Nom Pops for Particular


I think this is probably the most accurate title I could think of for Pops. But maybe it’s becaise I have a lot of recent history with her. Whenever I read a Pops post she seems very particular. It isn’t a bad thing and I Hope Pops doesn’t take any of my suggestions as digs because they aren’t imo. Pops knows what she likes and isn’t afraid to tell people they don’t meet that standard. :giggle:

If you can’t have Tiara, take the next best thing yknow
I don't like this, but I can't really say why I don't like this. Like, everything you've said is true, but it still doesn't really fit.

I definitely think this is an avenue that should be explored though.

I think FotM was when Dann first got pinned into the "Probably a deepwolf" as town though. Like, No deadlines was when he proved he had a solid scumgame, but the meme started in/around FotM afaicr.

Wolf Pup...doesn't really is a title I look and say "Yeah, that really reminds me of Dann"

It's kind of really a compromising title as much as I want to give Dann a title about it.

1: Yo, general reminder to be nice.
Pretty sure that I don't actually have the ability to ban anyone from this subforum, but please conduct yourselves in a way where I wouldn't need to. Respect others, don't demand that you be respected, be polite, respect that others have opinions which you disagree with, and if you feel strongly enough, voice politely why you disagree, once, then move on. Don't keep spamming your stance.

2: I have heard the criticism of wolf pup, and agree with it strongly enough to not go through with it as a title.

That said,
3: I would love more feedback on this:
In post 1249, Jingle wrote:Nom Dann for

I think this captures the meme of "Dann always being accused of being a deepwolf" better, captures the cute-n-cuddly "I don't want to lynch Dann, even though he might akshually be scum" vibe I get from his scumplay, and captures the fact that he's basically the sacrificial lamb for which we blame all of the issues with AliPine. (DANNFLOR, WHY HAVE YOU BETRAYED ME?)
Because my gut first impression of this, is, I actually quite like it.
But since I did just go forward with almost approving wolf pup, I'm a bit hesitant to instantly approve of this, so want a lot more feedback on it.

I don't understand how deepwolf is not ok but a four word title containing deepwolf is ok and in the event they're both ok I think the simpler title is better?

This title is enough to remove my objection. Not saying I love it or would support it. But it doesnt fail in the way the other does

I'm going to again kind of just put up some possibly bad suggestions as usual to spark ideas...?

I'm almost accepting defeat to be fair...

Townblock's Miller

Supposed Deepwolf

Supposedly Red

Undercover Red

as Red as Green

Relatable Wolf


p-edit: I think I like
"Sheep In Deepwolf's Clothing"
too. It's a good title.

We should title him
Steve Smith


Steve Smith played Red Green, but calling him Red Green isn't Deepwolfy, whereas Steve Smith is. Also he can take a scumteam that is falling apart and hold it together like duct tape does. Also also, as I said, Red Green has the pun of being misread as town when scum, but titling him the actor that plays Red Green plays into the whole unsuspected part of things and really deepwolfs his title.

I actually think this is lretty good, and while it doesnt meet the "accessible by all those who read it even without context" thing we like to dtrive for, I think it is important that this title have spme mystery to it, because it takes a lot of digging to find out he's actually scum, so his title should reflect that.

Because the four word title containing deepwolf is not in of itself deepwolf; it is a variant based on the idea, which as I previously stated, I've no qualms about titling off of.

While it is undeniable that you can associate Dannwolf with being a deepwolf (or suspected of as much), vice versa is not the case--when I think deepwolf, I do NOT think of Dannflor. Because the term is generic and dozens of other scummers (myself among them!) Are, notably, known to have that quality.

There is a meme about Dann being a deepwolf, but he doesn't own the term deepwolf to the point where deepwolf in of itself is title worthy, because it fails to convey the history/narrative behind the meme.

Whereas a variant title can accomplish exactly that, being something which Dannflor owns, which makes me think of Dannflor, which conveys the narrative/story behind the title in a way which is distinctly his.

By that metric, is Sheep in Deepwolfs Clothing good enough? I actually think so, because it does fit my mental image of Dannflor, does convey the meme, but I still want more feedback on the idea.

antinom pup-peteer

antinom puppeteer

puppeteer suggests he's in control of things and a mastermind that manipulates players into his grasp which is very not true

and the pup part of it is just derivative, making the whole thing just not good

honestly
have we considered "The Deepwolf" for Dannflor

because thats the most fitting thing I can think of him.

no, "The Deepwolf" and "deepwolf" are not the same thing.
