Congrats on the promotion SK. I can think of no better Title Fairy (sorry Buttons, you were good, but...)

I'm with you, Psyche.

I have no idea what the kayak thing is about. It's not really funny/interesting on it's own.

SleepyKrew is a rubber stamp laissez faire fairy.

rabble rabble rabble rabble

[Kublai Khan]

Ftr, I wasn't actually being serious when I suggested that the Title Fairy should be run like the Supreme Court of the United States

You're right. We need to go full on direct democracy with this.

[Kublai Khan]

if we execute skrew that'll show them we mean business

That awkward moment where I want to damn the man, but realize I am also the man.

[Kublai Khan]

give cheerygod his title back

The title is gone?

Screw you SK! How dare you give in to our demands?! What kind of title fairy are you??

[Kublai Khan]

Inside jokes aren't really cool as titles

Yes, avatar observances and username puns are the way to go.

[Kublai Khan]

Seriously though, there's nothing wrong with inside jokes. Hell, the majority of titles are inside jokes.

Kayak is fine for cheery

[Kublai Khan]

Inside jokes aren't really cool as titles

Yes, avatar observances and username puns are the way to go.

Har Har?

Obv.

Hell, the majority of titles are inside jokes.

I'm pretty sure

all

titles are inside jokes.

SK,

As another serious aside. I think your populist approach (like Button's populist approach before you) is wrong. It's all "discussion periods" this and "x number of nominations" that. Booooooriiiiinnnggg. This thread is about titles of all things. Titles! Effin' bits of text under people's names.

You only need two rules:

• Does the recipient approve of it?
  
• Does the title fairy approve of it?

That's it. Nothing else. Everything is at your discretion. You've got good taste and are expected to employ it for the good of the site. Everyone else can bitch, moan, bribe, threaten, throw hissy fits, etc. It doesn't matter. You're the motherplucking title-fairy and you don't answer to anyone*.

(* - Except mith, zor, & thesp)

[Kublai Khan]

Everyone else can bitch, moan, bribe, threaten, throw hissy fits, etc. It doesn't matter.

How can you be so short-sighted? What's even the point of having this titling process instead of others if everyone else is bitching and moaning over it? Whether anything happening in this and related threads are worthwhile depends almost totally on whether it makes community happier or not.

Because we trust in the title fairy.

Also because people who are unhappy that they can't control what's under other people's names aren't worth listening to.

Of course, SK doesnt have to listen to me at all. He can do things your way if he wants.

[Kublai Khan]

It's all about ethics in title fairying.

[Kublai Khan]

All this talk about fat makes me want to:

Nominate

Jake From State Farm

for

I'm sure something funnier could come up but, man, that Jake.

it's mediocre

That what you get when titles are are run through audience testing to maximize participation.

Rule us with an iron fist, SK.

[Kublai Khan]

hahahahaha that is the greatest thing!

[Kublai Khan]

Psyche, do you ever actually have any good title suggestions, or do you just come to this thread to shit on everything?

[Kublai Khan]

That is a digimon

Yeah, Ash Ketchum can catch'em on the mariokart track after battling Ace Attorney.

[Kublai Khan]

I think SK should put a "in vino veritas" rule to the OP. All titling should be done while inebriated. That way it's either be poignantly truthful or hilariously bad.

[Kublai Khan]

Zzzz..

Remember when title fairies purged non-title related convos? pepperidge farm remembers.

[Kublai Khan]

I thoroughly agree with esurio.

Except about almond milk. That stuff is rank.

I mean, fun/pun neither of them actually fit at all? Its one 4 post exchange in a nonpublic thread?

Dude.. He's a GD mod. Policing fun is in the job description.

Pun police is dumb.

[Kublai Khan]

Dude there's a ton of GD mods.

Pff. Name one other than BPC. I can't.

[Kublai Khan]

Ugh. Psyche's behavior in this thread is really obnoxious.

The coup has been canceled.

Awww.........

I don't think you know how public image works

Do you?

[Kublai Khan]

For what it's worth, I took it as an order rather than a Regular User Suggestion.
(and my interpretation is the only one that matters)

How come my orders were interpreted as a regular user contribution (and subsequently and rightly ignored)? Are you a hue-ist, SK?

Shocking abuse of authority.

Heckuva job, Sleepy.

