Nominate Cyrus62 for
Dealt with the Devil
for this

Long story short, a bunch of alternate wincons were present in this game. Cyrus was mafia and had to hammer his teammate or otherwise get an item that his teammate was holding. Two other town players (Pine and PenguinPower) had this same wincon. Cyrus made a deal with Pine and PP by outting his teammate with the item so that Cyrus could hammer the teammate and get the item to satisfy his alt wincondition. Much chaos ensued, but Cyrus was hung, followed by the outted teammate, which had the domino effect of causing the last mafia to concede. All because he made a little deal with the devil.

Pine is the devil because he is
devilishy good looking
good at scum.

Several titles are based off 1 time things. When something is iconic, it is iconic.

Maybe Pine’s title should be changed to something involving devils and deals...

It actually already is. But more than that, it's a reference to site history. I'm not above recommending a new Title for him if it fits better, but "In Your Head" is a high bar to hurdle.
What does his title reference?

I mean I could point to all the other titles currently in play that “enable toxicity” or “promote toxicity” as much as this title apparently does, but I think even if I did that people still wouldn’t support the title

Gobbldy, think a little more unique. What makes Skitter Ms. Mafia? Why is she so prolific? What about her play makes her stand out?
She’s the only player on the site that still reliably wins as scum anymore.

The fact that you have people disagreeing with you on this tells me you're wrong.
No one has disagreed with the basis for my title recommendation. They've disagreed with the title itself.
In post 2174, Equinox wrote:The thing is that "excellent scum record" is not a distinguishing feature in and of itself. It may be an exceptional quality in someone in a given generation, but there's usually at least one of those players in each mafiascum.net generation. Having a title strictly for being good at playing scum doesn't make those users stand out from the other top-tier scum players of mafiascum.net history unless there is another well-known defining characteristic. That may be why you are getting push-back on this title specifically.
I'm not sure I understand the point you're trying to make here. I agree that a title should be excellent scum record + personalization. I suggested the title to start discussion about skitter.

Is your goal here to trash the site's playerbase by inventing some brightline categories? Even if she's the highest winrate player on site, I've seen her lose recently so she doesn't have a perfect or essentially perfect winrate inherently worthy of special treatment.
How did you interpret my praise for skitter's scum game as an insult to the general ms.net player? :?
In post 2175, Enter wrote:Why is Skitter good at mafia is a reasonable starting place.
She is exceedingly good at talking her way out of getting lynched. One thing I have noticed about skitter's scum play is that she really only gets lynched due to mechanical guilties.

Looking at your bannered titles it appears to be 30 characters.

for MariaR? Connotations to MariaR being able to get close to people through masks (alt) and being good at scum

Although really i just want to say

but I’m not sure how into GOT mariar is. I do think it’s the most apt though :p
