want?

It's a good thing this was all a joke that I missed by like 4 days because I would have had to make a very lengthy post turning this down and wondering why this was proposed for me at all and also been disappointed that this was the best anyone could finally think of for me after like 3 years, but also internally so grateful that someone finally remembered that I exist

[Elbirn]

Nth'd So Hard is a pretty amusing title tbh

It's p unironically good on at least several levels

[Elbirn]

vonflare needs less votes

Xcuse u

[Elbirn]

If I were the kind of person who made bad noms, I'd nom zakk for "zakk of All Trades"

[Elbirn]

I hereby proclaim April 22nd Doot Day.

I look forward to celebrating with you all tomorrow.

You know I'll be here *wink-snap-finger gun*

[Elbirn]

am concerned that it may not have accessible meaning to people beyond the faction of those who expressly support it

Correct.

nth Lily Leanan

it's clever and even if a bit obscure isn't like, 100% inside joke with no meaning to anyone not "in on it" or whatever.

Incorrect.

Furthermore, y'know, I've been dooting with the best of them but I really don't understand why Vonflare is "Doot". Does he in particular have an affinity for spooky scary skeletons? Is this notable? Is he any more a dooter than I am? Why aren't I "Doot"? Why isn't anyone else "Doot"?

[Elbirn]

Someday I will be title fairie and it will be an entire term length of literally no one getting a title.

[Elbirn]

Someday I will be title fairie and it will be an entire term length of literally no one getting a title.

That's what you get with this new age generation and their entitlement issues

Psyche's "hey come discuss" attitude is what gets you 100s of pages of people suggest dumb stuff like "doot" and "salmon! because salmon!" over and over and over. Psyche didn't learn from his predecessor's mistakes.

i considered the alternative but then when the thread was dead for two days i felt sad and lonely

What's the alternative? No one allowed to talk, thread is locked and you are arbiter of all decisions?

Is the better alternative to "sad and lonely" "entertained by shitposts and spam"?

Something something aren't we all, etc.

[Elbirn]

If there's a council and I'm not on it there will be blood

[Elbirn]

That is also correct, yes.

If I'm not there to at least play devils advocate and nay say all things, who knows what kind of stupid bullshit you people will push through

[Elbirn]

That is also correct, yes.

If I'm not there to at least play devils advocate and nay say all things, who knows what kind of stupid bullshit you people will push through

We would be the Yin and the Yang of this council!

It would be beautiful!

[Elbirn]

And since they abolished the penny in Canada

This + metric system + true healthcare makes Canada a superior country to the US.

Okay but when the cashier owes me three cents what happens

mwa ha ha ha! i am now the antithesis of titles.

you may all call me "

your blankness

"

Nom zakk for "

Your Blankness

"

[Elbirn]

I don't want 5 cents or 0 cents I want my fucking 3 cents

[Elbirn]

elbirn's true title is animu mike mcgee.

I was called that only once and I always felt it made more sense when my avatar was Dean

[Elbirn]

I've put zakk's title back to the standard. No more blank titles.

Zulfy was robbed.

[Elbirn]

All noms are bad. The entirety of this thread is people focusing more on trying to feel clever than they are actually trying to give noms that properly take stock of other people's traits and what they give to the community.

[Elbirn]

It's a thankless job but someone's gotta do it

[Elbirn]

Anti-nom someone does no deserve a title for being an obnoxious person.

[Elbirn]

N_m give me a title

[Elbirn]

Meme Police

He shoots he scores

[Elbirn]

Nah. It was fun, but nah.

When Ari rejects a nom you know you fucked up

[Elbirn]

Nth fery

Wait

Aren't you b&?

[Elbirn]

title ffery

Out.

[Elbirn]

I mean
Vaporwave is inherently a tongue in cheek satire of capitalism but is it really so overtly so that it is necessarily communist

Just nom them for "Macintosh 420" and be done with it


Unless I've over exaggerated their aesthetic but I mean that's all I see when I see giga

[Elbirn]

no posts for 2 days cmon people lets move

papa zito needs a new title, stat.

^ I was gonna respond to this with "Daddy" but forgot so good job kingsmeet

[Elbirn]

Also can we please stop ruining the word "daddy"

[Elbirn]

I was considering something along the lines of "vigilant" considering his history with vigilantes but I gave up when I couldn't think of anything good.

