Same game people are nominating him for above. If you've never played Duck Duck Goose it may not make any sense to you, but the game is all about dodging a bullet as long as possible...Andycyca wrote:Link, Mr. Flay?Retired as of October 2014.-

Woot, my first post (that I can remember) in the title fairy thread.
So, I think lightning rod (CDK) and Informant (peers) both have problems.
lightning rod, to my knowledge, refers to a role in which all night actions are directed to that player. Understandably, the humor is that this is what happened to CDK in a game, without having that role. I'd argue though, that this is not a very rare thing in the first place. Since this is only an isolated incident as well, I think it's overall too weak, and not very humorous in the first place.
Informant again makes sense, but it doesn't strike me as very humorous or even personal. Many players can (and probably have) acted in informing type roles. This title could even be mistaken as him being a great cop or such. Overall I think it too misleading and not personal or humorous enough.
Sorry to shoot down these, but I think quality of titles is important, and these just aren't up to par.-

lol, cute, but I am gay, so I'd have to take some offense to that.
I think "crosskiller" is a decent start to a title, but again, there is a problem with the simplicity of it. It only counts for the 1 game, and even that instance wasn't too crazy. Something like "rouge agent" or "doublecrosser" seems more suitable in my opinion.
Negative Nancy is humorous I suppose, but is only from this very small and non memorable moment. If I did/do continue to do so, I would say it has some promise (and I do plan to, as titles are one of my favorite little tidbits on this site, but I hope more of comments can be critical but positive as well). I think the "Nancy" part is a double-edged sword, unfortunately used as a derogatory word for gay men, but works given this context. I personally wouldn't mind it, but I think it could be interpreted too badly.-

overreaction? I don't understand... because I took it seriously maybe, and it was an intended joke? I'm horribly bad at catching jokes in the first place, so if that's true, oh well I guess, no harm done.Oman wrote:

or red agent, like commie agent, like startk?Tamuz is the expression of the alienated, of the ambitious, of the dispossessed.-
