It has to be Nurse Joy.

Not if he or Oman don't like it.

*facepalm*

I think you can figure out that I'm showing support for it, SKrew.

[SleepyKrew]

Sorry, I couldn't tell

[Fritzler]

think you meant read more Ken Kesey

Snaps.

[Mr. Flay]

Ratched Up

?

[Korts]

Nurse Joy is wonderful indeed.

[quadz08]

Yeah, ok, Nurse Joy is pretty good. We just need Kuribo to get in here and tell him how much he loves pokemon (we hope).

[Amrun]

So Amrun is sporting a fancy new title

Killed the Radio Star

, but why:

First and foremost is This post where Amrun states that she likes this title. It's not the only thing that matters, but when a community title clicks with the user that is a huge marker to me that a title describes that person well.

Secondly it's a very easy link to make: Who killed the radio star? Video. Video -> Youtube, bam. It's not a long convoluted in-joke, it's accessible.

I think it's a very cute little story, and Amrun's response to it is very indicative of her (to me, at least, and evidently to a few others).

Finally, a good marker that this isn't a horrible decision is that most of the argument was not "title-worthiness", but more about exactly what form the story should take (think back to Thor's title if you don't get why this matters). People evidently support Amrun receiving a title, people evidently support the incident being funny, I just had to choose the punchline.

To those who came up with ideas that weren't selected, I'd just like to thank you for making that one an awesomely interactive discussion, rather than general bitching and sniping.

Why not

House

?

I laughed.

Nurse Joy

would suit him perfectly.

I think I like House the best, honestly, but Nurse Joy is a great dichotomy and I like it. Plus his job is closer to a nurse.

[Chevre]

seeing how his username is kuribo, what about

Nurse Reficule the Fallen One

?

[Twistedspoon]

^that is an incredibly vague card and reference

[Ythan]

Nurse Joy has better layers.

[SleepyKrew]

"seeing how his username is" does not lead to good things.

[izakthegoomba]

And anyway, it's Kuribo as in Kuribo's Shoe, not Kuriboh.

[Staeg]

Yeah, his name doesn't come from yugioh.

[Mr. Flay]

Is Nurse Joy pokemon? Does kuribo even like pokemon? If not, stop being ten.

Lol hell yes Nurse Joy

would be even funnier if he hated Pokemon

[shaft.ed]

FWIW I know nothing of Pokemon and I still like Nurse Joy

[mastin2]

I also like Nurse Joy for kuribo as well.

However, I'm here for a different nomination...

---

Nominate Palisade for the title of "ABANDON HOPE, YE WHO ENTER!"

(Yes, with the caps and exclamation mark. )

It has a very loooooooong history of...well, quite frankly, bad luck. My quote, describing it?

The hydra of Palisade is...shall we say...

special

.

By which I mean, "cursed".

On our first game, it was Pine/myself as Redhead/Almond (we were anonymous at the time, hence the callsigns), and...we drew Serial Killer. Where Pine scumclaimed. Multiple times. (I think that was his first time as third party.) I had to do my best to dig us out of the holes he created for us. Worse, when I was on LA and really beginning to feel the stress, exactly when I needed him...Pine siteflaked, leaving me to fight on my own.

Despite a valiant effort, I by myself (as I had no backup) was eventually lynched by the scum, who knew we were a NK-immune serial killer and needed us gone in order to win. (Reck, for the curious, got scummy nom'd for his manipulation.)

Our second game (where we weren't third party! We were town), Mortal Kombat Mafia, Pine didn't get a chance to really play in, since he site-flaked (see above) just as it was starting...forcing me to play on my own until I finally gave up, realized I was too stressed, and brought in help (Twistedspoon), and then...was immediately lynched. (Scum won that game.)

Our third game (TS and I, in this case), we drew third party *again*, this time a lyncher. Where we faked a posting restriction in a game modded by Slaxx, who apparently hates posting restrictions. Yeah...we won D2 by faking a cop guilty as our only post for that day, but still, that was a stroke of luck and town incompetence more than actual play.

Shortly after that, Twistedspoon stopped playing, not to resume until after we were dead in this game.

...And then there was this game. [New York 146]

Pine and I, again.

Nacho joined.

...And then things began to go horribly wrong. Pine never really devoted much to the game at all. Nacho's computer broke. I was left effectively on my own...AGAIN...and under incredible stress. I contacted Oversoul because we were about to hydra as Ovstin, as well as former Palisade member Twistedspoon (who didn't seem interested, though I never asked directly). Oversoul accepted.

...And then bad weather hit, leaving ME effectively gone and OVERSOUL on his own.

...And then shortly after that, Oversoul HIMSELF had computer issues of some kind AS WELL.

That's not including Nacho coming back only to leave again.

And the only reason we weren't lynched day one was because of the modkill, causing us to be lynched day two.


...You can't get much worse luck in a hydra than THAT.

Hence, cursed.

As a final piece of Irony, for Team Mafia, The Colonnades' working team name was Team Palisade...and we didn't get in. Not by a longshot, in fact. I was gone, Oversoul sent it in, Thor sent it in even later than Oversoul did, and Nacho was also somewhere else. Meaning we had bad luck AGAIN in regards to being able to play.

[SleepyKrew]

That looks mightily like a self-nom.

[mastin2]

If it were an alt, sure, but it's a hydra.

Besides, I definitely think it's noteworthy given the history behind the name. Heck, there's probably more to it than the above which I simply have forgot to mention.

[Feirei]

You were a part of said hydra, thus, it's a self-nom.

[Mr. Flay]

You were a part of said hydra, thus, it's a self-nom.

[Faraday]

It's just a flaky hydra? Not that rare, are they?

[IceGuy]

Nominate kondi2424 for

Serial Flaker
