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.

Too busy with work to play mafia right now but I shall return some day!
Routine day with a dirt cheap brush
Then a week goes by and it goes untouched
Then two, then three, then a month
Then the rest of your life, you beat yourself up
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.
Just sayin'
Although the border between madness and genius is very narrow.

Read Newbie 810. That's probably the most dramatic example.
. (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!

That is a hilarious post right there.
