Dance of the Title Fairy: Accepting Applications

If someone is banned in one part of the site, and not another, what would be the point of giving them this title? What does it accomplish? And is that goal worthwhile?

I think it should onpy apply yo permabans.

It lets people who are reading ols posts and threads know that the user is no longer around and warns of explicit content in a sense!

Nominate Gorkington

for

My Better Half

Gorkington is the Alt Cheetory uses to have fun a be a little more loose, a little less serious.
It's his outlet for fun on this site (or that was the intention I believe when it was set up).
But Cheetory and Gokington are one in the same. You cannot have one without the other, despite them being very different!
One's better half usually refers to the one they are married to, but here I think it describes his relationship with himself quite well!

I could probably make this a more eloquent argument, but I like it and it makes me smile

Aristophanes · Thu Jul 27, 2017 4:02 pm

Lol fine, I'll morph my nom into a tongue in cheek one about you using Gork as an excuse to "act like a piece of shit"

And it doubles in effect if you think about your back-to-back SUPP success! Cheetory is obviously the Better Half because he's popular and not posting to be a "piece of shit"

BOOM!
Nomination Saved! XD

I'm leaving now, I don't want to clutter the thread.

Thanks guys!

I'm still always going to be hyper aware of my activity in here, but I really do smile at knowing I'm not a burden to the thread anymore

You wouldn't believe how often I check what my postcount is in here compared to other users (I'm third after Psyche and Vonflare).

I check after every single post. Literally every one.

It's nice that the Fairy themselves has the most posts this time around. Psyche is doing a great job and is a very engaging Fairy and I'm really happy with what they've done with the thread

Aristophanes · Wed Aug 02, 2017 1:33 pm

But how many Huns has she defeated?

I can't back a Mulan reference if she has never defeated any huns!

Titles need to encompass the totality of a person and tye person must make sense with the subject matter! Is she even Chinese? Does she have a cricket and dragon as friends? Does she pretend to be a guy in order to save her family and her country?

I don't think so!

Why did you make the text so small in this post?

Because it made me feel like I'm not cluttering the thread. So I just kinda said it in a small voice so it could be looked past when scrolling through (unless you're Vonflare, for whom it was intended). Obviously that didn't work out...

EP is extremely deserving!

Would

be too much?

Like, it highlights the same things but in a different way. He makes ordinary things extraordinary. He puts a lot of consideration into things and people even when making bad decisions (as seen on your examples). It remains a mouthful. And it lets his Extraordinary contributions, like his music, shine a little bit more!

It's very similar but I think the twist makes it all the better. I

I dont have anything constructive to post here, nor has inspiration hit me. Overall I have been better at expanding on title suggestions than actually presenting them (Dear Derry being one of few exceptions to this). Plus, I am limiting my posts more than usual because, despite not being a burden in the thread anymore, I would like very much to drop from the top 3 list, and even better would be out of the top 5. I know this is unlikely due to the quiet times here and the fact users like Accountant are still top 10 despite being banned for an extensive period of time now.

If I had a good title suggestion or a fun take on one currently presented I would definitely present it, however inspiration is lacking at the moment and overall I think the site is a little quieter of late.

Does that help at all?

Hey, I get the sense that this is burdening you unnecessarily. Even though you post a lot in the thread, it isn't anything bad, you're pretty constructive, contribute to title discussion, nothing wrong with that. IMO no need to be self conscious about it you're cool

You're right, EP! On so many levels! Thanks <3

I'll try to be less selfconscious about it in the future!

The rest of my post is still valid though. No reason to post here if I don't have a title idea!

Stop what?

Thank you for reminding me that I am no longer a shitposter here and that I can feel good about my posts again.

Now stop spamming up the thread please! This is a fun place but Psyche has asked that we kindly stop spamming the place and I think it's getting to the point where cooldown bans may start happening because of the shitposting! This hasn't been done since SK banned Vonflare and I (at lease not that I remember) forever ago now, and it's really annoying that the thread has devolved into the chaos it has. I know you are having fun. I get it. I was there before! But it's not fun for the general populace of visitors to this thread so please keep that in mind and take this request to heart!

