I think a list of all current titles and their nths would be ideal.

In post 624, Majiffy wrote:Quickdraw is cool but I like Precision Brushstroke personally
I did consider
Precision QuickDraw
or
Precise QuickDraw
when I suggested "QuickDraw or some variant thereof" as…well. Variants of the idea.

But my feelings there are mixed: while a more descriptive, accurate title for conveying the concepts of both art and laser tag, it's not quite as catchy, in my opinion.

Basically, QuickDraw is a simple, elegant, catchy title, but is a bit of a stretch for the laser tag connotation intended (and while Chickadee DOES produce art at fast speeds, the speed of the drawing isn't what's special about it).

Precise/Precision QuickDraw conveys the intended meaning much more clearly, but is a bit clunky.

I'm fine with a lot of the suggestions folks have made including QuickDraw, but I'd really like to know DRK's thoughts on some of these since I guess her opinion is the one we have to have swayed

There's a general lack of clarity to the nominations that have been made. Quickdraw is snappy and references both art and lasers, but I don't think it does either thing
well
. You don't draw a laser tag gun (or do you? I don't think you do....) and it makes it sound as though the speed of Chickadee's art is what makes it notable. Precision brushstroke doesn't make a particularly good reference to lasers and the attempt to do so weakens it as far as its ability to reference her art. I get that there's interest here in getting both of these things into a title, but the nominations that are coming out of it are forced and I think either dropping the laser component or waiting a bit will lead to something better here.

Percision is a fine as fuck reference to lasers they’re the most accurate thing on the planet.
What more could u possibly ask for.
Like, I may not have the biggest dictionary on the planet earth, but I sure as hell don’t know any way to make it a good reference other then “
Percision Artist
” which is also a proper noun.

Guys, lets respect this and do better! DRK has a high standard for titles and I think that's what we needed as we had gotten a little lax and silly here. I hope we can come up with the perfect title :)

Like, I’ll push this more.
An Artist is someone who has a passion for their craft. Artists have a passion for art, Actors have a passion for theatre, dancers have a passion for dancing, etc etc.
Chickadee IS an Artist. She does Art.
She also has a passion for laser tag.

Percision Artist not only SOUNDS like a title due to it being a noun but takes the laser tag reference and her passion for art and combines them. Chickadee’s art is effectively Laser Tag.

Also as another plus
U could Literally look at Percision Artist as a title, be told it was a title (but not who it is assigned it) and go “That’s Chickadee’s title” Which is BY THE WAY, what titles are supposed to represent.
