Title Fairy: Abuse of Mooglepower!

[ReaperCharlie]

I concur.

Also, obligatory nomination: Nominate

Oman

for

Ogod

[ReaperCharlie]

Nominate

SharkFinn

for

Hammerhead

for (intentionally) placing four straight hammers in Outdoorsmen Mafia, the first 3 being on scum. [note: credit to Mastin for coming up with the pun in the dead QT]

Every time I see his avatar or name I always think of sharks anyway... so why not go for the hat trick with his title too?

[ReaperCharlie]

Nobody expects Vi to win both Professor Mafia and Paragon of Mafia Hunters in the same year again. Just sayin'

[ReaperCharlie]

Hooray for research and actual numbers!





So.. who was Title Fairy in 2005 so we can crucify them for not being strict enough?

[ReaperCharlie]

+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

HAHA

[ReaperCharlie]

Iece, Iece Baby

Haha. This is great!

[ReaperCharlie]

Also,

Nominate MagnaofIllusion

for

or some derivation thereof.

I can see it now:

[ReaperCharlie]

Still, that's a shockingly high percentage.

Hope you like it buddy

[ReaperCharlie]

Also, what happened to

Rainbow Robot Cthulhu

for Percy?

Did he ever get that?

[ReaperCharlie]

Ok, go.

[ReaperCharlie]

You disappoint me, Ythan.

[ReaperCharlie]

I think we're over thinking it.

If it gets a chuckle and is relevant to him (not necessarily JUST to him, but) and he likes it...

Well, isn't that the point?

This man speaks the truth.

Oman - Rainbow Robot Cthulhu.

As does this intentionally androgynous entity.

[ReaperCharlie]

Oman - Rainbow Robot Cthulhu.

I think this died a good death the first time. Were there enough people that really want to get back into this?

Um, maybe you were reading a different thread than I was.

Hm. I like

Starspawn

... and/or something fh'tagn-y.

Not a Lovecraft reader myself, but it'd fit him to a T.

I could also go for...

Rainbow Robot Cthulhu

!!! <3

Rainbow Robot Cthulhu

On the one hand, this is a terrible idea.

On the other hand, I

really

want to second it.

EDIT: In fact, I will.

Second that Eldritch Horror of a title

2nd HASTUR HASTUR HASTUR

and

Rainbow Robot Cthulu

Nth Rainbow Robot Cthulhu

Nth Rainbow Robot Cthulhu

Nth-ing

as well. Now that was one memorable game. 8D.

Vi still scares the crap out of me.

Rainbow Robot Cthulhu

is a fantastic title. I approve!

I will also now write a game based on blending these two flavours together, for when SAIII finished

Lol then I think that settles that.

Where's the rub?

[ReaperCharlie]

I love how Ythan's and animorpher's titles are 95.7% interchangeable.

[ReaperCharlie]

Case in point.

If anyone with half a brain compared our ISOs, they'd find that I've suggested/supported three titles thus far in this new title thread, and you've done nothing but post for the sake of posting. Which is pretty much normal for you, so no worries there.

And I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not going to get into a pointless forum argument with you about who should or shouldn't quit posting. Simply because: It's not "1337" to argue on the internets; therefore it is beneath me.

So... you may now post your obligatory response post (because, as has been shown countless times before, you always like to have the last word), and then after that you'll think you've "won" the argument simply because I don't reply back. Ready? Go.

[ReaperCharlie]

That damn good also doubles as a wresting reference.

Who does it refer to? I'm not a huge wrestling fan, sorry.

[ReaperCharlie]

*sigh* I hope Mr. Flay talked to you about this.

If you want to be useful and go find it, great. If not, it's better not to say anything.

Please don't be weird, Ythan.

[ReaperCharlie]

Thanks xRx.


Also, Oman, can you fix Kast's title from '

tl, dr;

' to '

tl; dr

' like it should be? I think it was just a matter of tl;dr-illiteracy on the previous title fairy's part that caused the screwup.

[ReaperCharlie]

Nominate unicorn brethren for

Disaster on Wheels

.

An inthread joke, yes, but 100% supported by at least 10% of the hydra

Let me finish at least before doing this.

For the record, none of the ACTUAL Unicorn Brethren are in that hydra.

I'm not sure

who

is in it, actually. But it's not us. Pretty funny, though.

I second the nom.

*shrug*

Hey, the title fits. Look at the game.

[ReaperCharlie]

OH SHI-

Sherlock Holmes on the case! You caught me fair and square.

[ReaperCharlie]

a) didn't nominate that title
b) it's a hydra, it's not for me
c) an obv joke != lying. lulz

bonus) what are you now, captain hook?

