Dance of the Title Fairy

[Stewie]

Crola, I'm pretty sure that mole's title has a relevant meaning. In fact, I think that the only person with an irrelevant title is me, but that's because I'm special.

[Phoebus]

Wow Crola!
Finger pointing? Nice.

As Yaw said, it was the result of a rant by mith. I'll let mole tell the story.

And as far as relevance goes....those titles are the result of "earlier days" when people did not pander for titles which made rules unnecessary. Now there *are* rules in place, I wonder why...

Also, titles are a matter of public opinion or we would not have the nominating, seconding requirements in place.
mole's and Stewie's titles were before my time, so I cannot comment on them.
On current suggestions, I can.
Actually, Cam is the final authority on this. Send him a few virgins and take your chances. I can't be sure halfpint would approve though. Isn't there something about kicking and scratching in her sig?


Wow! I wonder if I'm being bitchslapped by the terrific teens!

psycho: So warp lurks in his games?
I'm sorry, I see no reason to reward such behaviour with a title.

LOL.

I think the policy on the Wiki says it all. Pandering is generally frowned on, but goodness of title will usually take precedence over anything else.

So, as Phoebus is saying, titles probably won't be given to generic things that many scummers share, especially negative ones like lurking or lack of coherency.

I'll compile a list of nominations in the next day or two.

I just read through this and have to say: Crola, it's obvious you haven't been around for very long. Your examples were poor.

[Mr. Flay]

I dunno, for Yaw all I'm coming up with is "Tentacle Monster" for his icon, and I don't think that's good enough... have to play more games with him.

I still don't get Pie_is_good's anagram (was it used in a game), but I think his (her?) should perhaps reference the fact that everyone confuses what gender he (she?) is...or isn't...or at least they used to last time I played with him (her). "Pie_is_male"? Maybe I'm behind the times...

[halfpint]

Can't we just call Pie_is_good "poisonous pie"? It's in his sig and was used in the kidvitational game.

Yeah, well, I'll nominate him for this.

They're crocodiles.

[Save The Dragons]

I was wondering about that, myself.

I nominate "They're Crocodiles" if you want that.

[jeep]

Title's really shouldn't be tied to an avatar, IMO.

Aw, come on.

[Narninian]

They're crocodiles.

I had NO idea.... I thought it was just some random shape..

[halo freak]

LOL @ quag

[Pie_is_good]

I always took Yaw's avatar as a cult symbol, because I really had no idea otherwise, and I thought Yaw would be an entertaining cult leader.

How do you tell if a pie is male or female? Look under the avatar...

[Mr. Flay]

How do you tell if a pie is male or female? Look under the avatar...

Bah; that's crazy talk!

They're crocodiles.

You're kidding. Right? All I could come up with was a cross of calatrava, and that seemed rather unlikely.

Crocodiles. Huh. Well, unlike Quagmire's, I have no idea how long you've had that avatar, so I can't say if it'd be appropriate... the only thing that's coming to mind right now are airplane jokes (Yaw...pitch..etc)

[halo freak]

airplane jokes (Yaw...pitch..etc)

i think tha\t would go in the 'in jokes' cartagory. Good idea all the same

How the mole Got His Title

by Rudyard Kipling

Before this world was created, the mole and the mith and the Internet Stranger and all of the other animals who now make their homes here lived in a land of Grey. Now, as you can imagine, Grey is hardly captivating material to make a world out of, so the Dragon Phoenix (a Fantastic Beast, but also a surprising violent one at times) used to entertain the animals by swooping down very low and burning the things on the ground, and also by arranging games, in which the animals would laugh and dance as they tried to murder each other. What fun!

One day, the Dragon Phoenix had a particularly Fantastic Idea--as he was wont to do, being a Fantastic Beast--and he gathered everyone together to play a game.

To the mith, he said, "You can trust the mole." But then he turned the the mole, and told him to kill everyone! And after this he swooped around with glee and burned everything in sight, to celebrate his wonderful idea.

The mole and his friends turned out to be most successful at killing the other animals. Between them they slew the Antrax and the Samadhi and even the grey land's mysteriousl Soothsayer. But then one day the time came for the mole to kill his friend the mith. When he found out about this, well after the mole had killed everyone, the mith was very upset. (Wouldn't you be, if you were killed?)

Many year later, after the land of Grey was left behind and the mole's feat had become legend, a strange quercitron wanted to bring together all the best killers and have them play another game. The quercitron was very excited about this Prospect, and spent hours writing Invitations and creating a Survey for everyone to complete.

Now, the quercitron had taken a great interest in the mole's story, and included on this Survey a question about the legend, hoping to find out what the others thought of it. Unfortunately, it also happened to rekindle the mith's anger, which caused him to reply to the quercitron with a terrible and destructive Rant that shook the world and was heard for miles around:

"die die suck die suck die mole sucks die die die die evil die suck scum scum die list list list bow die die suck suck suck"

Soon after he heard the mith's wrath, the mole was struck in the head by a piece of the Rant, for it had, after all, been directed at him. Seeing how it was a Symbol (of sorts) of what he and the Dragon Phoenix had accomplished in the land of Grey, he picked it up from the ground and has carried it ever since.

[Save The Dragons]

That was beautiful.

[Narninian]

I want to see Mith go on a rant...

[Dmi]

Could someone post a link to that game?

[Crola]

I loved the story, but Kipling is a Goddamn racist. (Not that there was any racism in your story Mole.)

[Phoebus]

Ofcourse there was.
Why does the Dragon Phoenix get to be Fantastic?

All animals are equal, comrade!

[shelper]

They're crocodiles.

It was a snowflake to me.
If we could title somebody based on avatars, yaw's would definately be

mr. Rorschach.

[Phoebus]

Ha!

[PolarBoy]

Ofcourse there was.
Why does the Dragon Phoenix get to be Fantastic?

All animals are equal, comrade!

But some animals are more equal than others. By the way, I wikified the story, just because it was so great.

[mathcam]

Titles up for consideration:

Phoebus - Hall Monitor
JDTay - n00b hoser
BlueSin - Unique
rolandofthewhite - F. the white!

Pending any objections, I'll have JEEP finalize them.
