Snark Attack!

connotes the ironic zeal and/or fear that makes me like the title

seems minor to me. whatever SK wants on that one.

better w/o an exclamation mark

thnx

I'm with Psyche on this one. The exclamation makes it look like a surprise attack, which is a more effective attack.

Let's just let Skrew decide

No, much earlier. Rhoda, early 70s.

Carlton was the Doorman.

let me put it this way. he role played as Rick Santorum on the forums for MONTHS. and not stupidly. well.

yes, he's known for his snark.

I like no punctuation better on this one.

Amrun · Post Post #2185 (ISO) » Tue Aug 20, 2013 8:35 pm

perhaps i should add that i think no punctuation is better because his snark is usually deadpan.

Re Snake: Is there a preference to

I prefer I will Survive.

Ok here is my input on the Snakes title discussion. I don't like it, it seems really forced to me and happened as soon as he got his 3rd win. But if we are talking about Survivor, Yes he has the most wins. But I know there are people like me that Count Big Brother Wins with Survivor wins, which means there is actually someone that has more wins than Snakes does.

And plus two of those games were very contentious. Namely Mario Bros Survivor and Arkham Asylum. In Arkham Asylum had it gone the Traditional Survivor of F3 or F2. Snakes was the very next boot according to the others. Plus We wont even get started on Mario Bros. And Yes there are multiple people that agree with me on this stance.

A win's a win, kdowns.

DeasVail · Post Post #2193 (ISO) » Fri Aug 23, 2013 10:27 am

Also, the 'survive' title relates more to survivor than big brother in my mind.

kdowns · Post Post #2194 (ISO) » Fri Aug 23, 2013 11:13 am

Still, you're not getting the point that this title is being forced.

Shiidaji · Post Post #2195 (ISO) » Fri Aug 23, 2013 12:07 pm

Forced? Really?

I'll write you essays about how your philosophy for 'contentious wins' is bogus, but this isn't the place for that. The titles were suggested for Snakes because it's what he's known for, a lot of people get it, and it has some MS-related history behind it, all things that would make it fitting.

That there's someone else that better fits the description is besides the point, suggest titles for them if necessary, but don't contest this one for that reason. Snakes is known for his Survivor performance, and the title is Survivor-related. That's also why Large MM games like Big Brother are completely unrelated.

kdowns · Post Post #2196 (ISO) » Fri Aug 23, 2013 12:53 pm

I'm sorry, When I hear, "I Will Survive" on a mafia forum I go straight to the Town Role of "Survivor". Which is why I think it is being forced in this case.

Mmmmm, I can taste the drama.

Suggest something better!

(Survivor's a 3P role)

In my opinion:

With a title you either go for the gravitas effect or something rather amusing that makes you chuckle. This is neither a particularly witty one nor resonant enough for something like "soul survivor." Instead it's in this awkward halfway house between both islands were it does come across as half-baked and fails to either sufficiently credit a triple winner or provide an excellent in-joke ("Life and soul of the third party" or "It's pronounced Xalxe" are perfect examples of this).

I do agree Snakes deserves a title, but those are my thoughts on the current suggestion(s)
