I read the claim and it's surroundings. I didn't read the entire game.

I stand by my comments. I think is a great title, but I think this is a week titling incident.

It's witty/punny and I like what it's for.

I do not like asstoot. Korts, if you want to remind yourself of ReaperCharlie then just nominate me for the title and I'll gladly accept it even if only just to get you to shut up.

What about (for UN)? The comparison is usually positive, but it has a double meaning here on MS.

With the whole 'he's a good player, but usually disliked'.

Eh, I think people on MS will associate with the bad thing too much.

How about for UN, because he stands up for what he believes in but he may step on people's toes to do it.
Or I could see something like instead.

Yeah that was a marginal point in the nom's favor at best.

But really, it would be much healthier for you if you embraced the RC gag. The parallels between you two are uncanny, and the comparison, I'm sure, will be made time and again with or without me--you can either soften the blow by getting in on it, or you can keep protesting and get offended every time someone somewhere thinks you resemble someone else.

Or you can drop the joke entirely and get on with your day. Nobody says you have to keep making the comparisons.

Korts' post reminds me of that one episode of Community where Pierce gets kicked out of the group, and then they realize they need him so that he can be the butt monkey whenever they want to make fun of someone. I agree that UN fills a similar role here. (As do I, come to think of it.) He's annoying, but we're united in our dislike of him and he keeps us from turning on each other. So I'm thinking or something like that. ?

The Dre

Both are bad.

No, fuck that

Did you not read what I wrote earlier? (hint: post 130)

For better or worse, you're part of this community. But an all-positive title doesn't suit you, and I don't think your past should be whitewashed like that. If your title is to be a fair representation of your on-site presence (as is the purpose of titles in my mind), your divisive persona should be referenced.

Asstoot was meant to do that while giving you credit. You don't have to like it, but I think that it's the best title you have been nommed for thus far.

Or we could just not give him a title right now

Or ever.

Seriously, if UN isn't going to accept any titles which are remotely deprecating, and he probably isn't going to be nommed for any that aren't deprecating, we should just end this discussion once and for all. It's tiresome.

I didn't suggest those as an insult, I think UN provides a valuable service in these forums. And he's a pretty nice guy to be around as long as he's not ruining srs bisnis threads.

I guess we could compromise on something like for him. Between his 'I don't want a title that's deprecating in any way' stance, and his constant happy-go-lucky attitude in the forums, he really is a beacon of sunshine and happiness that you often just want to go away and leave you the fuck alone. His greatest flaw is his greatest strength, that he sees the world through a rose-tinted lens.

I'm okay with the suggestion and explanation titles do not to be entirely positive in nature, for instance Ani's title has a decent bit of a self-deprecating humour in it but is over-all a good title. However UN has since then stated that at this time he doesn't want that type of title as it well in his rights so leave it be for now and either propose different styles of titles for him or just drop it and move on to someone else.

Hells yeah. It described you well, it had support, it wasn't over-thought. I forget why Oman didn't let it go through. I think he encouraged more discussion, which effectively tabled it and killed it by committee.

The only way I can think to jazz it up any would be to maybe put it in mono font.

Korts ->

Not that it matters any more, but yeah I liked it.

I don't remember the actually story, but KK's description sounds right.

first Om, now UN...

what's with nobody wanting titles that aren't 100% flattering?

gotta protect your e-peen?
