Title Fairy: Abuse of Mooglepower!

[shaft.ed]

I would posit that using the word Genital in a title is a bad idea unless it is an obvious pun for a person know for groping themselves/others

[shaft.ed]

yeah i know, that's why I said obvious pun. If I were to read that title I'd think you're making fur of a hermaphrodite

[shaft.ed]

Is this something he's done in more than a single game?

I'm really getting tired of this question. Single game based title are clearly not off the norm. Look at the Title Fairy for chirstsakes

[shaft.ed]

Is this something he's done in more than a single game?

I'm really getting tired of this question. Single game based title are clearly not off the norm. Look at the Title Fairy for chirstsakes

If a player does something once, gets a title, and never does it again, does that make sense? If we're just going to grant titles based on the norm then is discussion even necessary?

The point of such titles is to commemorate some sort of interesting thing that happened in a game. Like Oman's title for example. Pretty sure he hasn't claimed NK Immune Miller Vig again.

The points of discussion in these cases IMHO should be
1) was the event remarkable
2) is the title "witty"
3) could it be done better

-1) Getting 4 straight hammers, three of which were scum seems remarkable enough. Lord Gurgi got a title for four failed NKs as a SK before. Similar concept, though a little weaker. So I would tentatively check this box.
-2) The guys username is Sharkfinn for cryin out loud. It's perfect for the title Hammerhead. So yes, this is "witty" and to me more than compensates for the slightly weak 1)
-3) I don't think you can do it any better. So it's either this, or dump the concept.

I can see an argument against this being remarkable. But I don't see why they need to hammer everyone at every turn in order for it to be an applicable title.

And why do I feel like a lawyer before the Supreme Court needing to look up case history for a title thread?
This should be fun.

[shaft.ed]

+1 shaft.ed.

Barring a reputation for notoriety, didn't just about everyone from the early days of MS get a title after enough time on the forums? Seems like it was almost an effortless thing then. What changed?

This is an old forum legend and has always been wrong. More 'old' scummers have titles because they've been around longer, but there's still only

a couple hundred

239 with titles, total. Of those, 24 joined in 2002, 33 in 2003, 28 in 2004, 40 in 2005, 22 in 2006, 50 in 2007, 29 in 2009, 11 in 2009, and 2 in 2010.

You forgot to mention only 25 people joined in 2002.
I'm on to you old man.

@Vi, to me that's not special enough for dram

[shaft.ed]

@Vi, to me that's not special enough for dram

Special as in good or special like "special olympics"

little bit of both, no just kidding. The title is too boring

I'm the newest user on the first page of users sorted by most posts other than DMSIS. This makes me proud.

Yeah, it really shouldn't

[shaft.ed]

you realize, if you get that title, it'll just happen more
Id consider that

[shaft.ed]

Hornythologist?
Now it's a pun. You love puns right?

[shaft.ed]

I don't really play mafia, but the two things that really stick out about Dram are 7.5 inches and stalking his boyfriend into turning gay
Don't see that relating to hornithologist

Maybe a play on cult recruiting could work?

[shaft.ed]

so he's bigger than 7.5 and he's not your boyfriend?

Is he a Doors fan?

[shaft.ed]

please stop

[shaft.ed]

Hey guys remember the whole stop suggesting shit titles conversation?

Are we going for a record number of title fairy thread shutdowns, 'cause I'm down for that and will gladly pitch in if that's the goal.

[shaft.ed]

thick Irish accent needs to be accounted for

[shaft.ed]

So the North American stereotypes of the Irish have come out in full force. When I made that suggestion I wasn't talking about dropping Lucky Charms, green beer, shamrock or druidic references. I was thinking more along the lines of the fact that Faraday cannot pronounce TH sounds. So think of something mildly amusing with lots of TH's in it, change them to t or d or whatever noise Irish people make when they shouldn't. Funny is elevated.

Location: southeast US

Already on his user panel. No point in redundancy.

a) Ohhhhh wait yeah cause you're the new Title Fairy I guess... :rollseyesagain:

The whole point of this thread is for people to come make suggestions and discuss merits of titles. Voicing an opinion doesn't make one the title fairy.

[shaft.ed]

Mysthery Man?

[shaft.ed]

i never knew i had this much influence over ani. Go figure

[shaft.ed]

suggestions are horrible, move along

[shaft.ed]

Nominate chesskid3

for

Princeton

Because I have no idea if it's true or not. But I find it absolutely hilarious and I want it to be true. I want him to have the title to remind everyone that a Princeton student wrote whatever dumb/stupid/trollish post was just made.

Although making fun of Princeton in this manner is funny I don't approve of rewarding Chesskid's bad play.

-1

[shaft.ed]

Oh Prozac

[shaft.ed]

I think the problem is you guys jumped the gun. You need to do some preemptive meme generation sitewide prior to titular copulation

[shaft.ed]

that didn't happen for cayke shaft.ed

you're going to need to cite sources for this. Titles are serious business

[shaft.ed]

http://67.222.17.61/forum/viewtopic.php ... 57#1485457

it's funny cause with the Cayke nomination Poro was all "I don't get it" but none of the rabble backed him up. This time he doesn't get it, but there are torches and pitchforks to carry!

