Good grief, Buttons. Clean this spam. :o

(You have no idea how tempted I am to add fairy wings to your avatar.)

Congrats. Let's hope it's a long time before you regret this. <3

Not particularly relevant to Grey. Is it because he's the only one presently hosting an RP campaign with scummers? That isn't really new and spectacular, and the reference seems somewhat obscure and trying to cram more stuff in.

Micro Manager/Management is fine.

Minor nitpick: demon = malevolent, while daemon (daimon) is a class of beings from Greek myth, many of them actually benevolent. (The Roman version of daemons included the Lares, for example.)

The root of the word is the same, but they mean different things. In this case, you're looking for the
demon
version, not the
daemon
one.


That said, it fits myk.

As cute as the pun is--

    anoraaable
--looks horrible. adoraaable is slightly better, but not enough to make it palatable. Username puns like this are bad.

And Seol's. But you are forgetting two things:
  1. Those titles make sense individually;
  2. You are trying to use a precedent that does not apply, because not only does site culture change, but Buttons was not the Title Fairy behind the "Lyrical/Logical/Illogical Rampage" titles. Just because there are matched titles from years ago doesn't mean they should be used again with such a weak "individual title worth".

Either that or

"Card Czar" is actually from Cards Against Humanity. The Card Czar is the person whose turn it is to read the black "question" card.

In post 1686, TheButtonmen wrote:Is the the card reference for CDB just from meets?
Sorry, I missed this at the time.

It's not just from meets. CDB has been a force behind Skype Mafia for quite a while, and as I said before, "Card Czar" also comes from Cards Against Humanity (no, there is nothing about the black/white cards in particular, Korts; every turn, the Card Czar position rotates through the players). After Ponybash, CDB drew the "Cards Against Humanity" role in Ponybash Invitational, which was a Jack of All Trades that played one card each night for specific 1-shots.

The reference has a root in meets, in Skype Mafia, and in the forums. It's encompassing and recognizable for the active forum community.

TheButtonmen (7:23): if it was someones title who wasn't me (aka the Titlefairy) and it had lots of support I'd let badass slip under the profanity barrier

It is a neat gimmick, but it doesn't look particularly good as a title, I think.

soooo many... sooooooooooo many examples. In my memory, at least 50 in the last 2 weeks. <3
This really isn't unique to mollie, though. Ghostlin and ffery do it just as often. Marangal as well.
True, but I've never seen anyone do it as often as mollie does in any single game. The frequency of the slips, page after page, as well as the amount of different mollie-alts that will appear in any one game
is
unique to her, imo.
No, it is not. You're not looking at the right games.

Doesn't mean she's not remarkable for occasional alt-slipping, but it's not particularly unique and it is not one of the first things that comes to my mind when thinking about mollie.

nth Mrs. Waffles


It's on the forums. It's in her games and elsewhere. The sources are there--just go through her posts? You don't have to have a direct interaction with Tammy to get this.

It's fine to not like the title or disagree or whatever, but it's definitely not an outside-the-forums-only thing. And until someone else starts bringing up their cat and their waffly behavior on the forums in the same way Tammy does, that is a pretty unique and memorable thing. (No, zoraster's "Where's Hermes" doesn't count.)

Also, that's a really nice fence she's got there.

Besides, Waffles is a mackerel tabby, not a classic one. /nerd
