Please don't ban me, this is actually a serious suggestion with actual circumstances beyond the initial backing for it.

Nominate drmyshottyizsik for the title of "BUSSED SO HARD"

.

For what happened here.
To clarify, shotty was town. He got told by the mod more information than he should have been given.
This would have been nothing if the mod had confirmed his story...but the mod explicitly denied the error, which rendered shotty as "confirmed scum".

As a result, shotty got lynched, mostly by the town.

Over the course of the day, we also learned that there were other things going on in his life: a cop pulled him over for no logical reason, so beyond being bussed by his scumbuddies in one game (actually, there's now a second), he was bussed by the MOD (an impressive, unique feat), bussed by REAL LIFE COPS, and bussed by the town.

I genuinely, legitimately think this is a noteworthy event.

holy shit that is an atrocious mod


like, actually awful

remind me to never ever ever ever ever play a game by this mod ever

[Davsto]

nonono silly Psyche you have to nom him for a new title duh

[Davsto]

nominate Kublai Khan for

Mafia Scum

[Davsto]

nevermind he's actually a Survivor

He's made like 12000 posts but the "how many posts has this user made" on this site is broken as all fuck and said he'd only made like 4000 posts

[Davsto]

Ahh I'm sorry for expecting a number labelled as "total posts" to display the total number of posts sitewide and not an entirely different figure

[Davsto]

nevermind he's actually a Survivor

He's made like 12000 posts but the "how many posts has this user made" on this site is broken as all fuck and said he'd only made like 4000 posts

wait scratch that hiplop fixed my brain and I was right with Mafia Scum

[Davsto]

Meanwhile, the title will remain up for discussion for about 48 extra hours, to work out any remaining discussions and issues.

Hey look it's exactly what this extra time is for..?

I don't see how a discussion that is literally to do with your name has "nothing to do with your title". It hasn't already been passed, that's why there's the 48-hour discussion period. It is not only fine but literally set up for people to bring stuff like that up in this time, as it is relevant to the title and its appropriateness.

Expert Marxman?

Expert Marxman?

Nth

You can always count on Davsto! ")

Expert Marxman?

nth!

i like Expert Marxman a lot

Nth Expert Marxman

I like it. And I think Bro probably will like it better than Shade Brigade.

Nth Expert Marxman

I like it. And I think Bro probably will like it better than Shade Brigade.

Yeah, Expert Marxman is the best of all possible titles for BRO.

Is this 5 nths then?

I mean a couple of these are indirect but they're implicitly nths imo

[Davsto]

Given the recent examination of how often BRO uses "Savage", maybe Savage Marxman?

Eh

I've never heard the term "Savage Marksman" used so it just seems unnatural and a little forced compared to the play on "Expert Marksman".

[Davsto]

McMenno

McMeemo

These types of titles do not work.

I mean

I'd argue that the reason this title does not work is because it's awful

[Davsto]

not that long ago.

a year?

[Davsto]

After thinking about it, I would say beefboy would better remain as an inside joke/site meme which would:

a. Look dumb under his name everywhere on the forum
b. Try to make a silly joke official in a way that'd sap its charm
c. It says nothing about who beeboy is or what he does

woah zakk wtf are you doing making good contributions to this thread

[Davsto]

isn't every title technically an in-joke to an extent?

considering you likely only understand it when you know the person etc

[Davsto]

congrats guys you fully nominated a satire post which was mocking everyone nominating titles that shitty

10/10

What has happened to mafia scum dot net

[Davsto]

they both have dicks.

you

sure

all humans have dicks?

[Davsto]

That would be a terrible idea if it weren't so obviously not serious

Regardless, I second the notion, being one of the Supreme Title Beings^TM myself.

[Davsto]

I'm pretty sure they can explicitly say "no" before receiving nths just to save time

[Davsto]

see the thing is, the key element of a joke is being funny

[Davsto]

Oh no not minors

However will they dig out coal after seeing that??

[Davsto]

Nominate ConManMick for

Dear Diary

Think it's fair to say that these drunkposts of his are rather unique and well-known

Although maybe the title

Diar Deary

would work better to show the drunkenness as well, I'll let others decide.

[Davsto]

Kublai, you're not a mod any more. You seem to still act like you have authority - this is hardly the first time I've seen you post in a thread as if you were a mod dictating how things should run despite having quit. You gave up your dictating power when you gave up your modship.

[Davsto]

I made one tho

[Davsto]

KHAAAAAN

[Davsto]

Around 48 hours from when your title was approved, you'll get a PM asking you whether or not you want it, you reply "yes" or "no" and bam

Lures prey into its mouth with a honeylike aroma. The helpless prey is melted with a dissolving fluid.

I got Weepinbell (I'm terrible at rigging my own quizzes to get me Absol apparently), but I want to know what you guys got!

Technically that's a Victreebel entry, not Weepinbell, but good enough. Nominate animorpherv1 for

Honey Trap

.

While I'd admit that's clever

I mean

It

was

chamber and Kison who made the quiz. I don't really know how much input Animorpherv had beside posting it. I'm not against him getting credit, but I'd hardly consider that title worthy.

Sorry, but anti-nom.

[Davsto]

Hey I started anti-nomming where's my credit :c

[Davsto]

Gj dav, keep up the good work

ily

[Davsto]

I mean as much as these Accountant titles may represent him and his personality and views, they really come across as sarcastic jabs rather than anything appreciative. I mean, literally comparing him to the crusades in his title? Titles should be commemorative. This comes across as little less than bullying.

Can I anti-nom by default any Accountant titles referring to his moral views? If so, that please.