[ReaperCharlie]

Oh well. I guess it went over your heads.

It's been known to happen.

[ReaperCharlie]

Mrs. Zaeed Massani

to reference, again, the gender switching, and his ridiculous love for Zaeed ever since the Mass Effect hurt/heal started.

...I'm sorry, RC. You know I <3 you. <_<

LOL

Zaeed died. -__-

FFFFUUUUU

[ReaperCharlie]

a) Ohhhhh wait yeah cause you're the new Title Fairy I guess... :rollseyesagain:
b) When was the last time you saw me begging for a title for myself? Lulz
c) Since when did your opinion count for anything, here or anywhere?
d) You still didn't answer my other question: since when are you Captain Hook?
e) I know, I know: http://mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=16779 ...

[ReaperCharlie]

Answer my Captain Hook question, blaggard!

Identity Crisis

has merit.

First, probably find out if Faraday likes the idea of being given a title for that though.

[ReaperCharlie]

I don't like PsychoCeltic or SchizoCeltic.

They lack.

[ReaperCharlie]

I favor something along the lines of

Mistaken on this Account

Although I do think Identity Crisis is the best of the rest.

This is the best. By far.

[ReaperCharlie]

yes

[ReaperCharlie]

Attention: DemonHybrid is a cultured and informed gentleman, and has very good taste.

(Unfortunately, he now has to disagree with that statement by default. Bloody shame.)

No.

To both paragraphs.

[ReaperCharlie]

...should I be here?

is ok.

Mistaken on this account

is far better.

[ReaperCharlie]

If I get any say I prefer '...should I be here?'.

Needs to be posted from Stark

And from A Gaggle of Geese too.

Otherwise, how will we know you're the REAL Faraday?

[ReaperCharlie]

I'm kinda ambivalent. If he likes it... it's kind of funny. No idea about context though, as I don't play LoL. Wanna provide some?

[ReaperCharlie]

Or:

Disgrace to Vampires Everywhere

- parodying Thok's Disgrace to SK's everywhere

Jacob... No wait, Edward... No, wait...

- the entire movie script

(blank look)

- parodying Yos2's (shrug) <-- I like this one the best of the three.

...but there could be countless others more suitable. We are only scratching the surface.

Sparkles!

has merit, haha ;P



But really though, I don't think Dizzy's alt should get a title if Dizzy doesn't have one.
I'd rather give one to Dizzy if she doesn't have one yet.

[ReaperCharlie]

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

This.

Also, Princeton was apparently one of the instrumental factors in popularizing Meatworld Mafia back in the late 90's.

I wouldn't want to mock that.

[ReaperCharlie]

if chesskid gets a title I might as well leave this site forever because THAT'S PATHETIC.

WE DON'T GIVE NOTORIOUS VIs TITLES THAT REWARD BAD PLAY. THAT JUST MAKES THEM EVEN WORSE.

ugh.
Can we add a "no hissy fit ultimatums in the Title Fairy thread" rule to the opening post?

Chesskid3 can be very readable if you get past your handicap of "everyone must play like me".

This is what I have been saying about Furc for ages.

He's an excellent scumhunter with some kind of learning disability/doesn't care because hey, it's the internet.

I can totally dig that. And that's why I normally sheep his scumreads when I get towntells off him. ^_^

I must play a game with chesskid soon. Sup, chesskid.

[ReaperCharlie]

Chesskid doesn't get a title for being one of the five worst posters on the site.

He's funnier than you, lol.

[ReaperCharlie]

Not according to

Poppa Taj and the 62 Crew!

... But I digress.

@ Oman: We in the Unicorn Brethren aren't actively pursuant to having a title for our account. It's semi-unlikely we'll use it after this Mafia with Hydras game is over, mainly because most of the Unicorns flaked out (*sadface*).

Disaster on Wheels

is pretty funny though, and would certainly fit, given the flakeage... and other things... *COUGH

ongoing

COUGH*. Hence my support for the title. As far as DemonHybrid not getting the joke when I said "No that's not us, don't know who it is", I really don't know what to say. It was a pretty obvious joke, as anyone with five seconds and an inquiring mind wanted to make a few clicks and find out. And if making a joke and then ridiculing a guy who doesn't get it is now grounds for being called a douche, then I guess I'm not only one huge douche, but there a lot more people guilty of being douches as well. It's not my fault he didn't get it and then threw a hissy fit about it, then went all Sherlock Holmes/Liar Police on me, cause he thought I was lying through my teeth to try to get a title for a hydra I'm in. Heck, I didn't even suggest the title, GreyICE did. It's funny. It really is. I mean, look: Unicorn Brethren - Disaster on Wheels. Makes me laugh out loud when I read it like that. But if it's a big deal, drop it. We don't really need a custom title to feel special. We know we're plenty special anyway.

