Dance of the Title Thread: Resurgence in wild?

[Nahdia]

Yeah "Lo and behold" is just like, a phrase. Maybe a bit out of use at this point, but it doesn't make me think of magic shows..?

[Nahdia]

last laugh sounds too much like it's just about scumplay.


what about

The Last Hurrah

. Captures both town and scum nicely, I think.

I'm very eh on Last Hurrah. I get it, but to me it feels like it's trying to please everyone.

[Jingle]

I still vastly prefer XLo to ELo, although I admit I’m probably the minority there.

I’m not sure what’s wrong with trying to please everyone if the end result is that the person getting the title can choose a title they like, tbh.

[Aristophanes]

ELoped

because they run away with the game in endgame

[Jingle]

That might be good enough of a pun to get over my dislike of ELO tbh.

[Ariel]

I'm very eh on Last Hurrah. I get it, but to me it feels like it's trying to please everyone.

To me, Elo and Behold and variants feel more forced, and "Last Laugh" would be a better title for someone who is more of a comedian. Last Hurrah feels more organically like what the original nom was trying to capture

[Wooper]

did someone say unwanted opinions are wanted ~

nth last hurrah

this is kinda generally/holistically on point but flicks off the tongue a fair bit less than last laugh

may be worth mentioning like fwiw, i guess that skitter tends to not just be very good at both alignments but literally victoriously endgame as both alignments

they're both good nom/variations
elo and behold is also like, reasonable, but very different, imo

wooper, president of the skitter fanclub, signing out

[Wooper]

strangely last laugh actually resonates w me more w/r/t townplay than scumplay
liek u can fool her today
but she'll have the last laugh
and so forth
idk

[Isis]

nth last hurrah

[Nahdia]

hmm now im wondering if The Grand Finale sounds better? or is that too showy? so many possibilities!

[Isis]

Third Ring

[Menalque]

nth last laugh for skitt

[Menalque]

I like the alliteration and I don’t think it’s geared towards scumplay but more just towards skitt’s excellent play as both alignments in endgames, also her meticulous planning for endgames when scum meaning that even if she foresees herself going down she can still set her team up to win

Also, if still relevant, I didn’t check timings

nth Best in Class for Isis

[word321]

Im nominating Marashu for the title

Gamblers Fallacy

This guys mafia history consists of 4 newbie games and an open game with a 3scum/10town setup; yet he has

failed to roll town till now

.
To put that into perspective, the odds of that ocurring are 16/28231, 0.0562766%, 0.000562766 in 1, 1 in 1777 or 3.34 standards deviations over the mean in a normal distribution.

It is a rare ocurrance

.
About how well this can evolve, it is still a good joke that evokes a players first games on the community, and is one of those things that, when asked about the title, can lead to a good anecdote to share.

So I find it overall a good title; lets see what the rest of the community thinks of it.

(For those of u that dnt know, The gamblers fallacy is in general terms believing that previous results of independent distributions can alter the probabilities of further results, like thinking that for getting 3 heads when tossing a coin it is either less likely to get more heads, cause it "must return to the mean", or more likely to get more heads)

[Haschel Cedricson]

Nominate davesaz for

Laser-Guided Bomb

. He's a man who has explosive takes and he always delivers them with pinpoint accuracy. The laser part is a double reference to him being a big supporter of rules regarding laser pointers, so that's a clever second layer that everyone can enjoy.

[Isis]

It doesn't say anything about Marashu; he had no control over his alignment.

We wouldn't title someone for being exactly the thousandth registrant on the site, either, or at least I hope we wouldn't.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Nominate Dr Easy Bake for

sledgehammer

cus he hammers a L-1 wagon at every opportunity he get's.

[Isis]

Nth

[Haschel Cedricson]

Also nominating panthaleon for

Carpe Denim

. Besides the obvious joke on pants and his nickname, he is primarily known for being a leftist supporting the seizing capital from the bourgeois and seizing housing from landlords.

[Nahdia]
