Dance of the Title Fairy

[Mr. Flay]

I think Talitha should be "Dr. Dead" instead of Dr. Death, if she's going that route...

[Mr. Flay]

A while back Norinel suggested a doctor-related title for me due to my inability to live though Day 1 as a doc. The curse continues so I think I'd like a doc title.

'It's not easy being a doctor' or 'Dr Death' or something else?
Or should I stick with what I've got?

This was posted a month ago but got no play at the time; I was trying to jumpstart it, and adding that if she dies all the time, then she's the predicate, not the subject. Hence, "Dr. Dead".

[Mr. Flay]

Retainer, actually.

[Mr. Flay]

mathcam, I'm curious: Is there a basis for the "Polygon of Mafia Hunters" title, besides the play on words? Did someone screw up the phrase in a game or something?

[Mr. Flay]

Alright, JEEP, when you get a few iotas of spare time...

Cubsfan: A guy can dream, right?

Just FYI, but CubsFan had to recreate after his password failed: he's now cubsfan4ever instead of cubsfan4life.

[Mr. Flay]

I like "Grunt" for halo freak and "unique" for Blue Sin

What about "4ever&everAmen" for inHim?

[Mr. Flay]

halo: Hush you, we're discussing your fate.

Roland: Since it's supposed to be something related to this site, I'd suggest:

Rolando sez, "F the white!"

but that might be too long.

(go here if you have no idea what I'm talking about)

[Mr. Flay]

Shall we look for relevance?

I'll second "this" - the original post says your title ought to have something to do with the board, not just an in-joke no one here will get...(obviously there are exceptions, like "The Shadow...knows").

Sorry halo, you're still relatively new to my eyes so "Grunt" seemed to be the only one that made sense. Is "Spartan" a title in the game or something?

[Mr. Flay]

So did we ever reach a conclusion for me?

I'd say "no decision", or at least no on the current suggestion.

It seems to be a mutual admiration society in here suggesting titles for their RL friends, which isn't really the point of a title...

Vote: No

to warpdragon...I haven't really seen one that stands out for halo freak yet.

Meanwhile, Crola is by NO means the most erratic poster around. He's not even the most insane (although he is consistent in his mild insanity). I'm tempted to make a play on words (Crayola), but I think there's enough of that out there right no (

cf

: Rolando, ZONEFACE, STD, etc)

[Mr. Flay]

I dunno, I'd almost want to give W_W something like "nevermind..." in small text, for the way she rambles on and then tells us to disregard whatever it was (rl, tv show, the weather, etc) that had nothing to do with the game...it's pretty funny, she does it nearly every time.

[Mr. Flay]

many of the titles I've seen have nothing to do with the site, such as Mole's "Die suck die"

I wasn't around when mole got his, and would have voted against such a beast at the time, *unless* it's a quote from a game, which I suspect. It's awfully random to be an "in joke".

[Mr. Flay]

I dunno, for Yaw all I'm coming up with is "Tentacle Monster" for his icon, and I don't think that's good enough... have to play more games with him.

I still don't get Pie_is_good's anagram (was it used in a game), but I think his (her?) should perhaps reference the fact that everyone confuses what gender he (she?) is...or isn't...or at least they used to last time I played with him (her). "Pie_is_male"? Maybe I'm behind the times...

[Mr. Flay]

How do you tell if a pie is male or female? Look under the avatar...

Bah; that's crazy talk!

They're crocodiles.

You're kidding. Right? All I could come up with was a cross of calatrava, and that seemed rather unlikely.

Crocodiles. Huh. Well, unlike Quagmire's, I have no idea how long you've had that avatar, so I can't say if it'd be appropriate... the only thing that's coming to mind right now are airplane jokes (Yaw...pitch..etc)

[Mr. Flay]

I don't get the F.

Check post 1230 in this thread, which eventually leads you here.

[Mr. Flay]

*laugh* Save the Dragon's suggestion requires less explanation... but it's true. I am the scummiest, except Phoebus apparently.

[Mr. Flay]

Post 262 here. That, the fact that I've gotten lynched 3 timed Day 1 becuase I claimed vanilla towine, and my username, I would like "Aliens never lie"

Your username doesn't say anything (to me) about aliens...probably a bit obscure.

In other news, being a townie three times (four?) in a row is not unusual...and if you're getting lynched for it, I would look at your playing style before trying to get your townieness confirmed in your title.

