I got that half (seeing Heaven Sent was easy) but the half which took me a while to get was "what's the 'scent' part referring to?" before I made the connection to scent-->detective terminology-->Nancy Drew being a detective series.

Anti-nom Heaven Scent simply for all the explaining that is being done about it.

If it requires this much now, it would be an annoyance having to repeat it to others in the future.

No objection to Nancy getting a title in general, i just don't think that's the best one to give to anyone.

Nobody really explains past titles from what I've seen, so that's not really a concern from my view. I do feel like Heaven Scent is reaching a little hard to make the pun work and that maybe folks who know her could do better, but unfortunately I don't have any suggestions.

Agree that heaven sent/scent is a reach.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I feel I don't know Nancy that well eve thought we've played a few times and talked on discord a time or two. I agree that she seems very nice though. I can tell you that she likes to hydra so if we are assigning her a title something about hydrating might be a good start
She also likes movies and I know that a few/all of her avatars have been movie things.

What about emotional scene? Nancy puts slot of emotion into her games and like I said she likes movies

Yes. All titles must be awarded before the heat death of the universe.


I'd support emotion picture and recommended for you. Heaven Scent and Reconsider It! just aren't great titles imo.

Also :lol: @ Ari, esurio's had the title for a while now.

FWIW, I think titling Nancy based on her username being Nancy Drew doesn't really fit. iirc when we made Little Grey Cells she mentioned that she doesn't identify much with the mystery genre (It's a Hercule Poirot reference) and there's a lot about her that is much more iconic.

I have to
Antinom Emotion Picture
and strongly recommend against anything to do with emotional outbursts or manipulation for Nancy. She's a sensitive person and this risks flaring up some personal trauma, which a title should never be a reminder of.

I tend to read the title as referring to Nancy's empathy and the way she gets her best reads on other players, Ari
