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

[shaft.ed]

Goon in the Palace.

If it can only be one line, I like this

[Glork]

Dark Assassin?

Too abstract, and it doesn't capture the whole "in the dark" means "aloof," which is certainly what Zor was in that game.

[Thok]

I still think "Overeager Assassin" captures the idea best. Goon in the Palace is good as well.

Is "Overeager Assassin in the Palace" too long?

[TheButtonmen]

Yes; 2 over the limit.

But Oman's title indicates that the limit will be around 26-30 characters

[Oman]

Sudo gets Pseudo Newbie.


There was no ultimate argument either way, everyone made really valid points. I am really happy with Pseudo Newbie's reference to A) Sudo's best newbie status B) the fact that he wasn't really a newbie, and C) his name.

Yes the pun is there, and I'm not a huge fan of that, but I think the focus isn't on the pun, the focus is elsewhere. Add that to no other titles really capturing the idea like this one does.

Best Newbie Since '08 gets a special mention for having everything required, but just didn't have the flow.

Decision is made, front page.

[Cybele]

I love you, Oman. Great abuse of power.

[PokerFace]

I am debating over my current title. I forget but was there a consensus for a new one for me involving neighbor's in the old thread? I am still kinda torn between what DGB, k-scope, simenon, and armlx coloberated to give me and the neighbor phenonomon i spawned. In general i prefer to be given or earn a title though so perhaps what i got reallly is best since i did create alts and enfluence enough setups neighborwise. So i think i'll be always associated with neighbors even if its not in my title or my sig

also i prefered: Best Newbie Since '08

and goon in the palace now sounds better then what i said before

[PokerFace]

Yep thought about it. definatly keeping what i got. I can always add neighbor to my sig if i really need to while what i got still suits me quite well.

ignore what i said i'm all good

also i prefered: Best Newbie Since '08

Weeeeeeell you're late to that party.

I'm happy to have an open discussion about your current title, or a PM one, let me know which you'd prefer.
EDIT: Disregard the end. Missed your last post.

[Herodotus]

Titles that don't wrap will vary in length, since we don't use a monospace font, and it'll depend on what font you're using for your browser. But Oman's title indicates that the limit will be around 26-30 characters, depending on how many 'l's and 'm's you have. "Assassins in the... nevermind" is about 2-3 characters too long, specifically (sidebar's likely to get a little wider in phpBB3, but probably not that much wider).

Easy solution: remove " the".

...so when do the titles get updated...

[shaft.ed]

usually once or twice a year about the time that scummy awards get updated

[hohum]

Nominate Ren for

The Rens

for the constant pronoun confusion (we, us vs I, me)

Surprised it hasn't gotten her lynched in a game yet.

[shaft.ed]

killah nine was a better gimmick IMHO

[Oman]

I'm not against it, as if it were offensive or anything, but is giving someone a title for a disorder really the best idea?

[Korts]

Also the account's been here a month. That's hardly enough to be a noted member of the community.

[Ren]

Hey, we have only played in 2 games and only been here for like 3 months so far so we don't think we are elligible.
"The minimum threshold for a title is six months on site."

It would be interesting to have a custom title but we haven't been around long enough yet. ^_^

Thanks for noming us though Hohum.

Oh well, I would have seconded it. It was fun replacing you, though.

As long as Ren/Rens isn't against it, I'd say it's good once she/them both are elligible and don't say no.

[shaft.ed]

this thread needs more zoraster titulation

[xRECKONERx]

This thread needs more actual updating of the titles

[Porochaz]

this thread needs more zoraster titillation

fixed.

[TheButtonmen]

Goon in the Palace.

[inHimshallibe]

Jackassassin?

[Oman]

Okay ladies and gents: Assassins in the yadda yadda is two lines, and that physically seems impossible in our current code.

For that reason I suggest we move onto one line titles.

I'm happy to put

Goon in the Palace

forward, but it really doesn't do it for me. I mean, I accept it could just be me, so I'm happy to roll it through anyway. I wouldn't mind a few people saying "Considering we can't have two lines: I really like GitP."

Go forward and be men. Stand proud. Make something of yourselves.
