Unshaded?
Not a laser tag reference. It's a double backhanded reference to her art (particularly since many of her drawings are of bones and shading is rather relevant there, but she does do a variety of things and to really know how accurate of a reference/backhanded reference it is I'd need her to chime in in theory esp. since she mentioned she does art not involving light, but fortunately it works both ways!), and to her mafia play (she considers herself lynchbait, i.e., often shaded), but a direct reference to her personality (she's generally open, face as avatar, sort of feels more generally like it captures a bit of her personality in a more broad way). There's something about the combination of backhanded/direct references that I think also sort of makes sense in and of itself.
I generally agree that while laser tag may be important to her it hasn't really been a big part of her site presence and it's a really easy thing to try to shoehorn in in a way that makes things worse/less elegant. I think she's much better/more broadly known for these kinds of things.- implosion

The point isn't that she doesn't have that association; the point is that that association isn't really what anyone who interacts with Chickadee on the site would think of primarily when they think of her. Just because her name was originally used as a handle for laser tag, doesn't mean that she's particularly noteworthy for laser tag in the community beyond the meet (and even then, only the ~half of the meet that played laser tag), and it doesn't mean that when people see the name Chickadee they immediately think "oh, she uses this handle because she used to use it for laser tag". At least, I had never seen anyone make mention of it; maybe a significant portion of the community had, but I'd interacted with her in sitechat (and occasionally mafia) plenty and never saw it mentioned.
I think it'd be great if there were a good title for her that incorporated it, but there are many other more notable aspects of her site presence that need to be the basis for a title to make sense as representing her presenceon MS.Copyright © MafiaScum. All rights reserved.
