Dance of the Title Fairy: ORCA's Greatest Hits

[izakthegoomba]

No. Just... no.

[izakthegoomba]

Because overusing a lame smily doesn't warrant a title.

[izakthegoomba]

Nominate Amrun for

Insane Grammar Cop

I lol'd, but I don't think it will stay funny.

[izakthegoomba]

Nominate izakthegoomba for "3000" or something.

Mish Mash Mod = MMM = 3000

Could be a perm title for whoever has the post.

[izakthegoomba]

Us guys in charge of threads have to stick together
/plug

?

[izakthegoomba]

I have a nom, but I'm not allowed to post it yet... someone help us out here?

[izakthegoomba]

Maybe... Isa for

Why not try a holiday in Sweden this year?

Almost every time I see one of his posts in GD, he says something about Sweden.

[izakthegoomba]

I think it's subtler without, but either works.

[izakthegoomba]

I think if we're going to use the Monty Python reference at all, it should be the full quote. "Swedish Holiday" doesn't really make sense as a title - I wouldn't immediately notice the reference and see why it was funny, nor would I immediately associate it with Isa. With the full quote, however, even someone who wasn't familiar with the reference could probably get the gist of it.

Of course, I understand what you're saying about the length. If we have to find a shorter title, I just think it should be something different entirely.

[izakthegoomba]

None of them really capture the Sweden reference, IMO.

[izakthegoomba]

Don't be disappointed, it was just an idea I had when I saw some old post of yours.

[izakthegoomba]

You people have a weird taste in Swedes. I think of Isa as our token Swede much more than Johhog.

[izakthegoomba]

"Also also" is part of the ongoing reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

[izakthegoomba]

Oh, the irony...

It has to be Nurse Joy.

[izakthegoomba]

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.

[izakthegoomba]

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

[izakthegoomba]

Why would we want to reward flakiness?

[izakthegoomba]

also nurses

[izakthegoomba]

Something like

Psychogical Investigator

for Psyche would be neat.

Why?

[izakthegoomba]

Almost forgot: nominating saulres for

Prod Police

. Or maybe

Prod Nazi

, or something else similar.

Throughout Worst Role Mafia, it was rare for more than a few days (irl) to go by without him requesting prods on people, whether they were due one or not. I imagine it's particularly memorable to me because I was on the receiving end of those requests, but I think it's generally amusing and memorable. Especially sicne I have no idea what he was trying to accomplish by doing so (he was a Werewolf).

Spoiler: some examples

13) Players will be prodded after 72 hours of not posting, or

after 48 hours if a player requests a prod.

@Mod

: Requesting prods of numberQ, Agent_Ireland, and Shiidaji.

@Mod: Prods please?

numberQ, GimmickyAlt

/prod recieved

And?

@Mod

: Prod ManiacalLemon please?

@Mod:

: Requesting prods of Agent_Ireland and Foxace36. And how's that replacment for ManiacalLemon coming along?

Yay for replacements!

Now we're all set with--

Damn.

@Mod

: Requesting prod of Gimmicky Alt

3) Gimmicky Alt's "Hey I've been prodded, better post something" post is so useless, that Gimmicky is probably lurkscum and goes into that pile for me.

@Mod

Requesting prods of

BBmolla 2 days 3 hours (but 40 posts elsewhere -- anyone who knows me knows I consider this a scumtell, and I'd vote except with such a close deadline I don't think it'll be viable at the moment.)
knox 2 days 21 hours
Captain Haddock 3 days 10 hours

Also

@Mod: Requesting prods of YYR and Foxace

.

@Mod

: Add Pokerface to this list please.

Mod: Please replace Foxace, he's up to 3 prods and we need some productivity from that slot

Sigh.

@Mod

: Requesting prod of Pokerface

There were some by PM, too. I swear, I wasn't

that

bad with prods.

[izakthegoomba]

I think

Wielder of the Pointed Stick

would be better. Though

CONSTANT VIGILANCE

is good too.

[izakthegoomba]

It doesn't really work without the caps though. Possibly caps, but a smaller size.

[izakthegoomba]

What if only the vigilance part of saulres title was capitalized?

IMO that's worse than no caps at all. Which is much worse than all caps, btw.

[izakthegoomba]

...is RD or whoever s/he really is gay then? Because if not, it makes a sub-par title really terrible.

[izakthegoomba]

3rd >EVERY!@ONE

[izakthegoomba]

I move for new legislature which stipulates that only people with custom titles can post in the custom titles thread (unless [insert caveat here such as verification of certain events, etc]).

3/4 of the threadshitting problem = solved. And Oman might actually come around more often and do the shit he's supposed to without having to worry about deleting shit.

My 2 cents. Now I'm outta here.

Are you serious? I could understand it if you wanted to limit suggestions to a certain amount of time on-site, but hell, what you're suggesting would just kill the thread. Plus, there are plenty of reasonable, sensible, and even venerable people who don't have custom titles.

[izakthegoomba]

this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this... etc, etc, etc...

I might be more inclined to agree with you if there was something wrong with the majority of those...

[izakthegoomba]

Yeah, did Oman ever make a call on that?

[izakthegoomba]

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.

[izakthegoomba]

So Glork's is essentially the same as MoI's?

[izakthegoomba]

Not a bad basis for a title... but a pretty bad title.

[izakthegoomba]

Yeah, if being Gay was something we wanted to make a title out of, half the site should have titles.

[izakthegoomba]

I think Ecstatic works much better because of the subtle reference. Amazing is far too general IMO.

