April Title Event: Entitlement

Post Post #0 (isolation #0) » Wed Apr 01, 2020 9:48 am

This is the title event thread for April.
To make a normal nomination using the usual standard title nomination metrics, go here.
To discuss events, go here.

Entitlement:

For the duration of this month, players may post in this thread and ask to receive a title.
As long as the title otherwise follows title rules (not referring to an ongoing game, not obscene, etc.), for the duration of April (or until they ask for the title to be removed, whichever comes first), that player will then have that title.

From the week after this event ends, May 2nd - May 8th, there will be a review period.
During this review period, if enough people vote to keep a title and the person still approves of the title, then it will stay. (About five votes will be needed to stay.)
You may only vote to keep 1/6th of the total titles generated from this event. (If 6, you get one vote; 12, two votes; 24, four votes, etc.)
If someone votes to keep your title, you cannot vote to keep that person's title.

Titles not receiving sufficient support will, on May 9th, be removed.

As a matter of fact, yes. It's no coincidence I set that ban to expire May 1st.

(Anyway, site lag is too high for me to hand out titles now, will try again tomorrow when hopefully lag is lower or outright gone.)

Are we getting an extension for this?

The date's the same, it's just that right now I'm being a bit slower on giving the titles to accommodate for my availability. I'm aiming to hand them out at least 1-3 times a week, but I don't have the ability to give them 4-7 days a week.

This week is on the lower, once rather than 2/3 times, but it's still being done!

(I realize that said title is a combination of a username pun and an avatar pun but I can't help but find the trio of this hilarious.)

Hi guys, sorry I haven't been able to finish this event on time; last few days have had technical difficulties. (Today it was my computer, last three days before that my internet.)
I'll hand out the final titles and start the voting process hopefully tomorrow, barring any continued technical difficulties fucking me over.

Silver Bullet

Again, I do apologize for the lateness of giving these out and am truly sorry for it (to reiterate, it was due to unavoidable technical difficulties; can't give titles when I have literally no internet not even on my phone), but these have been handed out now.

Voting post to be posted shortly.

Votes are locked in, and will be tallying them and doing the official work later. (Not gonna promise an exact time/date, dunno when it'll be exactly, but it'll be some time vaguely soon.)

Post Post #95 (isolation #10) » Tue May 12, 2020 11:14 pm

Prodge of all sitewide activities for today - I promised you all yesterday that, yes, I would get to things soon, but anticipating that there was a very real chance I'd need to do this is

precisely

why I said I couldn't promise a date other than "soonish".

I am optimistic that I

should

have time for all of my duties, here included, come tomorrow. Still can't promise it for certain, but I don't think there's anything which would get in the way (whereas today, there was), so. Hopefully tomorrow, will be here.

Annadog40 - Eternally Broken: 1 (ceejayvinoya)
SleepyKrew - Mirthquake: 1 (ceejayvinoya)

I'm suddenly inexplicably heavily tired so I'll do the titles staying/not staying announcement when more lucid. (Short version, all titles that got at least six votes will stay if their scummers want them. Below that, you'll have to wait and see.)

Assuming the title holders are okay with their titles staying...

Approved Event Titles

:

Zaphkael

- Ghost Writer
Not only has overwhelming support, but is well-deserved as a title and if it went through the normal titling process would get my approval.
(That said--Zaphkael requested the removal of this title which is why you don't see it. User didn't want it.)

Alyssa the Lamb

- Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
Similarly, a title with strong support, appropriate for her, overall good title in my opinion and gets my stamp of approval.

Pink Ball

- Silver Bullet
Not gonna lie, this is one I don't get, but PB got more than enough support and I've set an established precedent that those with previous titles have somewhat less strict requirements to change their title.

GeorgeBailey

- GeorgeBailey
This is a meme I am not in on, so like the above, I don't actually get it, but I could at least guess and it does have support and I have seen the meme around so given these factors I feel like it is good enough to pass.

Doctor Pepper

- Coca-Cola
This one got a little less support, but I think I made it no secret that no matter how avatar-reliant it might be to convey the full joke, how much of a username pun-type title it may be, that I just really like it so...abuse of power, etc. etc.

Not Approved

:

Ariel

- edited 449 times in total

with a caveat

; I'm not approving this

right now

because I really don't understand the title and where it comes from and I don't think it's a good title,

but

, if someone can give me a convincing argument for why the title should be kept, then I can reinstate it (no need to take it to the title fairy thread proper, I just need a good argument sent via PM).

Hectic

- Water Slide Tester

with a caveat

; Identical to Ariel's title, I'm not approving this

right now

because I really don't understand the title and where it comes from and I don't think it's a good title,

but

, if someone can give me a convincing argument for why the title should be kept, then I can reinstate it (no need to take it to the title fairy thread proper, I just need a good argument sent via PM).

Kanna

- Innocent Child

with a caveat

; not identical to the above, this is a discussion that I feel belongs in the title fairy thread because of the debate about Kanna titling having been there. It might've died down in the past few months, but my call is that this should be settled through the normal titling process.

Captain the furret

- I can walk
This title didn't get enough overwhelming support, and it's not a title that I understand, so it doesn't get to go through.

Every other title not listed

Regardless of how good the titles might've been, they just didn't get the necessary support.

If you feel like a title that didn't get approved should've been approved (beyond the caveat ones)...well then, feel free to nominate it in the main thread!
