Yet Another Dance of the Title Fairy: Change Up

[Tierce]

Good grief, Buttons. Clean this spam.

(You have no idea how tempted I am to add fairy wings to your avatar.)

Congrats. Let's hope it's a long time before you regret this. <3

Micro Master? It then incorporates the D&D bit of DungeonMaster too.

Not particularly relevant to Grey. Is it because he's the only one presently hosting an RP campaign with scummers? That isn't really new and spectacular, and the reference seems somewhat obscure and trying to cram more stuff in.

Micro Manager/Management is fine.

[Tierce]

he no longer flakes from games

These links beg to differ.

Merry Christmas, Buttons.

[Tierce]

I think of the whole title fairy business as a fun, community driven side event for the site rather then some super serious and prolonged process.

Tierce is the one who uses it the best though.
But she already has a title.

Cache Me If You Van

(Also, thanks. ^_^)

[Tierce]

Minor nitpick: demon = malevolent, while daemon (daimon) is a class of beings from Greek myth, many of them actually benevolent. (The Roman version of daemons included the Lares, for example.)

The root of the word is the same, but they mean different things. In this case, you're looking for the

demon

version, not the

daemon

one.


That said, it fits myk.

As cute as the pun is--

• noraaa
  
  
  anoraaable

--looks horrible. adoraaable is slightly better, but not enough to make it palatable. Username puns like this are bad.

I'm a filthy Classicism purist, so you know where I stand too.

[Tierce]

1. Ethers and Alberts just saying.

And Seol's. But you are forgetting two things:

1. Those titles make sense individually;
   
2. You are trying to use a precedent that does not apply, because not only does site culture change, but Buttons was not the Title Fairy behind the "Lyrical/Logical/Illogical Rampage" titles. Just because there are matched titles from years ago doesn't mean they should be used again with such a weak "individual title worth".

[Tierce]

Needs to be a little punchier..

ChannelDelibird ->

Card Me

Either that or

Card Czar

(or Tzar, though I prefer the alliteration). It works for Greater Idea, and it also goes back to Ponybash Invitational, where CDB's role was CaH.

[Tierce]

The Czar one works because he was once elected f62 Czar was he not?

Yes.

[Tierce]

Plus Card Tsar is nowhere near as clever or amusing. It's just two separate references slapped together without any real purpose.

"Card Czar" is actually from Cards Against Humanity. The Card Czar is the person whose turn it is to read the black "question" card.

[Tierce]

Is the the card reference for CDB just from meets?

Sorry, I missed this at the time.

It's not just from meets. CDB has been a force behind Skype Mafia for quite a while, and as I said before, "Card Czar" also comes from Cards Against Humanity (no, there is nothing about the black/white cards in particular, Korts; every turn, the Card Czar position rotates through the players). After Ponybash, CDB drew the "Cards Against Humanity" role in Ponybash Invitational, which was a Jack of All Trades that played one card each night for specific 1-shots.

The reference has a root in meets, in Skype Mafia, and in the forums. It's encompassing and recognizable for the active forum community.

It looks fine.

Relevant:

TheButtonmen (7:21): I'm declining hard/badass
TheButtonmen (7:21): one of my standing policies is no profanity in titles
TheButtonmen (7:21): I already quashed happy as fuck when it was brought up for gorkat
TheButtonmen (7:22): I had a good discussion with korts/shea back then about profanity in titles
TheButtonmen (7:22): and my policy now is titles are't the time or place for it
TheButtonmen (7:22): also mith put the pg rule into effect for sigs so I assume that means titles too
blargerer (7:23): that is the policy supported by us too. I'm just not sure I count hardass or badass as being particularly profane.
TheButtonmen (7:23): if it was someones title who wasn't me (aka the Titlefairy) and it had lots of support I'd let badass slip under the profanity barrier
TheButtonmen (7:24): but as tf I don't want to ever have any ambiguity / it used as an example

4th Every breath you take for Cabd

It's ridiculously spot-on.

[Tierce]

It is a neat gimmick, but it doesn't look particularly good as a title, I think.

[Tierce]

I'd like to

nominate piratemollie for Ms. Altslip

soooo many... sooooooooooo many examples. In my memory, at least 50 in the last 2 weeks. <3

This really isn't unique to mollie, though. Ghostlin and ffery do it just as often. Marangal as well.

True, but I've never seen anyone do it as often as mollie does in any single game. The frequency of the slips, page after page, as well as the amount of different mollie-alts that will appear in any one game

is

unique to her, imo.

No, it is not. You're not looking at the right games.

Doesn't mean she's not remarkable for occasional alt-slipping, but it's not particularly unique and it is not one of the first things that comes to my mind when thinking about mollie.

nth Mrs. Waffles

It's on the forums. It's in her games and elsewhere. The sources are there--just go through her posts? You don't have to have a direct interaction with Tammy to get this.

It's fine to not like the title or disagree or whatever, but it's definitely not an outside-the-forums-only thing. And until someone else starts bringing up their cat and their waffly behavior on the forums in the same way Tammy does, that is a pretty unique and memorable thing. (No, zoraster's "Where's Hermes" doesn't count.)

Also, that's a really nice fence she's got there.

[Tierce]

I still prefer Mrs. Waffles to Classic Waffles and Keep Calm and Waffle on. The other two feel more like random phrases with the word "Waffle" in them; moreover, the connection to Waffles the cat is lost. (But maybe I don't get the "Classic Waffles" reference.)

^^^

Besides, Waffles is a mackerel tabby, not a classic one. /nerd
