I actually think NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED is a great title for AGM.

Yeah, that was partially along where I was like "Yeah, that's a legit title."

No and No.
We don't need mass-spam titles for people for two-three months of being here.
While 2 years is alot, Parama's on the right track- Title should be more than just "LOL I MADE A JOKE" or something. A tribute to an amazing series of games, a site meme, a site icon, testament to someone's good (or bad or LOLbad) play, a nod to their meta; that's what titles should be about- something that resonates with the player for years. Not three months of being here and a "hey look can i haz title nao?"

And the Title Council is bad. Titles are for the community to decide not
rich bureaucrats
some council of people to decide. Who better to decide how the community views the player than the community? Not some
politician
council who might be out of touch with today's going-ons.

edit: Sorry for the doublepost- what I get for reading the thread backwards. Anyway, thought there was some srs discussion on changing policy. W hy I commented.

Horrible. Some players who've not been here for two years are very respected and good Mafia players. I stand by my word, six months is bad enough. Don't make it worse.

You do realize that most players on this site haven't even established a consistent playstyle within 6 months? Or inserted themselves into the community in a way in which lore than a niche of the site knows anything about them? Just because you hold someone's mafia play in high regard doesn't mean that they are widely recognized by the community at large as anything more than just another poster. 6 months really is too short if titles truly are supposed to be a reflection of ones general character or playstyle, but that's where it stands right now and it won't be lowered any time soon.
