Yet Another Dance of the Title Fairy: Change Up

[Umbrage]

Shortfuse is subpar, Microfuse is the best IMO. Micromanagement is too long, Micromanager is shorter, easier to read, and gets the point across just as well.

[Umbrage]

Micros & Managers

[Umbrage]

can you have a slightly darker green though?

[Umbrage]

The e thing for Tracey would be really good addition to a title, like adding/removing a letter e from a different title as an in-joke, but on it's own it's just not enough.

[Umbrage]

Oman's just going to start trolling this thread now isn't he?

[Umbrage]

[Umbrage]

I think "They'll Come" is better because it's a direct quote, but still vague, and of course it kinda sounds dirty tee hee hee.

[Umbrage]

Why

not

Hermionelle for Umbrage? That's pretty much all I think of (or see) any time he makes a post.

See, this is the problem.

I don't want a title based on avatars or .gifs, if that's all you can think of then I haven't done anything title-worthy yet.

[Umbrage]

kondi2425

[Umbrage]

Eh he's replaced out of 4 recently but it felt like he had a passable excuse for 3 of them.

Klick ->

It's still kondi, folks

Kondi with better PR

[Umbrage]

Korts' post reminds me of that one episode of Community where Pierce gets kicked out of the group, and then they realize they need him so that he can be the butt monkey whenever they want to make fun of someone. I agree that UN fills a similar role here. (As do I, come to think of it.) He's annoying, but we're united in our dislike of him and he keeps us from turning on each other. So I'm thinking

Lightning Rod

or something like that.

Escape Goat

?

[Umbrage]

I didn't suggest those as an insult, I think UN provides a valuable service in these forums. And he's a pretty nice guy to be around as long as he's not ruining srs bisnis threads.

I guess we could compromise on something like

Accentuate the Positive!

for him. Between his 'I don't want a title that's deprecating in any way' stance, and his constant happy-go-lucky attitude in the forums, he really is a beacon of sunshine and happiness that you often just want to go away and leave you the fuck alone. His greatest flaw is his greatest strength, that he sees the world through a rose-tinted lens.

[Umbrage]

first Om, now UN...

what's with nobody wanting titles that aren't 100% flattering?

gotta protect your e-peen?

[Umbrage]

Which is why I still like

Accentuate the Positive

.

[Umbrage]

The Victor/Victoria reference might work if it was more subtle.

Le Jazz Hot

or something like that?

[Umbrage]

I'm surprised nobody's referenced andycyca's

Gets to kill all spammers

title yet. Maybe Om should have

Wants to kill all spammers

or

Actually kills all spammers

?

EDIT: I mean, Andy's is the only spam-related title I can think of, if we're going with a spam title for Om it should reference Andy's in some way.

andycyca v.2

?

[Umbrage]

no that's all wrong

free candy

if you're going to do it, it's a shitty idea though

[Umbrage]

I dislike username titles in general, and the Umbrage/Umbridge joke in particular. Granger Danger/Danger, Granger makes me chuckle, I'm not sure if it's a good title but I'm not opposed to it.

[Umbrage]

How about Dumb Rage

No username based ones for me please.

[Umbrage]

I don't get why nobody can spell Dolores.

[Umbrage]

UN

no

[Umbrage]

how about

"that guy"

(with or without quotes)

because crypto is always "that guy"

this is really bad

[Umbrage]

2nd hungry for jam

[Umbrage]

is Pie's title still in debate? It's clear to me that good or bad, it's HIS title now, nothing's going to replace it.

[Umbrage]

You know, of all the reasons to reject a title, 'forcing' it seems pretty weak. Every meme has to have a bit of forcing, there has to be people who keep using it again and again in the hopes that it'll catch on. And it has caught on, at this point either Pie gets that as his title or he doesn't get a title until everyone's forgotten it a year from now. Bad or good, that's HIS title now, it's what we'll always associate with him, and it's what any other title will be compared to.

Like it or not, he got that title a long time ago. It is his title, just needs to be made official.

also:

I'm nth'ing

Hard Asses

for buttons. It needs to happen.

[Umbrage]

the ratio of title suggestions to people complaining about bad title suggestions is currently not good

[Umbrage]

I mainly just don't want a pun like Umbrage/Umbridge or a title that ONLY references my username/avatar. What UN suggested is cool. Can't say I'm fond of them, but they're not OMG NO WAI.

