This is an old forum legend and has always been wrong. More 'old' scummers have titles because they've been around longer, but there's still onlyyabbaguy wrote:+1 shaft.ed.
Barring a reputation for notoriety, didn't just about everyone from the early days of MS get a title after enough time on the forums? Seems like it was almost an effortless thing then. What changed?

Oh look, JDodge is bent out of shape and argumentative. Nominate JDodge forAccept it.
Look, the way this title suggestion was brought to the community originally, sucked. Trying to reverse-engineer it into a scumchat reference is thin, at best. You may not like it, but Omanhasbeen vested with a certain amount of discretionary power when it comes to Titles. He's been (much like his similarly-reviled predecessor) encouraging and discussing to what I consider a frankly ridiculous degree, considering the amount of abuse he gets for volunteering to do this.Retired as of October 2014.- Mr. Flay

Pretty sure your old Professor Paragon scummy image is still around somewhere, if that's what you're after...Vi wrote:
I guess I could throw that in but that would involve more effort than hotlinking Hoopla's scummiesThat is so win. And yeah, where's your Paragon?
I was hoping I could catch the cake too but that was a separate image.
"Best Town Professor Paragon Mechanic Behind the Scenes".So Vi's title changes to 'Best town mechanic behind the scenes' next year then right? >_>
If I keep going with this my title will either take up three lines or stretch the sidebar across half the page.Retired as of October 2014.- Mr. Flay

Have you ever played with Thor before? Healwaysmakes references to the beard in his avatar, and it's caught on with other players. It's definitely the most distinctive feature of his posting style.
Yes, I have. I find him a quite good player, but that must have been pre-beard., And if he's driving the gimmick himself, why does he need to have a title that does the same thing?
Seems avatar/username related. Meh.Retired as of October 2014.- Mr. Flay

Agreed; plus, Vi really embodied it.Oman wrote:I'd prefer to leave Paragon of Mafia Hunters as a scummy title, and simply make reference. I'm not happy with the title system working as a "bypass" of the scummies. I've thought about this since Vi's title, and I felt that was unique (at the time, at least). Feel free to call me out.
We need to get your admin rights sorted out someday (still). Anyway, I'll add the other two titles tonight once I get off the road.Retired as of October 2014.- Mr. Flay

It's not just "one thread". It's THE archetypal RC thread, and specifically made by him for people to remind him when he is behaving badly.
I actually don't want it to be a link, because that will focus too much attention to that space. But he apparently still needs the reminder.Retired as of October 2014.- Mr. Flay

That was Scummie-based... unless he originated it. *goes back to check the old TF threads*
Ooookay, that was confusing. It was mentioned/nominated in the 2003-2006 thread, but he never got it (as evidenced by Fritzler's pop quiz on page 93). It also doesn't seem to be awarded in the Thok-era TF thread. It was already the name of the award for the 2003 Scummies... but he never 'won' it... AHA! hadn't gone back far enough. It dates back to when titles were self-nominated, before the original crash... that's kind of hilarious, actually. ::edit:: And Orbiting informs me that that was his title back on Grey Labyrinth, too, before there was even a MafiaScum.

False. There's a long-term retirement bump, but the longer you're on site the longer you tend to stay, in general. Most dropoffs happen in the first couple of months.
