So, this is a spreadsheet of title data along with quick links to search for
I don't like the idea of putting it on the wiki (which is old and lame), and find it too hard anyway. In a spreadsheet, I'll be able to update it more easily using scripts, and I can tie the spreadsheet to a form so that people can submit explanations for titles without knowing or having to mess with wiki markdown. We can link to the spreadsheet/form in the OP and on key MafiaWiki pages and call it a day, unless someone else wants to put in the extra work.
If this sounds like something you'd be enthusiastic about, I can get to work on making all this legit.
What happened to it? Should still be usable, yes?
Should be easily linked, like they do with the Scummies noms, yeah?
Please at least wait until tomorrow to be pulling what should at best be an April fools joke

*It may be held by someone else if you discount the major downtime in 2012 and 2014, I'm not doing the research.
what was the purpose of this change tho. allowing people to choose their own title removes the only appealing aspect of titles. It also devalues all the titles given before.
I'm still not convinced this isnt an april fools joke

namely because no one has yet had the guts to submit a non-joke title for themselves. it's difficult to feel seriously good about an award given to oneself.

I hope this is a joke. Like, incredibly so. I'd be very disappointed if it weren't.

My overall strategy for preserving and building this institution will be to emphasize title standards on the one hand, and to help users more frequently meet them on the other.
Better titles, more titles.
Allowing players to request their own titles does provide more titles (thank you), but not holding those requests to a standard of acceptability does not provide better titles.

Psyche and I have chatted about this and I've decided to let him see how this plays out. He has a firm command on what he wants to accomplish, and traditionally the staff have taken a very hands-off approach to titles, letting the Title Fairy do as he thinks appropriate.

I think we should go back to the old way. That is my feedback for the feedback thread.

The old way was a bit too much "good old boys" club.
I'm on board with players being allowed to ask for a title, I just think there should be standards applied to those requests.
Approving titles simply because they do not break site rules allow for titles such as "I am garbage", and while that title may technically be acceptable according to site rules, it's not exactly healthy. It promotes a negative self-image and an expectation of unworthiness. Not to mention it's just bad for site morale. Regardless of how the member may feel about themselves, they should not have a negative image validated with a title.