[Mr. Flay]

You Have Been TERMINATED

Catchy no?

Yeah, but it's been *sooo* done..

[Mr. Flay]

I'm liking Chat Mistress for nonny, too...

[Mr. Flay]

BabyJesus - "Covered in petrol, on fire..", but that may just be me... </izzard>

[Mr. Flay]

How about just "SmartyPants", then?

[Mr. Flay]

I think it's obvious. It means Inhim's not going to be...well...MoS's locationing.

Is this English?

[Mr. Flay]

But I just thought of something...
How can I be hall monitor if I'm supposed to lighten up??

Yeah, but Hall Monitors are supposed to be seen as despotic power-mongers who should lighten up...no one said they ever listened to the advice.

I like the mustache, however.

[Mr. Flay]

Alright, I'll put forth some participation to this thing ..

I nominate LoudMouthLee for Brass balls, Balls of Brass, or something of the like for his playing in Newbie 113. The comment was made by Mr. Flay.

Ehhh, I've got much better things to 'call' LML...

At this point, I'd suggest the same thing for him someone did about me a few pages back: "leave him as Mafia Scum, because it's a perfect description already"

[Mr. Flay]

I dunno, I'm preferring Pseudo-n00b for Stoofer at this point. I don't think he's nearly as bad as he thinks he is....

[Mr. Flay]

Nominate Mr Stoofer for: Most experienced n00b

I like this one better than previous suggestions. I'm not crazy about either of the Brian Mc suggestions, but "My wit is broken" is funnier, in my world.

[Mr. Flay]

I'm wondering if Brian should get the title, "It's crrrrrrapp!"

[Mr. Flay]

MattV should be "Second Minotaur" then... Funnier, not so damn literal...

/against bisexual sociopathic hooker for Rolando. What have you all got against sociopaths?? And F the White is still funny...

[Mr. Flay]

So if it's both PolarBoy and PeaceBringer, maybe there's something about the initials PB that's causing this phenomenon?

I'd go for "PolarBoy's Heir Apparent" or something similar...

[Mr. Flay]

Posts Blindly?

[Mr. Flay]

I'd nominate Mr. Flay for a wiki related title, in light of the amount of work he does on the wiki, and especially his contribution to Wiki educator in this Forum.

Perhaps "Wiki Master" or "Lord of the Wiki". Or for those of you who like alliteration: "Wiki Wonder" or l33t: "pwns the Wiki".

I find this very amusing, since literally yesterday I added MafiaScum to Wikipedia's links section.

[Mr. Flay]

Well, if you all still trust me with that title...

[Mr. Flay]

If my opinion counts, I think WiKid is better, as it avoids dethroning KE, and is a more cleverer pun.

"Second Minotaur" was one option.

He's the Fifth, actually. It's starting to get like Doctor Who I think.

Dr. Mino, maybe?

[Mr. Flay]

Please recap mine to WiKid - even though we're going away from CamelCase, it's still funny...

[Mr. Flay]

Yeah, lurking shouldn't be rewarded. Maybe "..." is all I can come up with, but that doesn't encompass your occasional rant.

"

...!...

" ?

[Mr. Flay]

Nominate Coron for "...and all I got was this stupid title!"

[Mr. Flay]

Wicked!

[Mr. Flay]

"I know you're getting tired of hearing this... but I'm back"

or something less wordy

I'm back!?!

What?

[Mr. Flay]

No, Puzzle's title should be "Has a Cunning Plan." It's very much his trademark.

Then that should be his

signature

. Titles are bestowed, and should be (IMO) of the format dybeck wrote.

[Mr. Flay]

Vote: Dourgrim

for "mikehart Sr." The reflexiveness with mikehart's new title is too funny to pass up.

I have no opinion on PBuG since I wasn't in the game, but "I Win!" seems to be gaining ground.

Fritzler totally needs to be "More /in than you!". The other is a one-off joke that he's not even responsible for.

Thok: Ehhh, I don't get it.

MoS: Ehhh, I'd have more of an idea what his title should be if he lurked less. What about "Hunter Lurker"?

[Mr. Flay]

If Dourgrim doesn't want to switch, I think he should get some sort of precedence on that. I thought he said something about L.G.H.S. being too obscure now that so much time has passed, but that may have been someone else...

[Mr. Flay]

Nominate Yosarian2 for

Shrugger

. If I need to explain it, then its not a good suggestion.

