I've deleted seven more posts about Korts title and you guys keep going eh?
If you guys want it so much well fuck who am I to impede the will of the community? If doing it though we're going with the best of the bunch, it previously got the required amount of support, I like it and Korts liked it.
By the power invested in me by my delusions of grandeur and these fancy dancy wings I hereby give Korts the title of
Luddite
!

The issue is it's only said in real life, there isn't a pattern of that being said on the forum.
If I've missed out on it being a thing on MS then please point me to appropriate threads because I'd happily be proven wrong but while I'm not a stickler about titles started on off MS meet things as some previous Fae have been (see Kdowns getting Goddammit) I still want titles to be based off stuff that is at least some relation to MS.

There was only a single occurrence of it being said in relation to pie.

-shrug- As I said I'd happily be proven wrong but as of now I could only find a single usage of "Except when he does" on MS for Pie and I used both google and built in site search tool.

I'm really not gonna push it that hard, but a bunch of other scummers and I discussed re-nomming him a while ago and I wanted to see who would actually do it if I made the first move/what people would say about it.
My personal opinion is that I feel like it's a scummer joke that will likely follow him around regardless of whether or not he officially has a title for it, it's just that him also having the title would make it feel more... complete? IDK, that's not really the word I want to use, but I'm tired and not expressing myself well.
I'd like to see what other people (esp. the people who originally nominated him) have to say about it now.

SpamWow! Got 4 nth's and at least 3 other people said they liked it. Just sayin'.
“Leftover lady, let alone the strongest to be subdued.
If I only had the magic key that would unlock the realms to the plateau of the highest me.
Even though I’ve been badly bruised, living in a house to become a popular muse.”
k I just got not-lazy enough to do some detective work and excluding the mentions that had to do with pie but was exclusively discussion of whether or not to give him the title, we have:
Also Google pretty obviously isn't picking up all pages of all threads or something, because not only did it miss my post in No-Context Quotes but it also entirely missed the original discussion of his title in the old-old-old title thread (although I think that got eaten in one of our crashes -- which also raises the point that there may have been some references that were wiped out in November...? 2011 to March...? 2012 in that big crash <_<), so it's possible there's more references than this that are floating around in limbo somewhere.
At any rate, 2 of those 3 posts were made within the last three months despite the fact that he was originally nominated January 2012...? so I feel like it's safe to say that the phrase in relation to Pie does have at least some staying power even just on the site itself, and that's not even including any in-person/skype/League of Legends/whatthefuckever references that happen even more.
tl;dr:
factchecking -- there
are
recent references on the site and there were probably more that were eaten in our various crashes over the last year, they're just not overly frequently. /shrug
Only issue with that is, other than in the most recent Always On marathon game, I feel like most of those incidences are also in person so if that's an issue for the title I nommed then it's probably also an issue with this.
It's possible someone else can think of more on-site games where he did this...?
edit: I feel like the latter title you nommed is slightly better than the former, for the record. The former just seems like it could be more forgetfulness...? which isn't
I think he deserves the original title because it still gets used in real life among Scummers, but I can understand how not having a reference to something that is on the forums would be an issue.
As an outsider to the Reckoning/Commune, the Pie title just smacks of LOOK AT THIS FUNNY THING HE SAID ONCE AND WE'RE NOW FORCING IT TO BECOME A THING.
I know you've found examples of it on the forum, but it isn't something which happens frequently enough - like Goddammit Kdowns (but at least that did eventually find its way to be more on the forum frequently). Three times in two months (and one of which is by esurio, who is pushing the title), isn't really frequent.
It may be that it's esurio who is pushing it which makes me feel like this, but I genuinely think that it's a bad title, and pushing it/renomming it makes it even worse.
Also, Om, a bit of advice mate - please stop posting about your title. Spamwow did get a lot of nths, but you yourself derailed any possible titling by your actions. The best thing to do would be to shush.
