It's a good thing this was all a joke that I missed by like 4 days because I would have had to make a very lengthy post turning this down and wondering why this was proposed for me at all and also been disappointed that this was the best anyone could finally think of for me after like 3 years, but also internally so grateful that someone finally remembered that I exist
it's clever and even if a bit obscure isn't like, 100% inside joke with no meaning to anyone not "in on it" or whatever.
Incorrect.
Furthermore, y'know, I've been dooting with the best of them but I really don't understand why Vonflare is "Doot". Does he in particular have an affinity for spooky scary skeletons? Is this notable? Is he any more a dooter than I am? Why aren't I "Doot"? Why isn't anyone else "Doot"?

That's what you get with this new age generation and their entitlement issues
Psyche's "hey come discuss" attitude is what gets you 100s of pages of people suggest dumb stuff like "doot" and "salmon! because salmon!" over and over and over. Psyche didn't learn from his predecessor's mistakes.
i considered the alternative but then when the thread was dead for two days i felt sad and lonely
What's the alternative? No one allowed to talk, thread is locked and you are arbiter of all decisions?

All noms are bad. The entirety of this thread is people focusing more on trying to feel clever than they are actually trying to give noms that properly take stock of other people's traits and what they give to the community.

I know Annie Get Your Gun is a musical, and I don't know much about it, but that's not the point here.
Annie refers to RC's Annie obsession and Annie from LoL somewhat is how I would describe RC.
the "Get Your Gun" part reers to RC's play and his ability to sweep as town or destroy towns ingame.
There you go, shoehorn in the idea that it's a vigilante reference to even though I know nothing about rc and vigs

I maintain that people are more concerned with brute forcing their pet ideas through than they are actually coming up with an appropriate title for the recipient / work shopping good ideas with others feedback/criticism and I will continue to be really mean about it

1. Mafia isn't actually fun
2. Somewhere during my hiatus between the last hurrah of late 2016 and the present day, everyone become dainty little flowers that you can't argue with or you'll hurt their fee-fee's, and yet I don't see the change in the rules that made this so or what the line is so I just don't want to bother anymore and assume it was a cultural shift into weenie-ville

I like your understanding of aesthetic but who's going to go to the trouble of going through the dusty tomes of ms history to update all the banned users
In post 2748, PJ. wrote:can we at least try to be clever then "haha they are banned so BANNNED!!!" in this weird hypothetical.
It's not about being clever, it's about being able to identify banned users as such. It's a utility thing
Or at least that's what I was getting out of it
Except that's pretty easily identifiable cause they've either A) been banned so long that you don't see their post unless you're looking for them or B) recent enough that you know without needing a big red identifier.
and as pysche already suggested, it isn't "artful"
This is irrelevant..?
And we probably shouldn't be rewarding banned users with a clever "artful" title trophy either

In post 2766, PJ. wrote:Except 90% of everyone on site wears a "uniform". Giving them a bland "banned" is still a cool custom title that would be exclusive to a subset of users that is smaller than "mafia scum" title group. "Weep for me not" would still be a "uniform" but at least it would artful and representative of the site
P.S cybele also not dead.
I guess but it's also not readily understood by everyone

I don't understand the resistance to this
If someone wanted to make a button that appeared in every post and it said "click me" In comic sans and when you clicked it it made a fart noise I would support it because it's more and more is always better

Dude I just want to be able to tell at a glance that someone got banned
Actually, I don't even. I just think it would be neat and there would be utility in it and if *insert current title fairies name here* felt like doing it moving forward I would nod and smile and then sip my coffee and go back to doing whatever it was I was doing before I was nodding and smiling and sipping my coffee

In post 2799, Davsto wrote:To be fair elbirn what you're saying is pretty silly
Except it really isn't
I see a utility in a thing
But davsto decides there isn't so I guess that, just like that, there must not be!
Then Psyche et all decide that what I'm saying is "let's make fun of banned users" when that is clearly not the intention
But then Panzer, who had previously been arguing against it, picks that up and runs with it to make it part of his personal agenda of "everyone else should stop being offended ever I'm panzer"
Like what even is this conversation?
This isn't even remotely important in the slightest but I'd have been happier if Psyche would have just said "hey, I just don't want to do that" rather than the past several pages of shitposting

Aside from the extreme meta that is you force memeing this and me calling it out, it's just not an appropriate title and I don't feel like it reflects my personality in any way. If Psyche did offer it I'd probably turn it down.

Every time that I read "Open Book" under BBmolla's name I will think to myself "what book am I being commanded to open where is it why won't anyone help me who funded this"
Whereas every time I read "An Open Book" under BBmolla's name I will go "ah, that is a reference to a metaphor which quite nicely fits that fine fellow BBmolla's personality and sums up a substantial part of his contributions to this website upon which we play a text based version of a 70 year old parlor game because we do not have real friends no not a single one"

Wait.. maybe we're onto something here. Everyone on this site knows about Elbirn's penchant for painstakingly correct grammar and spelling. Maybe this could be the long awaited title for Elbirn that we've all been searching for?
Yes.. it's all falling into place now. All we need to do is get the ball rolling on some really good ideas and I think we should have yet another amazing title. I have an idea that may be just the ticket for this -
Nominate Elbirn for Spell in a Cell
The many many layers of meaning behind this nomination should be obvious, but just in case you don't understand greatest when it's presented to you, allow me to break this down:
I don't think "Elbirn is a grammar nazi" has ever been a thing but thanks for making me too self conscious to ever offer criticism
I had actually once considered having a really meta/ironic thread about how we're all illiterate apes who never end their sentences with proper punctuation but thought that only I would enjoy it
