Yet Another Dance of the Title Fairy: Change Up

[UberNinja]

FUCK YEAH FLAY

[UberNinja]

Nominate Buttons for

Title Fairies

, because he is TheButtonmen, not TheButtonman.

2nd

3rd

Nominate TBM for Nurse Title Fairy

Or something medical.

These are both terrible. Let's please

not

jizz in our pants just because there's a new Title Fairy.

Micros & Managers

And, heeeeell no.

TBM, can you please just title the man already so people will stop suggesting horrible ones? Thx

[UberNinja]

Nominate Umbrage for Hermionelle

[UberNinja]

Remind me again what a good title consists of, Oman?

[UberNinja]

No, that'd be "rewarding" me for "bad behavior", because we aren't supposed to suggest titles or joke around in the Title Fairy thread.

[UberNinja]

TBM, you're a gentleman and a scholar.

Why

not

Hermionelle for Umbrage? That's pretty much all I think of (or see) any time he makes a post.
Because "lol I don't like him" or "lol we dont do avatar related titles"? Those are both bollocks reasons.

[UberNinja]

Well thanks Llama. That means a lot.

@ myk: It makes me laugh. But yeah, it's kind of insulting. I would prefer a title for something I'm good at, not something stigmatic.

[UberNinja]

Kondi 2.0

is actually cool.

Fine, screw

Hermionelle

.

[UberNinja]

2nd

[UberNinja]

Always a buzzkill eh? ^

Still, he's come a long way.

[UberNinja]

I like the doctor one.

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

ReaperCharlie

and I'll gladly accept it even if only just to get you to shut up.

[UberNinja]

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

Lightning Rod

or something like that.

Escape Goat

?

No, fuck that

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

[UberNinja]

first Om, now UN...

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

gotta protect your e-peen?

It's not that they aren't 100% flattering, its that they are more insulting than not. In neither case should the idea have even been brought up. If you can't think of a nice title to say then...

Yeah, pretty much

[UberNinja]

I am pretty positive most of the time. I just made a rocky first impression I guess. Haha

My play style in games has nothing to do with my personality fwiw

[UberNinja]

Nominate Vi for

ctor/Victoria

No...

[UberNinja]

Vi ... ctor/Victoria

Because of the whole Vi tries to be androgynous thing...

come on

[UberNinja]

Ok.

[UberNinja]

Reck struck something: How about just

Pariah

?

[UberNinja]

I like Metatron way better than Gabriel.

[UberNinja]

Mr. Flay -

Gabriel

vs

Metatron

I approve of both of them on several levels, thoughts on which works better?

Metatron is a more eye catching title, I think. I prefer that one.

This. Definitely

Metatron

.

EGOTistical is better than EgoT, in my opinion.

Again, that is if you felt the need to change an existing title that has already been well established as fitting the user in question.

EGOTist

is stronger than both, I feel.

Excellent idea @ the suggestor, but tbh I'd probably stick with ProPara if I was Vi though

[UberNinja]

EGOTist doesn't only mean EGO-tist, it could also mean AWARDWINNER-ist, which is more of what Vi's known for. Vi doesn't really have that much of an ego either, which makes the joke even better. Really though, the perfect tie in is the EGOT thing. Which I have never heard of, but it's pretty brilliant.

[UberNinja]

EGOTist

vs

EGOTistical

I like the first

[UberNinja]

Yes oversoul, if you don't go UM WHY ARE THE FIRST FOUR LETTERS CAPITALIZED then yes you might misinterpret it

yeah if they can't do this...

-shakes head-

[UberNinja]

Yup. Used to be that a Technical/Admin had to do them, but someone cooked up a mod that allows TF to do them without all the extra buttons.

credit where credit is due

hail, "someone"

[UberNinja]

TBM, too quick though? The suggestion wasn't even 12 hours old.

Enough discussion to reach a consensus on one or two variations of a title, five scummers supporting it and my approval are the only requirements for a title, time isn't a factor at all.

Holy fuck, we got an upgrade

<3

[UberNinja]

Nominate TBM for

Clapping Optional

I will be declining any and all noms of a title for me as I think titling myself would be a conflict of interest.

Isn't that totally the idea? Being a title fairy, you get a nom by default.
If you're considered worthy of titling, then surely you're worthy of having a title.



Fuck it, I'm nominating you anyway:

BETTER THAN TINKERBELL HERSELF

[UberNinja]

Nominate Umbrage for

Dolorous

because he seems to cause most people on this site pain
and there's a totes funny pun included.

Because this was a bad suggestion and also Umbrage hasn't done anything title worthy

There is no such thing as title worthy other than being a member of the site, and somebody suggesting a title for you that is considered to fit well enough by what essentially amounts to a kangaroo court of internet friends and gangsters. get the fuck with the program

nth Dolorous

[UberNinja]

Mehdi that's not a great title because it's for something he does on the side, not about who he is and who people recognize him as.