As for

Mistaken on this Account

for Faraday, it's half of the sentence people say when they're saying "I could be wrong, but..." when they say "I may be mistaken on this account, but..." etc. Or as someone else said earlier, "mistaken on all accounts" could be the more popular phrase. I actually think

Mistaken on All Accounts

may be even better than just Mistaken on This Account, because it sounds less like half a sentence chopped off. And personally, I think it's more catchy and (most importantly) RELEVANT than "should I be here?". But that is just my two cents.

Also, Parama is badposting. Chesskid for a title is an alright idea, I'm not particularly fond of

Princeton's Pride

, but a) it's not up to me, b) who cares what I think anyway?, c) I guess nobody from Princeton would really be offended anyway, because d) it's the internet.

Also

also, I just got back from Scream 4 a while ago; it's pretty awesome if you like the first three. Laughs and scares galore. Plus, a good many twists, and David Arquette, Courteney Cox Arquette, and Courtney Neves are all back supporting the franchise with the original writer (Kevin Williamson) and director (Wes Craven). So you know it's good! <3

[ReaperCharlie]

Also, @ DH/Oman/whoever cares: I NEVER lie about which accounts are me or not. EVER.

[ReaperCharlie]

Nominate Parama for

Come With Me If You Want To Live!!!

Hahaha. That's soooo bad, but yet soooo good! If it wasn't table-breakingly long, I'd 2nd it! .... jk. But it's funny.

I still prefer

...should I be here?

fwiw. Although

Mistaken on All Accounts

is actually good (as I've a tendency to fuck up with all accounts)

come on baby, don't be so cold

[ReaperCharlie]

Yeah, just because we call Stefunny all kinds of inappropriate Unicorn-related names in Halo Reach doesn't mean they apply here.

[ReaperCharlie]

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

[ReaperCharlie]

I would much prefer something Unicorn-related, actually.

Plenty of fodder on the UB wiki page. Link's in my sig.

Take off the "who rapes unicorns" and we'll talk. haha

It's broken but, here's another:

Radio Head just popped into my head. If that was on purpose, then I applaud you.

Awww... you guys love me, I can feel it so strongly! <3

[ReaperCharlie]

Oman, you

know

I would totally be down for a :rainbowneigh: title if you would approve it. lmao

[ReaperCharlie]

Totally agree. UT post a pic of yourself here, we'll be your own personal HotOrNot.

If you're Fat enough and/or Sassy enough, you will get nths on your nom.

However, as you already know, I cannot nth as I know the title to be patently false.

[ReaperCharlie]

Seriously though. I am wondering the same thing, especially about titles like:

Sotty7: That damn good
Percy: Rainbow Robot Cthulhu
MagnaofIllusion: was killed Night 1
ZachRulez: Flaming Viking

[ReaperCharlie]

I just named four off the top of my head in 520, and there are quite a few more.


shaft.ed, don't tell me you've never been intimate with a horn-helmeted ruffian.

[ReaperCharlie]

I'm not sure what's worse: Title suggestions involving RC creeping and unicorns, or the fact that he really digs all the attention.

DON'T hate on Unicorns, Mr.

We will go apesh!t in your Bakery and stab your customers.

[ReaperCharlie]

Seriously though. I am wondering the same thing, especially about titles like:

Sotty7: That damn good
Percy: Rainbow Robot Cthulhu
MagnaofIllusion: was killed Night 1
ZachRulez: Flaming Viking

They have been suppressed by Abuse of Mooglepower.

BLAGGARDS!

...you should get a tattoo, in protest!

Spoiler: kinda big, but awesome

[ReaperCharlie]

Yeah. Seriously. ^

If I were ever to be the Title Fairy (not saying I will ever be), my "guidelines" or "policy" or w/e would be the following:

RC's Imaginary Title Fairy Policy:

#0. Have you proposed more than X number of titles that people boo and hiss at? If no, proceed to #1.
#1. Is the proposed title arguably funny, given the context surrounding it? If yes, proceed to #2.
#2. Do enough people understand it to make it worth it to title the individual? If yes, proceed to #3.
#3. Does the proposed title recipient actually LIKE the proposed title in question? If yes, proceed to #4.
#4. Has the proposed title recipient already been titled (or alternately, within the past year?). If no, proceed to #5.
#5. Award title.

Profit.

And it would Work. Just. Fine.

