Nom Dannflor for
Gentleman's Howl


1. Gentleman hits the note of his general playstyle being overall polite and easy to play with; it's very hard to impossible to hate or get angry at him in game
2. A Gentleman's howl can indicate BOTH town looking wolfy and scum looking townie; a wolf looking like a gentleman is harder to catch than a standard wolf, while a gentleman howling looks like a wolf despite not being a wolf. This is generally how consensus towards Dannflor's alignment turns out over time in my experience.
3. A somewhat distant this note it hits is that Dannflor can be quite active and be a strong voice (howling) when he is town (a gentleman)

there's probably even more that can be said can fit Dannflor but these are what I can come up with off the bat

Well now I have an extra title to consider dammit. :P

I'm postponing this until tomorrow, but will give word then unless someone comes up with another incredibly well thought out idea within the next 24 hours. :P

Honestly, there's either very little support or mixed support on basically every dann title

I mostly wanted to push it in another direction but that didn't really work either

The thought behind it is cool but Gentleman's Howl isn't an actual expression as far as I can tell and it feels a little like it's just abstracting away from the point of him being associated with being a DeepWolf.
When I see Gentleman's Howl I don't really intuitively think anything and I kind of expect that's what most people outside of those watching the thread right now will also feel.

I don't mind if mastina likes it and wants more discussion for it, but she was making it sound like it was literally in the running specifically because she likes it which is a bad reason for it to be in the running.

Schrödinger’s Deepwolf is best, I think, but why not just offer him his choice of the ones that have survived this long? I’d like to hear from Dann.

Disagree. As I see it the mod to the meme is there for people who would appreciate the meme, but to the uninitiated it just says that Dannflor is friendly and polite, even when wolfing. Which... is pretty true. Dannflor is one of the most consistently chill players on site and I think referring to the fact that he’s crazy easy to get along with enhances the title, not detracts from it.

yeah idk it doesn't really read like it's obvious that people are going to interpret it that way?

The possible connotations are cool and all but it would be neat if it was at least tied to some kind of existing phrase/idiom because otherwise it doesn't really feel grounded in anything real.

Like, what is a gentleman's howl? It isn't really anything obvious. Why is it inherently going to derive that positive interpretation?

And tbf I feel like I'm more just defending my stance rather than being actively opposed to it [and I was prompted to give my opinion, to be clear].

i don't know if i like this one. i feel that the Schrödinger’s [something] construction is both overplayed in general and misused here. i find the other Dann titles more appropriate as well. i might like it more if Dann had an interest in physics or philosophy.

I don't blame you for having that stance, cheet, I was just sharing how I saw it.

And I feel like the culture of werewolves = bad and gentlemans = good is pretty unanimous on this forum. :shrug:

I guess if the metaphor is overused he could more directly be called a quantum deepwolf.
But for the other objection Dannflor's avatar is from some tv show about time travel and has been so for a long while so I kind of yes speculated he maybe likes physics at least a little? Unless it's from a different show than I thought it was.

I think playing w dann is totally a matter of there simultaneously being a reality where he is just town and a reality where he is the deepwolf tbh, I specifically very much like the quantum aspect

he is also the tenth doctor as the lovely popsofctown observed but that feels auxiliary imo

It's not something I'm opposed to, but it also looks like it doesn't have much support behind it.

At this point, I think I am willing to forward on the following titles for Dannflor:
-
Sheep in Deepwolf's Clothing
. This title conveys the heart of the meme, while also having a common expression behind it to back it up. It's not a perfect title, and I recognize the valid criticism that it's a bit forced, but I feel like it's worth going forward for.
-
Is this a deepwolf?
. This title conveys the meme behind Dannflor fairly well. I recognize the criticism of it being a bit wordy for the idea, but I feel like it's good enough to move on to the next stage.
-
Deepwolf?
. This title has the simplicity behind it and is the closest to the original suggestion for him. I don't actually think there's much criticism for it other than preferring other options more, so it is definitely good enough to move on.
-
Schrödinger's Deepwolf
. This title conveys the meme; this title is a solid title. My only concern is, is it a good title for Dannflor? Because while it's a good title, and it's good at conveying the meme we're titling Dannflor for, I'm not sure it's a good title for Dannflor specifically. It's still good enough to move on for now tho.
-
Gentleman's Howl
. This one is the opposite of Schrodinger's Deepwolf. This title is a solid title, and this title is a title I feel is good for Dannflor, the thing is it doesn't really convey the meme which we started the titling process on Dannflor for; it doesn't invoke imagery of being a deepwolf. So why's it here? Because it's a good title, and a title I feel is fitting for Dannflor, which is more important than fitting the meme behind Dannflor.

As Ankamius said: every one of these titles has at least one person who thinks, "this is the best iteration of the title imo"; almost every one of the titles has at least one person who thinks, "this is the worst iteration of the title imo"; there's mixed support on most of them and no universal consensus as far as I can tell.

At this point, then, going to go forward with
72 hours
on each of them for Dannflor:
(expired on 2019-11-30 15:30:06).
If you are very very strongly opposed to some of these (and your opposition isn't, "I like a different title more"), state so now; if I get strong enough opposition, then that title/those titles may be removed.
Similarly, if you are very very strongly in favor to some of these and you don't want them removed, this would be your final chance to make sure they are pushed through.

In 72 hours, I'll be letting Dannflor pick from all the titles which remain from the above, because at this point, might as well leave it to him since I feel there's multiple good titles and I'm comfortable going forward with them.

On that note, we kinda droppd the discussion around PenguinPower's titles in favor of discussing Dannflor; I feel comfortable enough approving whichever variant of the title (if any) PP would want, between
.peng, .PENG, .PeNG, .P eN G, .P EN G (I believe those were the suggested iterations)
So, giving that 48 hours:
(expired on 2019-11-29 15:30:06)
Speak now, or forever hold your peace.

In doing the above, I did notice there were more nths for nsg's sorting hat than I thought. I thought it was like two or three, but turns out, yeah, it is like 7 or so.
I'm not opposed to the title, so I'll also be giving it the 48 hour treatment:
(expired on 2019-11-29 15:30:06)
So speak now, or forever hold your peace.
