Yet Another Dance of the Title Fairy: Change Up

[Varsoon]

By the way, scat is something that a lot of people don't understand...

From the Wiki that Flay linked. :3

The title references my seemingly nonsensical play on-site, and is a subtle nod to the first title people were nom'ing me for, I think.

Nominating

likeabauss

for the title of

Cooler Than Rank

.

What originally began as an off-handed response by me in Open 512 quickly became the signature of the TunnelVision hydra of likeabauss and Rank. More than that, though, Bauss has show exceptional judgement as that head of the hydra while doling out fresh jokes and having a generally good time scum-hunting. What's notable is that the TunnelVision hydra has more posts on-site than either of Bauss and Rank's individual accounts--the Hydra itself is what more people seem to know the players by rather than the heads. That said, while they do tend to sign their posts, it's become a joke for Bauss to identify his posts as the ones that are 'cooler' than Rank's, and this standard has been my own for differentiating the two players when they play as the Hydra.

[Varsoon]

Saki, you don't need that title, everyone already knows you're cooler than me.
Besides, I was tempted to 'nom you for the title of "45 posts a day" or something along those lines because your posting methods are insane.
Too bad you're fresh blood on this site and there's a 6 month rule.


@Jake: Probably. The Hydra has 250 posts total and each player has less than that. Cumulatively, I think there's about 650 posts between all three accounts of TunnelVision, likeabauss, and Rank.

Nominate Quilford for

Artfully Atrocious

http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=86&t=31328

Bad suggestion, but I'm sure someone will think of something clever

Alternatively, if he's not opposed

Atrocious

Utterly Atrocious

Maybe 'Artrocious'?

Eh? eeeeeh?

[Varsoon]

2nd for

This is my title which I was awarded

for being exceptionally verbose. I'm trying to get

better about it but it is difficult to be concise. That doesn't

mean that it isn't important to be concise, just that I struggle

with it at times, which only serves to emphasize for me how important it is

to be concise, and not verbose.

[Varsoon]

Also it's "Cabd"

Very tempted to counter-nom you for

It's 'Cabd'.

The only user who corrects others more is Titus, who tends to remind people that she's a she and they should use the proper gendered pronouns.

[Varsoon]

Some of the alternative spellings of my username are pretty hilarious.

Screw it. Dropping Mastin noms until one of them sticks.

I'm spent.
Sorry, some of these are in poor taste.
Mastin deserves a good title.
I hope one of these is good.

[Varsoon]

I do too, since it implies that Mastin has built this fortress for himself via his rhetorical approach to the game and, through it, he has assured himself a place of confidence and victory.

EDIT: I also really like that because they are -his- walls, their length may seem exceptionally high to outsiders, but they are built only as high as he deems necessary.

[Varsoon]

It looks to me like mastin is rejecting titles because they don't suit his megalomania, not because they're bad.

Teehee.

Also, Mastin's already expressed that he doesn't just want some 5-minute-joke title, but, rather, something that represents his play or approach to the game as a whole.
Yeah, Mastin writes words.
Shit, I write words.
I've written more words for this game in the last semester than I have for some of my Graduate classes. In English (Writing Fiction focus).
Writing words doesn't define Mastin. What defines Mastin is that he presents his ideas coherently, thoroughly, and is capable (and often wanting) to enter in dialogue with the game, both in play and in theory.

At least, that's how I feel 'bout that.

[Varsoon]

That's why I liked the Bruce Lee reference.
Water is formless. It takes the shape in needs to. It can be deep or shallow. It can crash upon you like the sea or it can look as harmless as a still lake.
To me, that's Mastin's approach, in a way.

[Varsoon]

I can't imagine anyone but you defines him by because his posts are just a fuckton of useless words.

;_;

I don't think they're useless.
B-sides, we all write words.

[Varsoon]

I'd second Scripsi, ergo sum, but only if it becomes

"Scripsi, ergo sum. "

[Varsoon]

Nominate Slandaar for

Where are the quotes?

or maybe

Get a quote for that

.

I've noticed before that Slandaar often asks these sorts of things, but it became really apparent in Super Dangan Ronpa 2 Mafia. His ISO alone reveals that he used the word 'quote' over fifty times. Searching 'quote' in his total forum posts results in ~2700 matches.

Dunno if anyone else is noticing this, though. :3

[Varsoon]

I figured that much when doing a search in total forum posts, but using ctrl+F in an ISO doesn't apply.

[Varsoon]

Alright, then that point loses its validity,
but I still hold that Slandaar asks for quotes a whole bunch.

Don't vote for the title if you don't believe in it?

waffles, plox for tammy