Enough of this "Well you guys, I thought about each title for a week straight, and I even stayed up all night a few nights thinking about them, they're pretty good but... I'm not sure it'd live up to the hallowed standards that have been set in place by the brothers Morgan and Bartholomew, from ages past when more people thought only funny things were funny, and less people thought unfunny things were funny, not to mention, the site only had 5 unique users, and back then everything was an inside joke that pretty much everyone got, oh and btw I'm PMSing at the moment, so I'm gonna be a little bit more pissy and pouty than normal, and besides, there are people posting things other than title related discussion -- never mind that they're only doing that because there's a severe lack of mod interaction here, let alone titles being awarded -- I'm mad

anyway

. So, dammit! Stop, you guys. I'm serious this time." run-around, it's getting old already.

It's bullsh1t.

Sincerely,
-ReaperCharlie

[ReaperCharlie]

Haha, I'll

3rd

it for great justice. Nice one, shaft.ed.

It's better than

illicit intercourse with horny horses

at any rate, that's for sure.

Now accept it, you fiend.

[ReaperCharlie]

Seriously though. I am wondering the same thing, especially about titles like:

I've already told people that these are coming and to shut the fuck up about them. You don't need to make yourself any more annoying than you already are.

lol, u mad because my imaginary title fairy policy is better than yours will ever be?

if they're coming so fast and we need to shut up about them so much, then where are they? you never explicitly approved them, so we began to wonder. why are you telling us to shut up about them? NEWS FLASH: YOU'RE THE TITLE FAIRY. AND THIS IS THE TITLE FAIRY THREAD.

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

its not mafia related.

-1.

Nominate populartajo for "mafpaca godfatherliente" so that he'll be a little more mafia-related.

[ReaperCharlie]

Sorry, that part to Oman came across as a bit sardonic.

Pretend I said it with a smile.

[ReaperCharlie]

99.9% of the other titles (not counting scumchat), you only need an understanding of MS references. Oman's arguing that if it originated on the site, it's okay. If it's an in-joke between a group of people on another video game, website or media source, it's not.

Perhaps you missed

this post

. <-- not even by me. you're being "told" by others now, too.

fat and sassy its a stupid title anyways

Yes, but if he likes it, who gives a @#&$.

It's only a subtle difference in ruling, but there are and will be way better titles for UT.

Mmk. Like?

Alright, lets take a vote, even.

No.

I agree with Ythan.

[ReaperCharlie]

Nah, not cause of that. It's just... if it's got enough community support, and he likes it, then why should a couple of wet blankets matter?

[ReaperCharlie]

I like how happy and content and agreeable DH is when he's getting a title.

[ReaperCharlie]

...hens? is funnier than Fat and Sassy, for sure.

[ReaperCharlie]

No, they're for two different people.

[ReaperCharlie]

I think if anything getting a title that's related to his sig would make him less likely to change it.

[ReaperCharlie]

Clearly the solution is to poke fun of this whole situation and to give Untrod Tripod the title

Not fat and sassy enough

.

2nd

[ReaperCharlie]

HA! i like that Mute. bravo

ref, plus it fits w/my games

i'd take it

[ReaperCharlie]

I'm not desperate for any of them.

Ah yes, "Bastard"...

is by far the best though.

[ReaperCharlie]

He's power walking.

This.

[ReaperCharlie]

I think

Mistaken on this Account

and/or

...should I be here?

were the ones that Faraday liked.

[ReaperCharlie]

Also, bastard ≈ douchebag? It's really perfect.

[ReaperCharlie]

[ReaperCharlie]

RC should never be named a "good mod". He's disrespectful, accusing, stubborn and coaching. And I wasn't involved with that game, not even a bit. I'm all for calling RC a weird person instead of a bad guy, but his modding should never

ever

be praised.

There is a very, very fine line between sheen and good. No amount of photoshopping in the world can erase all of the bad things that happened that game.

Sticks and stones, etc.

[ReaperCharlie]

If you say so.

[ReaperCharlie]

How about you let Oman decide that. The title

Ah yes, "Bastard"…

is friggin' fantastic, not just because it talks about my modding, but because it ties in with the word "Reaper", the game Mass Effect (which I enjoy), AND the attitude with which I confront criticism.

@ Oman:

I officially approve (finally. after what, like 15 suggestions). If there's ever gonna be one I like, this is it.
If DH doesn't want it, idgaf. If Ythan doesn't like it, that's fine w/me too.

But I like it and it's descriptive of me and it fits my personality onsite. Which is what I thought was what this was all about.

[ReaperCharlie]

AND the attitude with which I confront criticism.

