Dance of the Title Fairy: Accepting Applications

[Ellibereth]

The rainbow text + spoilering is very important!

[nancy]

Nth.

Aslan is a meme and eir games are memes.

[Annadog40]

The counter nom was completely blank, it shouldn't be factored.

[PJ.]

I feel like you guys are just railroading in another bad Alisae title to replace the current bad Alisae title. Both titles are following pretty similar paths: same people running up the nth count, both based on a joke Alisae is running into the ground and hasn't been funny lately so it's probably not gonna hold lasting value, and both are not "perfect titles but good enough".

I feel like in 6 months we're gonna be getting the same song and dance to get Alisae a 3rd title.

Also, I'm not a title historian but aren't sleepo, Shea, and I the only people in site history with 2 titles? I feel that club should be more exclusive than "let's give this guy a second title because the title that we railroaded 6 months ago sucks now"

[Alisae]

Panzer what are your favorite titles?

[PJ.]

Jester
Snark Attack
Thirteenthly
Fifty Shades
Oh, Prozac
Princeton's Pride
Consigliere
GIFted
HoMoo
Mish Mash Mom

[Alisae]

Ok Panzer ty
I'ma look up the contexts for those later when I'm more awake because I'm interested

[Cheetory6]

and I dont get why you're fucking the system because you "don't feel like" looking into it.

You would have had so much fun when SK was title fairy.
Lol.

[PJ.]

Sleepo best fairy, fuck you

[Cheetory6]

I'm not disagreeing.
He just was also very intentionally obstructionist when he felt titles were bad in a way that I think Ginngie would have probably hated.
[And in a way that I personally loved]

[PJ.]

gotcha. but that's also the entire purpose of the title fairy

[Psyche]

and I dont get why you're fucking the system because you "don't feel like" looking into it.

Am not “fucking the system”, but rather trying to do my job. You have to understand, this is somebody who has already had a title until a few days ago. I went with the flow and gave Alisae the title because so many people earnestly supported it and I was afraid of receiving lowkey temper tantrumy posts like yours here in response. And the thing turned out to be so sucky it couldn’t even last six months without that consensus breaking down. Six month titles are

not

how this system is supposed to work and represent a failure on my part as well as on the community’s part to do its job to only give titles of lasting meaning and worth.

What I got from all that and even from the talk about the current nom is that there are so many people in this thread who throw out nths for iffy titles because of the person getting nominated for them, or because they don’t really care much about the system, or just because they have bad taste (would say that these are the people “fucking the system”) that just putting my own skepticism aside when a title does gets a lot of nths is bound to result in a lot of titles that I can’t readily defend even a few months down the line.

I’m *still* not handling these issues as dramatically as older title fairies, who’ve repeatedly completely stonewalled title noms they didn’t personally support. I’m just asking for more evidence that the title is not going to be deservedly abandoned by March ‘18 or something. If it’s so perfect, then getting a couple more nths shouldn’t be so hard. I mean, it seems like it already has. In sum, can you, like, cool it?

[Firebringer]

I think Bright Knight was good
Lolbalance no

[Psyche]

It’s got at least one implied counternom, even one of the nths has all but allowed that the title is bad in 3828, and I don’t know enough about Alisae to assess it myself. So I’m gonna

require two more nths

for the Alisae non before I do the work of looking at it closely.

I think its a good title.
I also believe it is comparatively better then a good chunk of the current titles that got nominated in this thread.

Like so many shit titles go through and then we randomly don't allow good titles for not being super perfect and unique.

I’m never gonna entertain the argument that because these other titles aren’t great, this one shouldn’t have to be either. All it can ever result in is more mediocre titles. If you think the community is not consistently holding every title to a high standard, speak up when bad titles start getting pushed through. Antinoms do a lot.

[Psyche]

I also dont get why you want to make a bot for this title fairy thing

It's like you dont actually like being the fairy my dude

You’ll understand once it’s ready, I think.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

I liked Bright Knight.

[Firebringer]

You’ll understand when you are older, child

[UC Voyager]

I thought the bot was more to help people come up with title ideas. Not do psyche's job. It isn't Psyche's job to help us cone up with titles. Some people have a harder time coming up with titles. Also, some people deserve a title, but we can't think of a good title for them.

[Psyche]

We technically shouldn’t clog up this thread with talk about the bot. I’ll explain my current plans in the ideas thread. It’s not a matter of work-aversion (making bots takes work); I think it’ll ultimately be more detailed and more disciplined/reliable with administrative and other title-related work than

any

conceivable scummer on this site could be (rather than just me). Once it’s ready, I can finally start running this subforum the way I’ve always wanted to.

Anyway, I’m

counting panzer’s recent posts as a counternom

too, so the

Alisae title needs one more nth

before I fold under public pressure.

[Wisdom]

nth lolbalance

[Nexus]

Counter-nom it.

[Firebringer]

Did you count my anti nom?

[Nexus]

As a mod I feel my counter-nth should count as 5.

[Firebringer]

People with titles should count double for anti noming

[Nexus]

So that puts the title nom at -11?

Edit: I can't Maths.
