nom Creature for "Charismatic"

For those who know Creature, this nomination is kinda self-explanatory as to why it's something which is fitting (in a sense anyway).

But since it is common courtesy to assume people aren't familiar, to explain, this is a title nom explicitly for the irony: Creature has just about the least amount of charisma of any player in existence, in spite of having >random reads and being easily-identified as town in any given game. If you think that having an ironic title is fitting, then I'd encourage support behind it because it is just so much the opposite of Creature that it bounces back to being appropriate for him.

To put it another way, you can think of it as the equivalent of nominating me for the title of "Succinct".

I'm going to be honest, this sounds closer to the Cute Fuzzy Kitten Defense.

Non Creature for "Cute Fuzzy Kitten Defense"

[Alisae]

No it doesn't.

[Mathdino]

as someone who's been revamping the gambits section on the wiki

that is not in fact the Cute Fuzzy Kitten Defense

CFKD is claiming something so ridiculous that you can't possibly be scum making it up

it's a complicated version of Refuge in Audacity

[RadiantCowbells]

No it doesn't.

[Firebringer]

Charismatic is really bad title.

Like Alisae should be ashamed bad

[Alisae]

Oh okay I am ashamed now

[Firebringer]

It’s okya Alisae,

As long as u learned ur lesson I still love u

[Alisae]

Yaaaaaay

[Inferno390]

Okay, see I haven't look at theory for a while. I think the last time I looked at that part of the wiki, it was a little closer to what I was thinking.

Nominate Creature for Transparent

Due to seemingly frequent references such as "Go back through your game history on, say, D1s, and check your top scumreads and townreads. How often are they correct? ...Open 707: JK9++: My D1 scumreads were RedFlavor, JaydragonKing, Assemblerotws, and Creature. Creature was scum, so that doesn't count, so we'll say RedFlavor scum means one of those was correct."

Yep. That's the one I'm looking for.

nth this with extreme prejudice

(and not just because I wrote that )

Most of our best titles are double meanings, tying 2 seemingly unrelated things about someone's character.

Rewarding Creature for his alignment always being obvious isn't alone very good (otherwise I'd have nommed him for "Innocent Child").

But Creature is known for being one of those players with significantly better than random reads who almost adamantly refuses not to explain his reads in full. I assume he works off of primarily good intuition and doesn't even necessarily HAVE tons of reasons for those reads.

His catchup style is completely transparent. He throws darts, says who's scum, makes it obvious he's town, and books it.

"Transparent" nails:
- His obvious alignment unmatched by any other player on MS
- His catchup style
- And pulls in the irony of "Charismatic" in that, to most people unfamiliar with Creature, he looks like the least transparent player out there.

nth this, Creature deserves this one.

I don't want to take the discussion away from Creature by any means,

so please keep nthing Creature for "Transparent"

, but in going over the open setups in the wiki, it's actually insane that BBMolla doesn't have a title yet.

Nominate BBMolla for "An Open Book".

This encompasses 3 things:

1. The sheer amount of effort he's put into MS Open Setups:

- He designed Hope Plus One, We Need A Fifth, and Grand Idea Mafia, all extremely commonly used setups, in addition to tons more, including an Open Setup Design Contest winner. And those are just the ones on the wiki.

- He has 4 threads in the Open Setup Discussion and wrote one of my favourite articles on how not to mess up Open Setup design.

- See his ISO in the old Open Setup Reviews thread for the amount of work he's put into reviewing, breaking, and modifying other setups. He's also helped in my Open Setup Autopsies thread in the MD.

- He's been on record multiple times (I forgot the links) for wanting to design well-balanced and fun setups with 7 players or less, as there just aren't many good ones out there.

2. I think it's potentially a good tribute to BBMolla's progression in the Speakeasy, but I wasn't here for that so someone else can/should comment.

3. Going over his ISOs in a couple games, I feel like this is a good summation of his playstyle. Not having played with him, someone else is (again) probably better qualified to talk about this.

Nthing Transparent

Nom mith for the <temporary> title of April Fool's!

Only for the month of April, as he seems to have convinced an applause-worthy percentage of the site.

Please expedite.

Potentially something that someone can think of that's better > Open Book > An Open Book