[shaft.ed]

War huh God good y'all what is it good for? absolutely nothin

say it again

[shaft.ed]

I have stalked UT in real life, and he is neither fat nor sassy.

Nominate RC for

CreeperCharlie

you can have TLC as your theme song. Noone else seems to want that one

[shaft.ed]

I think the only way to solve the current problem is that anyone with a title must have a schtick to explain said title to anyone who may read their post and not realize why the title is there. If the title bearer fails to uphold their schtick, then they lose the title

It's the only way people

[shaft.ed]

see guys, noone will ever ask "what is ani's title all about?"

keep up the good work kid

[shaft.ed]

It's a little unnerving when he sends you links to pictures of yourself...

I know it's a common mistake, but cases of actual stalking shouldn't be reported in the mafiascum.net Title Fairy Thread. To report stalking situations, contact your friendly neighborhood police force.

[shaft.ed]

I really don't care wether UT gets a title or not, but I'd appreciate knowing what it's supposed to mean.
hint: It's something about LoL is not a valid answer. Be descriptive.

JDodge has already covered this

2nd NS's nom

I was actually just kidding with the RC suggestion, but once all these other people started coming forward about being stalked. It's pretty remarkable

[shaft.ed]

yeah, this bullshit is way better than fat and sassy

Nominate UT for Nell Carter

[shaft.ed]

Flaming Viking still belongs in Guys Part 2

[shaft.ed]

i have an idea

lets lock this thread

It's fine as is. I'm not really going to say anymore because there isn't anymore to be said, really.

Nominate DH for And Another Thing

I swear every other day I read a friggin post about how "I'm not gonna talk about this anymore"

also
<---look a not mafia title

[shaft.ed]

TSQ nominated me for it when I was a the peak of my political ranting in the GD. He thought it was cute to use the . from my username to separate the word demagogue so that dem would be highlighted. To be honest, I never really loved it, but there was a big push for me to have abridge.ed as a title at the time due to an old meme I was also pushing back then. I really didn't want that title

[shaft.ed]

DemonHybrid: RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!
TheButtonMen: RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!
DemonHybrid: RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!
TheButtonMen: RABBLE RABBLE-
shaft.ed: Wait, DemonHybrid needs a title!
TheButtonMen: oh ok
DemonHybrid: yeah sure

shhhhh I'm trying to make the rabble stop with shinies. Don't remind them

[shaft.ed]

Scumchat is an inherent part of the site, and I've always argued for that.

No, not really.

Biggest argument against that is the fact that Scumchat isn't bound by site rules.

It's got a big giant icon linking to it stickied at the top of the GD

[shaft.ed]

or

...and another thing!

I'll leave it to the powers that be to switch the title back and forth at their whim, but I will say the exclamation point is more appropriate

[shaft.ed]

If I change my sig I'll have to give up the title.

also cocks

[shaft.ed]

But it's the only one he's not desperate for.

^not very astoot^

[shaft.ed]

because you shit all over it.

astoot works on so many levels

[shaft.ed]

you really like that word, dont you?

i think it sums up RC in two syllables

[shaft.ed]

a) my propensity to run bastard games
b) my propensity to not warn people that said games have bastardly elements
...
d) the way in which I respond to criticism of bastardliness, i.e. denying it exists

you just admitted that you are running bastard games without telling the players, so you aren't really denying that it exists

[shaft.ed]

whats up with people suggesting inferior titles than the current ones?

[shaft.ed]

i like what oman is doing in this thread

+1

he's handing out Green Cards?

[shaft.ed]

mastin, great post. if you keep all the irrelevant text tiny like that so we don't have to read it, it's so much easier on us

[shaft.ed]

so

AlabaskaJr

never went though for anyone?

so many contenders, but none quite up to snuff

[shaft.ed]

nth It's Midnight Somewhere

As long as TPTB + NS are okay with such a...delicate issue being used for a title.

No less delicate than yours, from a community standpoint. Though it's down to NS.

I have no problem with this title.

I'd prefer something like

Game starts after 5-6 confirmations

but that might be too adult

[shaft.ed]

MythIC Papa Smurf Beard of Norsome

[shaft.ed]

Is

Sarah Palin

a good title for RC?

no, Sarah Palin is very good at quitting
RC not so much

[shaft.ed]

Nominate Quagmire for Ban Acceptable

Simply because it's pretty widely acknowledged at this point that Quag has caught temp bans for next to nothing while their are certain members that get away with just about anything.

I prefer

cocks

[shaft.ed]

guys

cocks

is much better, because we hide Quag in the back room like he's behind a spoiler tag. He's not allowed out in public. It also takes away the objection of someone just waving their cock all over the place

[shaft.ed]

97.5
95.7
79.5
75.9
59.7
57.9

Which of these is most accurate?

cool its like a Price is Right game

[shaft.ed]

can we do different fonts? Cause Korts' would look good in the type writer font that I dont remember the name of

Also nth the misused caps. This happens all the time with titles actually

[shaft.ed]

Hey I found a video of RC and tajo fighting as interpretive dance

[shaft.ed]

What about

Paragon of

(insert sexual innuendo)

Hunters

[shaft.ed]

Paragon of Paragons

[shaft.ed]

meatbag...

