Dance of the Title Fairy: Accepting Applications

[Cerberus v666]

Also, was the cool cucumbers the only hydra account on that list there? That's probably why it still has the banner, they took it off our mains.

[The Cool Cucumbers]

You may take from us our banner, but you will never take from us our freedom!

nope, there was also Plottin Kittehs, which has it's banner properly removed. However, the banner was NOT removed from its heads! Specifically, malakittens (since the other head, plotinus, has a normal title).

The other hydra that won a scummie had the opposite problem as you.

[Cerberus v666]

should I crosspost this into some sort of scummies thread as well?

pedit: lol

Yes. This certainly deserves a topic elsewhere as well. I'm not sure where would be best though. *shrug* It's a high visibility sort of change. Technically, the decision would be entirely the purview of the Title Fairy, but input from those who *don't* check out this thread would surely be worthwhile.

pedit: Lol, so silly. Your list should probably specify the hydra heads though, since it's not a proper list of who this change would have an effect on otherwise.

[vonflare]

Your list should probably specify the hydra heads though

it does actually! for the hydras I could find the heads for, anyway (ploteh kittens). Cucumber didn't have its heads in its sig.

Ohh. Sorry. I always sign every post I make in my hydrae, so I never bothered with listing membership in my hydra sigs.

I could crosspost it into the scummies judging subforum but no one would see it but us scummies judges so it's not a good place for discussion.

are there any other options? I feel like the title subforum would be the best place for this discussion though

pedit: well, it's convenient you read my post and could identify it for me though. I edited the heads into the original post

[Cerberus v666]

Yeah. :-/ I don't know, I'm not a big "member of the community" generally speaking, so I don't know where people talk.

The list might take a bit more work, because I know wgeurts at least has like 2 more scummies. One for the kodak moment, and one for best mechanic or game or something one year, iirc. For Evolution mafia i believe? I might be misremembering.

Still a pretty short list of people who aren't already titled and have multiple scummies.

[vonflare]

for people with multiple scummies I only included the earliest one they received, since I figure that "Kodak Moment 2012" is more prestigious than "Kodak Moment 2015" for example.

And on the length of the list, you're right that it's a pretty short list considering how long the scummies have been going on. Makes sense, though, that a lot of the people notable enough to receive a scummie is also popular enough to receive a title.

Ohhh.

My bad. You did specifically say that. Dunno if I like that or not. It's a solution, but kinda only if they won the same scummy in multiple years. If it's multiple different scummies, something else seems like it would make more sense, but I don't have an elegant solution in mind.

[vonflare]

I couldn't think of one either, so I just went for the first award. I'm open to suggestions on how to improve it, though. Psyche will probably want to weigh in too, so I'm waiting for that.

[Psyche]

could make a thread in site ideas but fine keep it in here if you want

[GreenLiquid]

vonflare asked me to chime in, and I wanted to propose an idea: doing this for only untitled users seems a little unfair to people who already have titles -- what if an extra info field was added to user profiles with a list of their scummies? That way, nobody would be left out, and users with multiple awards would have them all represented.

As for the original proposal, I think it's a nice idea even if it might be kind of weird seeing as nobody really knows me for modding games anymore. I guess it's just a neat nod to people's pasts.

[Mathdino]

Anti-nom any titles involving scummies more than I'd say 2 or 3 years old.

It just doesn't make sense. Something like "Rising Star" is really only applicable to the year in which it was given. A lot of the Kodak Moments aren't really interesting anymore. And Don Corleone probably shouldn't follow your account around for a decade.

I'd definitely accept putting titles for just last year (without the banner), but more than that feels like overload.

[vonflare]

I just feel like it's something that should've been done since the first scummies.

[Cerberus v666]

(I think we should keep track of the scummy history of the people in opposition and support of this, because I think the people supporting it theoretically benefit from the idea.)

O.o

[vonflare]

I don't benefit at all and I'm the one doing all the work!

[Cerberus v666]

I don't benefit at all and I'm the one doing all the work!

Oh, and the people opposing already have titles. So they would *never* benefit from this.

Another thing to note.

[Cerberus v666]

Okay, not all of them. Anyways. You get my point. It would be an interesting thing to look at. I'm going to leave this thread alone now because I've said more than my fair share already.

[Cheery Dog]

Doing past scummies as titles would invalidate Vi's title.

[Aristophanes]

Can we stack titles? Like add a line for each award win?

That would be cool would it not?

[Aristophanes]

And if someone already has a title it can be stacked underneath!

Like,

The joke
Your head

It had lines. Just do that

As someone who's stumbled into winning awards but feels their title is more representative of who they are as a human piece of filth, I wholeheartedly think this is the best solution.

Like, honestly, I like the format of my

i agree with this
