Dance of the Title Fairy

[MeMe]

I'll take "Post or Perish" again.

Unless someone can figure out how to do italics...then I'd happily take "But I don't

feel

bitchy"

[MeMe]

And we need you to step back into your job, Ningal! I've been trying to cover, but have just been failing miserably.

[MeMe]

I think Macros' should be: Fear the Hobos

I second that!

[MeMe]

Not even

waiting

to see if Macros objects, eh?

[MeMe]

What do you mean, "done"? Where's

my

title?

I feel so left out.

[MeMe]

Yippee -- my flaming ultimatum masquerading as a title is back in place!

Thanks jeep!

[MeMe]

Hmm...

"Confusingly-Named One"?

[MeMe]

CopyKitty!

[MeMe]

Fletcher - Eligible for a title

OK - this makes me laugh.

I vote that Fletcher's title be: "Eligible for a Title" or "Fulfilled Title Requirements" -- but I like the former better.

[MeMe]

Jane! Stop this crazy thing!

[MeMe]

Uh - picture...?

[MeMe]

"with bells on" is a common phrase meaning "flamboyant" -- your picture shows you in a jester hat with bells on it....SaberKitty's suggesting it for your title....shall I keep going?

[MeMe]

DS - I like bloojay's suggestion for you, too.

title suggestion for bloojay (when he's eligible): ingesting twice an hour, every hour.

[MeMe]

From the "what have you ingested in the past half hour" thread -- I think I could write out your entire past week's menu from your updates! (mmm...hair...)

[MeMe]

You know...the dragon? That you slayed? It was THIS big...

[MeMe]

Done! (but I took one liberty...)

can't...stop...laughing...

[MeMe]

Ditto what Dourgrim said. Though I

would

like to point out that being a skilled player and posting every time a wild hair is encountered are not mutually exclusive traits...

[MeMe]

I don't like requiring people to play in a certain type of game. I know a couple of players who steer clear of large games because of the rate of drop-out. Five to six games total (regardless of type) seems fair to me -- all we're after is assurance that they're hooked, right?

[MeMe]

Sugar, mlaker's "just a stuffed dog" is in reference to his role claim in "Trouble in the Toybox."

[MeMe]

Totem -- what about "London's Savior" or "Savior of London"?

[MeMe]

Suggestions:

If I could throw things I would.

or this

It's a cigar...

Though that may be too obscure. Sometimes I think about it and laugh, but without reference it may not be funny. It was in my first game with you and you voted me and said "If you must know why, it's because of that freaky avatar." I said that you must be insecure about your own and you replied the above. Funny.

I also like "On the verge"

[MeMe]

I like it.

[MeMe]

but just read the last 2 pages and weap.

I can read the last two pages...but I'm going to need a description of how one would "weap" before I can

fully

comply...

[MeMe]

I can't answer right now...I'm too busy weeping.

[MeMe]

Seconds that

[MeMe]

The titles are done in groups...so the first players in a group wait a month or two and the last ones in the group aren't waiting nearly as long.

However, bigben, you may have to wait until you complete a couple of games before you're awarded a title. Sugar's the person to with the final say, but I'm pretty sure title eligibility is based more on experience than post count currently.

[MeMe]

Sugar is the title fairy...deciding who

will

get a sig and what it says. Then, when jeep feels like it, he'll actually bestow what she has decreed.

[MeMe]

How about "I Choose not to Title" or "Titleless by Choice" or "I'm an Acquired Taste."

Simian or is there something usable there? ~bites nails~

[MeMe]

Oh...

thank

you!!!! I'll work even

harder

on my next suggestions, CS!

[MeMe]

Did you like my nomination for you MeMe?

Well, yes...but I'm rather fond of "Post or Perish" -- which sums up my general mafia mindset quite nicely. You know...both "I'll die if I don't get my mafia fix!" and "If you don't quit lurking, I'm gonna lynch you."

[MeMe]

theres no f in way.

To get an elephant into a safeway bag...? You're right!

[MeMe]

Maybe you?

