Dance of the Title Thread: Resurgence in wild?

[Aristophanes]

Valid but

If the offer is made, can it not be accepted upon their return?

Is a sitebreak a good reason to deny a title?

[Ankamius]

I'm not saying don't do it, I'm saying that Taly probably won't be accepting a title since he is very unlikely to check in, so it might need to be rediscussed later or put on reserve for when/if he returns

[Elbirn]

I dont understand the point of this title.

[Elbirn]

First thing that comes to mind for Taly is

Incredibly Bold

. It fits his personality pretty well as well as his bolding people's usernames thing.

This title is neither a turn of phrase or wordplay or clever in anyway. Its just a statement. It'd be like offering me the title of "This guys a pedantic dickhead". At least this one comes with an explanation of why bold should be associated with Taly, even if no one has explained what makes Taly a "bold" person personality wise

what about "favors the bold"
do you think that it takes away from the double meaning of "taly is bold"

This is the closest to being clever anyone will get with this current train of thought

[Psyche]

titles noms these last ten pages have made me wonder if people have forgotten what titles are

[Irrelephant11]

wat r titles

[Psyche]

a title
is more than a title
rather like a kiss
a gangbang of kisses

[Taly]

shhh, im sitelurking until summer semester starts and will fade more indefinitely (which is in like 5 days)

my interest in and time for playing mafia is -100 and looks to remain that way, but im not 100% off discord (tho i have it temp uninstalled for a purpose), so the curiosity of scummers posting in threads ive posted in recently do remain

accept w/e title fits site rules that people vote on bby's

dont expect pop-up posts like these

+1

I agree.

antinom

I bold a lot of things too, so do a lot of people.

Taly posts more gifs to express his thoughts than most people.

Or “ex-Taly cult member”. Rethinking Alisae’s original nom.

or “gif me peace”

I kind of like that one the best.

Nominate Taly for “gif me peace”

And do it in bold font, if you like.

[mastina]

Would bolding in title work?

Sure would, but I'm just going to say "no" to the idea of putting a title in bold, that has as part of its title, "Bold". I.e., I wouldn't approve

Bold Choice

but would approve either Bold Choice or

Choice

, as a hypothetical.

Pick one, don't force both in because if you force both in...it's...well, forced.

Respectfully, I disagree with it not being wordplay; Incredibly Bold is a fairly common phrase, but in this case is incredibly descriptive of a key part of Taly's personality. Nobody else bolds things in the unique way he does, and so yes, he

is

incredibly bold compared to any other scummer. It's his signature shtick and I associate random boldness with him more than I do any other scummer.

There is however, a valid point.
Taly is not someone who I'd define as being a bold person, as in, "(of a person, action, or idea) showing an ability to take risks; confident and courageous.". He might have bold moments, but being a bold person is not a defining characteristic of who he is. The title of Incredibly Bold might not convey the intended meaning, as it could be construed as the definition above, rather than the intended definition.

what about "favors the bold"

Honestly I don't see the appeal of that at all. I'd need to have it explained more.

Another one of the titles I feel is better is this one:

How about

Going for the Bold?

Going for the Gold + Bold?

Because it is a turn of phrase turned into a pun and communicates the title's intention fairly clearly.
This is a title that I feel doesn't leave what Taly's thing is open to interpretation. Bold, here, is presented not as an adjective, but as a noun, which is the intended meaning.

So more or less, I'd encourage feedback on this or a similar one, a title which emphasizes Bold as a noun, not as an adjective, preferably with wordplay/puns/etc. involved.

Fortune's Favored

is my contribution but also the Taly title is incredibly mediocre so, shrug

[Psyche]

yah a lot of good riffs on the theme have come up (inc the above) but idk if the theme is a good match anyway

If titles have anything whatsoever to do with being a good fit for the poster, then I’d say no.

[Inferno390]

Another one could be

Bold Flavor

I don’t know Taly incredibly well, but if he’s a DnD guy,

KoBold

might work.

Really just trying toss around some idea to see what fits and what doesn’t. What else can be worked with bold?

[Inferno390]

Or we could just give him a title that’s the BBcode for bold.

[Jingle]

accept w/e title fits site rules that people vote on bby's

This blanket acceptance is a challenge that you, the members of the title thread, must meet. Find the most ridiculous Taly title mastina won't torpedo, and make him come back from hiatus to see it in all of his posts.

"This guys a pedantic dickhead"

Not to be pedantic, but dickhead seems pretty crude for our strict title criteria.

[Creature]

If you replace any "bold" with "bald", it will sound better.

I almost think I’d nth any of those suggestions just for the lulz.

tbh I don't think people will get it at first glance so no.
Lets edit it a bit tho

Your name

Now you got yourself a good title.

the code looks off but /shrug.


I think my preference would be either
A. "Your Name" should be in bold. so its like

Your Name

B. [b.]Your name[/b] without the dot obviously
C. Your Name bolded and with code inbetween.

[the worst]

kinda think this is less of a personality thing and more acknowledge his posting style. why compromise one when it can do both? just a title including "bold" is great.
