I remember at the Reckoning, quadz and I discussed the possibility of titling noraaa with anoraaable. Was that suggestion ever made? Was the idea nixed?

other than a play on adorable, is there a reason for this? Brandi got Awwtist because she frequently posts cute things and draws cute things. I never really got that that was noraaa's "thing" so to speak.

Well, it definitely is in person.

The problem with the title is therefore that in-person scummer stuff isn't "good enough" for a title as things stand currently. :|

Fair enough.

No, or if so as part of the joke you stated that you would talk to Buttons. But I seem to remember that we had both consumed a large portion of alcohol, so maybe you realized that it wasn't a good idea when you sobered up, and I didn't.

Wasn't noraaa in the military? Maybe something like
Sgt. Adoraaable
? OK that one's tacky, but IDEAS, people!

Not sure if this is a typo, but Anoraaable is better than Adoraaable I think.

As much as I like noraaa, and also think she's adorable, I don't think being in the military is even in the top 5 things I'd think of when I think of her.
Glork and quadz08 are my favorite.

noraaa is a wonderful person, but I don't necessarily find her super-kind? Like she stands up for what she believes in very strongly, but it's not really Brandiesque "kind."

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.

Thank you, Tierce, for saying what I was thinking but wording it better than I would have.

I have had one conversation with tbm about it, which was a bit inbetween things. It probably wasn't the clearest conversation ever, so a quick summary of what I've tried to say then.

I am happy people nominated me. I understand the reference and it's a cool one, I like it. And since I'm not good with titles, I wouldn't dare making suggestions, I rather trust on the judgement of others. I certainly trust the people who nommed and second this title. In short, I'd be happy with that title. If I'm a Frisian shoulder demon to you, then that's who I want to be!

Anyone got any compelling arguments about Daemon vs Demon for this title before I run with it?

(It looks cooler is an extremely compelling argument.)

Gotta agree with Tierce, but I'm a filthy pagan purist. Either is good.

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.

It might because it's comparatively short, but demon seems fairly pedestrian in this specific combination. Shoulder-Daemon is the cool option.

Parsing the nit-pick: "Many" does not mean "all". So there are some malevolent Daemons. Of which myko is one.

tehbuttonmen (11:38): Myk would you describe yourself as benevolent or malevolent?
themykonian (11:41): uhm, yeah, that's a hard question tbm
themykonian (11:41): for purposes of the title, malevolent is more fitting.

By the power invested in me by a farcical aquatic ceremony and my delusions of grandeur I hereby give Mykonian the title of
Frisian Shoulder-Demon
!
