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

[Ythan]

Mine first, you've only been here three years.

[Oman]

Well if we can get a good one that doesn't rely on the word pseudo (even if it contains it, just so long as it doesn't rely on it).

[Mr. Flay]

I still think Pseudo_Newbie is good

[Ythan]

New...do...

[Oman]

I still think Pseudo_Newbie is good

I'd roll with this one.


Sudo?

[Netopalis]

I think you need a password for that, unless you're already logged in under the administrator-level account.

[xRECKONERx]

I'm surprised.

[Oman]

Putting

Welcome to the Haystack

on the front page. I disagree that this is one of those titles promoting bad play.

[Korts]

I think "Best Used-to-Bie" would work better than Pseudo_Newbie.

[MichelSableheart]

@Oman: I think it would be useful if you kept a list of all suggestions made. Pseudo_Newbie does not stand out to me as the best suggestion that has been made. However, now that it's a couple of weeks later, it's quite a bit of work to delve through the thread to find them all.

Reading back, this is what I found:

• No longer new
  
• Pseudo_Newbie
  
• Best Usedbie
  
• Best Used-To-Be
  
• Forever Young
  
• Ponce the Leon
  
• Best Newbie
  
• newbie since 2008
  
• no added preservatives
  
• Newbie Classic
  
• Newbier then You
  
• Best Newbie Forever
  
• Deus Res Novae

Out of that list, Pseudo_Newbie seems not the best one to me. It relies almost solely on the username pun, and doesn't convey to me the fact that Sudo held the best newbie title for 2 years.

Out of that list, I like "No longer new", "Best used-to-be", "forever young", "Best Newbie", and "newbie since 2008" the best. Especially the last two seem good.

[Oman]

Thanks for the work on that Sable, I'll try to get those done when reviewing each title for approval.

Regards Pseudo newbie, I'd drop the underscore if it was added, it's already got enough in it without that.

But yes, there are some better ones out there as briefed.

[Ythill]

The list is very helpful. My favorite is:

Newbier then You

. Not only does it play on the scummy glitch, but it provides an interesting play on words for all the newbies Sudo ICs for.

I had a moment of inspiration about Reck's title. It's not really funny or unique that Reck is bi, or that he gets drunk and has embarassing sexual experiences. What's funny and unique about Reck is that he gets drunk and still manages to post in GD moments before having embarassing sexual experiences. Right? So here are some suggestions:

Posting = Foreplay
GD is my Wingman
Hold that Pose

I'm sure there are a ton of good ones if we brainstorm it from this angle.

That's no fun.

[Korts]

GD is My Wingman is great.

[Oman]

I like, I really do. See what Reck says.

[Mr. Flay]

I also like "Best Newbie" or "Newbier then You" for Sudo.

"GD is my Wingman" is probably the best yet for Reck.

[shaft.ed]

I prefer

Best Newbie since 2007

for Sudo

[PokerFace]

I am getting tired of all this title debating on some people. We should just wait til the right moment to give someone a title. Everyone does not need one and the more and more we think like that, the more and more the suggestions will suck

In other news
Sudo should be: New Kid on the block or Re-newable Resource or In other news
Reck should be: Bike-curious
and that would work well if sudo was in a boy band and reckoner previously had a moto instead of a car

[Ythan]

Nominate PokerFace to decide when the right moment is.

[xRECKONERx]

GD is my Wingman is fucking brilliant.

It's actually quite awesome.

Of the ones in the list for me, I like Pseudo_Newbie, Newbier Than You, and Best Newbie Forever best.

Though I stll think it would be funnier as Sudo_Newbie.

[Oman]

I'm gonna ponder Sudo's on my drive north today. Putting GD is my Wingman up now.