[Kublai Khan]

Just looked at the recently approved title's. Is Metal Sonic a Sun Tzu alt or something?

Lazy.

http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.ph ... 1#p6940381

[Kublai Khan]

Empking! That's the other one.

As far as I know, neither of those two is actually an alt.

Empking is an alt of Empking's Alt. obvobv

[Kublai Khan]

There already is one. (though out of date).

[Kublai Khan]

I feel that Kayak Moment only fits N currently due to his scummy, I don't think it will work once new summits go out.

Summon the

[Kublai Khan]

Honestly I don't like this one or the previous two. I feel like events in a single game can't really define someone in a way that merits a title. I think they'd be better as memorable moment scummie noms.

Ugh. I hate that chestnut. Most titles are just remembering something funny that happened one time, not "this defines them as a person".

[Kublai Khan]

Sun Tzu or Orange in Sharp Contrast?

because I don't like his new title so if OiSC was based off one game I'm gonna feel stupid

"Orange in Sharp Contrast" was because Metal Sonic popped in and said "Hey a title thread, I want my title to be 'Blue Blur'". So it was funny shenanigans to give him the exact opposite.

Because funny shenanigans are what titling is supposed to be about. Damnit. *storms off in a huff*.

[Kublai Khan]

laissez-fairy

[Kublai Khan]

I'm not sure why I reduced it to three months instead of getting rid of it entirely. Already broke it by giving Persivul his title, and I don't see the harm in just having no minimum time onsite.

I think 3 months is a good idea.

Otherwise you get titles like "Bullied" for YamiChan. A little time onsite is a good thing.

[Kublai Khan]

i feel like a lot of the older ones had more thought put into them. they truly "fit" the person, most of the time.

No.... No, that never really happened. Titles that have been workshopped for weeks to "fit" a person are generally horrible.

If a person can be summed up by a title, then they aren't someone worth titling.

[Kublai Khan]

Woah. Chesskid and KMD's titles are awesome.

Also because usually trolls just call their trolling "social experiments" as an excuse.

I am not a troll.

Just what a troll would say.

[Kublai Khan]

I'm so sad that Psyche won't accept SaDOS as his title.

Psyche has had so many good noms that I don't try anymore.

[Kublai Khan]

Wow SK thanks for the great new title!

[Kublai Khan]

np buddy!

No cake for you.

Nominate Psyche ->

Drake

[Kublai Khan]

Oh man, I want to start an argument about how whether something is considered "good" or not is subjective, and that assuming you have the power of objectivity in the matter is fallacious, as it is am impossible stance to take, since your objectivity in what is "good" is based on your own subjectivity. but that would be a ridiculous thing to do so I think I'll refrain from that.

To avoid the ridiculousness of it all, we appointed someone to be the subjective standard-bearer to determine what is good and what is not.

That person is SleepyKrew.

We failed to avoid the ridiculousness.

[Kublai Khan]

Hey SK,

You know that box in the bottom right corner? You can clean up this thread. Ask me how.

Nominate Psyche ->

Sorry (not sorry)

[Kublai Khan]

You could keep it up anyway, it's not like he's accept

[Kublai Khan]

Except it's been established that the search feature simply refuses to find the word sorry (it's even in one of his nominated apologies).

Except that it's through him in which that strange glitch(?) was noticed. Which is a notable event and therefore worthy of titling. The fact that his over-apologizing led to the noticeability of it is an ironic occurrence.

Precedent set in

Amrun v. Fairy

&

Titus v. Fairy

, m'lord.

[Kublai Khan]

Sample size = 1 game?

Who the hell gets a title based on what happened in one game? What's next... username puns at the same time?

[Kublai Khan]

Hello everyone! I can confirm that the rumors are trumors and I am the new Title Fairy. I'm currently in the middle of reading this thread all the way through as a sort of case precedent, as well as getting filled in on all the devices in the Title Fairy toolbelt, but once I'm finished I'll have a brand new Title Fairy thread up by the end of today!

You have to read not only this Title Fairy thread, but every Title Fairy thread.

Then disregard everything and do whatever you want.

[Kublai Khan]

This is how it lived. That's why he resigned.

We let SleepyKrew down. Sorry, SleepyKrew.

[Kublai Khan]

Rule us with an iron fist, SK.

I tried warning SK that we are a bunch of louts.
