Yet Another Dance of the Title Fairy: Change Up

[animorpherv1]

Yeah I mean I'm about as far away from the real life event that inspired it, and I still associate the saying with Pie.

[TheButtonmen]

The evidence for the Pie title just really isn't that strong (nor is the title itself) IMO.

I'm pretty sure our reasons are very similar (if not THE EXACT SAME) as kdowns' title.

People at least said Goddamnit on the forum though.

[TheButtonmen]

Outside of the TF thread the phrase except when he does has been said in relation to Pie exactly twice, it might be extremely popular in the scumhouse in NC but until it carries over to the forum it's not really falling under my jurisdiction.

I don't understand why it has to be said on the forums? It has staying power. I'd consider Umbrage & UN as a 5th and 6th, so can we get going with the title?

[redFF]

The only reason you associate the saying with Pie is because of the amount of times he's been nominated for a title relating to it.

I disagree.

[SleepyKrew]

The title has gotten 5+ supporters and TBM has rejected it and explained why. Shouldn't that be the end of it?

[TheButtonmen]

I don't understand why it has to be said on the forums?

There is no community accessibility or buy in for titles which are based on things which don't involve Mafiascum. It would be like me just giving titles to the people I know in scumchat based off our own inside jokes.

I would actually have no issue with that.

[TheButtonmen]

I would.

What's a Good Title?

A title should subtly or not-so-subtly reference an amusing incident, playstyle or characteristic

that the entire community can understand

I think that's a dumb rule. Titles are handed out here less often than discussion bans, so I think it's limiting.

[Quilford]

Titles don't have to be handed out more often than discussion bans. There's no quota Buttons has to meet.

[zoraster]

also, goddammit came from a mafiascum game.

I thought it came from LoL >.>

[Chevre]

I'm part of the MafiaScum community.
I don't understand ani's title. Why 95.7? Why is he "95.7 noise?"
I don't understand zoraster's title. Why is it so?

Sure, maybe if I went back and looked at the evidence for these titles being given, then of course I could understand. But you can make the same argument for "Except when he does." However, that is fresh and pertinent to a large part of the community: everyone who attended the reckoning and people who followed it and people who encounter pie in discussion.

Also so irrelevant but

nth Granger Danger for Umbrage

[Mr. Flay]

Not being able to understand a title LATER is not the same as not being able to understand a title when it's being proposed/given. There's a natural element of decay, Buttons is just saying he doesn't want to encourage that.

[Chevre]

um

"Except when he does" happened a year ago. I mean I haven't read the Reckoning II thread, so I don't know if it's being brought up again because of it, but I'm pretty sure if there was a crossword clue saying "(16 letter) Title proposed for InflatablePie" I would've got it, and vice versa.

[RichardGHP]

Only because you people won't stop nominating it.

[animorpherv1]

Only because

you people won't stop nominating it

it was nominated twice.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've only seen it pushed twice.

[RichardGHP]

Only because you people won't stop

nominating

talking about it.

[Nexus]

Yes, it's only been nominated twice, but it's been discussed to death both times.

TBM, the Title Fairy, has said no. So shut up. It's not a good title.

[esuriospiritus]

I feel like TBM is suggesting that the joke be beaten into the ground a la Goddammit (I still like the title, but yeah, we kind of overused that for a while to get it to be a title...) before it can become a title, which I'm pretty sure isn't what anyone wants...

It's obviously been "discussed to death" because there are people that still really like it a year later; I'm pretty sure there are titles that have been

actually

given out that that people would be just meh about a year later if it was being brought back into consideration. But whatevs. I really don't understand why titles are such serious business here in the first place and there are always going to be titles I think are a good idea that the various fairies don't agree with so /shrug

It was worth a shot.

(PS: Nexus, I understand you have your opinion, but you can state it without being a jerk about it.)

[UberNinja]

I ain't no sexist, Flay! I love all genders equally!

Spoiler: Explanation

We should try to think of more titles for TBM.

I was thinking

Hard Ass

, because the butt on men, but also the fact that he lays down the law in this thread.

Any TBM title needs to be plural.

nth Hard Ass

or

Hard Asses

, for Bella

Huh?

Are you just being sexist, or am I missing something?

Yes. You're missing something. ;D

[UberNinja]

Also, GODDAMMIT TBM, GIVE PIE HIS TITLE

[RichardGHP]

The only person who has a say in this says no. That should be an end to it.
