Yet Another Dance of the Title Fairy: Change Up

[xtopherusD]

izakthegoomba's title says the same thing twice. And it doesn't even try to reference his Mish Mash Moderation role! So, uh.

Nominate izakthegoomba for

some variation of

"Chaos Organised"

Because... Mish Mash, is...

is Chaos...

and. organisation...

and, and British spelling...

okay I'll just be leaving now

[xtopherusD]

Organised vs. organized?

Unless I've misinterpreted something somewhere and you're telling me you're American o_O

[xtopherusD]

Also the whole argument about people getting titles for bad things is dumb. Titles are meant to signify a defining thing of a user's persona on the forum. Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing doesn't matter.

It's much easier to have a negative "definining thing" than a positive. Giving people titles for bad things only encourages people who want a title to just start annoying everyone.

Where do you draw the line between "moderately inconvenient" and "bad posting"? If someone gets a title for pushing boundaries, they've got a site-given acknowledgment of their actions - almost an official loosening of the boundaries. Someone is then just going to push at the boundaries either in hopes of a title or just because they know it's been done before and people didn't mind.


Titles can be an encouragement to stand out in some unique way. If people start getting titles for standing out

negatively

then they just become an encouragement to stand out in any way possible - and it is so much easier to do things like, post an identical picture every day, than to have a fun quirk that people like or to be useful at something.

The Law of Hydra-ae-ætion

[xtopherusD]

Obviously it should be

Snark ¡Attack!

[xtopherusD]

Totally Not UT

Totally Also Not UT

Stop Accusing Me Of Being UT, I'm Not That Guy. That's A Different Guy

I don't know, KK; this is some pretty airtight stuff.

[xtopherusD]

AngryPidgeon for Tongue in Beak?

[xtopherusD]

I appreciate the pun, but why does that apply to AP?

That's a requirement now?

So obviously it's referencing the emoticon and the whole, HAR HAR he's a bird.
And so I know that cocky and tongue-in-cheek can sort of go hand in hand. I was just hoping someone else would fill in that missing link, if it made sense for the guy.

Maybe if you were, like, kwadz08 instead? Seems to fit with the others, I mean.

[xtopherusD]

......

it's

his title

. Of course it has to apply to him.

Damn sarcasm. On my part. I know it's a requirement now. It was like the first requirement, so I'm good.

[xtopherusD]

Forgive my naïveté, but if we're going that route, wouldn't a better title be

I'll be watching you

?

That's like, the joke explaining itself. Plus it could (and, by most, would) be taken as purely sinister. Using the song for the title says that Cabd stalks us because he truly cares.

[xtopherusD]

I'm pretty sure you've all gone full circle with mastin titling and he's already shared his thoughts on the titles that are being suggested.

How about something like

For a change

? In games full of one-liners and uselessness, it must be good to have some verbosity for a change. He's changed to the second account, from the original Mastin. And there are a ridiculous amount of MD threads by him - trying to change how people see or play the game.

That example specifically probably needs explanation than it's worth but mastin's done more things than make long posts, and I don't think a title that doesn't reflect that is fair or worth applying.


Grr, shortpost ninja. *shakes fist*

[xtopherusD]

If you honestly believe that someone noting that you are often debating things is an insult, you should stop doing it.

If you won't or can't stop doing it because "it's just part of who you are", I reckon it's a perfect title.

[xtopherusD]

I'm trying to avoid being insulting myself, which in turn is probably weakening my point.

All I mean to say is that if Tamuz doesn't want to be known for doing some thing, it's within his own power to stop doing that thing. If he recognises that it's a negative trait, he

should

be not doing it.


Would Tamuz be opposed to

A second opinion

? Technically he doesn't argue

against

everything, and I'm sure I've seen times when he hasn't directly opposed but just given another opinion. It's often slated against the original, but not always a disagreement. I just wish he was some kind of doctor or something to add some more depth to it.

And if that's no good, I'll attempt to avoid another mastintitle scenario and leave it at that.

[xtopherusD]

*stuff*

Is there some title I can nom you for that highlights your habit of arguing something tangential to the actual discussion instead of participating in it in a useful way?

I like *stuff*

[xtopherusD]

she criticizes other players or praises her abilities from the grave

Isn't this the third worst kind of rulebreaking on the site? Behind discussing ongoing games and avatar bets, of course.

[xtopherusD]

Nominate Who for "Nominate Who"

HAH.

I want Who to get this. Or just "First". Don't do it though.


Shouldn't title for lurking IMO - though it looks like that in itself isn't a problem?. But is there something clever that mentions the lurking as well as referencing something else about him? There has to be more to this guy than loopholing. But don't force it just because someone suggested one title. Seriously. Thank you.

[xtopherusD]

Does he actually get prodded? If not, then "Has been prodded" doesn't work. I feel like if lurking is the thing he's going to do, he'd be doing it with the right timing to post as little as he feels he needs while not actually getting prodded. But I haven't done the background check. Just based off the mentality of his "using the rules to your advantage" post.

That sort of play would warrant some clever "Prod Dodge" title. But if he plays to get prodded then that one's fine.

[xtopherusD]

Because stalking everyone on the site is welcome behaviour...

You're missing something important here.

Yeah, if we're considering giving Tans a title, it shouldn't be for the creepiness drama that spawns around him every once in a while. The video game Santa angle would be good if someone can find a non-forced title to make out of it.

Keeper of Keys. Has Game/Got Game/Too Much Game?/etc.

Can't think of any more right now. Do they work for him? I don't know things. I just say things.

[xtopherusD]

Shirts are basically games.

[xtopherusD]

nononononono

Cabd is the one stalking people. He's already got that title.

[xtopherusD]

This site has a tendency to attract argumentative people, and also a tendency to only keep argumentative people.

No it doesn't.

Yes, it does.

You're both wrong!

[xtopherusD]

and Nominate saulres for judres

What is this I don't even

Saulus and Judas, maybe? (and the "backstory" of those role names, of course)

The implication is that you seem like a good person but you're actually a heartless bastard.

[xtopherusD]

"Drunk with power" could combine them but isn't as strong. "Would kill for a drink", too?

[xtopherusD]

This.
