Title Fairy: Out With The Orca, In With The Moogle

[yawetag]

This is a good basis for a nomination.... I would second either of the first two.

I would support

I am listening to...

. In the posts given, she says "I am," never "Currently" or "I'm."

[Mr. Flay]

The camn thing looks like fishing. Even if it isn't, the suggestions so far are weak.

DGB, please stop with the sciencelab thing here. It's off-topic.

Sudo getting "Newbie since 2008" seems quite good.

Like a broken record?

[Ythill]

It makes for a high post count and an iso that's a bitch to read

Yeah, trying to read Ythan in iso is like using a porcupine to sew on a button. Neto said it's an insult title but that was not at all intended, nor do I believe Ythan sees it that way. Otherwise I wouldn't have suggested it. Also, I don't think Ythan's playstyle is anti-town and comparing it to lurking is just wrong. Anyway, it seems like there's enough support for a title related to this habit, but The Hormel Kid is not good enough, so I did some brainstorming this morning and came up with a short list. I won't bother y'all with the whole thing. Instead I'll just revoke the Hormel nom and...

Nominate Ythan for

welcome to the haystack

.

On other topics: I agree that Sudo should get a title based on his ongoing best newbie status but I haven't seen one yet that really stands out to me. Forever Young is my fav so far but I think we can do better.

[Ythan]

I don't see it as an insult. It's a true evaluation of the way I play, can't disagree. Also that nomination or some variation thereon is beautiful.

[Shanba]

For sudo: "no added preservatives"?

[Sudo_Nym]

For sudo: "no added preservatives"?

"Newbie Classic"? "Newbier Than You"?

[Thok]

"Best Newbie Forever"?

[Ythan]

Newbie Classic.

[shaft.ed]

"Best Newbie Forever"?

or just BNF instead of BFF?

Don't like the camn thing, as others have said not strong.

Not digging the Ythan titles either.

[Ythill]

What? Shaft... buddy...

welcome to the haystack

totally rocks. I dare you to come up with a better one.

Sudo's needs to be better. He's been here long enough to deserve better. Also, he's been in my house, and likely will be again. I can't have people with bland titles in my house. It's on the lease.

[Ellibereth]

I like

Welcome to the Haystack

for Ythan.
Everytime I play with him/read a topic he's in though I think

Spamalot

but that's meh.

[Ythill]

Oooooooo, is that a second? My life's work is nearly complete.

[Ether]

I'm kind of eh on Haystack.

Camn's nomination seems...not perky enough. I dunno. It's clever, though.

I would just like to point out at this time that

Teenage Mother

was a much better title for Haylen than that crappy one she ended up with.

[shaft.ed]

To be fair I've never played with Ythan, so all I know of him is from his GD persona. Son of Ythill actually makes more sense to me than any of the other titles proposed.

[Ythan]

Was there ever any more to that than the shared Yth?

[shaft.ed]

The shared Y chromosome maybe?

I don't think that's how genetics works.

"Deus Res Novae"

[Oman]

From my perspective I feel thus about current nominations:

Ythan -
Welcome to the haystack is a good feel, I like it better than any of the others. The spam ones kind of miss the point that while he's posting huge amounts, it's not pointless. I lol'd at Ynslaught but am glad that has been pushed aside.

camn -
Yeah, look, I'm eh on it, but I can see why you feel it title worthy. Maybe if it could be something other than just "I am listening to something" because he listens to things! Get it?

Sudo -
I actually really, really like "Best Newbie" I think I prefer it with "Best Newbie Forever" or something that defines it as a constant. "Best Newbie since 2008" isn't a bad way of expressing it.



Just where I'd like to see things go. Also props to ether for being a minion on the username puns thing.

[Thok]

"The ADD Kid" for Ythan? (That sort of gets of gets the posting lots of little posts idea across, but also feels a bit too mean-spirited.)

[Korts]

Oman, have you approved the deletion of my title? If so, I'd love you ever so much more if you added it to the approved titles in the OP, I wouldn't want to miss out on the next batch that jeep/mith does.

[Ythan]

Far too single-minded for that. I tunnel on occasion.
