If this is still a thing in 3 months maybe then it could be a title
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

Yeah I agree
My goat with the original nom was that it was very two-dimensional. Titles are supposed to be reflective of a person, right? So focusing on a single relatively obscure aspect of a person seems cheap.
But if it’s really an aspect of Chick’s personality like everyone is saying, there’s no reason for it to not be at least part of the equation.

Nom “lite art”
to get the ball rolling in that direction.

i like the laser tag inspiration and am glad to learn these neat new things about chickadee
eventually something else will come up that meshes well with it and creates the opportunity for something multidimensional

also it feels kinda nice not being title fairy today

We could go for Perfect Shot which would also reference the fact that her avis are alway a selfie.

Laser Precision
? The connection to art is a stretch, though--it makes it sound more like she has accurate Mafia reads.

Since I didn't read it, did anyone nominate
Lovely Bones
in the last discussion?

yeah but it doesn't focus on the art thing, and i remember reading on some title fairy thread in the past referencing a title towards anything avatar related is a no-go because avatar themes/trends/rules can change in future, and so title fairies don't like to use them as a basis for titles.

I'd prefer creative shot if we're trying to reference two things, as opposed to perfect shot

for which I like more without caring the reasons behind it, I like perfect shot better, as i think it sounds better than creative shot, and is a better reference to how good she is at lasertag.

while I topped her score in games, I did so with an accuracy between 5 and 10 percent, meanwhile her accuracy ranged from 30 to 80 percent.

great book
completely unrelated to bones though
and i dont think of anything to do with that book when thinking about chickadee

although she IS lovely
and the shtick on bones is funny.

the sentiment that it would be nice to include an art reference is a fair one, but imo the assertion that laser tag on its own isn't enough to justify a title is a dumb and incorrect one to me

anyway,

nominate Maruchan for passportent


that's a portmanteau of passport and portent, referring to her leaving her passport at home and having to wait several hours before getting it back. Maruchan's passport was the single most discussed topic at the entire meet and involved staged photos to make us believe that she had been detained by the military and that Majiffy got detained at the border. I'd be surprised if there was ever more then an hour that passed without someone making a passport joke.

I guess this one will probably get rejected on the same basis as pew pew but it's still something that absolutely deserves a title regardless of whatever arbitrary standards there are.

bone-a fide shot?

I do think laser tag alone is weak for a title (and pew pew is just a bad title regardless of justification), mostly because it has been very rarely discussed on site (her art has been way more of a topic, hell i believe her dislike for netrunner has been discussed in sitechat more than her love for laser tag >.<). I do think it makes for a fine part of a title though.

The primary things that I associate with Chickadee is:
- avatar is her face
- she makes a lot of jokes about killing people
- good artist, specializes in bones

I think a good title for Chickadee would be something charming while a little macabre, as evidenced by the latter two points. I like MTD's suggestion and think
Bone-a Fide
on its own is a decent pun title that works in those top three points pretty well. could perhaps use a little aesthetics workshopping.

As far as laser tag related titles go, Mina's definitely looks the best as a title. My own suggestion for a title in that area is
Deadly Aim
but... like, meh, it's not that clever
did another ms user do something lovely? recognize their achievements here!

Today's modern mafia consumer demands dozens, nay, hundreds of roles that are vanilla cops.