Ignoring it? Not letting it influence your continued terrible decision making?

Have you played Mass Effect? Exactly

WHY

the title is perfect appears to be going right over your head.

[ReaperCharlie]

I know your taste is impeccable and all but the possibility that someone might simply disagree with your opinions seems to completely escape you.

Which is exactly why the point is sailing far over your head. Because you don't understand the context. At all.

[ReaperCharlie]

No, Andrius. It is not a title that says "Hi, I ruin everything I touch." It's a title that remarks on a number of different and diverse things, namely:

a) my propensity to run bastard games
b) my propensity to not warn people that said games have bastardly elements
c) a word play where the word "Reaper" is substituted for something that I do, and am
d) the way in which I respond to criticism of bastardliness, i.e. denying it exists
e) a modified quote from a game I play and love, Mass Effect

Which is why it's so perfect.

That said, I also like "Bastard" which Flay said last page... but "Ah yes, Bastard..." ties in to who I am in more ways.

@ Oman: Why am I proud of being so... yeah? The answer is, obviously, because I don't think I am so ... yeah. Or something. Which is exactly why the title fits. Now of course, I don't expect to ever get a title, because I don't see you giving widely-agreed-upon titles to anyone else (see: Sotty7, MagnaofIllusion, Percy, ZachRulez, etc), which kind of defeats the purpose of having this thread in the first place... so why should I get one?

All I'm saying is, if you ever get around to it/even want to give me one, that'd be the one I'd want:

Ah yes, "Bastard"...

Anyway, I'm done discussing it. If things ever happen and I get it, great.

And if Oman never gets around to it, well, hey, I'm not the first.

[ReaperCharlie]

Really? Where's my blacklist?

Oh wait.

You really should stop talking about things about which you have no idea.

[ReaperCharlie]

I'm assuming

based on what I've heard). Just because you don't have a blacklist on your wiki doesn't mean there aren't people that you won't let play because they "aren't on your good side".

Bolded is your problem. Mostly because I've never blocked any of the 4 of you from joining a game I was in. In fact, in some cases, I've gone against my better judgement and allowed people to play, regardless of my history with them.

To say otherwise is patently ridiculous.

Nominate LlamaFluff for Kovu

[ReaperCharlie]

Night-Killed Bambi's Mom

for LlamaFluff?

Link?

[ReaperCharlie]

LlamaFluff: What moments of your mafia career define you? Links, please.

[ReaperCharlie]

If I had ever known Alabaska J or knew anything about the context, there would have been a very off-chance that I might have possibly been vaguely interested. As it is... not so much. I prefer Ah yes, "Bastard" if it hasn't been made perfectly clear (which it has).

[ReaperCharlie]

Dont know if I did this before but

nominate Furcolow for To Be Frank...

which not only shows his blunt tone but also incorporates his nickname.

He

is

quite blunt.

I kinda still like

Squirrel Rave

, though.

(even though that's no longer his av)

[ReaperCharlie]

Or maybe the "Pictureless" Baker.

[ReaperCharlie]

Furc plays pretty well actually. you not liking it =/= bad.

Yeah, I agree. Furc is not a VI by any stretch. Hating his playstyle is much akin to hating Fate's playstyle. Basically, it's a

playstyle

people hate, not an intelligence level. I feel like going all Chris Crocker and going LEAVE FURCOLOW ALONEEEE. But Frank doesn't need it. lol

[ReaperCharlie]

nth Frank

for Furcolow

[ReaperCharlie]

faraday's new avatar = win.

I like "to be Frank" and "Frank", but "I'll be Frank with you" is too wordy and not (giggle) frank enough.

So then I'd say "Frank" would be the best.

[ReaperCharlie]

Nominate Thor665 for

Beard of Wisdom

. Not only for the beard, but also for his exceptional IC play.

And yes, the not-titling-me thing is petty, but I'm not that put out about it. I can put it in my sig if I like it enough. And there are plenty of other people still as-yet-untitled that were suggested long before mine was, i.e. Magna, Percy, and others.

Glad you're putting more effort into it now Oman

[ReaperCharlie]

if chesskid gets a title I might as well leave this site forever because THAT'S PATHETIC.

bye

heh

[ReaperCharlie]

"NordIC" feels forced, and is terrible when tacked onto anything else.

Also, it reduces the tongue-in-cheekness that Beard of Wisdom exemplifies.

[ReaperCharlie]

Use bigger letters, Flay. It might get your point across better.

[ReaperCharlie]

Can my new title be CreeperCharlie? My current title is not applicable.

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite post on the Citadel.