Nom RC for

Annie Get Your Gun

I know Annie Get Your Gun is a musical, and I don't know much about it, but that's not the point here.


Annie refers to RC's Annie obsession and Annie from LoL somewhat is how I would describe RC.
the "Get Your Gun" part reers to RC's play and his ability to sweep as town or destroy towns ingame.

There you go, shoehorn in the idea that it's a vigilante reference to even though I know nothing about rc and vigs

[Elbirn]

It's been suggested I think. Either that or a similar idea, and the response was "lol I'm not giving a title for having multiple alts go away"

[Elbirn]

Smooth criminal is good
Annie get your gun was good

There was no reason for either of those to get shot down

Rawr is so bad that it offends me deeply, why are we still floating this one

[Elbirn]

I maintain that people are more concerned with brute forcing their pet ideas through than they are actually coming up with an appropriate title for the recipient / work shopping good ideas with others feedback/criticism and I will continue to be really mean about it

[Elbirn]

That could be an intresting thread. There is something about rapid posting in mafia but that might not be the only reason. A thread about "Why you stopped playing mafia" or a "Site culture problems" thread might help with that.

1. Mafia isn't actually fun
2. Somewhere during my hiatus between the last hurrah of late 2016 and the present day, everyone become dainty little flowers that you can't argue with or you'll hurt their fee-fee's, and yet I don't see the change in the rules that made this so or what the line is so I just don't want to bother anymore and assume it was a cultural shift into weenie-ville

I'm more concerned about the spread of these demon girl avatars.

Yeah



Where can I get one?

[Elbirn]

BANNED in all caps would be aesthetic but yeah I think if you give a title it should be clear they were banned

I like your understanding of aesthetic but who's going to go to the trouble of going through the dusty tomes of ms history to update all the banned users

[Elbirn]

at least weep for me not would be a celebration of ms' history

How

[Elbirn]

can we at least try to be clever then "haha they are banned so BANNNED!!!" in this weird hypothetical.

It's not about being clever, it's about being able to identify banned users as such. It's a utility thing



Or at least that's what I was getting out of it

[Elbirn]

can we at least try to be clever then "haha they are banned so BANNNED!!!" in this weird hypothetical.

It's not about being clever, it's about being able to identify banned users as such. It's a utility thing



Or at least that's what I was getting out of it

Except that's pretty easily identifiable cause they've either A) been banned so long that you don't see their post unless you're looking for them or B) recent enough that you know without needing a big red identifier.

and as pysche already suggested, it isn't "artful"

This is irrelevant..?

And we probably shouldn't be rewarding banned users with a clever "artful" title trophy either

[Elbirn]

Except 90% of everyone on site wears a "uniform". Giving them a bland "banned" is still a cool custom title that would be exclusive to a subset of users that is smaller than "mafia scum" title group. "Weep for me not" would still be a "uniform" but at least it would artful and representative of the site

P.S cybele also not dead.

I guess but it's also not readily understood by everyone

[Elbirn]

I don't understand the resistance to this

If someone wanted to make a button that appeared in every post and it said "click me" In comic sans and when you clicked it it made a fart noise I would support it because it's more and more is always better

[Elbirn]

Dude I just want to be able to tell at a glance that someone got banned

Actually, I don't even. I just think it would be neat and there would be utility in it and if *insert current title fairies name here* felt like doing it moving forward I would nod and smile and then sip my coffee and go back to doing whatever it was I was doing before I was nodding and smiling and sipping my coffee

[Elbirn]

it's an opportunity to have a little fun at banned people's expense

How did a legit title nom for RC get shutdown harder than troll titles for banned users that won't care or won't matter.

It's like you're not even fucking listening to what I'm saying so fuck it

[Elbirn]

To be fair elbirn what you're saying is pretty silly

Except it really isn't

I see a utility in a thing
But davsto decides there isn't so I guess that, just like that, there must not be!
Then Psyche et all decide that what I'm saying is "let's make fun of banned users" when that is clearly not the intention
But then Panzer, who had previously been arguing against it, picks that up and runs with it to make it part of his personal agenda of "everyone else should stop being offended ever I'm panzer"

Like what even is this conversation?

