Yet Another Dance of the Title Fairy: Change Up

[InflatablePie]

(Not that this is going to come as a complete shock but) I agree with esurio.

Except when I don't.

Of course, the whole on-site/off-site title argument has come up a million times in the Fairythreads and I'm pretty sure a very vocal group of people (or in some cases, iirc, the Fairy himself) has turned down the suggestions to overwrite the rule so I'm not sure if it's even worth putting in the effort to protest, tbqh. Also I can't be completely not-biased in said argument, obviously.

p.s. - the title being nominated for singer was terrible, to be fair.

"HUGS ♥" is her thing, like GODDAMMIT is kdowns's thing.

"HUGS ♥" is Rach's thing like "except when I do/it does/etc" is my thing, except she says it more. Better comparison.

I'd prefer the title with the heart but meh. I dunno, despite UT's love for simplicity I think we can definitely find something better for Rach's title.That might just be me.

[InflatablePie]

there're lots of people who have defining characteristics in threads or as a part of their online persona ("schtick", if you will), but you don't see them getting nommed or titled unless it's something positive and constructive to the site

Alright by the power vested in me by farcical aquatic rituals, the number J and Oman I hereby give RachMarie the title of

HUGS ♥

!

[InflatablePie]

hugs are positive and constructive to the site

not sure how serious this was due to the lowercase and lack of punctuation which I usually use when I am joking or being condescending

I have no issues with Rach or her getting a title, but if she gets one for saying the same thing in most of her posts whereas we're not giving Tazaro a title despite

saying the same thing

posting the same pics in most of his posts, I think that's kind of a double standard

I mean I have Taz on my ignore list but I still support his title because posting pics is his thing, the title is funny, and I can link the two together quite easily

Please explain to me the difference. If I came up with a good joke for an izak title based off of the fact that he was British, it would encapsulate the most important parts of the title that I see argued:

1) It has a joke in it
2) I think of izak when I think of 'British Scummers'
3) He posts enough to be recognized

honestly if izak was the first person MOST PEOPLE think of when they think of British Scummers, I'd be okay with that title too. the difference is that in your scenario it's just you thinking a title for a scummer is good whereas there's more support for Tazaro's. how many good titles have been shot down because only a few people get it (although, similarly, some have been approved, although those are usually the older titles).

nth Ridiculously Photogenic for Tazaro

since I hadn't yet.

[InflatablePie]

I think of Quag and Shea way sooner for FWAN. Or DP. Or Korts and his poetry readings.Or the lady who rides horses. And several other people who have posted actually

interesting

pictures of themselves in various situations or locations, but whose exact username escapes me right now.

I also agree with this.

However, while Taz isn't the first person I think of when I think of FWAN, FWAN is the first thing I think about when I think of Tazaro.

[InflatablePie]

And are we really titling Tazaro for annoying half of the scummer population? Really?

the fact that the picspam is annoying is merely coincidental.

Rach says HUGS a lot, I got my title shot down by Buttons only/mostly because I didn't say "except when..." frequently enough, so the fact that he's getting nommed for saying/doing something a lot shouldn't be an issue since there's been precedents and exceptions before. [edit] Majiffy got Go With The Flow for posting flowcharts everywhere, yeah?

nth Duckface

as well, I could go either way on that.

[InflatablePie]

Speaking of Hercules,

Get Up On The Hydra's Back

could be a decent one maybe? I'm entirely too lazy to look up her winrate with hydras (or if she's 'town leader'-esque), but if it's high:
- Hydra reference
- to put someone on their back = to carry = to be the sole reason for victory (basically)
- meme reference

[edit] I was thinking of this before catching up on the thread and zor provided the best segue <_<

[InflatablePie]

Wouldn't Buttons run into the problem of having to title every new hydra she makes? I can see that getting tedious, although I like the spirit of the idea.

[InflatablePie]

^I can't believe that's not already a thing actually.

2nd Frog

[InflatablePie]

what flay and quadz said.

[InflatablePie]

comparing someone's playstyle to a random episode of a show when that person's playstyle is comparing posts to other posts from random mafia games makes the title work on multiple levels.

nth Bert

although it's better if Bert is a Trekkie. not as good otherwise.

counter-nom

Metaphorically Speaking

for Bert

[InflatablePie]

I like SBMW out of that list, but something doesn't quite sound right with that, IMO.

Why not keep it something simple, like

Verbose

? It definitely defines mastin (and is the one user I'd think of in regards to the word) and the shortness of the title paired with the reasoning for the title is slightly amusing.

If we were willing to nominate him for a comically long title about his verboseness, why not go the other direction and keep it short?

[InflatablePie]

If tans gets a title, I'd like to put forward ideas relating to him being the MS videogame Santa.

So many times I've seen him post in the VG thread "oops I bought a 4-pack, who wants games?" or "PM me with a game you want and I'll buy it" or "first person to guess this gets an expensive game". He's randomly messaged me on FB saying "hey do you want this game" and I've seen multiple people post "so tans just got me X". (I could try and find examples for all of these but I'm lazy.)

Not even lately, he's been doing it for a

while

, too.

I'd rather find something like that than give him a title based off recent negativity, although if you can find a title that pokes fun at that at the same time, by all means.

[InflatablePie]

Prepare for

(Posting)

Trouble

?

[InflatablePie]

It's that he asked for a title and it was so specific and weird: The Blue Blur. Which is kind of funny on its own,

but funnier still when reversed

and yet makes almost as much sense.

nominate Metal Sonic for Blur Blue The

[InflatablePie]

nominate Malakittens

for

Just a Phrase

We are totally no lynching this

day phrase

. I'm totally just kidding. ;D

Anyways for real. No lynching does more harm than it does good. It gives information for town to use in the future.

Do you realize you have been auto-correcting the word

phase

for a year and a half? Search your posts site-wide for "day phrase"

was going to nominate her earlier, but we were in an ongoing game when I found this (and then searched her posts for "day phrase" and "phrase"), wanted to play it safe.

also if the title makes her stop auto-correcting it's a self-fulfilling prophecy

this title is probably terrible

[InflatablePie]

5th

the Reck re-nom

[InflatablePie]

GD is my Bestman

or

GD is my Best Man

?

The first pays better tribute to the old title but the second is more 'technically correct'. thought I'd throw this out there.

I like the former due to the old title similarity but it both looks weird with the space and without to me. maybe I'm just weird.

[InflatablePie]

House of Lies

?

[InflatablePie]

looks okay to me

(I forget what font we use but it's close enough)

[InflatablePie]

@quadz: I'm going to be the person to bring up Khan Man because someone always does

the tl;dr of the thread was a house-related hypothetical situation. to quote while still keeping things vague because speakeasy - "What's great is that there is literally ONE person in this thread who gets it, and everyone else only thinks they do."

the thread isn't actually ABOUT a house, therefore it could be considered a 'house of lies', the username pun/relevance just makes it fit better.

[InflatablePie]

nominate

N

for

titled

[InflatablePie]

the argument could be made that N is entitled to a title given his popularity and millions of pun options and the fact that N has been nommed for a million titles makes the idea of a "title" title more funny.

hence "N, titled".

[InflatablePie]

if we were going full username pun,

50 Sheets

(of GreyICE) sounds better to me, personally.

but I'm gonna take the resident grump baton from esurio and anti-nom the GreyICE title.

I mean if I was into chubby chicks you wouldn't nominate me for

Hot Pie

or something like that, it'd be a shitty title.

I swear to god

there's probably a better way to word that, I just don't see the appeal to giving titles based off of [username pun] + [sexual kink].

[InflatablePie]

nominate Psyche for

boring
