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

I know you feel you need to

[Ythan]

You are much more astute than I give you credit for.

[Korts]

asstute is much more descriptive and appropriate

[Oman]

Oman, I was waiting for your approval. I'm not going to restore it automagically since technically it was just a Scummy title, not a TF title.

I'm all for it, Vi has expressed interest, and there hasn't been any massive objection (nor can I expect one).

I'm happy for it to be restored.

I laughed as Asstoot, I really did, and yes requesting titles is silly, but let's just let that go

[MagnaofIllusion]

This thread would be greatly improved by less pointless trolling (you know who you are) and more honest Title nominations.

In that vein ...

Nominate danakillsu for

Wants a Cape

Dana is carving out a niche for running comic-book (specifically mainstream Marvel / DC tights type comics) themed games that are enjoyable and well flavored and designed.

See the completed Secret Invasion Mini Theme, the currently running "Blackest Night" Large Theme. He's also put in to co-mod a Large Theme JLA / Avengers game soon.

Done.

I'm not sure that's the best idea we can give for dku.

NO CAPES!

Is there some kind of fake superhero alter-ego nickname we can give him

a la

The Caped Crusader?

Ugh.

Mr. Mxyzptlk

? He's kind of messing with the players' minds and the capes' lives...

This is a bad, bad reason to give someone a title.

[gandalf5166]

And yours isn't? You make threads about sex. Dana makes games about superheroes.

[Herodotus]

Right, that's a good reason to assign a title.
But don't forget what happened to Dollar Bill: capes are a liability to superheroes.

There have been worse, worse reasons to give titles that have gone through.
That this one has to do with Mafia is a welcome plus.

But don't forget what happened to Dollar Bill: capes are a liability to superheroes.

You need to watch The Incredibles again.

[gandalf5166]

I know, right? "NO capes".

[xRECKONERx]

So he's completed ONE superhero game and has ONE in progress, and that's enough to get him a title?

No.

[Vi]

You neglected the superhero game he called in the Large Theme after Blackest Night is done.

Also, again, I'm missing this lofty nature of titles that makes it a bad idea.

[xRECKONERx]

Look at the people on this site who have titles. They're not just handed out like candy, usually. Hey, look, I'm modding an entire SERIES of games on Lost, maybe we should make me a title to reference Lost! /sarcasm

You, Vi, have a title because your mafia play is well-known.
Shea has a title because he's known for being a grump.
I have a title due to drunken posting antics.
Flay has a title for being so heavily involved in coding/site management stuff.
All of these things are what people are generally well-known for...it's what gives their title character. Nobody, except for the handful of people who have actually PLAYED in DKU's superhero games (and I'm one of them, for the record) would know/get/appreciate his title.

Kise has an entire series of games based on Square-Enix, where's his title?
Dramonic has an entire group of games based off of obscure/not amazingly popular JRPGs, where's his title?
I could pull out a thousand more examples, but you get it.

[gandalf5166]

There are plenty of people with titles that nobody knows the story behind.

[Plum]

This. I challenge Reck to identify the source of this title.

It is so boring to hear this 'titles all have a deep meaning' argument again and again. No they don't in many, many cases. Titles either work for a user's persona or they don't, and that's what judgement of their quality should be based upon. This BS about holding up the integrity of titles is such tired rhetoric.

[Herodotus]

[cough]Tarhalindur[/cough]

If Oman wasn't sick of all the joke noms in Thread 13686, I'd nominate xReckonerx for
Lost, or
Lost, the Game
In fact, xReckonerx's title is no longer accurate now that Thread 13720 is no longer in Forum 6. It should be edited to reflect that.

If they're decent games and you have no other particularly relevant defining characteristics, why not?

We can go the other way with that though.

What off earth does "Lyrical Rampage" mean?

(and why doesn't that title have something to do with Mith's Minions?)

I'm not Patrick's Rantbuddy (although he has had the misfortune of reviewing my setups, so I can give him some slack)
IH is "Always Scum"? Really?
When's the last time Yos2 (shrug)ged that anyone has seen?
I wasn't in PBuG's "I Win" game, should I care?
Ditto Oman's "NK Immune Miller Vig".
Ditto EmpTyger's "It's a JOKE!".
Ditto Talitha's "Dr. Death".
Ditto Thesp's "Supersaint".
Norinel got a somewhat odd title for laughable vote count skills ("Not Voting (3)"), but why should bad modding be commended?
Was "9 Years Old"

really

the best we could do for ShadowLurker?
"Yawesome". Enough said.
Is getting 62545 (or however many it was) PMs via a board glitch worth a title? It happened to me, so it's nothing special; that title should be stricken immediately.
All of these "I want a title" titles ("Unique", "Famewhore", "More /in than you!", "Entitled", etc.) can amscray as well...

You get the idea. I'm not in favor of taking any of these titles away; in fact, I would actually prefer if we WERE less strict about who gets titles. It seems like at this stage, you either need to win two Scummies at once, have a visible GD presence (Mafia what?), have a grating playstyle, or have ~*~connections~*~ in the social community to get a title. Before, granted the community was smaller so more people saw these things, but handing titles out was much more casual.

As for Kise and dramonic, why aren't people suggesting them?

Although I suspect that dram's title would relate to you in some way rather than his games.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Of course you don't get those title - they predate you. Most of the ones you list have meaning to me (and "More /in than you!" was extremely appropriate by the bye). That said, I don't agree with xRECK although I find "Wants a Cape" lacking. If someone comes up with a good superhero-based title for dana, I'd be all for it.

P.S. Jathan being 9 years old comes up surprisingly often.

[Vi]

Of course you don't get those title - they predate you. Most of the ones you list have meaning to me (and "More /in than you!" was extremely appropriate by the bye).

Which just illustrates my point. On the other hand of the same argument, others that aren't "special memories" like Zindy's would

never

get by today.
(Also, I do give myself credit for knowing where EmpTy's came from... and using it as a point of reference in another game.)