This isn't even remotely important in the slightest but I'd have been happier if Psyche would have just said "hey, I just don't want to do that" rather than the past several pages of shitposting

[Elbirn]

vonflare's birthday came and went without him getting doot this is rather an outrage

30 pages of doot puns in protest?

30 pages of "

Nom Vonflare for Doot

" In protest.

[Elbirn]

no it's just a meme

I really like this as a response to anything

[Elbirn]

Gib me a tittle yew knobs

[Elbirn]

would you like ur title to be "tittle"

Gosh, probably

I see all these 2016ers getting titles and I'm like "eh, whatever" but I swear if

elbrin

gets a title before me I'm quitting the site

...Vonny I didn't know you had beef with me :/ this is sadness

[Elbirn]

meme police already reached 5 nths once, should just be granted

Aside from the extreme meta that is you force memeing this and me calling it out, it's just not an appropriate title and I don't feel like it reflects my personality in any way. If Psyche did offer it I'd probably turn it down.

[Elbirn]

tell me friends
what is keeping you personally from nominating other scummers for titles

My constant nay-saying finally shamed everyone out of making title noms

With my unfinished business complete, I can now find rest in the afterlife

[Elbirn]

Pls approve meme police for Elbirn

"Did his job"

[Elbirn]

And as a fitting follow up for mastina's post,

Nominate Aristophanes for Bust So Hard

*audible chuckle*

[Elbirn]

speaking of which how do you guys evaluate the possibility that the thread has lost verve bc of all the shitposting i allow

What does "verve" mean

[Elbirn]

Lol psyche actually just gave out lil quib with zero noms .

I think Psyche is having a

Psyche-otic

Breakdown

[Elbirn]

doot

doot Psyche

[Elbirn]

Has anyone

nominated Elbirn for Meme Police

recently?

meme police already reached 5 nths once, should just be granted

Aside from the extreme meta that is you force memeing this and me calling it out, it's just not an appropriate title and I don't feel like it reflects my personality in any way. If Psyche did offer it I'd probably turn it down.

I see no one understood my meme policing of my own meme

[Elbirn]

Nominate

Wraith

->

Soapbox Rant

I support the theme/context of this but think a better title is out there

[Elbirn]

Every time that I read "Open Book" under BBmolla's name I will think to myself "what book am I being commanded to open where is it why won't anyone help me who funded this"

Whereas every time I read "An Open Book" under BBmolla's name I will go "ah, that is a reference to a metaphor which quite nicely fits that fine fellow BBmolla's personality and sums up a substantial part of his contributions to this website upon which we play a text based version of a 70 year old parlor game because we do not have real friends no not a single one"


Don't make this mistake Psyche I love you

[Elbirn]

You mock me but deep down you

feel it as well

Join me

[Elbirn]

elbrin it is your destiny

*Elbirn

[Elbirn]

Wow look it is yet another instance of Elbirn policing people's spelling and grammar on this site. Typical typical behavior.

Wait.. maybe we're onto something here. Everyone on this site knows about Elbirn's penchant for painstakingly correct grammar and spelling. Maybe this could be the long awaited title for Elbirn that we've all been searching for?

Yes.. it's all falling into place now. All we need to do is get the ball rolling on some really good ideas and I think we should have yet another amazing title. I have an idea that may be just the ticket for this -

Nominate Elbirn for Spell in a Cell

The many many layers of meaning behind this nomination should be obvious, but just in case you don't understand greatest when it's presented to you, allow me to break this down:

Elbirn is like a cop, hunting down his unintelligible prey, showing them no mercy at every turn.
He locks them up in his correctional jail and as he turns to leave, the prisoner begs Elbirn to let them go and maybe even show them how to properly use the English language.
Elbirn looks back, tosses him a book that says "Dictionary" on the front and says "you'll just have to learn to Spell in a Cell".

I don't think "Elbirn is a grammar nazi" has ever been a thing but thanks for making me too self conscious to ever offer criticism

I had actually once considered having a really meta/ironic thread about how we're all illiterate apes who never end their sentences with proper punctuation but thought that only I would enjoy it

[Elbirn]

I think that adding a period at the end of a sentence makes it come across more aggressive.

[Elbirn]

Just shut up, no one gives a shit about your fuckwit opinion you stupid cunt.

