Yet Another Dance of the Title Fairy: Change Up

[Oman]

Alright I'll make a post outlining my view on titles and where I want to go with this position but for now unless anyone has further feedback or suggestions I'm approving of the title

Goddammit

for Kdowns.

The other ongoing discussion was for GreyICE who has the current nominations of

Micromanagement

,

Micromanager

, Microfuse and

Shortfuse

.

Thoughts?

Abuse of Power!


Wow, that does feel good.

[Oman]

Ugh, why are people trying to over complicate this, case in point umbrage's latest monstrosity. Simple is sharp is easy is rhythmic is good.

[Oman]

It is kinda a username thing,

It is entirely a username thing.


Oh and it sucks.

[Oman]

Oman's just going to start trolling this thread now isn't he?

It's incredibly liberating.

Also, I think there are much better titles out there than username titles. I cringe everytime someone says that a title "is also a representation for x" when literally nobody else has ever mentioned that. The joke is that your name has an e in it and you tell people that it has an e in it. No-one else has said that, and I'm guessing it's probably because that's not what the title means to them.


Discussing your title should be encouraged, but writing your own story should be avoided.

[Oman]

I think Oman has posted more in this thread than in his own thread where he was the title fairy.

I'm certainly reading it less. It's nice to come here and actually enjoy it rather than feel like an obligation to clean up the shitposts sometimes.

Nominate Umbrage for Hermionelle

Can you stop making this joke?

[Oman]

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

Supported by the community. Which this stupid Hermione title has never been.

Honestly with your Signal:Noise ratio in these threads, I could also define a good title as "not proposed by you".

[Oman]

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.

Notice how nobody else has problems with the concept of this thread EXCEPT for you (and reapercharlie...just sayin')

[Oman]

When was the last time you saw ReaperCharlie?
UN, that's what happens to people who are at loggerheads with Oman.

I'm not sure what either of these are meant to mean.

[Oman]

It ended the game.

Well. One for the history books then?

[Oman]

No, the joke is that I don't have to be diplomatic. It's a terrible title because we have fakeclaims every day, and we have fakeclaims that end games every day.

If you want to get a title for a fakeclaim, it has to be good good good, or insanely terrible like mine.

EDIT: Actually that's not even the point.

The point is this - it should define a user in the face of a community. Yes I know buttons has a different idea to me, but to make it easy think about it like this: Titling is about giving someone a nickname.

You don't give someone the nickname "Old Breathey" just because he requires oxygen, you call him "kebabtoes" because he's the only person who can eat yirros with his feet. If you're trying to say what someone means to you, why would you pick the most bland part of them? Is that what they mean to you? Banality?

[Oman]

Did you even read the game for context?

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

I stand by my comments. I think

trust me, I'm a doctor

is a great title, but I think this is a week titling incident.

[Oman]

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.

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

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

[Oman]

Nominate Vi for

ctor/Victoria

I don't understand this. Can you please explain it.

(Also, is UN trying to UN NS?)

[Oman]

Vi ... ctor/Victoria

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

come on

Yeah not only is ProfPara much better, I don't usually read Username-title without a beat in between, so it didn't make sense to me.

[Oman]

Yeah I meant quotes made about me in threads (not by me). There have been a few. None as good as the singularity one but hey, I just got here lol.

A title isn't about how you see yourself but how we as a community see you. So posting your favourites isn't really the best idea.

[Oman]

Spam? Had Some, Thanks

might be more appropriate.

My only problem with this and Ani's is that it feels like a very distinct break in flow. I think keeping it to one phrase or sentence would be a lot better. Flays particular suggestion leads to three separate segments: Spam?//Had Some,// Thanks.

I like Gold Star.

[Oman]

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY LEGACY!

[Oman]

I don't like titles titles suck I don't want one anyone who has one should die

Wish I still had some power to abuse.

[Oman]

nominate BROSeidon for RiotBRO

because did you know BROseidon has friends that work for Riot Games?

(this was also suggested IRL and got big laughs)

Sorry I was away from the thread.

third

This shit is great.

[Oman]

As the former most pedantic title fairy ever...booo! Boo on you!

[Oman]

Does that make me the current most pendantic title fairy ever?

I dunno. You're doing a better job than I ever did, so props to you.
