But I thought that song might not affect public consciousness as much as me so I hit the backspace key some.

Anyways you're awesomesauce Aristophanes.

I also worry that the title Alisae suggested is way too long to fit reasonably without using more than one line.

it fits, at least if using inspect element to test it is accurate.

besides, everyone knows that only the best and cleverest people have two line titles.

In post 2096, Kanna wrote:Actually,
Nom Isis for “Best in Class”

I think this suits her because
  • it’s a reference to her avatar, Scholarship Student Isis
  • it implies she’s “best in class,” no matter if it’s mafia, rpg class, or overall classiness
  • it’s fairly original(?)
I like this but I want more feedback from people on it.




When it comes to the MariaR proposed title of Twenty-Two Faced, on the one hand: I understand the title, like where it's coming from, get it, think it's neat and clever and all-around like it as a title, but this is a valid point:
In post 2111, Alisae wrote:I don't think Twenty Two Faced satisfies me here. Mostly because based on that title alone, if I to tell it to Beeboy and he had to guess who that was for, he would probably not guess MariaR and I wouldn't either.
Now, that might be because we know her a bit more and that because we're friends with her.
If the people onsite who're closest to MariaR don't have the same association with it, if the people who know her best don't connect the title with her, then it is probably not suited for her in spite of the merits behind the title.

Kinda dumb reasoning for rejection of MariaR title.

i like "best in class" as a title but i don't really understand the connection to isis.

i think taking alisae's objection as representative of multiple people's opinion is inaccurate, or at least unwarranted given what's been posted in the thread.

can i bring up "cult following" and jingle's current title again?

like take this for instance.

when you think of someone being two faced. Do you actually think of them in a "they are good at lying" or do you really think "they put up a false front", cause I don't think someone who is two faced = Good at scum. I just think of it as a fake person.

Today will be stricken from the public memory. We shall never again reference Firebringer being right about anything.

Is the Ultimate really necessary for Ali’s nom? Cosplaying Assassin sounds stronger imo and I don’t know that the danganronpa reference is truly integral. Like I don’t think specifically danganronpa when I think Maria. I think anime, sure, and multiple accounts, but I don’t think it’s integral to her as much as the rest of the title is.

I’d also support
Janus
as a nod to two faced without being as insulting, her membership in the ms pantheon, and because of janus’ ties to duality. Not really sure the Roman aspect fits with her character though, tbh.

If I was telling a joke about Danganronpa, I would not tell it to MariaR. I wouldn't think of her as a major fan or the perfect audience.

If you told me MariaR was your favorite Danganronpa character, I would tell you mine is Byakuya and fail to correct you.
