Nominate AlmasterGM for: NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED


Because Almaster's known for the DEFCON series and the StarCraft reference is too good to pass up. (Now if only we could get the Protoss announcer from SC1 to play whenever you read an Almaster post...)

Nah - I figure that title should go to one of the players who actually started it (probably Gammagooey). I'm just waiting to nom someone for it until DEFCON 3 is done.

EDIT: Reck's objection seems off. There are some mods whose reputation will permanently be tied to a particularly iconic game or series of games (Percy - Stars Aligned, SpyreX - Star Control/Powerful Wizard, Tarhalindur - Mind Screw, Mirth - Congratulations! You are... Mafia, AlmasterGM - DEFCON, etc.). These users tend to wind up with custom titles that reference those games. I don't see a problem with this.

done, and Gamma is most likely getting 'Glad Hatter'.


Yeah no, "IT'S PARTAY TIME" fits Gamma much better. (Or maybe Lady Lambdadelta, though I'm horribly tempted to nominate her for a Bernkastel-based title instead.)

It was the same thing as when people were trying to force a title for danakillsu based on the fact he ran one game about the Green Lantern comics. I'd say you, Tar, are a bit more well-known for making mindfuck games in general, not to mention you have a bit more of a legacy with Mind Screw and your other games than AGM does right now. Like I said, the more I think about it, the more I like the title because it has ramifications outside of just "AGM modded a game with nukes in it".


Yeah, funny story - I earned my title very quickly after the end of the first Mind Screw game. (Amusingly enough, the original suggestion for my title ["Sadist"] has grown on me over time.)

Maybe the title meta has changed since then (certainly the Mini Theme queue has, as evidenced by how Mind Screw II started a week after the end of Mind Screw I), but...

Nuclear launch isn't terrible though.


The thing with M.A.D. is that I associate that with Yosarian2, who ran two games called MAD mafia. (yes, mutually assured destruction, not angry or that comedy magazine)


I have been ninjaed by has.