Only gripe is the capitalization of IC, though it is (more than likely) a necessary evil.

Well, having "IC" in it is the whole pun of the thing. If you take that out, then it makes no sense at all.

Why, you ask? ... Because "

Nordic

" isn't even the right term. "

Norse

" is.

The word "

Norse

" is used when speaking of mythology and mythological entities like Thor, Odin, Yggdrasil, etc.

...whereas "

Nordic

" is only the word used to describe today's upper European countries along with Greenland, Iceland, etc.

So without the "IC" in it, it doesn't make sense. And one could argue that it doesn't make sense anyway, because Nordic is the improper word, but I've already intimated that it feels forced, and simply reading the above and clicking the links can tell you it's incorrect.

Hence why

Beard of Wisdom

is the best title. Because "Wisdom" implies IC-ness, and "Beard" implies what his Norse avatar has. Also because "Norse Beard of Wisdom" is too long and also sounds forced. But also because "Beard of Wisdom" just flows off the tongue and sounds badass, in addition to being tongue-in-cheek.

Believe it or not, I actually put thought into the titles I suggest. That's why so many of them get nth'd and approved.

[ReaperCharlie]

Anyhow, Wisebeard >>> Beard of Wisdom

*punches inHim in the kidney*

Nominate ABR for

Townsperson

context?

[ReaperCharlie]

Well, I can see that you're a good townie for the most part, and that you wrote a guide on how to be a good townie, etc.

But I don't get the title nom.

[ReaperCharlie]

Well, I can see that you're a good townie for the most part, and that you wrote a guide on how to be a good townie, etc.

But I don't get the title nom.

Townsperson is the title you get after you make your first ingame post.

I thought it was after 42 posts. *shrug*

[ReaperCharlie]

The question mark is not part of the title.

[ReaperCharlie]

ITT Thor is lazy just like his normal games

In all seriousness I think

Beard of Wisdom

is a much better fit myself.

1. It encapsulates his 'beard' in game posting, which is an important part of Thor's MS presence, IMO. It isn't 'simply based on his avatar'.
2. The Wisdom portion nods to his IC work which is definately noteworthy.

I see

NordIC

as very much pun based and not that funny. It doesn't capture the 'Essence of Thor' nearly as well as Beard of Wisdom.

yeah, that's simply my personal opinion but I am standing by it!

<3

Yeah, the Wisdom is meant to imply that he's wise in shepherding newbies. Not that it's a secret power of his beard (though beards imply age, along with which often come wisdom and experience).

Just look at that avatar. He's stroking his mythic beard, from which

all wisdom

flows. Feel it. Let the legend and the myth flow through you.

Beard of Wisdom

is clearly the best title.

However, if you really

must

wrangle "IC" in there (unnecessary imo), MythIC works just as well as NordIC, an actually *is* terminologically correct.

No love for

Sorry, right account

for Faraday?

right on this account

?

I honestly think

Mistaken on All Accounts

is better than Right (or even Correct) on this Account.

It's really only funny if you are enough of an oldbie to have heard it in conversation though (not too sure about kids these days, they're all about slang and stuff. But I think it hearkens back well to the time period in which Faraday runs a lot of his games, and thus I think it's fitting).

Sorry, Right Account

is alright. It'd be twice as good if we could include a in the title, too. Possible, Flay?

[ReaperCharlie]

MythIC

is pretty fucking good.

You know how I roll.

"Pretty f***ing good" is just par for the course.

[ReaperCharlie]

"MythICal Beard of Wisdom"?

[ReaperCharlie]

So Norse/NordIC Beard of Wisdom is too long and sounds forced, but MythIC Beard of Wisdom is fine?
VOTE: RC

It is true. I am lying scum.

[ReaperCharlie]

EpIC Beard

?

Too reminiscent of this guy, and not enough of this guy.

[ReaperCharlie]

IC Dead People

?

That would be a good title for an IC who was often scum, and killed off tons of newbies!

[ReaperCharlie]

Nah that's dumb.

[ReaperCharlie]

I don't really dig the MythIC love. I don't know where it is coming from.

derp?

Mythic = Thor is mythical.
IC = Thor665 is a good IC.

Thus, MythIC = Thor665 (named obviously for Thor, a mythical bearded Norseman with a mythical

non-bearded

hammer) is a good IC. Whether he's good enough to be considered

mythic

or not is immaterial in that we are naming him out of friendliness, not out of strict accuracy and anal retentiveness.

I still prefer

Beard of Wisdom

.

...or if MythIC

has

to be in it, then

Bearded MythIC

might work as well, but... *mutters*

[ReaperCharlie]

Agreed. Which is why

Beard of Wisdom

is clearly the best.

