Dance of the Title Thread: Resurgence in wild?

[Ythan]

I think it should apply to

users

Lost me at the bolded.

why/how

[Ythan]

why/how

What you said in your previous post.

[Nancy Drew 39]

I think it should apply to users who play Mafia games which are less rigorous and more freestyle (see: Grand Idea) as well as spend most of their time in the "Other Forum Games" Forums.

You have to nominate a

specific

player for a

specific

title.

[Jake The Wolfie]

Yes, I understand this.

[Jake The Wolfie]

The plural of User was used to denote and concede that multiple users could fall under that category. However, I believe that there is one user in particular that it would fit best, were we to search. In contrast, everyone else would either not be a good fit, or would fit better with a different title.

[xofelf]

Thing is with titles, they should relate specifically to a specific user and you start from there, not "oh hey this title could fit people that do *these* things, let's go find one and give that to them". But additionally, there are a lot of actual things that happen over in Mish Mash that have warranted titles on their own without being some clever word play someone comes up with about not being involved with the mafia side and trying to just hand it out to somebody. Titles are supposed to matter in some capacity about the individual user and/or things they have done. This doesn't fit at all.

[Jake The Wolfie]

Then wouldn't the converse also be true, where we shouldn't search for titles for a user after deeming them fit for a title?

[Ythan]

That

is

true.

[Isis]

Agree with Ythan, you're on the money, the old-school way was to nom someone for a title because a great idea specific to the person that couldn't be ignored popped into your head, rather than feeling like you should force something just because they've stuck around a decade. It results in the best titles.

Decade too long, if someone's here for a decade, deactivate their account.

Problem solved, no titles for just being old farts.

[Ythan]

I mean if you're here for a decade I'm not adverse you hunting you up a good title. It's nice to have one. But I don't think that's how good titles are generally conceived.

You just don't want to be deleted.

The counterpoint is that you treat titles as a sacrosanct process rather than a fun community thing, which means everything is judged on whether the title is absolute perfection.

Like obviously don't sign off on everything carte blanche, but this is a mafia forum. Live a little.

Lol.

Idk the amount of discourse needed to get carpe denim through has me a little jaded. I get wanting titles to be good, but when you hold them to the same standard as you perceive a title from a decade ago, it's not going to hold up.

Like xof's title is just that they exist in Mish mash a bunch. Reck's is a dated speakeasy reference. Titles only fossilize into the collective ms consciousness over time, regardless of preliminary goof quotient

I worship at the altar of titles. They must be perfect.

[panthaleon]

Ok peasant

I mean "Mafia Scum"

[brassherald]

I just want to be clear that I really don't care that much about titles.

I'm having to much fun being an ass about something dumb.

[Ythan]

Explain Carpe Denim without the line wrapping around.

[panthaleon]

Oh God I hope that no one thinks I actually have a full head about mine

I just like the pants pun and thing more people would feel that joy

[brassherald]

Look, titles are a cathedral to the mafia players. We shouldn't let someone with any performance enhancing quirks, like a gimmick, into the cathedral.

[SleepyKrew]

Carpe Denim still isn't good
