The way you all talk about his play, it's probably better if he had 100 different titles.

How long can a title be, code-wise? I say we give Ythan a title equal to one character longer.

Get it? It'll crash the site, similar to his ISO.

I haven't seen him flake numerous times, so no.

All the noms for Ythan are meh to me. I definitely think people might be on the right track, but I'd probably hold off on the title for a little to let his playstyle develop, that's just me.
are you thinking of me when you're with somebody else?

But a title should come naturally. This blatantly doesnt, all the titles thus far are almost hitting "its smells like shite but is it?" on the crap-o-meter. I think his spamming as well, whether pointless or not, does not deserve a title. Wait until he does something actually worth recognition.
Mostly retired. Unless you ask or it's something interesting.

from what little experience I have, you can make titles really long. They just don't want you to.

Hoopla probably does not need any title at all. Her glitch will always have "is having a birthday" under her name so I don't know if we need it there twice. Is it possible to have no title at all? not even Mafia Scum? What you guys think?

Titles have a character limit. If you try to make it longer, everything past the limit just won't appear. I'm pretty sure that Oman's last new title did this, so he switched back.
Also: that's a dumb title idea.

I disagree. I think that the reasoning behind this title came very naturally. Now we're just trying to find the best words to communicate that reason. In fact, I think if this sort of thing happened more, we wouldn't have so many obscure titles.

Abused my power to split the policy discussion to a thread about that.


Also abused my power to PM Camn about titles.

Nominate The Fonz for "I <3 policy lynching."

Yes, I realize that is in his sig. But it's probably the thing he's best known for as a mafia player, and giving it to him as a title can let him free up his sig for other things.
I replaced into Chess Mafia for 6 months, and all I got was a win and this lousy sig.
