Dance of the Title Thread: Resurgence in wild?

+1 to Splatoon Tetris!

Nominate PrivateI for The Real Friend

I have a few reasons for this:

1. Monty, while undoubtedly a suitable title, is bland and can be improved.

2. Monty's an incredibly friend individual, undoubtedly one of the most welcoming people I know of.

3. The real reason I decided to go for it - he more or less started a site meme of "What if the real [X] was the friends we made along the way?" and it's done it's fair share of spreading in its many forms across the site.

[Silverclaw]

Slight length concern, but that may be unfounded and I don't quite have the tools to check.

[Silverclaw]

Both great, I like friend a bit more than title but like, strong yes.

Basically this. I tried to post it earlier but got an SQL error.

[Silverclaw]

What a speech. What. a. speech.

Let's hit this illusion of "too soon" at it's source quickly.

Firstly, there is no time requirement for being on site to be titled. There used to be one (I think in one of Oman's title fairy threads? Or maybe it was TBM?) when the site was much smaller and insulated. I forget what the minimum time was exactly, but it was either three months or a year, and a year feels excessively long. If it was three months, Noraa's account is older than that.

Secondly, when is "long enough?" How do we define "long enough?" Is there a group consensus for when someone is ready to be titled based on time? Because if not then "too early" is an arbitrary and meaningless phrase at best.

Thirdly, every single time I've seen this pop up it's not used for people who may legitimately by very, very new, but instead used for people who are young and at least a little immature - we aren't titling based on maturity last I checked.

Fourthly, judging a title for someone else based on a title given to you years ago is a very odd way to say that the current suggestion for Noraa isn't fitting for it's intended user or could be improved.

[Silverclaw]

Don't get me wrong, I can see why you feel that way. You have every right to - but I also don't feel like it's an entirely valid argument. Ideally, we can divorce our past from decisions that don't inherently involve us, but that's not necessarily either possible or always a good idea.

Is there a specific reason that this title feel similar to you?

[Silverclaw]

anti-nom the norwee title because let's not be mean

[Silverclaw]

Wether or not he intended to be mean the title itself is kinda mean.

[Silverclaw]

uh

gypyx isn't a tryhard yet their avatar is a thinking

anti nom

as this title is strictly avatar based.

[Silverclaw]

Nominate OhGodMyLife for Robbed God

This is partially a username pun, but HE KEEPS DOING SO WELL IN SURVIVOR AND NOT MAKING TO THE END. HE KEEPS GETTING ROBBED.

[Silverclaw]

Oh yes absolutely it's not the best version but it was worth the discussion because we couldn't decide in the Discord either.

[Silverclaw]

Feel free to punch me into next week for the suggestion!

[Silverclaw]

I think Datisi's moment was memorable enough to be at least considered for a title. Titles aren't earned for doing anything particularly relevant, but for memorable moments or personality traits that shine through. I think the Datisi moment is memorable enough to be worth consideration.

Frankly put, I did almost nothing to catch the hacker - it was mostly done by chamber and Kison.

[Silverclaw]

I mean, you did make it too easy. I want to see where this discussion goes before I pass more judgement than that - it's not a title thought I dislike, but nothing so far has struck me as something amazing.

P-Edit I do agree with Jake here, tbh. Naked noms bad, always at least attempt to explain the title because someone will be confused.

[Silverclaw]

Datisi's ability to recall events/games/players and link them together isn't a one time thing. I've seen it in action many many times. This time they used it to catch a cheater.

You see I thought this was a thing about Datisi's recent posts in the speakeasy. Regardless, it still fits a personality trait of his.

[Silverclaw]

2) It does not specifiy apply to Noraa, as it can describe any user who happens to be kawaii, furry, or both.

You should know, perhaps better than anyone, that just because fluffy is in the title doesn't make it furry bait. Now, if you say it can be described to any furry, please tell me how it fits me better than Noraaa.

[Silverclaw]

I'm the most adamant on not participating in your title process, but mastina already forgave Noraaa for it - what you're saying right now is that you know better than mastina.

[Silverclaw]

Basically never, but when it happens the user hasn't been active for some time so the title gets forgotten.

After playing one Marathon Survivor with Ydrasse, I like Femme Fatale.

[Silverclaw]

Nominate Gypyx for 1000-Piece Jigsaw

[Silverclaw]

It was actually a play on how you're supposed to pronounce his username, with the connection to his complete setups. I didn't even know about his Saw stuff!

[Silverclaw]

nth Spice of Life

[Silverclaw]

nth esurio

[Silverclaw]

Still has a bit of a military reference to it, ehhh.

[Silverclaw]

antinom? I suspect he'll want to just keep his original title

Unless you've talked to Cabd directly, what you think he'll choose isn't what he will choose. Besides, we've had plenty of other titles for one-off events. The rest of your stuff if fie, but "I think he'll do this" doesn't count as a point.

For the sake of letting Cabd choose.

Nth

[Silverclaw]

Also, we in the office of pedantic assery would like to comment that it is entirely possible that a guess as to what someone will choose can be accurate even if founded on absolutely nothing.

Absolutely! But to use it as logic for an antinom is totally unfair.

[Silverclaw]

Nominate LLD for Firefly

- Fire (Pheonix)
- Bird (Well,more like flying) references
- Fireflies are normally very calming, nod to LLD dealing with rage stuff.

nth Rise of the Pheonix

[Silverclaw]

We agree with Cephrir. Bullet Trainer is far superior.

Vacation Bot was absolutely amazing and also incredibly frustrating.

[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.

[Silverclaw]

They are in fact fairly private.

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