Yet Another Dance of the Title Fairy: Change Up

If you say so.

UN, would you consider "hated townie" to be an insulting title?

This is what it comes down to really. I dont think its the best for him (not sure whats better)... just dont think its a good path. Despite not being popular on the GD side of the site, UN is probably in the top 10% of players right now and if he thinks its at all a knock against his play, that makes it a bad title.

Something like

Michael Vick of Mafia

for UN (plug in Tiger Woods, Alex Rodriguez, etc depending on sport preference) is better. Reflects being a talented player and at the same time very unpopular

Top 10% most recognizable, definitely. Top 10% quality, almost definitely not. He's probably top 50%, because he's not terrible, or not even bad, really, but he's not one of the elite players by a long shot.

I would take him over a whole lot of people for who I think is a good player, I think a lot of the "he isnt good" comes from the fact that people who dont like him dont WANT him to be good. Real life... yeah top 10% is really pushing it... but forum he is someone I would much much rather have in my faction. He is different but is quite effective when he tries to be an is right more than the average player.

Well thanks Llama. That means a lot.

@ myk: It makes me laugh. But yeah, it's kind of insulting. I would prefer a title for something I'm good at, not something stigmatic.

[shaft.ed]

TBM, you're a gentleman and a scholar.

Why

not

Hermionelle for Umbrage? That's pretty much all I think of (or see) any time he makes a post.
Because "lol I don't like him" or "lol we dont do avatar related titles"? Those are both bollocks reasons.

its a terrible title
youre explanation didnt explain anything

You are very good at being yourself

Oh well, tbm was right in deleting my post then. Still a bit annoyed about it.

Nominate: Klick for

Born Again

Explain it to me.

I just realized I never explained this to you, TBM. I'm sorry.

Klick, a.k.a. Kondi2424 used to be a chronic lurker and flaker that never seemed to finish a game unless it was a scum game and even sometimes he wouldn't finish those. Then, over the summer this past year something happened and Kondi stopped replacing out.

Then he started playing on Klick to try out a new name for himself and he is quickly rising as one of the better scum players on the site (in my opinion) (fucking autocorrect).

It is quite amazing how he can go from a player that is very likely to be placed on blacklists for his inactivity to being a player that actually plays very well. I have seen a common statement pop up these past few months "I do not think we should be suggesting titles that encourage bad behavior". This title goes directly against that in a way that I think is simply wonderful for the community as a whole. Kondi's "resurrection" is exactly the type of behavior that I think we should be encouraging.

Born again obviously does not have to be the title that he gets and I am sure there are much better ones out there that potentially reflect his personality or his play, but it is succinct without getting dramatic and I like that.

Happy Thanksgiving.

[Korts]

nominate UN for asstoot

because he makes plenty of good posts, and he's apparently a keen mafia player, but whenever I see one of his post it just sounds in my head like a fart

[killerjester]

Doesn't work unless everyone hears the farting noise when reading UN's posts.

Born again isn't really fitting if kondi was never good to begin with. Nominate Klick for

Growing the Beard

[Umbrage]

Why

not

Hermionelle for Umbrage? That's pretty much all I think of (or see) any time he makes a post.

See, this is the problem.

I don't want a title based on avatars or .gifs, if that's all you can think of then I haven't done anything title-worthy yet.

Because not one single other person agrees with this idea?

Nice thought, bad execution. I'm sure we can think of a better example than born again.

Gained a level in activity? No that sucks too.

[Nobody Special]

kondi 2.0

kondi v2

kondi Mark II

I suck at this.

So if we are going to be trying to get titles that we think are great but would never get accepted, does that mean we can change LLD to Rush Limbaugh? She is loved by half the site, hated by the other half and when challenged at all immediately goes into screaming and blowing hot air.

[quadz08]

(who wants to take bets which half of the site Llama is in)

Re: Klick. I do like the 'born again' concept; it's quite good. I'm not sure there's a better joke to come out of that, though.

[UberNinja]

Kondi 2.0

is actually cool.

Fine, screw

Hermionelle

.

[killerjester]

Come on guys, it's perfect.

Growing the Beard

, it shows how he's taken on a much more respectable identity.

Kondi 2.0

sounds like the title we'd be giving him if he hadn't improved, and instead fallen back into the sissy-like ways of flaking every game. I mean yeah I get you're trying to make the obvious connection that he used to be Kondi, but I think that aspect of the title should already be understood to anyone who knows him. Instead of another that's-the-joke.jpg title I think we should be looking for a title that illustrates his determination to change for the better.

If you want something that'll make you laugh quietly to yourself, at least consider something more subtle. Like how

Redeeming Replacement

or

/replace in

will remind us of how he no longer flakes from games.

[UberNinja]

2nd

[Tierce]

he no longer flakes from games

These links beg to differ.

[UberNinja]

Always a buzzkill eh? ^

Still, he's come a long way.

[redFF]

Fairly sure he made a new account to escape the Kondi name, so referencing it in a title probably wouldn't appeal to him.

Also yeah what Tierce said so it isn't even really true.

[killerjester]

Eh he's replaced out of 4 recently but it felt like he had a passable excuse for 3 of them. If there's any real reason to doubt that he deserves the title it's probably due to his flaking from Newbie 1288, which I'm sure you're quite fond of Tierce. I don't think that behavior is beard-worthy, nor does it have any place in Newbie games. So yea, my opinion is to hold off on Klick's title and perhaps look at possibilities in a month or two.

[TheButtonmen]

Uberninja is getting a 48 hour temp ban from this sub-forum.

Unlike Oman I'm not willing to deal with the same shit month after month. This thread isn't for personal pissing matches, shape up or get out.

[TheButtonmen]

That being said this last page has been fantastic! If you ever want to know what a good nomination and title discussion look like KillerJester, Oversoul and Llamadash are all providing great examples.