[UberNinja]

Om of the Nom: What about

Eats ham and jam

Maybe not so good.

Doesn't reference spam as well as I'd like.

Spambot Stopper

would be another idea considering the amount of spam he reports and I think spam commonly comes from bots.

This only has a single meaning, what happened last time is that the titles were also referencing the fact that I tend to spam in my games too.

You shouldn't want a title for spamming in games.

Even if it is ironically the opposite of what you do when you report bots elsewhere on the forum.

[UberNinja]

There's nothing bland about Spam. That's the greatest food ever invented.

Nominate Ythan for

Unwelcoming Haystack

[UberNinja]

I do like Gold Star. A lot

[UberNinja]

Nominate TBM for

Man of the Van

which is a play off of "Man of the Cloth" but with the obvious van pun thrown in.

A title like

Van Punderson

or

Van Punman

would also be cool... they remind me of Van Henderson or Van Halen.

Don't fight it TBM.

[UberNinja]

nth Granger Danger

or

Dolorous

... I prefer the latter.

nth free candy

(lowercase ftw, btw)

[UberNinja]

Tierce is the one who uses it the best though.
But she already has a title.

Cache Me If You Van

(Also, thanks. ^_^)

Cache You in a Van?

Van Stache

You get a stash instead of a cache, you get a creepy molestache, AND it sounds like a name.

Win/Win/Win.

Shut up if you can

LOL

gtfo

[UberNinja]

how about

[UberNinja]

how about

"that guy"

(with or without quotes)

because crypto is always "that guy"

[UberNinja]

ymmv obv

crypto might like it tho

[UberNinja]

(shrug)

Happy cake day Richard!

[UberNinja]

Bah, I give up. Crypto, you're SOL. I'll come back in a week or so to see if there is anything more juicy

Spoiler:

...

uh...

not that guy

... ?


jk

[UberNinja]

Don't try to force a title.
(also, re: Hoopla)

Also re:hoopla what?

[UberNinja]

oh that. it's not "trying to force it" if you simply mention something half jokingly

lighten up bro

[UberNinja]

He's a steampunk-ish dude I thought, which makes the Luddite reference stupid.
Also, he's a mod, and censors lewd content such as questionably-colored dogs.

It misses on both points for me.

[UberNinja]

Semi-joke-nom for Korts:

Hungar Games

Because he's a mod and he's got to stay one step ahead of everyone in a cutthroat environment, and put them all in their place, as he's "in charge" of the games.

Also, he's Hungarian.

Also, I finished reading Hunger Games yesterday and watched it last night so it's fresh in my mind.

Also, it's pretty bad. But if he likes it then fuck yeah

[UberNinja]

narp

narp

I love Hot Fuzz.

Either we should focus on a specific characteristic that we all know Korts to have (that isn't offensive) or just give up and stop thinking about random things. Because that was fitting trying to fit a person to the title. Not the other way around.

Yeah... I already wrote an Ode to Korts.. lol

Spoiler:

I write poetry. I failed as a mechanical engineer. I may or may not have a drinking problem. I'm somewhat concerned my penis is too big for comfort. I'm writing my thesis about the post-human as the transitional element between humanity and the Other.

Disclaimer

All who venture forth herein: beware the changing meters
Upon the edge of sanity my consciousness oft teeters
Yet I'll refrain from making clear what's commonly known fact
And let you read my rubbish now; you've caught me in the act!

Hearken now, thine filthful rabble
As words mingle and wordsmith dabbles
E'er betrothed, to snark and wit
This wayward tongue doth flick and flit


« ~ ¤ ~ ¤ ~ »


A Quartz of Truth his ego helmed
Beneath dark oak and tangled elm
The forest looming o'er his head
His dreams so bright, in darkness' stead

An engineer mechanical, he thus fancied himself
Yet ere drew nigh his failure; as it were, conceived in stealth
They rolled in earnest; boiling tears of melancholy shame
And thus began his journey to this grim eccentric game

After each night has shed its cloak, the cycle starts anew
And much the same, our hardy friend had found a new start too
To grief the trolls, berate VIs, and castigate outcasts
A purpose just, a calling worthy, his place he'd found at last

Trite and timorous he spoke of loving poetry
And in reply received only "STFU" and "QFT"
Rightly his rage piqued; but also animosity
And inexorably, the trolls received no amity

His eye is sharp, watch as he levels now
His piercing chides, and now his righteous stare
Not solely on fiends as they bait the crowds
Nay; upon

all

whom dared linger there

His liqueur fancy oft detailed in fable
He drinks even Keith Moon under the table
His yearbook quote read thus: "Drown me with beer!"
An erudite savant? Don't make me sneer

