Yeah, there's not a lot of context in the old title thread itself.
Basically, in like three consecutive games, scums tried to get me wagoned/lynched because I hadn't found scum over the first couple of days. In each case, I refuted the argument, and the Burden of Proficiency tell was formed.
Between that, and my penchant for dying early (I was targeted N1/N2
a lot
back in the day) making it difficult to accomplish much, I was often "burdened" by my "proficiency" at mafia.
There are probably multiple examples of exceptions to any "rule" that Oman has about titles, but a lot of those exceptional titles were put into place by his predecessors anyway, so trying to argue about them under the span of Oman's Title Fairyship is pretty pointless. The reason there is a Title Fairy at all is to create a personal meta for what is and is not allowed, or what should and should not go through in terms of titles while each Fairy is in the position they are in. If this was not the case, then there would not be a position for one sole person to be in charge of doling out titles at their whim or by their own judgement of the community's whims. Otherwise there would be a form you could fill out, and a process in place for any title with enough community support and signatures (nths) to be able to go through. But that's not how it works here.
Oman was here for quite a while the first time he was appointed as Title Fairy, and when chances came to pick a new Title Fairy recently, Oman was chosen again without any significant public outcry. His "re-appointment" as Title Fairy should speak for itself (the site administration likes him where he is, for now). The amount of fuss kicked up when he was reappointed (or rather, the lack thereof) should speak even louder. So again, it's pretty useless to argue about Oman's standards for titles. They're not always going to be 100% consistent because he's human and we all have our inconsistencies, but he's doing a pretty good job and though I would like to see a faster response time for the most part, the quality of titles going through is perfectly adequate. People trying to push through "pet" titles, based falsely on "principle", are doing exactly that.
Cyberbob, what the hell is your problem? I may not agree with everything Oman says, but I don't think anyone really believes he's not the right guy for the job. Unless you have some revolutionary new reason?
At this point it looks like you're trash-talking just because UN posted it which, frankly, is bullshit.
(Mostly) on hiatus until further notice. Planet MafiaScum 2 will be modded by Inspi and JDGA - go check it out!
Glork's wasn't made just because he was good at the game. My understanding is that it became an ongoing joke that if Glork was alive D2 it was because he was scum because Glork was so good at nailing scum that no scum team would leave him alive. That meant he got NKed N1 a ton. That's different than just "being good."
