These titles are meant to be fun and sign of acceptance, a welcoming in the group you could say. However, isn't better to be known for your general characteristics of your playing style than for some title. If one's title is a fair expression of that, fine. But having a title is not the zenith of the peak. The title "mafia scum" is fine for me. I agree with Phoebus that title should be relevant to general matters and not to obscurities. I believe there is room for "fun" things, you could say. In the three cases mentioned above, I would have to vote NO for them.
And more often that not, you get a title for something stupid you've said. So while it does in some sense represent acceptance to the site, it's also often self-deprecating.
In any case, I'm going to nominate warpdragon for "But mathcam said!" or something to that extent. See his signature if you don't know what I"m talking about.
I dunno, I'd almost want to give W_W something like "nevermind..." in small text, for the way she rambles on and then tells us to disregard whatever it was (rl, tv show, the weather, etc) that had nothing to do with the game...it's pretty funny, she does it nearly every time.

what happened to this rule? Seems like everybody is pandering for a title now...

I come back to this forum, and there are all these new rules, and people expect me to actually read them? I mean, come on! I've never followed the rules before, I don't know why I should start now. ;p

What's the hurry? What's the desperation?
Can't you wait for something amusing to happen on site to have a meaningful/funny/relevant title?
I can cite my own example. It took 1200 posts. What's the glamour about a few words beneath your nickname?
Warpdragons's suggested title.
We haven't seen his pic, nor met him. That's a personal issue off site.
"Too short to post?" wth?
How is it relevant to
mafiascum
Same for sycko:
That's a song he likes. Yay!
Well. Relevance to
this site
please?
Crola: self suggestion?
Fantastic.
Hahahah! I'm sorry, but I found this post funny. You said the title should be relevant to mafiascum, yet many of the titles I've seen have nothing to do with the site, such as Mole's "Die suck die"
I don't know if you were being sarcastic to me considering I can't spot in real life, and even less in writing.
Also, Warpdragin is short in real life, no picture required.
I guess I'll hold off on a title for now unless I can get some suggestions

To add to Crola's post, when you play in a game with Warpy, he doesn't post, so that makes him "too short to post"...haha get it? Or do you have no sense of humor?

I wasn't around when mole got his, and would have voted against such a beast at the time, *unless* it's a quote from a game, which I suspect. It's awfully random to be an "in joke".
the result of a rant Antrax or mith gave upon being lynched. I'm sure mole can dig up the exact wording of the abuse hurled in his direction, but "die suck die" was a part of it.
And I haven't pandered for a title, but then again, I don't have one. Make of that what you will.