When buzzed he chases skirt like you have never seen before
When more inebriated, he gets naked on the floor
When

well

intoxicated, he seeks flaming embers' touch
It's said that tales exist of how he scorched his member thus

But when not setting fire to intimate extremities
He dabbles in post-humanism (and snorting Febreze)

If run a charity he did; it'd be Nickels for Nichols
Can gaps be bridged between reality and superstition?
The question of "the Other" his curiosity tickles
And seek he does a cure for the current human condition

His passion is to seek the Other so
Also to speak sophisticatedly
About such things which man may never know
And realms beyond that deepest mystery

[UberNinja]

Haha. Jam. That's so horrible it's actually funny.

Alternative (even worse):

We Hongry

[UberNinja]

Hungary made me think Hongry, lol

[UberNinja]

He's just... Korts

[UberNinja]

The issue is it's only said in real life, there isn't a pattern of that being said on the forum.

There is an actual real life scummer commune where actual scummers decided to live together in the same house.

If they say it all the time in real life after having met on the forum, then it's plenty good enough for a forum title imo

My $0.02

[UberNinja]

Which should clearly indicate something...

Every time I see the Christmas version of your avatar, I imagine Vito intoning "Ho ho, motherfucker" and pulling out a huge ass pistol and blowing someone away

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

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

[UberNinja]

Alright, alright. I was just trying to be supportive of esurio. She wants her man to have a title so bad

[UberNinja]

Now you're just being a spoilsport, bob

[UberNinja]

As a rowdy mob, we shook the Magic 8-Ball mercilessly until it gave us the answer we wanted. Obviously.

[UberNinja]

Nominate Umbrage for one of:

[UberNinja]

I was just thinking

Hurt himself in confusion

because of how often his posts backfire and everyone rages at him.

might be better in that case

[UberNinja]

I can't tell Cybele's drawings from BBmolla's drawings, FWIW. Maybe there is a title there. Bad MS Paint masters or something... ?

[UberNinja]

Nominate gorkcat for "

Happy as Fuck

" based on his overall general level of cheerfulness, even when discussing heated matters or interacting with people who have their panties in a wad about nothing. There may be some small part of me which wants this title based on the fucking happy little water droplet in his avatar, but I feel it fits his overall personality and persona on-site as well.

[UberNinja]

Also, it reminds me of the phrase "dapper as fuck", which I enjoy immensely.

It was a ruttin joke. sheesh

[UberNinja]

I don't really get that feel from Chevre's posts.

[UberNinja]

nth Survey says...

[UberNinja]

Dr. Feelgood

is better by far. Plus, I have never gotten the "relax, I got this" feel from Matt in games...

...he's more like a psychopath bad guy who's got a "plan" but there are seventy-five detours and nothing actually goes according to plan. And the whole time he's pulling his hair out and going "what the fuck is wrong with all these people around me" and "you idiots are going to be the end of me" and shit. Classic movie villain status.

Except sometimes he's a good guy, and the same thing happens.

All that to say, never once did I get a "relax, I got this" attitude anywhere inside games.
His emotional balance is too fragile in games for that title.

-nth

to

Relax, I got this

[UberNinja]

Meh,

Trust me, I'm a Doctor

is alright, but deep down in my heart I don't like any of these titles for Matt, because none of them scream Matt to me. I think we should let it marinate a while longer and see what comes up, instead of trying to push it through. He's a strong personality, other stuff will bleed through. And I don't think any of these titles successfully captures the more broad feel of his essence on site; they all just capture a facet or two.

/opinion

[UberNinja]

All hail the Title Fairy

[UberNinja]

I need a doctor

[UberNinja]

TBM needs a title. But he refuses to title himself so we need an admin with the cajones to act decisively.

It was my understanding that he wasn't opposed to a title, he just didn't want to title himself. Correct me if I'm wrong tbm.

I believe flay has expressed willingness, and I'm also willing. But TBM would still need to accept it, and it would need to not suck.

Buttons, we just need you to say you're ok with the title. YOU AREN'T TITLING YOURSELF.

[UberNinja]

Make it so, #1

[UberNinja]

context?

[UberNinja]

Yeah. =\ I love Patrick though.

[UberNinja]

I don't think it's a dumb rule per se.

If I was good buddies with someone IRL (i.e. Nacho), and we had an inside joke (i.e. AMURIKA) that may have made its way to a meet (i.e. Scummer of Love), and it became a thing, I wouldn't expect either of us to be nominated for a title based on it, even though it was a funny thing that lots of people liked/joined in on, and has bled onto forums (i.e. AMURIKA MAFIA which we are modding together), and even though it continues to "be a thing".

