That is... Odd
And I would expect is a symptom of not playing mafia that much
He's been in a lot of games and the avatar trend spread his reputation much
This might be a symptom of the disconnect between the current playerbase and the broader site community
I'm interested to see where DRK goes wrt that
I can confirm that it is the same for me, who does not play mafia whatsoever.
the worst is absolutely considered to be a duck
even if lala is a more iconic duck, its an integral enough part of the worst's site persona to justify it being a title imo
lalaladucks' ducks is only on the username, I know she had a duck as an avatar the first few months she was on the site but it isn't really associated with her anymore beyond that.

and i don't think it does a very good job of being distinctive
you mention that lalaladucks is different because her username has ducks in it, but i don't think it's that different;
the key thing is that when i think of ducks and mafiascum at the same time, the worst simply isn't the first user to come to mind
lalaladucks is the first user that comes to mind when I think of ducks and mafiascum, at least in part because I interact with her
a lot
more than I interact with the worst, but I wouldn't find a title containing "duck" to be at all fitting for her and that's what makes it different. As far as Mafiascum goes, "(lalala)ducks" is a
name
. It's what we call her, but it's not who she is. the worst has a name and people call him "duck" and "duckling" instead because they find it more fitting.
If even people who interact more often with the worst associate him less with ducks than they do lalaladucks, then I think you have a very fair point, but I don't think it's the case (and I welcome people to come in and correct me if I'm wrong)
I'm half convinced people think of snark attack when they think of Gives a Duck because they're both animal-based username titles about the user's personality.

There are people in this thread who think of users other than lalaladucks when we are discussing mafia scum users with duck motifs and they are all wrong.

I'm... pretty sure you've not read any of the explanations.

that's what i presume psyche was saying w/ budget snark attack. and i stand by it as well. i don't understand why the worst cares more than anyone else, it's not a particularly memorable characteristic.
i mean does lalaladucks care about things? i don't know! it's v vague.

I didn't know that title was based partly on an avatar until this very post. what's the story behind it?
definitely think the worst deserves a title and is a super nice dude, and...cares about stuff?... but "gives a duck" is a big thumbs down from me, like i think including something duck-related in a title for him would be fine, but this just... sounds bad
that said, i don't have any better ideas right now

based on cursory research this seems to be the pertinent information
You stopped coming to scumchat back when you were still Rick, I didn't realize your new avatar / gimmick was sharks tbh. The snark is strong in you even when you're not a shark.

Ya, I'm willing to go along with a duck based title if that's what fits, but the reasoning behind that specific duck based title seems less than good.
There has to be a better way to get the duck thing in there while also having a less generic title, behind it.
are you thinking of me when you're with somebody else?
