If I'm allowed to do this, I'd like to

nominate Syryana for the title "Pinball Wizard"

for "tilting [another player] off the face of the Earth" in a particular game.

[Aristophanes]

You're allowed to, but Pinball Wizard is in use and I don't understand the nom...

[Syryana]

If Pinball Wizard is in use, don't worry about it. Thanks Kilga!

[Ythan]

How often is someone nominated for a title already belonging to another user?

[Silverclaw]

Basically never, but when it happens the user hasn't been active for some time so the title gets forgotten.

[Ythan]

This is a momentous occasion let's not let that go unnoted.

[Aristophanes]

May I retract that statement?

I distinctly remember it being in use, but cannot find it in a search.

I still don't understand the nom, but it's viable

[Cabd]

It's not a good look to celebrate tilting another scummer.

I would much rather make a counter-nom:

"Always Andy"

Syryana changes his avatar so often, he could make a photo calendar every year with unique ones. Usually, it's a reference to a completed game. That said, there's one thing that is ALWAYS the same. And that's the base character being featured is always Andy from Advance Wars.

[Gamma Emerald]

is there a reason Andy is affiliated with him?

[fferyllt]

nth Always Andy!

[Nahdia]

it's an instance i think an avatar-based title is maybe justified but maybe there's maybe something a bit more clever there.

Clone Andy?

[Ythan]

Do we have anyone who actually knows about Advance Wars who can weigh in because I do not.

[Nahdia]

Clone Andy is a reference to the game!

[the worst]

It's not a good look to celebrate tilting another scummer.

well said, agree strongly

always Andy is rly cute, clone Andy is cool too, I'd nth whichever goes down better

if the Andy avatar legacy thing is true think this is probably one of those things which surpasses "title based on avatar" and enters "title based on Andy being associated with forum identity" which totally checks out (see: duck)

[Isis]

Clone andy does have his own sprite, but the third game also has a shop where you can buy new costumes for the CO

[Cabd]

Yeah it goes back at least seven years now.

[Gamma Emerald]

Clone Andy was actually a thing twice

[Isis]

Clone Andy was actually a thing twice

I don't think that's right, that seems like a Mandela effect of the fourth game heavily featuring clones, but not Andy, the third game including a clone andy, and the second game including andy and in some ways having a tone more like the fourth, but no clones.

Unless you mean clone andy appears 2 separate times in the third game, or you mean Sryryana has changed his avatar to Clone Andy himself two separate times.

They are pretty old games though, so if you produced a GBA screenshot of a cloned Andy I would be startled but not shocked.

[Gamma Emerald]

Clone Andy was a thing in the very first Advance Wars game