[MeMe]

Narninian would be good...but I think mathcam's the candidate we should be backing.

The top post of the queue is easy to ignore because it is, basically, record-keeping and no one's dying to see it updated weekly.

Titles

, however, are a different matter altogether. You check the "bottom of the boards" several times daily, so you'd be attentive. And you're also a mafiascum fixture who's not likely to ever leave, making you PERFECT for the job.

Come on, mathcam. Heed the call.

[MeMe]

Sugar's my sister -- and she's just snowed under at work. I know she'd be happy to have someone else take this over as she's often lamenting how much she misses being able to check anything but the game she's running.

[MeMe]

Yoko - no offense taken.


Jerk.

[MeMe]

Quagmire = Swordosexual

[MeMe]

This.

[MeMe]

And for drummer 97531: Haiku-Impaired

[MeMe]

What

didn't

Sugar do to Fletcher? That's what

I

wanna know.

Ewwwww....Sugar is Fletcher's

aunt

.

[MeMe]

I vote Sworda

[MeMe]

Wow - it's been a really long time since any titles were given...are we going to have a new wave soon?

[MeMe]

You whiners. Happy now?

[MeMe]

I vote "I didn't get a role."

I still think of that and laugh sometimes....but that could have more to do with mathcam's "for what it's worth, I didn't get a role either" response to you.

[MeMe]

Exactly -- it's an old board reference.

spork popped up and posted things like "can I play" in several games and the suggested title line "I didn't get a role" in one that had been finished for months...mathcam replied...and I found myself cursing him between giggles for forcing me to leave the computer for paper towels & windex.

[MeMe]

Well, technically he's

been

banned (as flatulant). He's just been reincarnated.

Yay?

[MeMe]

I've been demoted to "Lady in Waiting of Mafia."

[MeMe]

Or, simply, "i got confused." hehe.

I still like "I didn't get a role" best for him, though.

[MeMe]

Quagmire - Sworda Sexual (I can't believe I just wrote that)

Hehe. This is the one I'm most excited about.

[MeMe]

Not like

that

.

[MeMe]

I think it's hella-funny -- and, coupled with your avatar, it's sure to send me into a fit of giggles every time you post.

Me? I enjoy laughing.

[MeMe]

Didn't we institute the policy that titles were to be conferred only on those with both enough posts

and

enough time on the site? I remember that we were going for a way to prevent members from spamming just to get a quick title.

I'm not in the mood to slog through the whole thread to find out what the requirement is, but I'm pretty sure mol42 hasn't hit it yet.

[MeMe]

Nope. That's the very

limit

of our subtlety.

Plus it makes me giggle.

[MeMe]

I thought that was just an little aside from PB...not an actual part of the title.

edit: oh! ha! I just saw you'd applied it already to Quag!

[MeMe]

How about "Title Dictator" for PolarBoy?

[MeMe]

Well, it

used

to be a fun thing.

[MeMe]

LGHS? What the hell?

I have

no

idea.

[MeMe]

Really - I don't remember too much about the actual LGHS story. I do recall that I was a Man in Black and and had found Dourgrim to be or something (the investigation/death results were given in smileys). He confessed to being an alien -- a "Little Green Human Sympathizer" to be exact -- but that his mission on earth was to serve us, not kill us...

One of those horrible "big crash" losses. That was an incredibly fun game run by gslamm.

[MeMe]

sycko -- PolarBoy's in charge of titles and you've probably screwed yourself out of the possibility of getting one by requesting one. Sorry.

Scummer1: I want a title. Make it "Generic Title"
PolarBoy: No.
Scummer1: Why not?
PolarBoy: Read my titling policy.
Scummer1: That's not fair!
Scummer2: How about "That's not fair!" for Scummer1?
The mob:Yes! That's perfect!
(

PolarBoy sighs.

)

[MeMe]

And how 'bout "No one answers me" for sycko?

Calm down, PB. It's a joke.

[MeMe]

I, again, nominate mathcam for the position of Title Fairy.

He's been here for over two years...and I don't think we're in any danger of him abandoning us or not being conscientious in his fairy-duties.