[Umbrage]

Wasn't noraaa in the military? Maybe something like

Sgt. Adoraaable

? OK that one's tacky, but IDEAS, people!

[Umbrage]

As much as I like noraaa, and also think she's adorable, I don't think being in the military is even in the top 5 things I'd think of when I think of her.

that was kind of the point

Like it doesn't suit her at all, therefore it's funny and will confuse people who don't know her.

aka the gold standard of titles

[Umbrage]

WOOOOOOO

i am on a gorram roll

Nominate quadz for "

I'll be in your bunk

"

If you don't get this reference, don't reveal your ignorance

forthefactyes

[Umbrage]

Look out for #1

[Umbrage]

Casey Kasem is the only one suggested so far that doesn't sound shoehorned.

[Umbrage]

I'm not feeling it. Maybe a colon instead of the ellipsis?

Survey says:

looks a lot neater.

[Umbrage]

with his new question thread, maybe

Ask the Doctor

or

Trust me, I'm a Doctor

would be more appropriate?

[Umbrage]

anyways if being bad at spelling is title-worthy we're going to have to hand out a lot of titles

[Umbrage]

Oh also, pluralization, because his username is the ThebuttonMEN.

then Hardasses is fine

Hardasss is just bad

[Umbrage]

Hardasses > Untitled Fairy

although either would be fine, really

[Umbrage]

It's a little weird since the title basically relies on the fact that another suggested title for him had the worst "ass" in it and its weird to base a title on another title, but it seems good enough.

this

I would prefer

Gosh Darn It!

for TBM now, but Buns is good too I guess.

[Umbrage]

also Capital Punishment > :HAPPY: for Fate.

titles can be many things, subtle is not one of them

[Umbrage]

It was a serious nom, I just figured I'd get in on the LOL KJ LIKES TS while I was here. I know I'm the last person qualified to judge other people's avatars.

Fearless

has the TS reference, it's not insulting or inflammatory, and it's quite appropriate for someone who goes around declaring their love for a mediocre pop star on here.

[Umbrage]

nth Go with the flow

[Umbrage]

is bad title

I do not see an obvious Dan/chesskid connection

I do not see an obvious Dan/Princeton connection

I do not see an obvious Dan/joy connection

[Umbrage]

hm...

Charlie Chaplin

suits the whole 'reaction .gif without any actual text response' thing? I dunno...

[Umbrage]

People's Choice

Beloved Princess

Prom King

Statistically Significant

MS is my Fan Club

Won a Contest

[Umbrage]

Beloved Princess

I recognize that we're all over the board on this. But I like this one for the mafia tie-in.

surprised that hadn't been suggested yet actually, I had to double check.

[Umbrage]

Majority Rule

Elected President

More popular than Obama

Beauty Queen

High Charisma Stat

You really like me!

Pitt, Clooney, Quadz.

OK I'll stop now.

[Umbrage]

Kickass Princess

[Umbrage]

I think people are trying to give him THE BEST TITLE EVER, which is a mistake. He can always be re-titled if we get something better. Popular! or Beloved Princess are fine titles, and if they were for anyone else there'd be no objections. If titles are deserving, and not users, then any title is 'good enough' for Quadz. It doesn't have to be perfect.

[Umbrage]

I went down a weird route for this. So Im not explaining it, but

nominate quadz for King of the Morlocks

Nth

Please, never explain this. Ever. If we understand it we'll argue about it. Just make it happen and let it remain forever a mystery.

[Umbrage]

jus sayin

[Umbrage]

That's not actually why I wanted to give him that title. In his mafia games, he just loses his shit and goes all caps for paragraphs at a time. Definitely a sassy pants.

I do that too, so do quite a few people

[Umbrage]

I thought it would be funny to give Maestro a title along the lines of

Copycat

or

Loyal Apprentice

due to the long period of time that Maestro spent formulating his entire profile to mirror UberNinja. After that, Maestro helped kickstart the short-lived UN avatar cult .

Just speculating.

UnterNinja

[Umbrage]

Taylor Stiff

either this or Charles Z.

