn't keep Ghost Writer, which I think sounded cool but am unsure how his writing credentials onsite relate to ghosts or ghost writing.In post 2070, Ariel wrote:so for the April event Zaphkael had the title "Ghost Writer." Zaphkael won Paperback Writer in 2017 and has done very in-depth written flavor for other mafia games. Also runs Fiction Rumble in GD and has been the "champion" for it multiple times. So I do think Zaph has a notable association with writing on mafiascum.net.

Little Did I Know got a few nths but not 5. The tl;dr idea behind it is that it's a writing/narration trope that ties into how he approaches modding. Going to suggestLittle Did They Knowthis time as it being in third person might make more sense.- SleepyKrew

Requesting that my title revert toSnark Attackplease.
Nominate Ariel foredited 449 times in total. I thought this was one of the best event titles. The specific number is because that's how many times the OP of the original Identity thread was edited, but the spirit of the title also captures the who-knows-how-many edits Ariel has made to the wiki. Alternatively, nominate Ariel forToo Sparkly.To be clear: quack- Errantparabola
