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.Ythan wrote:
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?shaft.ed wrote:
I'm really getting tired of this question. Single game based title are clearly not off the norm. Look at the Title Fairy for chirstsakesYthan wrote:Is this something he's done in more than a single game?
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

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?a couple hundred239 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.

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.

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

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
