for the mish mash community drench is iconic for this exact reason
im not sure there is another member of the MM community who is as easily identifiable by their posting style & obsession with voting/elections/voting systems

so i appreciate the non-mish mash people giving feedback but you're v wrong

that being said, i almost like the charm of "crucial waukesha voter" from "Crucial Waukesha County"

but something else might work too.

because drench's posting is pretty much limited to mish mash & the politics threads.
so if you don't frequent those, you won't see it or get it

there are plenty of titles given out that i dont get but i dont come in here going WAHHH IM NOT PART OF SITECHAT SO I DONT GET IT

for me drench is immediately associated with:
- voting obsessions/politics
- being really gay
- survivor
- musical theater

In post 250, DeathRowKitty wrote:Alright, a bit to unpack here

To those objecting that Snuggly Duckling is bad because it's just an avatar-based title, I think the sentiment is misguided. The (slightly annoying tbh) avatar trend that formed around the worst's duckling avatar was memorable and the worst is known widely as a duckling. While that image was created partly with the help of the avatar, it's one that would persist if he were to change to a non-duckling avatar and I think that's the relevant test here. Avatars can help give rise to titleworthy situations. As long as the title is able to stand independently of the continuing existence of the avatar, I fail to see the problem.

To the comment that Snuggly Duckling is a worse version of Snark Attack, I really hope "is as good as Snark Attack" isn't the standard to which we have to hold ourselves for titles or almost none will be approved.

Regarding the objection that "Snuggly" is unfitting, I do think the title is fitting as is and, while I respect the objection enough to have delayed 48 hours to give it time to play out, nominations coming from this direction were just strictly worse so....

Snuggly Duckling
is basically approved, you all have 24 hours to yell about capitalization or try to lead a last minute bandwagon onto something else.
see im pretty active and i thought that lalaladucks started that trend so /shrug

Swept the Jury
or
Jury Darling
are both good for hiplop
They refer to him getting no 0s from the SUPP
It's also a reference to Survivor/Big Brother, which is a section of the site that hiplop is very active in
On top of that, hiplop won the first EVER (and still only) unanimous jury vote in the site's history in Survivor: MLS winning it 10-0

In post 373, DeathRowKitty wrote:Okay, I am clueless on survivor, someone help me out here. How memorable/noteworthy is it that hiplop 10-0'd? The mafiascum thread for that game seems pretty quiet about it...was everyone hyped in private conversations/on whatever outside forum/is it something that people generally still remember now more than a year later? How does Chevre's objection play into all of this?
people definitely still talk about MLS a year later, though probably not that win specifically

It's more tongue-in-cheek than anything