I don't get it; but that doesn't really matter, since I don't get a lot of the suggestions (I'm not in ALL that many games, and I don't do GD/MishMash). I do like *shrug* better, provided it's something site related...

[Mr. Flay]

I think/hope the O RLY stuff will blow over, and MoS will continue to lurk, so I prefer the other title suggestion.

[Mr. Flay]

Y'know, somehow I don't think that's what Mervyn Peake had in mind when he wrote about the death owls in the Tower of Flints...

[Mr. Flay]

I figured MoS' title would revert to its previous incarnation once this owl thing blows oevr...(just a little incentive to let it die, eh MoS?)

[Mr. Flay]

Mod, I'd like to thread-kill all the alts posting in here....

[Mr. Flay]

I vote against AniX having a title with anything to do with UPick.

I also vote against AniX having

any

title until he's been in more games. Anyone else noticed he still has Goon status? I don't think we should be handing out titles based on participation in chat alone to the exclusion of the site.

Seconded, with feeling.

[Mr. Flay]

I definately agree with the Anix not getting a title until he satisfies the psoting requirement. I'm also of the opinion that his title should be something that annoys him, like "Hates Scully", or "Maybe the inventor of Upick" or "Attention Whore".

How about "Pay attention to meeeee!!!"

[Mr. Flay]

Backup God?

[Mr. Flay]

I like "Flexible", but the direct RB=Seol suggestions are too obvious. Part of the fun is the surprise element.

Seol's "Logical Rampage" though, is funny enough to second.

Prefer something like "Scully's Biggest Fan!!!!1!eleven" for AniX...

I don't get raj's or d_mage's.

[Mr. Flay]

Or maybe "I think, therefore, I lie."

I

like

it! And yes, the Latin version is too obscure in this context.

[Mr. Flay]

I think we've sorted it out now, looks like some of the awards were given with reversed slashes, which IE can read but Firefox chokes on, so it gives the alt text, which happens to be the player's own title.

[Mr. Flay]

Planned additions:

Dirge - Lost his Marbles
PBuG - I win
Yosarian2 - *shrug*
Thoth - Not the spot
Norinel - Not Voting (3)
armlx - Prof. Chilly
Seol - Logical Rampage
Rainbow Brite - Verbose Bugger
elvis_knits - Queen of Rock'n'Purl
MikeBurnFire - Flasher
Thok - Disgrace to SKs everywhere
Cogito Ergo Sum - I think, therefore I lie
Thok - Bork, bork, bork
rajrhcpfreak - I puzzle

myself

sometimes
Dourgrim - Yep. Again.

I don't like Thoth's, it's too meta/based on another player.

What's the deal with armlx's?

MBF - eh, doesn't strike me particularly, but not enough to oppose it.

Thok - support the "Disgrace" one.

Up for consideration/debate:

Coron - Shameless Plug
Coron - MeMe's Personal Whipping Boy
MoS - Most Prolific Lurker
Fritzler - More /in than you!
Fritzler - Pretzel
Puzzle - *

banging

*
Puzzle - Has a Cunning Plan
Anix - Scully Stalker
Anix - Inventor of UPick
Iammars -

Not

"Iammers"
Iammars - Mefie scum
Iammars - Mers I am not

Coron - Shameless Plug

MoS - ehhh, nah. Doesn't he have one now that's better?

Fritzler - More /in than you

Puzzle - cunning plan one

AniX - Scully's Stalker

Iammars - Mers I am not

...aaaaaaand:

Leonidas for: Best Night Performer, based on his new Scummies.

[Mr. Flay]

How about:

MBF - Flashy

[Mr. Flay]

Nominate MoS for "Crankeh!" (without the quotes)

[Mr. Flay]

I like Inventor of Scully.

[Mr. Flay]

Nominate Pink Princess for "Crimson Centurion" or "Bloodthirsty Babe"; she put the hammer down

all three Days

in Newbie #198, as a Plain Townie.

[Mr. Flay]

thats scumchat rubbing off on her 8)

Ewww, you get your scumchat off of her!

[Mr. Flay]

Just plain "Triggerhappy" seems clear enough...also references his Newbie where he was "happy" not to pull the trigger, but I could be stretching there.

I not really crazy about the "Mafia #2" thing, since it seems like a one-off.

[Mr. Flay]

Nominate Glork for

Get Glorked

or something similar; seeing his name used as a verb in the forum threads had me cracking up a couple of weeks ago, but I've been too busy to post.