CAM FOR TF!

[MeMe]

I'm voting against changing Quagmire's title. The one he has still makes me laugh.

(and yay Cam!)

[MeMe]

I agree with what I

think

Phoebus is saying... which is not what I think meaning of life thinks he's saying.

Yep.

[MeMe]

First - I can't imagine Phoebus every saying "fucking hyper and shit."

Second - (and I'm purely guessing here) -- I thought that he was suggesting your title remain "Mafia Scum."

[MeMe]

oh - yippee! It's so

fun

when I don't notice that a horrible-looking post is going to be the first on a new page...it's a little post-submission surprise.

[MeMe]

Nominate Phoebus for "Hall Monitor" -- keeping us all in line!

And, in case there's any question, that's an affectionate suggestion.

[MeMe]

@ mole (& thirded!)

[MeMe]

hehe, Flay!

I like the "F" the white title, if it's not too long.

[MeMe]

OK - what's the hold up here?

Could mathcam be taught how to program in titles himself? It's not as though he'd abuse it and they'd probably get done faster that way!

[MeMe]

I prefer to have people nominate themselves rather than let this thread die. Let's not scare people away from posting in here.

I agree, Tal. And I've been negligent in the nomination department. Great things happen all the time in games etc. and it'd make things much more fun if we'd all try to nominate when there's opportunity.

To put my money where my mouth is: I nominate

EmpTyger

for "It was a JOKE" -- a reference to Mini #167 (Les Miserables).

[MeMe]

I'll counter that nomination for

inHimshallibe

...I rather like "Know-It-All" for his incredible streak in SmartyPants -- not missing a guess yet over dozens of categories.

[MeMe]

Extremely well said, Talitha.

And I think Cam's got this under control -- better lots of suggestions through which to sift than almost none.

[MeMe]

I nominate Phoebus for "Benign Despot."

[MeMe]

He's got his minions pointing out my mistakes left and right in the queues already, Tally...

[MeMe]

nomination for big_k: "Muscle Bound"

(for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about -- check the wiki entry for jeepfest and look for a quote by kahunia)

[MeMe]

Oh stop it.

[MeMe]

Nomination:

Mr Stoofer - n00b

Oh, I could go for that. Or maybe "Pseudo-n00b"? or "Less Than Scum"?

[MeMe]

I hate the thought of saying goodbye to Cad's "twentythreeth."

And I think "less than scum" is funnier than "most experienced n00b." So there.

Thok -- what the heck does "out-booyahed" mean? What's the 'scum reference?

[MeMe]

Ha!

Brainstorm time...

[MeMe]

Now that's worthy of a "second."

[MeMe]

And I'm sad not to see

Emptyger - It's a JOKE!

on the list.

Me too.

[MeMe]

Indeed...spill, Talitha.

[MeMe]

Good one, Cad!

I'll second that for MMCL & place my vote for "Intimate Stranger" over "Muscle Bound" for big_k.

[MeMe]

Greedy boy! You've

already

been blessed by the Title Fairy.

[MeMe]

Nominate Coron for "Whipping Boy" (or even "MeMe's personal Whipping Boy" ).

[MeMe]

Yeah, the kenny is not something you'd normally like to win... just like a golden globe.

First laugh I've had on the site all day!

[MeMe]

PM it to me and I'll suggest it. If it's any good, that is.

[MeMe]

Oh! Sorry! I

completely

forgot to do that.

[MeMe]

Or - "Yep. Again."

I like this. Subtle -- but we'll know what it means.

[MeMe]

That's hilarious. Seconded.

[MeMe]

Nicely said, Talitha. I agree.

[MeMe]

All you need now is a friend in a high place.

[MeMe]

Doesn't it make you happy to be a trendsetter?

[MeMe]

I read that title with the inflection that Dane Cook uses for "Didja hear about Mary? A

tire

...hit her IN THE

FACE

."

Just thought I'd say.

[MeMe]

Don't touch me, you drink. Don't touch me, you giant beverage.

~giggles uncontrollably~
