I like both of these.

Anti-nom

Silver-tongued or a variant of it. It's not about schadd_, he's splendid. The problem is that it's too nonspecific and vanilla. We've shot down those exact same titles before and should continue to do so. Anything that would apply reasonably to 25%+ of the userbase is a bad title.

[Isis]

I share the sentiment that something on the theme of multiple identities is good for MariaR but that individual objections to individual suggestions are valid.
Has anyone tried something with the word alias?
I'd rather she didn't get a title with a heavy association with scum a preference I suspect she would share, but disguising oneself has natural associations

I think this is a narrow critique of the title concept.
schadd would be the first name to come to mind in terms of someone inventing words.
also think he expresses his ideas with wording that's very obviously distinct/notable.

and the mischief angle too

Nominate Ariel for edited 449 times in total. I thought this was one of the best event titles. The specific number is because that's how many times the OP of the original Identity thread was edited, but the spirit of the title also captures the who-knows-how-many edits Ariel has made to the wiki. Alternatively, nominate Ariel for Too Sparkly.

am i the only one who associates edits with springlullaby

[mastina]

(an alternative title that was considered by me and my dedicated team of volunteers was simply

mystery box

so i feel compelled to submit it for consideration as well)

I mean this is what I was thinking of when you submitted the silver-tongue submissions anyway due to the Myster Box being of SILVER.
(But, more discussion needed here, I'm inclined to think it's not the best.)

so for the April event Zaphkael had the title "Ghost Writer." Zaphkael won Paperback Writer in 2017 and has done very in-depth written flavor for other mafia games. Also runs Fiction Rumble in GD and has been the "champion" for it multiple times. So I do think Zaph has a notable association with writing on mafiascum.net.

I'm a sucker for roles that don't have an obvious use or don't have an obviously optimal way of using them, but that can be used creatively. The neighborizers, your role, the Aeon factional abilities and even a masonry all fit this philosophy of mine, and if someone actually uses them creatively, it makes me a very happy mod. Your play was one of those things!

Based on this modding philosophy, I am going to throw out

Little Did I Know

as a title nom (trope reference)

Bumping this b/c Zaph didn't keep Ghost Writer, which I think sounded cool but am unsure how his writing credentials onsite relate to ghosts or ghost writing.

Little Did I Know got a few nths but not 5. The tl;dr idea behind it is that it's a writing/narration trope that ties into how he approaches modding. Going to suggest

Little Did They Know

this time as it being in third person might make more sense.

I really really like Little Did They Know.

Anyone want to present any counterargument?

Per my statement in the event thread, I'm going to give this

24 hours

for anyone to present a compelling argument for why this shouldn't be given, because this is an explanation that I can get behind:
(expired on 2020-06-29 04:25:37)
Lacking any such counterargument, will re-give that title.

nth medium pharma

for Equinox

Since this title didn't get the support needed during the event, not even CLOSE to getting the support needed during the event by my count:
Can we get a formal writeup of this nomination, explanation for it, etc.? And normal discussion about it. (I'll count the presented nths for it as support for it, but I want this done before I move forward with it.)

[PJ.]

i don't get the schadd noms but all I know is that I hear the words "whatever, bro" in schadds voice.

schadd_: a little chaotic, cool music thread, a good mod of interesting setups including his mystery box series

pandora's jukebox

?

or is that trying to push so many ideas together that it becomes a bit incoherent? hmm...

Nth

[Aristophanes]

This is fantastic!

And schadd hosts soooo many Song Games it's crazy.

Nth pandora's jukebox_

(Yes, with the underscore)

[Cheetory6]

nth jukebox

but also consider pukebox so that we can also acknowledge schadd's extended service as a site chat mod

[Aristophanes]

I both love and hate that...

Nth?

[vonflare]

nth pukebox

[Nahdia]

pukebox feels a little antagonistic to me. idk, i certainly wouldnt like to have that title.

[Aristophanes]

Yeah, my Nth kinda depends on if schadd wants that aspect added to it.

I think jukebox is fine and is what I would choose personally

[Errantparabola]

pandora's pukebox is like enormously better to me BUT both are good. nth both

[Errantparabola]

the alliteration is like so dope

[Nahdia]

i mean it's good but pukebox kind of loses the musical element of it though. you wouldnt know just looking at it that it's a pun on jukebox without the context of this thread, i don't think.

[Nahdia]

also again pukebox is like... a thing i would call a person i hate. but i guess if schadd likes it, that doesn't matter.

[Zaphkael]

I'm on the same page as nahdia here: it's funny and I get it, but it's also just.... pukebox? If schadd prefers it, power to him, but I think I prefer jukebox.

[Cheetory6]

maybe like
idk get better preferences?!? have you ever considered that?!?!??

[Cheetory6]

I personally think it's funny that it's kind of offputting and that it's maybe even appropriate that it's not immediately obvious at a first glance.
