Dance of the Title Fairy: Accepting Applications

4th Self-Evident

I don't really like Self-Explanatory.

I don't think shitposting should particularly be encouraged or rewarded.

I personally don't have a problem with shitposting, but it's not some unique feat. All of 4chan should be praised if that was the case.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Spoiler:

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Coup d'etat.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Yeah you're striking an awfully similar pose buddy...

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Happy scumday ye.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Hmm, how about something like

You're Locked In With Me

("I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me" - reference from the movie scene for those who don't know).

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Ehh, I feel like if the aren't we all meme wasn't being used incorrectly at times it would be more witty and funny.

The trick to a charming shtick is using it in moderation and applying it cleverly.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

There should be a council of title fairies. Like around 3-5.

People can nominate titles and discuss for/against, but no nths and stuff. Then the mysterious council of title fairies meets on a day to discuss a nominated title, and then they hold a secret vote, with majority yes/no passing or failing the nomination.

This is only half a troll idea too!

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

But then it would just be pay2win which creates a toxic atmosphere.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Hi I'll take

3spooky5me

for my april fools joke as a level up and even more spookiness from my location.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

i think everything is up to date now

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Sheesh, people need to take a breather. If it was all in jest, just let things spontaneously happen and enjoy the process.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Not really sure what's troll and not anymore...

BUT I do think part of the fun of pranks/jokes is that it is not being completely revealed or transparent.

Dw much about if people got uptight it really was no biggie. There is MUCH bigger things to worry about than losing your shit over how titles are done anyway.

Not sure if this is really a big experiment by psyche and we are all guinea pigs, but cogito ergo sum...

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Actually this gave it away though long ago -

why not cut out the middle man and let each user change their own title?

system is centralized
likes of kison et al have said it would be very hard to implement

Because it's actually not that hard to implement I believe. A bunch of other sites just have it as an option in control panel, and it even says it in the OP you wrote...

Lots of sites keep titles constrained like this, or let users choose their own titles based on their own whims.

You gotta give more convincing answers man!

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Uhh I thought this was supposed to be an entertaining little april fools thing that was meant to have fun with the community with weird titles but then it just turned into a whoring contest....

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Yeah fun things never work out for the better

I hope this is a lesson we can all apply to our lives moving forward

Idk reddit did /r/place which was p neat and brought community together and then they closed it off like 2 days after the 1st before it deteriorated. I think the trick is to end something at the high-point before it goes down instead of trying to chase that high.

It's like Naruto Boruto whatever they're still trying to milk it with every year vs Cowboy Bebop ending.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Is the better alternative to "sad and lonely" "entertained by shitposts and spam"?

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Don't lump doot in with salmon KK

Why? They're both things that're never going to happen

Aren't we all?

Do you (plural you) understand how the "aren't we all" meme is supposed to be used or no?

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Do you (plural you) understand how the "aren't we all" meme is supposed to be used or no?

Honestly, not at all

Here is a good example:


Notice it's supposed to make sense with the thing you're replying to. Not:

"They're both things that are never going to happen"
"Aren't we all [never going to happen]"

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Psyche why are you using Shadow1psc's avatar :O

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Nth Showtime!

That was very well done by EP.

"It's Showtime!" would also sound good imo.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Hmm, how about

It's Showtime!

for EP? They use that color a lot and it looks flashy and fitting for the title and the context.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

I really like the way the title describes Alisae and I think it's fitting for Alisae, but I think it's really hard to roll off the tongue and doesn't have that ~pizzazz~. I feel like it just needs a little change while keeping the concept/idea the same to look super good.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

The Hero Appears!

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Yeah I think I like anything that has "hero" incorporated in it rather than "anti-bullying". Because hero implies protector of the weak and anti-bullying + sounds better and cooler.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Hmm in Ping Pong The Animation though Peco stops people from bullying Smile and became a "hero" in Smile's eyes. A hero doesn't really need to be this grandeur evil-slaying superman.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Nth Bright Knight

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Anti-nom someone does no deserve a title for being an obnoxious person.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

It's -1!

But not really it's way to express dissatisfaction with a title nom you don't feel is deserved or good for whatever reason.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

psyche is joking.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

I think a better way to assess it is to look at previous title threads. I believe when I was looking last month out of curiosity and stats nerd, you had about equal number approved in your first 3 months but the amount of pages was much more. Probably partly because SKrew TBM etc took a much harsher stance against shitposting and both deleted off-topic posts and timed out people who were spamming.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Oh I still have part of it on notepad, SKrew had 9 and TBM had 6 approved first 3 months. I don't think I ever finished looking at the rest because I got lazy or distracted. But you have 7 so you're gucci dw.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

I gotta admit Survivor is a super lame title.

Why is the best title 5000-10000 posts.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

0 posts – Watcher
1 post – Ninja
2 posts – Townie
100 posts – Goon
1000 posts – Mafia Scum
5000 posts – Jack of All Trades
10000 posts - Survivor

Watcher is fine
Ninja is good
Townie is really bad
Goon is terrible
Mafia Scum really the name of the site how original
Jack of all trades is super cool!!
Then survivor really...

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Nth Of The One

I enjoy Wisdom's playstyle, it's p fun and a big part of his personality on site.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Wait is it too late to Nth the ffery title nom.

I Nth it in spirit, it's really good and ffery's playstyle is p distinguishable.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

I missed the page 100 hype :C

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Jesus only promised to come a second time though.

Plus I love mastina but I really don't think a name reference is necessarily a good one when she has so many other good or unique qualities.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Rawr completely makes sense to rc but it's such an inside thing no one will get it I think.

But things like "Khan Man" was passed for him claiming miller day 1 in one game.
Amrun had the title "Killed the Radio Star" for finding out about the youtube embed link tag before it was publicly announced.
Etc etc.

"Obscure" title = bad title is a bad argument to make.

Now whether rawr is a good title or not idk I'm not defending or against it. But people sometimes try to bring up the obscure/inside thing argument and it's baffling because some titles are supposed to be inside things, that's like... the intricacy and suitability of the title.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

no

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Hmmm.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

stop

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Or idk, just stop having it completely

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Like most perma banned people obv didn't care enough about the site to respect it or others or w/e they got banned for why does it matter if they get a banned title why are you wasting thought on something that really doesn't matter.

If banned people didn't care enough about the site why do others care so much about what title they get and what it represents etc.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

How did a legit title nom for RC get shutdown harder than troll titles for banned users that won't care or won't matter.