[izakthegoomba]

I guess to make it OFFICIAL:

nominate MattP - Dr. Feelgood

I'll

2nd

that.

[izakthegoomba]

I don't know about the Rach title... HUGS ♥ seems a little too blunt and obvious, but at the same time I feel like changing it would just dilute it.

[izakthegoomba]

nominate Umbrage for dumb rage

Ok, that made me laugh... but it's not really going to happen.

[izakthegoomba]

I was feeling slightly sympathetic towards Umbrage, then I found the context...

[izakthegoomba]

Ythan should be title fairy imo

I do not the the mods would want someone rude joining the team.

The title fairy has nothing to do with the moderation team.

It's still a staff position, chosen by mith. And considering the fairy has total control over very user's title, I'd say it's a pretty important one.

[izakthegoomba]

Title Fairy name should have its own color.

Been said, nothing happened.

[izakthegoomba]

Eh, I definitely think Oman is the best Moogle for this job. Unless he didn't have any time for it, I would be against re-electing.

This. I may think Oman is a little too strict at times, but I c
certainly can't think of anyone better for the position.

[izakthegoomba]

Grammatical errors are

great

a basis for a title.

[izakthegoomba]

shotty just fucking admit it's you so we can all go "wow you've actually improved" and get over it

You really still think he's shotty?

[izakthegoomba]

That's brilliant, if gunny doesn't mind the mild association.

Nth

(and robo I think he was joking)

[izakthegoomba]

I've read a game of his and he's not that bad.

[izakthegoomba]

I don't think it's absolutely necessary that titles are "earned". If that were the case, well, there are plenty of amazing people who have "earned" titles who don't have them.

If the title is good enough and it really suits the recipient, I think it should be given anyway.

[izakthegoomba]

Just because UN is a bad poster it doesn't mean you need to tell him to "fuck off" or "shut up" every time he posts.

[izakthegoomba]

mafiascum.net is better than just mafiascum

Actually, I think mafiascum is better than just mafiascum.net.

But enough derail, someone suggest a title.

[izakthegoomba]

Just because UN is a bad poster it doesn't mean you need to tell him to "fuck off" or "shut up" every time he posts.

How boring your life must be if you only do what you feel you need to.

Sure, but it's getting pretty old.

[izakthegoomba]

What for?

[izakthegoomba]

I'd prefer

I AM A GOD

[izakthegoomba]

Both?

[izakthegoomba]

I think this is getting far too close to you choosing your own title.

[izakthegoomba]

Wasn't it you avidly defending him a few weeks ago when everyone else was talking about getting a new Fairy?

[izakthegoomba]

Well you wrote some big speech on it anyway. Which I was foolish enough to defend you over when Bob and Ythan and that crowd descended...

[izakthegoomba]

I, for one, agree with the notion that we're being too strict about titles.

[izakthegoomba]

kdowns- If you remove the 'spam game threads' aspect, does it have more value for it's recognition of site contribution (like Flay's wikid)?

Well I am just thinking about it, Looking at Reck's title "GD is my wingman" which was given to him before I joined the site, I know it comes from "Guys Part 2", Flay's title, I've always known where that has come from. Looking at Om's possible title, two months down the road will we remember where it is from?

Jrammar Nazi? NK-Immune Miller Vig? Welcome to the Haystack? dem.agogue? Khan Man?

And that's just from the last page.

[izakthegoomba]

Bob's was about how vig should be pronounced, iirc.

[izakthegoomba]

The problem with that is that it's generally (from what I've seen) quoted as "Goddamnit, kdowns". So either we break the rule about names in titles, or we chop half the quote off.

[izakthegoomba]

(personally, I'd rather break the rule about names in titles. I never liked that rule much anyway.)

[izakthegoomba]

No, just the person getting the title, I believe, because it (sometimes) looks clunky.

Drench's old title (like a fat kid likes cake) is an example which directly referenced another user by (admittedly, misspelt) name.

[izakthegoomba]

Ok, I don't think the name "issue" is important enough to justify cutting it down like this.

Counter-nom kdowns for: Goddamnit, kdowns

[izakthegoomba]

I'm outside of the "gang" and I like it.

Also, Premature Assassination.

[izakthegoomba]

Why does it hurt you so much for Om to get a title?

Hurt who?

[izakthegoomba]

It's more than "a little excited". After all this I think

Gold Star

is far better than

SpamWow!

[izakthegoomba]

Except it's a joke title. Which pokes fun at the original suggestion and the events that followed.

[izakthegoomba]

I don't like the "LOL MISH MASH" titles for me, but Mishion InMashable is one of the better ones. I'd still rather wait for something more memorable/specific, though.

[izakthegoomba]

I know it has his name in it, but I can't resist (or come up with a better way of doing this):

For izakthegoomba:

Izak taking a bath

Dafuq. No.

[izakthegoomba]

I don't know, guys...

[izakthegoomba]

Have you never heard the man speak? Imagine him saying "Mister Mash."

That said, I don't see what Sean Connery has to do with the title. >_>

Wait... when did you hear me speak?

[izakthegoomba]

Izak, do you like Mishter Mash? If you don't, then we can end this discussion right now.

Eeeeeh. It's ok, but I'm not in love with it.

I think everyone prefers "Goddamnit" over "Goddamnit, kdowns"

Everyone-1

[izakthegoomba]

Needs to have an N.

Also I believe the original quote was in caps.

[izakthegoomba]

Needs to have an N.

Hello!

Hi! How's it going?