Mentioning and drumming up support for your own title which, I don't know if you know, was mostly a fun joke to begin with, is both a tad annoying and also kind of against the Title Fairy's rules! Read the OP, especially the part about advocating for one's own title! It's a good way to not get it and does clutter the thread. Yes, jokingly nominating and Nthing you cluttered a bit but it was a few fun posts. It's now many posts. If you feel like it you can read through for a whole discussion on title self-promotion we had recently.

I think that above sentence pretty much sums up that "I deleted my main" is a poor title in concept alone, although even if it was a good concept I'm sure there would be better ways to word the title.

Because he couldnt delete it, he scrambled his password, making it inaccessible!

I think the use of Klingon was extremely fitting in that instance! The use of Greek, in this case, has yet to be proven so.

They are an amazing member of the team and I can't count the number of times they have stepped in to save the day when listmods are on vacations, lose access, resign, or whatever other reason comes about which prevents them from updating queues! They even have had to juggle multiples queues at once before, and do a fantastic job of it!

They have a special role in the forum and I don't see why it shouldn't be congratulated! They put a lot of work into the forum to keep it going, and are always there to do what is needed.

It is arguable, if you take this stance, that there is no reason for Zor to have Consigliere, as iirc the reason was "Lol look at Mith's title of Godfather for being the Forum Godfather! Let's give Zor one to match because of his position!"

I like you, Psyche. But this is bad. This goes against the whole spirit of the position and the history of every title fairy that came before you. It's just a lazy popularity contest now.

If you dislike putting the time into the position or you don't want to be disliked for making unpopular judgement calls, then step down.

Otherwise petition Zor and Kison to let everybody edit their own titles instead of implementing this populist clique-promoting monstrosity.

Was titling not always popularity?

Like, don't just give a title because "another alt!" Give a title because it means something!

Or as Accountant put it: Subject: Title Fairy: Killer App Edition (Swipe Right!)

Accountant wrote:one question I'd ask though grey, is that titles are supposed to represent something unique and memorable about the user. in this case, shouldn't your title for mastina reference those extraordinary traits of hers rather than it merely being a third iteration? After all, a third iteration is itself not something that is remarkable, unique or memorable.

Maybe like, "

" for the song reference but thats still not it.

He is extremely good at creating fun, complex, beautiful setups that people flock to and nominate every year! He really deserves recognition for it!

I had thought of

Largely Complex

but Iunno, we should be able to do better! Maybe somethong that also references the fact that, like his avatar, his setups appear one way until you know what you are looking at, and then they morph into something so much more complex yet seamless and really are a thing of beauty.

Hey, you have the final say in making it a good title

Aristophanes · Thu May 31, 2018 11:37 am

In post 6072, vonflare wrote:is that necessarily bad though? This one works on many levels.

What makes a title good is 2 factors IMO:

1) immediate appeal/understanding
e.g. "it's pronounced xalxe" is immediately appealing because a new user would read it and be like "haha that's funny because you can't hear how to pronounce something by reading it"
"GD is my best man" is immediately appealing because it implies that a user had mafiascum attend their wedding. I will admit that I actually have no idea what the story is behind reck's title but the title itself is interesting because of the implication.

2) backstory/community value
e.g. cheet's "MS Painter" or ether's "Lyrical Rampage" are titles given for interactions within the community and require a deeper understanding and community involvement to really 'get'. But it feels good to 'get' the title (not 'get' as in receive, but 'get' as in understand).

If a title combines both of these criteria - appealing to a new user/someone who isn't aware of the backstory AS WELL AS amusing to users who know the backstory - then it is good.

That makes my title bad - it makes no sense out of context and could mean anything at all to a new user. But that's fine because if I had a good title I'd be forced to live to a higher standard.

Circling back to maria's title, I argue that it fits both of these criteria to a degree. A new user would immediately understand "the more the... oh! MariaR! The more the merrier!" And while that's certainly not worthy of a title by itself it ties into maria's usage of alts, creating a broader meaning for those that know her. So it has an immediately obvious joke that a new user could understand as well as an interesting connotation that is known by the community.

Well, dude, that's the thing. What if, on second day or something, he exposed the other guy as scum and got his partner killed? Everyone would think he was actually the cop and then he'd have free reign to investigate town while seeming like a good guy.
