No need to be snarky, mister; I actually say "Yarr!" ~5 times per day on average, just mostly in scumchat. My title is awesomely appropriate.

And feel free to make it "N moments of weakness don't justify a N+1th one."
Scumchat is awesome. Yarr!

How much 'N' does it take before it becomes a serious precedent?
Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.

My general feeling is that it's good to discuss the validity of a title in relation to the user. The point of a title is to sum up the user's presence on these boards, correct? Therefore, titles should be discussed in relation to this. However, in this instance and in several past instances this has not been the case. People come and they say "Herpa Derp rules about avatars" or whatever, which is a null point to the overall intention of a title first of all and second is most certainly not an equitably enforced rule. A title should point to something unique about the user and be a badge of acceptance into the community, be it related to an avatar or not. That's the ultimate goal. This was my point to Ythan, but he doesn't address it because he is incapable of doing so. He, like CES, is repeating the same tired rules that the GD/Scumchat frequenters cite ad nauseum without actually thinking about the title at all. Or turning to insults in a feeble attempt to prop up the nonsense he's pushing and save face and ego, but whatever. Perhaps Flaming Viking isn't the perfect title, but the point of this thread is to discuss titles and come up with something worthwhile, not to waggle your finger at people having the audacity to try and include others in the elite world of MS titling. So if you don't like a title, that's cool. Try to come up with something better and stop fooling yourself into believing there is some magic rulebook of standards that is strictly enforced on site, because there isn't.

I support Flaming Viking, by the way. I've seen some Zach games, and it does seem appropriate. ;)

I can support Flaming Viking too. I see him replace into games and go into like a Viking of some sort. Stu[id and brutal. No offense,

I've known that Zach liked the Minnesota Vikings but I never have heard him say a word about them. Though he probably has. I'm just saying I myself haven't heard it.

I've never seen Zach get all RAGE either.

I'd like to nominate VasudeVa for
Vuvuzela
. (The second 'V' can or could not be capitalized.) Unlike the last time this was brought forth, this is not a joke. While VV may look like a mild-mannered player he can get brutal.
For references, look at whenever he plays with Fate. And Sociopath. But namely his bickering with Fate for the entirety of Day Four in Lord of the Rings Mafia. And they were both town too. This is the best post he made all game, and pretty much made my day.

Vuvuzela works because its sums VV up. He can and will get riled up, and- like Stu in The Hangover- cannot shut up when he's agitated!

p.s. I considered
LegoVas

We have a title nomination thread? Wow. That was easy to miss.

Someone already nommed me before?

For starters ISO in all caps.

I can also become iso-immune if I so choose.

Also I don't get why people capitalize ISO like so. It's short for isolation, not an acronym.

Well, see, it looks cool. Which is the most important thing ever.

But I'm not really in favor of a title for a site glitch thingie.

For what reason? You didn't really present much other than a technical question: "Can titles be blank?" is what I took away.

The answer is yes, there are no technical limitations on titles being blank.
