Dance of the Title Thread: Resurgence in wild?

[Haschel Cedricson]

The exile thing was funny but I'm not sure it rises to the level of title-worthy.

"Silver Medalist" has potential, although I think we'd want to make absolutely sure that it reads as the compliment it's intended to be.

[Psyche]

"Still Smiling" might start to capture spirit of both noms, but maybe discards some flavor/specificity

[hellbooks]

what about like "all that glitters" or some thing

[mastina]

what about like "all that glitters" or some thing

I actually kinda like this.

[the worst]

I love both of the original noms, I feel like Silver Lining has been slept on as a kind of semi-abstract painting of both noms. All That Glitters is really good too.

[RH9]

what about like "all that glitters" or some thing

Nth.

[mastina]

At this point, gonna give

48 hours

on...basically giving DeasVail pick of the litter for these titles.

Speak now, or forever hold your peace.

(That said, I'll be late to actually message DV, since I'm gonna be hella busy for the next few days.)

[Shirou]

Finally...things are going back to normal again...?

It took awhile, but after we left our baby nominations underneath our online pillows for so long, the Title Fairy delivered the gifts in the end!

Hahahahah!!

there were so many people laughing at and doubting me!

But

I

knew

my parents would never lie to me. The

Title Fairy

*is* real,

doubters

.

Now hm...since

that

is solved, I suppose next in the list should be

Santa Claus

right...?

It's been almost one year since I moved out of my parents' house and no sign of the old man...

Hah

. I bet he's not a techie so since I moved out pretty close to Christmas, he couldn't google maps my new address or something?

Well, everything is going to be fine as long as he gets me something twice as expensive this year I guess...

Thanks for everything Miss Title Fairy! and I hope Santa Claus doesn't forget anyone again this upcoming Christmas!

(I'm so

excited

! I can barely

wait

!!!)

[NorwegianboyEE]

Does Santa even come to Brazil? There's not even snow there... And winter's in July...

[Ythan]

Canonically Santa does indeed deliver presents to children in the southern hemisphere.

[the worst]

as a child of the southern hemisphere, i'm disappointed to report that i've never even seen santa.

all the DV titles are good honestly.

[Pink Ball]

We have him as a hostage here in Chile

[Jingle]

It took awhile, but after we left our baby nominations underneath our online pillows for so long, the Title Fairy delivered the gifts in the end!

I'm a little saddened that everyone is more concerned with getting presents than with Shirou leaving babies beneath his pillow. Not surprised; just disappointed.

[DeasVail]

Oh sorry, I wasn’t paying enough attention to the site to notice this, but I love the noms. I really like the idea of working my uhh.. unfortunate survivor record into it and “silver lining” and “all that glitters” are probably my favourites.

If I had my pick, I would go with “all that glitters”. Super clever nom from hellbooks!

[Thestatusquo]

ship it.

Nominate ambic for Maniac Mastermind
Nominate ambic for Crime of Passion

As both a player and a mod, ambic puts his whole self into it and generates ideas with the fervor of a mad scientist. He ran two complex roleplaying style games to completion (Curse of Kowhai Mall & Curse of Rata Mall), which is historically the type of on-site project that tends to get mod abandoned. He has the willpower and commitment to see stuff through. All kinds of craziness went down in these, like in Rata Mall two players instantly died because they ignored an omen of red skulls and kept trying to brute force a password.

As far as what I'm trying to convey about his Survivor style as well, these folks said it better-

Wow, what a whirlwind. No, not the game, just this guy. It takes some courage to just bold faced lie to absolutely everyone all the time and expect to get away with it, but Jerboa got away with it again and again. Even when no one trusted him anymore, he was able to make himself needed to make plays, and so just kept surviving and being included on important votes. I don't know whether he chose this character because he's so jumpy, but that should be the reason. An absolute mess of frantic paranoia, unnecessary moves and takes on the game from the moon were the gifts that kept on giving, and this game was way more exciting for having him.¹

Theres a whole heap of shit being spread right now that Ive flipped, that ive leaked plans i know nothing about, including a plan to vote Raph. Its all lies. Im voting Shamir tonight, and godwilling im voting the mastermind of the chaos: Edelgard tomorrow

If you aren't the main character of this game then I'm not sure who is. I'm still wrapping my head around how two different people gave you idols. And whether or not you would admit it, you were responsible for a lot of the chaoticness and dynamicness of this game. It's also interesting that all three times you were voted followed your 'biggest' stunts (claiming to make Leicester to target a specific tribe to both tribes, Thanksgiving Rumours, and Saying you'll turn on Raphael then backing out)²

Michel, you bring a frenetic energy and a passion to any game you play. I loved having you in this game even though you gave me a heart attack once when I thought you had somehow broken the game. You throw yourself fully into a game and you try your hardest at every possible task.³

[Silverclaw]

2nd Maniac Mastermind

[VashtaNeurotic]

2nd Crime of Passion

[the worst]

again, both of those are fantastic. crime of passion really resonates from my impression but like, 2/2.

[Thestatusquo]

I love both of them

[mastina]

I'll see about progressing that tomorrow.

[mastina]

Oop, bit late, but:

48 hours

on

Maniac Mastermind

/

Crime of Passion

for

ambic

.

[ambic]

The weird thing is Rata mall heavily borrowed concepts from Maniac Mansion, an old style point and click game from like the 80s.

[Thestatusquo]

I'd be kind of disappointed if Ambic's title didn't involve his penchant for drawing pictures during the survivor games he plays. Imo that's one of the most defining and endearing parts of ambic. IDK if there's some way to include it.

[lilith2013]

What about Crayon of Passion, A Study in Passion, or Master of Design?
