Dance of the Title Thread: Resurgence in wild?

[CreativeMod1]

We could maybe emphasize the pun with an Excel-lence if people aren't noticing it.

I like that it also helps for people who don't know what it's for

[mastina]

(title given but without the best social game banner--I'll check if that's a current banner that I need to readd or a past banner that needed to be removed anyway)

[xofelf]

It's definitely from last year so you would have had to take it down anyways <3

[CreativeMod1]

Has it really been that long :O haha

[CreativeMod1]

Also, thank you so much!!!

Nominate Awoo for Killer A.I.

Awoo's playstyle is aggressive, manipulative and calculated. He tends to portray himself as a Survivor supervillain in confessionals.

In common LSG lingo, a "gamebot" is the epitome of someone who is not there to make friends and really prioritizes strategy over any kind of sentimentality. Awoo can be charming, but it is often a means to an end to lead into in-depth strategic conversations. He has both described himself as being a gamebot and will seek out connections with players who have gamebot tendencies.

This title proposal also references a very unique tactic Awoo once used. He programmed a Discord bot to send pre-written messages to players so that he could still have a strategic influence on the game while being on vacation.

Spoiler: More detail

• As a finalist in his second-ever game, he outright admitted to the jury that he calculatingly used humor to charm people and then
  enjoyed
  systematically turning his allies against each other and backstabbing them. Generally, finalists explain their acts of betrayal in a way that expresses some level of guilt, remorse, or mixed feelings. Awoo's AI, otoh, was only programmed to get him to the end at all costs
  
• In future games, he continued to hone his craft of sowing distrust and developing backup plans to be able to eliminate any given player.
  
• In Survivor: Three Houses, he confessed: "I live in constant agony every minute that the game is not completely under my control."
  
• While most of the aforementioned Discord bot's messages were about Awoo's vacation itinerary and sent to anyone who opted in, Awoo considered all of that to be a front. The real reason it was created was to give Silverclaw a short notice heads up that a blindside was going to happen.

eta: There's not any specific wordplay going on with Killer, so Diabolical A.I. or anything on a similar theme with different wording probably also works

2nd.

[Korina]

Nth

[Ariel]

(Still want more discussion on the Mala ones.)

well, do you like Fosters Mewbies more than Mewbie Fosterer? :b I at least don't really have much to add other than that I disagree with the sentiment that 9+ Lives would fit equally well as a title for other people on the site.

[Noraa]

Shadoweh should be nommed for DESMOS. oml oml oml lemme think about that i might want to suggest it

Vacation Bot was absolutely amazing and also incredibly frustrating.

[mastina]

(I have received some concern about the Awoo title nomination, if you wish for details then PM me)

[Silverclaw]

Unless the concerns are private by nature I don't see why they shouldn't be posted anonymously or paraphrased in some way. Wouldn't it be fair to the nominator (and the others who want to see a title happen) without having to send 10 or more PMs?

If the concerns

are

private then we shouldn't be handing them out by PM either.

[mastina]

They are in fact fairly private.

[the worst]

I'm inclined to trust that mastina is right to mininise the number of people who are aware and that it doesn't need to be public.

[the worst]

Also Ariel your nomination chain lately has been incredible. I'm surprised that someone can nominate such quantity of well-considered, cool titles. Thank you.

Okay then but if it's private why are we handing it out at all?

Nominate Skelda for Zee Retiree

Nominate Skelda for Fictive Retirement

Between late 2016 and mid-2018, Skelda played in most of the anonymous LSGs that were ever in signups. He's stayed around the community to spectate or chat about games while claiming to be in retirement. That only lasted a year until he showed up as old man character Ulysses in Survivor: Red, Purple, Green and won his first game. Again, he stuck around after while insisting he's in retirement. Less than a year later, he returned as the retired detective Hercule Poirot in Survivor PD and not only won, but also earned the second best LSG Character Poll placing of all time for an incredibly convincing portrayal. Many people would not necessarily consider playing once a year to be retirement, but Skelda's pattern of insisting that he is in tandem with his best performances being "coming out of retirement" while portraying older men make this uniquely fitting for Skelda. Zee Retiree is the direct Poirot-speak version, and Fictive Retirement is a play on "active retirement."

Nominate Skelda for Decorum Cannibale

Skelda is known on the site for enjoying debate, musical theater (MS Idol Season 2 finalist!), and also grammar, which influences how this title nomination was framed. He is infamous for PMing multiple people to discuss cannibalism, earning that character a reputation as being a cannibal. Most people stick to safer topics when trying to make allies in social games.

Spoiler: MS Discord server

[8:22 PM] Skelda: People like having weird random conversations in LSGs though. I think you're a strong conversationalist which is why I think you'd like it
[8:22 PM] xofelf: Skelda: Mr. Let's Just Talk About Casual Cannibalism
[8:23 PM] Skelda: You literally can talk about anything
[8:23 PM] Skelda: And that was one time Xof!
[8:23 PM] xofelf: was it? hm
[8:24 PM] Skelda: Maybe a few times one game
[8:24 PM] Skelda: Then it became identifying for me to mention it hahaha