I dunno how it fits IS or whatever, but this is a fantastic title.

you forgot the

wink wink nudge nudge

part

[shaft.ed]

*

rimjob

*

[shaft.ed]

shaft.ed

...if you know what I mean

so I get to go from stalwart supporter of the liberal worldview to guy that picks off low hanging fruit to make one-liners about peoples naughty bits

tough call

[shaft.ed]

low hanging fruit

Not helping yourself here.

tee hee page 69

[shaft.ed]

my names not Ed damnit

[shaft.ed]

Would also approve of

Glad Hatter

.


Either is great.

+1

This.

Actually,

Glad Hatter

is slightly better.
I am concerned that once the relevant game ends, the party (and source of this title) will end too though. :\

Oman's not a NK immune miller vig anymore either

[shaft.ed]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2grpKYadCs

[shaft.ed]

this thread is mind numbing

nominate Quage for

cocks

[shaft.ed]

I'm not trying to be a mean old bastard, but people don't seem to realize this doesnt have to be, and actually shouldnt be a very active thread. Going a couple days with zero posts here is a good thing and should be a rather common occurance

[shaft.ed]

I meant 2 or 3 months to suggest a title.

OK folks we can stop talking about something that isn't happening now
move along

[shaft.ed]

OK Oman, time for a thread vacation

[shaft.ed]

I still like Paragon of Paragons
parody seems a tad insulting to me for whatever reason

[shaft.ed]

Oman isnt a NK immune miller vig anymore either

[shaft.ed]

It has been decided that if MS turns me gay my title will be changed to Welcome to the Gaystack.

forget your title that should be the new site subheading

mafiascum.net
welcome to the gaystack

a mob has formed

...

[shaft.ed]

a gaystack has formed...

thats the unofficial subtitle for The Reckoning

[shaft.ed]

please leave

[shaft.ed]

only: cocks

[shaft.ed]

Titles are quickly moving away from mafia-related things like they always have been

looks at his title
scratches head

[shaft.ed]

YES YES THERE IT IS

(its longer than I thought it would be but I'll get used to it >_>)

thats what she said

[shaft.ed]

What happened to Parody of Mafia Hunters/Paragon of Paragons?

Both are good in different ways.

i say we let IS decide

[shaft.ed]

Nominate Quorath for the title of

Pizza Guy

due to Scumstorm shennanigans.

should it also contain a hyperlink to porn music?

Pizza Guy

[shaft.ed]

theyre trying to decide if they want to get into Vi's pants for not. Notice the bisexuals are never involved in these conversations

[shaft.ed]

The Librarian reminds me of those horrible horrible made for TV movies

[shaft.ed]

you forgot Cyberbob

[shaft.ed]

I pronounce it Throatwobblermangrove

[shaft.ed]

you say six?

[shaft.ed]

I really think this would be a sad thing to enshrine as Kinetic's title. The guys doing much more useful things for the site than fighting off indignant children in the Large Theme Queue

Just because it's really funny toilet humor doesn't make it a fitting title

[shaft.ed]

youre not allowed to talk to him

Federal Communications Commission

[shaft.ed]

Nominate Kinetic for

Give This Man a Job

that should help with the employer screening

[shaft.ed]

Ugh. Prude Litigator is terrible.

as terrible as

Cockblockerblocker

?

[shaft.ed]

and it's fitting because everyone has lost abandoned all hope that he'll accept Cockblocker

[shaft.ed]

cockblocker is still better...

you must abandon all hope

[shaft.ed]

you know, i was worried that the general standard for title suggestions might have dropped so much during Alabaska's time away that his contributions to this thread would now seem completely unremarkable

i'm glad to see that there are still new lows for him to reach

Yeah at first I just kinda skipped over it as I have gotten used to due to the craptastic titular ability in here recently. But that was definitely the work of a pro

[shaft.ed]

I think ani just trolled someone
they grow up so fast

[shaft.ed]

back when the Title Fairy thread wasn't filled with people constantly spamming horrible attempts at title, Alabaska J was actually unique with his ineptitude at title suggestions

he was just so far ahead of his time

[shaft.ed]

Nominate Parama for Explicitly Approved

[shaft.ed]

Nominate Parama for Explicitly Approved

wait wouldnt

Implicitly Approved

make more sense?

I dont even get my own attempts at humor anymore

[shaft.ed]

cause he has an avatar obv

[shaft.ed]

Nominate Matias for

My Previous Username was Stupid, but this One's Cool...Right?

[shaft.ed]

i guess he's been doing kegals

[shaft.ed]

you failed your IYKWIM tag there.

you don't need it for a literal joke the punchline would have been necessary for a reply like:

I guess he finally got his man,

if you know what I'm talkin about

[shaft.ed]

Dropping titles just because they are old is lame.

[shaft.ed]

what he said^

You know, like the Palin/Bachmann teabagger "feminist" archetype.

Chevre isnt a grifter, so I don't really associate them

OGML is the one true Don Quixote, period.
