I think her online presence is that she's real life her. Her avatar is her and she shares a bunch, a real life title reflects how she is on ms since she is real.In post 470, DeathRowKitty wrote:hardly even seems related to Chickadee's MS presence.This is my life now

I just checked and this was actually in the Toronto discord, not the thread, but here's a transcript:In post 472, xyzzy wrote:nth pew pew
even if you weren't at Toronto Meet, Chickadee's knowledge and enthusiasm for laser tag was a thing she'd talked about extensively elsewhere, so the "this is about one specific event" argument isn't even valid (note that I immediately responded in thread that she'd definitely be in for laser tag before she even saw the discussion about it—I saw the words "laser tag" and immediately knew that would be one of her top priorities because of how much it had been talked about).

@chickadee will laser tag
discord doesn't give precise transcripts, but that all happened within about a minute -- even before I committed to doing it myself, I was 100% sure Chickadee would do it from the moment laser tag was even brought up. "Chickadee really, really loves laser tag" was a known thing even before the meet.-

Reiterating that one person (you) associated Chickadee with laser tag doesn't further the idea that it's something she's known for on MS. It means that it's something you knew about her.
Anyway, if others would like to chime in and correct the record for me, we can come back to this (preferably with something more clever than "pew pew"), but for now this is just a hard no.-

8. Her MS Username is based off of laser tag.In post 467, Maruchan wrote:reasons I think this is good title:
1. Laser Tag is a Big Deal to chickadee, so I think relating her internet life to her real life life will be something she appreciates, in that it incorporates an aspect of her personal identity that for many years held extremely high value to her.
2. She literally knows more about laser tag than anyone else I have ever met in my life, and not just at this place, or on this one event or etc. There are apparently 4 majorly-used operating systems for the laser tag equipment most laser tag places use, and she is quite familiar with all of them, and the differences between them. Her favorite OS she is beyond knowledgeable about, to the point she was teaching the Canadians who owned the shop about their own setup.
3. With the sole exception of myself (and even then only in about half of the games), she was the top player, and in most games scored in the realm of TWICE the next highest player's score (bar myself for the games where i was rivaling/exceeding her slightly). (I only rivaled her even because I was nearly as enthusiastic about laser tag in high school, but with less focus on the learning about the game/hardware/software and more focus on just the playing)
4. Outside of the overall specificity of the title, I think there is a more specific game (the first game we played) that had a notable event to myself that I will always think of when seeing this title. We literally tied to the SINGLE point in our first game of laser tag, while on opposite teams, while the next highest player on either team was multiple thousands of points behind either of us. We both score 14,109 points each in our first game. That was so hilariously random that I don't think I'll ever forget it.
5. A rather large portion of the speakeasy is familiar with the Toronto meet thread/discord and could see Chickadee's passion for laser tag from when it was first mentioned until it happened. we drove 40 minutes away from our lodging to go to the best place vice 5 minutes to the closest, purely off of chickadee's level of familiarity with the systems used.
6. It's cute and fun and short and can be explained as simply "She's a goddess at laser tag", which is concise and doesn't take a long explanation.

Her lasertag handle was based off of her High School Biology teacher's Student Nickname.In post 2, Chickadee wrote:Why did you choose your current username?
I played a lot of laser tag back in the day (when I lived close to a playable operating system) and this was the handle I chose for myself. My 500+ games were all under this handle. It came from my high school biology teacher. She used to call her students her chickadee’s.
Her MS username was based off of her lasertag handle.
Which is more meaningful to me:
Something I spent over 300 games playing (at twenty minutes a game, that's 6000 minutes or 100 hours) to get my name written on a wall, continued playing for likely tens if not hundreds of more hours after getting my name on a wall, and probably hundreds of dollars for said hours of playtime, to the point where i wasn't allowed to play with non-pro's like myself
something someone called me once or twice an hour for an hour a day for 5 days a week for 20 weeks that i then offhandedly used while registering for a game of lasertag before i fell in love with lasertag

Also I don't really see why people are hard-no'ing something the user in question wants and over 5 other users have already nth'ed.

- I agree that it's a good title
- The user says that they want the title

My username for the site was based off of the closest item to me when i was registering for the site.
I now willingly go by maru anytime I am around scummers, have changed my name from TheGavin on other websites to Maruchan, have multiple discord handles set to Maruchan, and have accepted that as a secondary "go to" option for internet username (behind the name mrcheeste0 I have used since 3rd grade)
Obviously, my discord handle is Maruchan based off of the fact that I ate maruchan noodles and left the packaging on my desk back in July 2011. Duh.ShowReturning to modding after a nearly two year hiatus!

Is your point here that your discord title should be "Mafia"...?