Stop it
Don't bully people ;_;

[Elbirn]

All statements are now memes
All forms of disagreement are now meme policing

What dystopian hell scape have I laid witness to

[Elbirn]

Buttons what happened to you you used to nom good, non-shitty titles.

what if this is all a nefarious plot to make the tf thread actually on topic and active again with serious titling philosophy and nomination discussion

are you all falling for my long con

on that note id like to nom wrath for

The Proletariat

or

Fights for Us All

they aint perfect but its a good kick off point

areas to focus on being his communistic crusade against capitalism

Champion of The Proletariat, idk, something

Mulch should be Blast Processing
Mulch does what Nintendon't.
Etc

Alisae is cool but I don't really know how someone who joined this site after me is some old guard legend

Which isn't to say I disagree because I'm fine with this

[Elbirn]

Oh I believe, it's just weird to see

It's like errantparabola being part of site staff and beloved by all when I was in their first newbie game as an SE

Maybe I am old

[Elbirn]

What if you're so useless that you don't have a scummy victory OR a title? *thinking emoji*

[Elbirn]

I feel quite strongly that psyche is literally only doing this because programming is his hobby and he feels the need to cram it into everything he does

It will do at most very little, is probably more work than it is worth, does a job that doesn't need to exist, and many people find it more harmful than good, but psyche is going to do it anyway because for some reason this is the hill he wants to die on

It's stupid but it's happening with or without our consent

[Elbirn]

Funny Bones plural would be better.

i nth this too

This is...a little bit better but I still don't see being funny as being notable, but the reference to drawing bones is nice since she apparently does that thing

No I lied not good enough

[Elbirn]

You spelled controversial so wrong I forgot how to spell it myself

[Elbirn]

Okay but what program is this that Eli uses

[Elbirn]

Psyche stood up for himself and the public quickly let him know that they loved his spinelessness more than they liked his opinions.

Yeah am i the only one who thinks the title fairy should be a mad max barbarian warlord who ruled with an iron fist, cuz the past few pages of outbursts were just stupid

in honor of inifinty war i am randomly replacing 50% of all titles with doot

Still waiting for this

[Elbirn]

These aren't very clever or good

If I end all of my posts with xD from now on will I be nommed for it?

xD

[Elbirn]

Put your hands up, it's the meme police

xD

These aren't very clever or good

If I end all of my posts with xD from now on will I be nommed for it?

xD

That's already my thing! XD

xD

[Elbirn]

I'm indifferent, which allows me to take the moral high ground and call this conflict stupid

theres a moral high ground in a topic that discusses little strings of text?

yes, it's called not posting in the topic.

damn.

Hello Nahdia I feel I haven't seen your text words in several eternities okay goodbye nahdia

[Elbirn]

Assuming that we’re still active here during the interim period, I’d like to nominate Caled for

Takes No L’s

1) A reference to her username, which comes from caledfwlch (the L being replaced)
2) her tendency to use hewwo (see above)
3) her ability to remain optimistic and continue in spite of roadblocks, rather than “taking the L” (a common phrase used to indicate someone taking a loss, accepting defeat, failing, etc)

...is her name not "Caledfwitch"?

[Elbirn]

You mock me but all that did was confused the piss out of me and make me doubt my senses. For a brief moment I actually thought I was misreading her name all this time

Which might be a sign that the title is a bit too esoteric but I liked it anyway for points 2 and 3

[Elbirn]

Wait
Is this title going to get a rare Elbirn Nth!?!?

I dont think this has happened the whol of Psyche's reign!

What a wonderful departing gift this would be! XD

There have been plenty of titles I've liked

Maybe

[Elbirn]

the next phase of the title fairy selection process will involve a game of mafia between the finalists with PRs distributed according to how much i liked their initial applications

this is a funny joke i came up with

Psyche I thought I won by default

[Elbirn]

Hewwo = hello minus the Ls

You might think that nobody saw you do this but I did

[Elbirn]

I have bad news
there's an L in caled

We have been defeated for all time

[Elbirn]

Ive become that guy who naysays titles okay PP!

We are going to do great things together ari

[Elbirn]

I want to know what "scatman" has to do with varsoon

Like, does he have some love of free form jazz that I've never heard about? Does he get off on poop? It just doesn't seem like a good title at face value so I'm pretty on-board with changing it

That said largely complex sucks

But making note of his amazeballs modding ability is the right line of thinking

[Elbirn]

Drk is a good noodle well done