[ReaperCharlie]

I never said I thought MythIC was the best. I was just explaining to our fearless leader Oman why people liked it, why it sorta makes sense, and why it should be considered, albeit along clearly superior titles like

Beard of Wisdom

.





Also,

Beard of Wisdom

.

[ReaperCharlie]

I prefer NordIC over MythIC myself actually. However, they both seem to be based off of his avatar.

Which is based off his username. Is that a problem?

[ReaperCharlie]

I agree with Nacho getting a title for that; it's cool! ... I'll have to get my brain gears turning on it.

I don't like the CSL title suggestions. Stuff like "Who am I?" fits any number of people better than CSL.

[ReaperCharlie]

How about "

Hey! Loophole Abuse!

" for Nacho?

(click this reference link at your own risk)

Flay, is it possible to include emoticons in titles? Such as "

Sorry, right account

" for Faraday?

[ReaperCharlie]

I don't really like The Ruler. Too plain and not funny or rewarding enough. Also, makes me think he rules over things instead of breaks the rules regarding things. A resounding "meh" is struggling to escape my lips, but I don't wanna be a wet blanket if everyone else likes it.

[ReaperCharlie]

Off-topic, to answer about mastin2 versus Mastin, I had always intended to retire the name "Mastin", eventually, ever since I created mastin2 a year and a half ago. The idea was to start playing one or two games as Mastin, and then switch over once I was confident I had stopped sucking. =P That way, theoretically, the name "mastin2" would not be tarnished with a bad game, and every game would be a good, solid performance. Losing my Gambit made me switch over a bit before I was planning to, but it was something I was going to do, anyway.

If everyone knows it's you, what's the point?

Nominate mastin2 for

Too Obv

.

[ReaperCharlie]

Nah, they're both stupid.

Devil in the Details is much better.

[ReaperCharlie]

I'll

nth Devil in the Details

too. SpyreX-suggested titles ftw.

[ReaperCharlie]

haha, that first link is an epic grammar correction failure. I think I just soiled myself.

[ReaperCharlie]

Something I mentioned in chat:

Does

The Devil in the Details

add anything (other than another word)?

It's better without.

Devil in the Details is also a song name.

[ReaperCharlie]

Ah yes, "bastard"

is better

[ReaperCharlie]

NordIC Myth is terrible.

Agreed.

Also,

Beard of Wisdom

.

[ReaperCharlie]

Aside from the fact that SpyreX just suggested

that very thing

....

...it's pretty stupid.

[ReaperCharlie]

No. Just no.

Deleted a few scatter posts to refocus the topic.

RC I've easily deleted more of your posts than anyone else. This thread is becoming more and more focused on relevance. Please try to keep it on rails.

Shall do.

I am impressed with the turnaround time on NS's title, btw.

I shall give you less grief henceforth.

[ReaperCharlie]

Reminds me too much of "Noisome".

(Which, incidentally, is how a Bostoner would say Norsome anyway).

[ReaperCharlie]

I think it's Norse + Awesome?

Oh. The whole thing is clunky, but the "seo" in the middle makes it unintelligible.

Since we're talking

awesomeness

now...

Beard of Awesome

?

Spoiler:

.

jk.

Beard of Wisdom

is still obviously the best.

[ReaperCharlie]

I know you've already got your title and such Faraday, but I really think

...should I be here?

is twice as good as what you have now:

...Should I Be Here?

^ This one looks dumb.

[ReaperCharlie]

Well, you never explained, see?

[ReaperCharlie]

Can I seriously Nth the

Never getting a title

title?

I like the irony in it.

No.

Oh, cool. Now I know that its a good title!

Thanks

Yeahhh, no.


"Never getting a title" as a title is not only oxymoronic, but it cheapens what Thor is being mentioned/honored here for.

That's not even mentioning the fact that it leaves the eventual reader with no clue as to why Thor would never get another title. They might come to the wrong conclusion that he was one of the miscreants of the forum, or had been in the past, and that's probably not what this title's train of thought is trying to convey either. Thus, it's a terrible title.

If one were to actually pursue the aforementioned line of thinking, at least in terms of finding a title that would imply that Thor's title was hard to pick out due to

good

reasons, instead of that Thor wasn't getting a title due to

bad

reasons, they might find that "Too Cool For School" or "No Title is Cool Enough" (or shorter derivations on this idea) would convey the actual meaning much better.

However they'd also find that this title would also be stupid and gimmicky, and would again cheapen what Thor was being mentioned/honored here for. That is why nipping this thought process in the bud and saying "No." is pretty much the best response to something as dumb as "Never Getting a Title".

