Also anti-nom any Nancy title. Asking for titles is strictly Uncool.

Titles are a gift, not a right. You don’t get one just by putting in time.

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=80283

Dunnstral was my partner in the game above and our pair was T-T. However, everyone thought I was legitimately scummy and Dunnstral to be super towny so when everyone wanted to lynch me, everyone wanted to keep Dunnstral as a snowglobe because he town play was really good.

Sorry, I don't know if this is title worthy but it was a recurring joke in our game.

They can, just has to be notable and/or epic and worthy!

We have strayed from it, but used to be way more common if you look at old titles

I don't think this particular title is a great idea, but historically players with a strong presence in actual mafia games and a lighter or no presence in site ideas, mafia discussion, general discussion, and speakeasy subforums have been honored with titles before because mafia is what this site is about. nureins was the "old" TTTT at one point and time but had zero posts outside of the queues and mafia games and got a cool title
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."

I'm not outright antinomming. I'm biased because I used the word in the game. I have little idea to what extent the title would/wouldn't suit him in other ways.

This line pings me. Not really for the traditional scum-down-for-any-lynch reason, but just because it's the opposite of resonant to me the way this game has been going to want a pair around for a wee bit long but not to want the pair around for a long time longer. Bitmap's play has looked quite a bit scumflail but I wish I could put Dunnstral in a kakkoi snowglobe and keep him with us until endgame to keep reading this game. So there's pairs I want around a lot long and pairs I would just dayvig if I didn't feel obligated to minmax the deadline and not much in between. It feels like he's copypasting a line from a normal queue large that would work that doesn't work here, there's not going to be some near-future revelation about firebringer-shiro from night actions. Intermission is just going to remove Kagaiden or a widely townread pair and that's all the night actions for the rest of the game, and DV hasn't indicated some specific flip that would cause a paradigm shift on the pair (and I don't notice one anywhere)

The rest of his post covers enough ground without pinging me more but then I really don't like how the rest of the page goes.

In post 3426, Dunnstral wrote:Bitmap had a pretty good case against Deas early on in the pt, in that his iso is weak and sheeps general consensus
In a world where I am town, do I have reason to believe the general consensus is wrong?
General consensus is that Ceph/DV is likely to have scum, DV has stated a Ceph townread. This is an outright scumslip at its worst. But to characterize it with a less tabloidy headline this post worries me that it's Oka-DV-deepwolf and so DV just sees this as the safest way to play rather than making any maverick reads and risking assocs or just in general sending the game on a different path.

I'm pretty big on lynching this pair. I actually like it a good deal better than Bit/Dunn but I think this setup creates some value in solidarity with your partner and d2 bit pretty easily pulled me into compromise territory. Like I've said before I really like the idea of lynching a pair where it feels like either side could flip scum and although guessing the scum half correctly the first time is gonna take some wind out of the sails the principle still seems true.

Microprocessor
(could be capitalized or uncapitalized).

Everyone can go and see that he's modded a ton of micro games (to be precise, looking at the archives, fourteen of them!)

But beyond that, anyone in the normal review queue can tell you that he reviews micro normals. Like, *EVERY* micro normal. Maybe not every one of them but he has historically had a strong preference for reviewing them and has reviewed maybe dozens of micro normals. I swear to god that he has some script set up that alerts him when I post the number 9 in the normal review queue (that is, saying that there's a 9-player setup available for review). He has also scouted the normal queue thread for 9p setups that are going to be reviewable so he can get them.

Beyond that, anyone active in the open discussion subforum knows he's one of the most active people there. He brings a good analytical bent both in creating and reviewing setups and ideas, including computationally (example). Because of that (specifically because of the analytical nature of his contributions there) I think the microprocessor pun isn't *too* forced. But much more importantly than the pun he is literally processing a large number of micros, in reviews, and in moderating and in design.
Yeah this with either capitalization is solid enough to get the

I still say it should reference the fact that she’s probably fakeclaiming masons. Given her otherwise rigid stance on not fakeclaiming as town or scum.
