Nominate the worst for Gives a Duck

Nth, although also suggest "

Plucka

" or "

Plucka Duck

", since 4) He's aussie.

Having a duck-related title for the worst makes sense, but the reasoning for "Gives a Duck" feels a bit shoehorned in to make the wordplay work. Perhaps either another direction for that title or confirmation that the worst really does care about things in a way that stands out would be good.


Also the period in Psyche's current title is practically criminal and I can't believe it's been there all this time.

[Chickadee]

I

nth

Gives a Duck. He’s always been there to listen to me and he genuinely cares.


However, I may have proof he’s not a duck.

[Mathdino]

i mean he's currently an admin of two mafiascum side discord servers, and jumped at the chance to make a server for his SUPP team

he's always super personable if you spend time on sitechat

i think this is a case of "you have to have encountered him in mafia or sitechat/discord to get it"
much like a lot of previous personality-based titles

3rd Gives a Duck

feel like this is an acceptable title for worst and encapsulates who he is rather well. Is it perfect? Probably not, but that's not the point.

[PenguinPower]

Absolutely support the worst for

Gives a Duck

[Pine]

Gives a Duck

is pretty good.

He's kind of the epitome of someone who just plain

cares,

and the wordplay is solid.

[vonflare]

nth gives a duck

[DeathRowKitty]

Okay, that'll do.

I'll give at least 24 hours from the time of this post for there to be hints of worthwhile objection and we can go from there.

nth the worst

[animorpherv1]

nominate Aronis for Dank Vader

This one's pretty simple, but Aronis is (IMO) mostly well known for making as many things as he can about Star Wars, and it's more or less been his shtick for some time. It's started to grow on me recently. The title's probably not the best, but I think he deserves a Star Wars title.

[Mathdino]

Can you link some stuff ani? I didn't know about that

[animorpherv1]

Take a look at anna's buisness thread in the speakeasy as an easy example, but Aronis doesn't post that frequently anymore.

This could only earn my support if Aronis is also a massive stoner. Otherwise it's just "ha HAA memes! I said dank! Get it?"

mate ducks aren't unique on this site.

my twitter handle has been nexustheduck for like 7 years.

[Psyche]

i dont like the ducks title i think it could equally well apply to a large number of people

[Nexus]

this is awkward i didn't realise it'd been nthed a bunch of times.

it's still not unique.

There's a clear difference between having "duck" as a part of your twitter handle and becoming widely recognized on the site for being a duck. Do a search for "duck" or "duckling" - it's mostly people referring to the worst. It's definitely a thing in site chat and there was an entire avatar trend based around his duck avatar. I think it's fair to say that he's been recognized as a duck to an extent that is unique on this site - with the exception of lalaladucks, but she has "duck" in her username, so that's different.


The other half of the title is the half I had concerns about, either for being insufficiently applicable to the worst or for being insufficiently unique to him. I've found the detailed explanations of the title very lacking, mostly reading to me as "There exist specific ways in which it is accurate to say that the worst cares about things," which would not at all be a good basis for a title. However, no one else's agreement with the title has made it seem like that's how they view it and the extent to which people were willing to pile on to agree with the title speaks to something. I can't remember specific examples of this to reference, but titles based on basic positive traits have tended to attract people popping in to say that either they don't think the trait applies quite enough to the person or that it's not central enough to how they view the person to warrant a title. The main thing I'm holding out for in the current waiting period on this title is for people familiar with the worst to drop by and give some of that expected sort of feedback. In the absence of such feedback, I think simply having a large enough number of people agree that this is a large part of how they view the worst is sufficient.

All that having been said, I don't think it would be an

amazing

title, but, in the absence of disagreement that's more specific to the worst, I do think it ticks all of the required boxes and that "improving" upon it would likely involve taking it in a different direction entirely, something for which there doesn't seem to be any interest.

Nom Elbirn for Meme Police

[Mathdino]

That's some quality title fairy content, goddamn

[Psyche]

i mean, of

course

"caring a lot" is not specific to the worst in any meaningful sense
it hardly needs to be said that there are loads of people on the site to whom the theme would apply to just as well or better

the duck thing seems to be the only thing making it distinctive / giving it value as a title, so i'm talking about that
and i don't think it does a very good job of being distinctive
you mention that lalaladucks is different because her username has ducks in it, but i don't think it's that different;
the key thing is that when i think of ducks and mafiascum at the same time, the worst simply isn't the first user to come to mind

[Mathdino]

That is... Odd
And I would expect is a symptom of not playing mafia that much
He's been in a lot of games and the avatar trend spread his reputation much

This might be a symptom of the disconnect between the current playerbase and the broader site community

I'm interested to see where DRK goes wrt that
