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?Half meme, Half real, All Aristophanes ;)- JingleAri has appeared way too competent for me to even pretend to know what they're thinking

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 wiseIn post 239, animorpherv1 wrote:First thing that comes to mind for Taly isIncredibly Bold.

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

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.

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, heIn post 253, Elbirn wrote:

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.
Honestly I don't see the appeal of that at all. I'd need to have it explained more.In post 253, Elbirn wrote:

Another one of the titles I feel is better is this one: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.- Nancy Drew 39

Another one could beBold Flavor
I don’t know Taly incredibly well, but if he’s a DnD guy,KoBoldmight work.
Really just trying toss around some idea to see what fits and what doesn’t. What else can be worked with bold?"Do I have permission to....refute some of the bs that Inferno just spewed out?"--TywinL

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 likeYour Name
B. [b.]Your name[/b] without the dot obviously
C. Your Name bolded and with code inbetween.| here.GTKAS- 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. - the worst