[Davsto]

Reject

Deus Vult

. I mostly agree with Davsto and Psyche on this issue. Accountant's outlook on the world is certainly notable, but it's not something to commemorate. Frankly, I think he's caused a lot people needless agony due to his uncompromising nature. I can't think of a time where it was a joy rather than a point of stress.

Fuck literally everything about that.

I don't say that because I personally like the title, I say this as a former title fairy, fuck that rational so very fucking hard. You don't fucking get to play favourites, I don't care if you think Accountant is the biggest piece of shit since Genghis Khan decided to take the mongols on a road trip. It's notable, it's got lasting appeal and it's so very very strongly resonates with him. Get the fuck off your high horse you unbelievable arrogant piece of shit, we don't bother doing the job to get to decide who's beliefs are "worthy" of a title or who's posting we like enough to reward.

Is it a good title yes or no? The second start adding anything else to the decision process then its time to hang up your hat and give the role to some new blood because you've stopped doing it as a service to the site and started doing it to stroke your own ego.

I think you may have slightly misread what Chevre said. When he said about "causing people a lot of needless agony", he's not talking about Accountant in general, he's talking about Accountant's views. Hence why "I can't think of a time where

it

was a joy rather than a point of stress".

And as a result of the way people generally react to Accountant views, the title becomes inappropriate. Especially since those suggesting the title such as Shaziro are those that seem to have been annoyed and frustrated the most by Accountant's views and arguments with him, so that makes me doubt any sincerity in the suggestion of the title itself. The purpose of a title is to celebrate the trait that it represents, not to just acknowledge its existence, and definitely not to subtly (or not-so-subtly) criticise it, such as by the title

literally referencing the Crusades

.

(Also, "lasting appeal" is a pretty arguable term when this is probably the title I've seen the most anti-noms for, ever).

[Davsto]

he's talking about Accountant's views

correct

the title fairys job is not to judge whos views are acceptable or worth rewarding

thats hubris of an extent that needs to be squashed

Okay let me put it a different way

> Virtually every single person I've seen on this forum reacts with disdain to a proportion of Accountant's views when he discusses them, particularly the ones that lead to this title being nominated.
> Shaziro, who suggested the nom, is one of the ones who has shown the most disdain.
> The title is a reference to the Crusades. The Crusades! A series of religious wars where approximately 1.7 million people were killed.

Can you tell me, in all honesty and seirousness, that this is a "good" title? One that isn't intended to insult or degrade? One that is intended as a "gift" to someone that "possess notable traits or quirks that make them outstanding members of the community"?

Admittedly, it's not up to Chevre to decide whose views are acceptable. But that's

not what he's doing

. He's saying that the title is unacceptable

because it is not a positive representation of Accountant's views

regardless of how much he agrees, something which can be told by looking at the people supporting the title and then looking at how they feel about Accountant's views.

[Davsto]

Yes.

So you're saying that a title which compares a user's views to the Crusades is a good title? That it is meant to commemorate and celebrate those views? Because if so, you have a pretty twisted notion of celebration.

I can't be arsed to discuss this with you, since you're clearly not backing down despite all logic, because putting down Chevre is more important to you than making sense apparently.

I'm out.

fuckin puns innit

[Davsto]

I just don't feel the attitude should be "wow this user deserves a title let's think of an attribute of theirs which deserves one". At the very least, what part of the user should get the title should be fairly well-established before discussions on the exact title should begin.

I mean, I'm not an arbitrator so feel free to ignore me, but I feel that if a user doesn't have an obvious trait for the title, maybe it's better to wait until one is present rather than forcing a title out

[Davsto]

Don't tell me we're actually nomming a title based on something someone did that wasn't even on this site

Right?

[Davsto]

damn i wish there was something wrong with this title so i could make another negative post in this thread

5th

[Davsto]

How dare you disrespect the good name of pun

My brain wants to agree with you but my heart is telling me that a pun manages to make a title so much more interesting regardless of its necessity

[Davsto]

He'd be very good at downwards scaling cliffs through rappelling

[Davsto]

I'm not sure

I never really used to be a pun (or really even vaguely amusing tbh) person until I was a member of the chat for my old site I used to be a part of and made a pun once or twice. I then became "the pun guy", and found that making puns in there started to come more naturally to me. Join this site and the pun thing is part of my character from the start, along with more general humour. This has now seeped into my real life personality and I make people laugh and also exasperated by humour and puns

I'm not entirely sure of the relevance, that just sorta happens, but there's a rare insight into me

How fun

Maybe it's more of a Spidey sense? I've got super good at spotting pun opportunities, to the extent that occasionally I'll hear a sentence and my brain thinks "there's a pun there somewhere" about five seconds before I actually think of the pun which is weird

But like a few months ago someone asked me the question "what comes in pairs" and my immediate reaction was "someone with a fruit fetish" and I don't even know how I reacted that quickly with a response that wasn't even already in my brain

Help I think I've lost control of the puns and they are now the ones in control of me

[Davsto]

I mean, uh, I guess it's all pun and games!

[Davsto]

Also with your Batman reference there's always some joke to make about the Punguin

[Davsto]

Although not fun when you're the one moderating

[Davsto]

Overall though I'm supportive of a title in theory because it is very distinctive and intrinsic to his personality and that is way more important than whether or not it's a good trait (I mean people have had titles for being angry people or for getting lynched often and they're not good traits) in making a good title.

I say "in theory" because I've yet to see a good title to represent it, and I doubt I'll see one any time soon. I can see it being a very difficult thing to come up with a good title for.

[Davsto]

(also I would personally argue that it's not a bad trait since it makes him unique and entertaining to interact with but as I said I don't feel that's really the most important thing to consider when a title is being made)

[Davsto]