I realize you liked the whole "except when he does" thing, and so did a lot of people. And I wouldn't be upset to get a nomination for AMURIKA or something related (even though I'd expect Nacho to be far more likely to get a nom based on it, because he perpetuated it way more), but I don't think it's an absolute necessity that all titles be allowed, just because some people like them.

I don't know. This whole Title Fairy thing is just too subjective for "rules" like that.

Buttons does his thing, and he's pretty much the only opinion that matters.

And overall the vast majority of people are completely fine with stuff how it is right now.

[UberNinja]

(Not that this is going to come as a complete shock but) I agree with esurio.

Except when I don't.

...so funny I forgot to laugh.

Capital F please

[UberNinja]

Wasn't saying we did. But I think it's kinda sad to see it be dead for weeks/months at a time too, y'know?

It's cause I wast here... That'll change.

More context for Majiffy is that he parades The Flow Chart (tm) around UN his sig and I can remember one game he drew anger for it. His MD thread only shows its creating popularity.

did your phone just autocorrect "in" to "UN"?

<3

[UberNinja]

I would think kuribo would be more like "

" for his playstyle

[UberNinja]

Aw, you guys.

Dammit, I like both. lol
I suppose this is a good problem to have

I think I like Benevolent Bulldozer better

I actually like it without the "The"

Hmmm let me think for a while

[UberNinja]

April Fools Joke?? no clue what you are on about there?

chamber "quit" and he gave UN admin for the day. Hence, United Nations and etc.

And I made good use of that adminship, too.

There are now two vending machines in the MafiaScum lobby.

[UberNinja]

Princeton's Token Black Guy

[UberNinja]

Okay I have thought about it and though I feel benevolent bulldozer describes my play style really well, jekyll and hyde describes my IRL personality really well, while also giving a nod to the duality of my in game persona vs. my attempts to be useful around the site. So that one is closer to what I'd want.

TBM, am I allowed to suggest slight variations on the title? For instance since I feel like I am constantly at war within myself, maybe jekyll vs. hyde would work better, or for a play on words, something like "hyding from jekyll" though now that I see that written out I don't like it as much as I did in my head. I think if it's down to "and" or "vs." I think I like "vs." better. Is that okay to suggest? It's not really changing the title just making it a like more personally accurate and tbh more emotionally relevant to me.

[UberNinja]

This is devolving quickly.

[UberNinja]

You certainly gave me a lot of joy in NY 161 when you kept calling me the worst townie ever and saying I should go back to newbie games. I think I laughed harder at that than anything else in the game.

[UberNinja]

lol...

If it's styled like

Adrninistrator

then that's alright-looking I guess... but it'd still clash with the bold blue of my username though.

What are the limits on colors/etc? If I could be a permanent addition to the Adrninistrators group (fake red name) and then have the title Adrninistrator, then hell yeah I want it. haha

I liked Jekyll vs. Hyde a lot too though.

p-edit: welp

[UberNinja]

No I'm using prosilver because sepia has shitty icons and I haven't gotten around to noticing or fixing them yet

[UberNinja]

No, I'm pulling the plug on this admin/chamber shit.

I just want the

Jekyll vs. Hyde

title please.

p-edit: yes. yes. yes.

[UberNinja]

Unless of course you just nominated me for "Beautiful Beast"...

...in which case I could envision myself accepting that too

[UberNinja]

dr. jekyll or rnister hyde?

with the question mark.

See: #1392

[UberNinja]

I already said I don't like that.

[UberNinja]

Why? Because the internal struggle is implicit in the character names themselves?

[UberNinja]

I agree to an extent, but to me, the "vs." makes it sound like they are in a physical conflict between two actual people in addition to just an internal struggle. And sometimes my internal struggles feel like a genuine knock-down-drag-out brawl.

I still prefer "vs."

[UberNinja]

or maybe "

Jekyll or Hyde?

"

what do you think of that one.

[UberNinja]

yeah pretty much. the duality between different extremes of my personality

and because i'm kind of schizophrenic about most shit

[UberNinja]

I don't like on/off to something

No boundaries is okay

[UberNinja]

I agree with Faraday. He's certainly the game MVP but that title, post, even game performance as a whole, are not really that definitive of his character/skills/etc.

[UberNinja]

@Ven: I think my point (poorly worded though it was) was that your play there was par for the course for you. You made good night action plays, your scumhunting nose was mostly on target, and in general you helped town cohesion and direction. I just don't think that's definitive enough to warrant a title at this juncture, because though you did kinda put the team on your back at one point, it's not really something you do all the time, at least, not in the games I have played with you. You're a good team player but you aren't usually that spotlight superstar. But at the same time I don't feel like it was a career defining moment for you. There will be much better things in your future, and to title you based off that would be robbing you. I hope it makes a little better sense now.

[UberNinja]