[Umbrage]

Nominate SleepyKrew for

The Rick Sanatorium

Because it's his shtick, which has obviously manifested itself as a long term illness that he's unlikely to ever recover from

This is where he'll be staying

Eh. I like the idea of SK finally getting a title for this, but let's brainstorm a bit first. We can do better than HERE THIS IS KREW'S GIMMICK.

[Umbrage]

nth snark attack

[Umbrage]

perhaps i should add that i think no punctuation is better because his snark is usually deadpan.

[Umbrage]

Nominate

deadpan

for

Thestatusquo

. I've never met this guy (or run into him on the forums for that matter), I've only had one conversation with him -- tonight, in chat -- and a solid 90% of his posts/comments have me cracking up. But it wasn't just this conversation that I pull from. I've seen his posts around the site. It's the style of his posts, the way he slams, berates, or sometimes even compliments can be so sarcastically dry. I just think it fits him very well.

Leslie Nielson

[Umbrage]

I'm fairly sure the phrasing makes the options exclusive.

no because the first and second are contained by the third

[Umbrage]

For Mastin, I suggest something that plays on his attempts to change his style

Shutting up now

could be good, or

if you think THIS is long...

has a nice 'sounds dirty but isn't' feel

[Umbrage]

if you think THIS is long...

I SECOND THIS NOTION

The 2nd one is kind of funny, but he would never go for either of them.

Yeah but that second one is great lol

The 2nd one is kind of funny, but he would never go for either of them.

so can we have mastin give his opinion on this?

or can we do anything title related?

[Umbrage]

this mastin thing has been going on for too long

he wants Tome of Knowledge, give him that and we can all shut up about it

[Umbrage]

nominate Om of the Nom for

Totally Mature

taken from this post: http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.ph ... 5#p5516955

I think it neatly sums up both his youthful 'look at me' persona as well as his growth into a responsible spam remover

like, he actually is pretty mature now, but that chirpy little 12 year old is still there.

idk

[Umbrage]

You realize not everyone can see the speakeasy, riiiight?

A THING THAT IS RELEVANT TO THE TITLE I AM SUGGESTING

to accommodate the usergroups-challenged

EDIT: and Flay.

[Umbrage]

Nominate Tamuz for

I Disagree

based on his habit of always willing to debate anything with anyone anywhere. Most infamously done in the logic puzzle thread.

If you have an opinion, Tamuz will be there taking the opposite side.

Actually, how about

Am I Wrong?

I just rewatched Big Lewbowski and Tamuz's personality really reminds me of Walter.

[Umbrage]

what insult?

[Umbrage]

Umbrage you are trolling we both know it.

To my memory, I haven't trolled since 62 closed.

It's a serious nom, and I consider the capacity for debate a great quality. Tamuz takes it a little far on occasion, but so have I and plenty of great posters.

[Umbrage]

*stuff*

Is there some title I can nom you for that highlights your habit of arguing something tangential to the actual discussion instead of participating in it in a useful way?

I like *stuff*

[Umbrage]

got game?

the only other thing I know about tans is that he's a massive Assassin's Creed fan

so how about

Everything is Permitted

? references his love of VG and AC in particular, and subtly references his repeated rule violations as well.

[Umbrage]

this is pretty much the same idea I had for Tamuz

and really when I think of 'argumentative poster' Psyche is one of the last to come to mind

[Umbrage]

The comment is more on how psyche argues rather than that Psyche argues.

but aside from the multiple letter thinggg I don't see how it's specific to Psyche - I don't read it and think "yup that's definitely Psyche and only Psyche" which is what a title should do

I'm not saying it's awful, but we've barely discussed it. This isn't a case of "holy shit just give this dude a title already so everyone will shut up about it", so there's no reason we should settle for something so bland.

[Umbrage]

this font is super good and incredibly useful, I'm going to use it a lot

[Umbrage]

2smart4u

[Umbrage]

I think all the TPP memes are going to be completely DEAD in a little bit. Not really a good basis for a lasting title unless AP is playing or otherwise involved in TPP.

[Umbrage]

nom Cheery Dog for

Uncool

since I mix him up with CooLDoG

[Umbrage]

I tried to think of a good hot dog pun but it didn't work.

[Umbrage]

Moderately Intelligent

[Umbrage]

I don't recall any rule that says titles can only be given out to the most interesting users
