In post 435, Shaziro wrote:Nom Aristophanes: Mr. Brightside
He's very cheerful in my experience, and is always looking on the bright side of things. Add to that the musical reference since he seems to prefer titles with puns or references, I figure it's a slam dunk for him.In post 449, mastina wrote:
[...]I feel like that ability to write a spin on things is part of Aristophanes's charm; he can support something that would otherwise superficially be negative, and make it clear he is supporting it because he sees it as a positive thing.In post 439, Psyche wrote:what does the reference to the killers song do?
wikipedia says that lyrically the song depicts the jealousy and paranoia of a man who suspects his significant other is cheating on him
despite the name "Mr. Brightside" it seems like the exact opposite of the kind of point you're trying to make
That makes the song reference a perfect fit for his character--the song might officially have a negative connotation with it, but Aristophanes is the type of guy who can put a positive spin on it such that it is agoodthing, matching the upbeat nature of the song's tune rather than the literal nature of the song's given meaning.
So Inththe Aristophanes title.Re-nominate "Mr. Brightside" for Aristophanes.
I actually believe Mr Brightside is:
- A better (more recognisable) song reference (and a better song)
- A more communicative reference
- A more appropriate, funny and relevant description
Plus I agree with the people who proposed Mr Brightside in the first place. It speaks directly to the fact that, whenever confronted with the vitriol that is EVERYWHERE on this site, Ari either:
- Counters by pointing out bright sides of situations
- Counters by trying really really hard to find the inkling of a bright side
- or if the vitriol is especially harsh/dickish/uncalled for, counters with a passive aggressive yet completely polite takedown that basically conjures the image of Ari smiling through gritted teeth.
So yeah. I know Mr Blue Sky hasn't lived too long, but Mr Brightside was the right call.-

Absolutely not. I was fervently against it last time and even more fervently against it this time considering all the stuff from the Relationships thread and I think it's kind of fucked to bring it back up in lieu of that.
Also, you're wrong about the reference being better (neither are references, really, it's just the title of the song), and definitely wrong about being a better song.Sometimes a sandwich is just a sandwich.-

I agree with Panzer. The Mr. Brightside nom seems kind of like a slap in the face to Ari, all things considered. And even if we take out the deeper context of the song lyrics, the two titles are so similar in name as to not be worth replacing one with the other.In post 4962, PJ. wrote:Absolutely not.

wait
if 3 rights make a left
and panzer is right
then there are 3 panzers in a left
and if left 4 dead
then there are 4 deads in a left
red dead redemption 2 is coming out
so there's 2 redemptions in a red dead
dead is half of red dead (approx, difference is negligible in this calculation)
so the dead:redemption ratio is 1:1
so that's 4 redemptions in each left, and 3 panzers in each left
so thats 4 redemptions in 3 panzers, making each panzer contain 1.33 redemptions!
according to this the cost of a redemption can vary by bank however the example they give is 2% of your initial investment, which we can safely assume to be close to the standard.
1.33*2=2.66%
Therefore panzer is equivalent to 2.66% of your investment.
