So I have no clue who has it but apparently there's not one but two people with the actual title of 'Goon'.-

Nth.In post 21, hellbooks wrote: I'm already resigned to this idea being immediately (and correctly) assumed to be too frivolous and horrible and reasonless for this thread, but can I just have "Goon" as my title forever
reasons:
1. the threat of passing 1000 posts and having to live as "Mafia Scum" hangs like a sword over my head every day
2. i exhibit a lot of goonish behavior; if anyone needs someone to loom behind them and look intimidating for an upcoming negotation, i'm freelancing
3. much like the goonies i never say die -- in fact, when was the last time you remember me saying that
4. i am appealing to the mauve solidarity between us; one might consider such a role as being underacknowledged in comparison to its merit, like a goon might be
5. my second favorite role, behind VT
6. most likely will not constitute any meaningful change unless I decide to play in mafia games. however, newly secure in my goonliness, I may be motivated to do so. in fact i might even replace into a game if you need me to, wink nudge
7. such an ungainly and limp attempt at bribery as the point above is surely befitting of a goon
8. not a username pun and thus an act of counterculture
9. i am currently the only "goon-titled" member involved in site administration; securing this position would be a political windfall for a bloc serving many new members, who might be encouraged to engage more thoroughly with site workings
10. i just think it's neat
11. having a red herring for those trying to figure out the mechanics of the default titles adds to site mystique, a currency that may hold value to a website as old as ours, especially with the phpbb upgrade and our inevitable march towards modernity-

He is arguably one of the wittiest and most sardonic posters on this site and of course, this spin on the famous Hemingway quote, also fits perfectly with his username.
And before anyway tries to split hairs here and say this has nothing to do with trolling, it totally does. In one game, Taly asked me to post pictures of cute animals. After I did that about 3 or 4 times, Jingle requested I do scorpions next.
There is also his hilarious trolling post in the “stop getting banned” thread. His response to moderator openness wrt to privacy issues, was to improvise about a hilarious and ludicrous fictitious situation, involving a truck or something swerving off of a hypothetical cliff, to avoid hitting “a blind dogsled” team. I’m pretty sure, Jingle could write a bestseller with his multitude of hysterical quips, he’s posted on this site.
And hell yes, atNthingthis brilliant title.**********We just need to tread carefully because if you slip up around her as scum she notices and will tear your spine out and slap you to death with it.

Makes up for having a short term memory like a sieve pretty much though.**********We just need to tread carefully because if you slip up around her as scum she notices and will tear your spine out and slap you to death with it.

I'm getting an error for the 'assign title' area, so I can't do that right now.
That's a bug I need to report, so can't give out titles 'til it's fixed.-

Sure, I get it. You don't want to give me a different title so you make up an error.
No worries, mastina. I'm completely fine waiting as long as it takes and appreciate the update despite it not really being necessary. I wonder if the issue is something to do with me having a banner, though, so you might want to try with someone else if someone else needs a title update.This is a Parachute.-

No, it's not you; the instant I went to the 'title fairy' tab, which is needed for any user.In post 38, Jingle wrote: I wonder if the issue is something to do with me having a banner, though, so you might want to try with someone else if someone else needs a title update.
I can manage ranks, adding, editing, deleting them.
But I can't assign ranks to anyone because the menu gives the error code.-

ahem cough cough shuffles papers wrings hands hi hello im so sorry for the intrusion did the statute of limitations on commenting on one's own title pass if not i will solemnly accept the consequences but was the title bug fixed and also was there any sort of official judgment made on my goon campaign as the one comment you made on it seemed to be rather ambiguous and lastly i would like to express my appreciation for morning tweets post which made me laugh when i first read it but i was too afraid to say this for fear that it would be interpreted as a rule breaking additional advocacy-

NGL, I kinda think making the goon title for hellbooks mildly distinguishable from the regular goon title (different capitalization? Add a period at the end? Turning it into a hyperlink for the goon title request?) would be a cool thing to do because I think the campaign to be a goon is something that is fun and interesting. I support the regular Goon title as well, though.This is a Parachute.-
