He can keep the badge, I'm just asking that the text part of the title is changed to "Mafia Scum". It's very much a defining characteristic for Parama.

I don't think you understand how it works.

If I'm getting this right, instead of a "text only" title, they have a "text + image" title for scummy winners. The "best performance scummy" text + image title has been applied to multiple people, and to make Parama's different would mean a new one would have to be made for him that was different from other people's. Which seems to be against what he seems to want, based on his request to be made Mafia Scum again.

I could be wrong but that's how I read it.

Uber is correct.

If you don't want this to happen, then don't win Scummies. Until next year, suck it up and be a big boy.

Mafia Scum would be cool.

Others who don't know about his title turn off won't understand it

Well I think having the text as well as the image is sort of redendant anyway. Kind of like username-based titles with the ugliness and the repetition.

It's using the alt-text for the award. Make sense now?

Wait so if he get "mafia scum" as his title back, he loses the award banner?

No.

But "Best Town Performance" and "Best Performance: Town" are really no different. If it was Paragon or Paperback Writer or something I'd understand...

It's simple.
Look at Faraday.
Has an award banner and his custom title.
If Mafia Scum became Parama's custom title (it shouldn't), then he'd still have the banner.
Fuck da police.

...that's the whole point? Nobody is saying the banner should go. It's the title I want to see changed.

I am with izak.

If parama is on board it should be done. Full stop.

WHAT are you people arguing about?

Best Performance: Town is a group award. It gets assigned as if it were a title that can be used by multiple people. To make Parama's say "Mafia Scum" would require making a separate and unique award set. If Oman feels it is worth it, fine.

If Parama doesn't want his Scummy then I lay claim to it as co-designer of the game in question.

He has not indicated that he wants the banner removed. He and others want his title reverted to reflect his known resistance to titling.

Or just because he's resistant to titling.

I know that. See Flay-o's post.~

I don't think everyone knows that.

But... I have best town performance and a different custom title.

Seriously confused.

Yours is special because this is all one image:

http://forum.mafiascum.net/images/ranks ... unters.jpg

Titles are known as ranks. Ranks can have custom text under the username as well as an image. Most users with titles simply have a rank with text.

Scummies are also ranks, but they utilize the image feature. When a user with a title wins a Scummy, we edit their rank and simply add the image to it.

When a user without a custom title wins, we give them one of the premade Scummies ranks, whose custom text is like what Parama now has. This is in place of the 'Mafia Scum' rank, which is shared by many users and therefore cannot be assigned an image without also giving it to everyone else who has that text below their name.

Hope that makes sense.

Alright guys.
Look.
If you win one award, and don't have a title, then the award overrides Mafia Scum.
If you have a title, you keep your title but also the banner.
Parama wants his title to be Mafia Scum. That way, he's "titleless", but still has his banner. This is perfectly (to my knowledge) doable. It's just dumb.

PEDIT: Oh, looks like it's not doable. Hah.

We could in theory change the text of all the generic Scummies ranks to read 'Mafia Scum,' though it would get confusing(for us) and I think most people would prefer it the other way.

or however he spelled it.

No. Why can't you make a rank that has "Mafia Scum" as text and a Scummies image?

The way I understand it (and the way I've seen it on other php boards), the text of the rank is unique. So, because "Mafia Scum" is already used, there's no way to make another rank with the same name.