Additionally, you'll find that when I say "No." to a title, I'm not just saying it because "succinctness is pro-town" or because I'm trying to be funny like Ythan or cyberbob (or any of their newfound acolytes, namely yourself and a few others), but it's because I've actually put thought into the thing, and realized that it's stupid. I do not wish to bore people with these explanations, and I do not wish to type them up myself, so a "No." is probably the best you'll get, from time to time.

Now stop being an idiot.

[ReaperCharlie]

I'm not begging for anything. I'm just continuing to say I dislike crappy ones, while pointing out that I've already expressed that I liked one that was suggested for me. If that's begging to you then there's not much I can do to change your opinion.


And yes, tajo, that's the one.

[ReaperCharlie]

It's a shame

IC you lookin at my luxurious beard

doesn't fit on one line. Almost though.

I

like

that. Maybe change it to "manly beard"? Or just put it in a smaller font (if possible)?

Though I like Papa Smurf as well (fits on multiple levels, the clunky IC thing doesn't feel shoehorned in)

Is

Sarah Palin

a good title for RC?

Papa Smurf is... meh. If he likes it, then what the hell, but Beard of Wisdom is much better, obv.

IC you like my beard

is a good condensed version of inHim's suggestion, and it's funny enough imo.

And lol, Sarah Palin is a sucky title for RC. Sigh. Maybe for [that other name], but not this account.

[ReaperCharlie]

No.

I would be willing to settle for

MythIC Beard

, since apparently the clearly superior

Beard of Wisdom

is getting no love.

lol

You have no idea if I have an idea of what you're talking about.

Stop pretending like you're part of the "in-crowd".

The point is, your link makes no sense in context, and that makes your post a bad one.

Also I suggest that title suggestions based in Forum 62 activity be handled with care, as it necessarily excludes a part of the userbase from getting the reference.

Well honestly there are a lot of titles that some people don't get;

I don't understand the meaning behind a lot of the older scummers titles.
Doesn't make them any less interesting though.

If F62 is where somebody spends a lot of their time, obviously their title is going to be based from their activities there.

I don't feel like it's necessary to handle them any different basically.

Agreed. There should be no separate criteria for initiating/judging F62-related titles.

[ReaperCharlie]

avatar based titles are wrong and the work of the devil. etc

Not always. Some are great. Plus, plenty already exist.

And if it's a past avatar, that lends a little to the inside-joke-ness of it.

I personally like most avatar-based titles I've seen, unless they're

shamefully

redundant.

[ReaperCharlie]

how about

now abridged!

or

new abridged version!

then?

[ReaperCharlie]

[ReaperCharlie]

Meh.

[ReaperCharlie]

Either that or

Neo-Luddite

. Fits overall, though.

[ReaperCharlie]

Why isn't Korts "That Other Guy"?

Actually, I always thought of Korts as the one, and Oman as the other.

I don't see why it was stripped, though.

[ReaperCharlie]

Really, Uncle Potbear is getting laughs? What the hell, folks?

Who else will you

ever

call Uncle Potbear?
Who else will

we

Do you deny that he

is

Uncle Potbear?

:goodposting:

[ReaperCharlie]

A lot of the capitalization in recent titles is b0rked.

Here is: Currently -> Fixed

Magna:

Has Been Killed Night 1

->

has been killed Night 1

Faraday:

...Should I Be Here?

->

...should I be here?

Also, this one is improperly written, and has been for years:

Kast:

tl,dr;

->

tl;dr

Also, whatever happened to

Hammerhead

for SharkFinn?

Make it happen, Cap'n!

[ReaperCharlie]

On the subject of fixing titles, I re-propose that MagnaofIllusions's

Has Been Killed Night 1

be changed to

was killed Night 1

to fit in with the usual flavor of death scenes.

Oman doesn't listen to smart people. Only people that suck up to him.

But that's true of almost anyone in positions of "power", soooo

[ReaperCharlie]

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

I am rolling tactically without sound (at work, ya dig), and it was still one of the best 5 posts I have read on MS this entire decade.

Darn. I would have voted for you over DGB if only I'd seen this post first. LOL

[ReaperCharlie]

thats pretty racist imo

quiet, you. its hilarious

[ReaperCharlie]

Percentages are inconvenient?

No, they are awesome, keep them as they are.

[ReaperCharlie]

Eehm, isn't there a timeparadox as well when he is playing in a game if not killed night 1? He still is alive then, as well.

Yes but then you can begin every response to him with "I thought you were dead".

Not on Day 1. Only on Day 2 and onwards.
