October Title Event: Title Council

Post Post #0 (isolation #0) » Tue Oct 01, 2019 7:33 am

This is the title event thread for October.
To make a normal nomination using the usual standard title nomination metrics, go here.
To discuss events, go here.
Title Council:

AKA, "Why Democracy is a failure of a system"

(AKA, "Proof of concept for why the title fairy's a dictatorship, not a democracy")

For the duration of this month (October 1st - October 31st), users may post in this thread with nominations of other users for a title.
There's only three basic rules: the nominations must not be insulting; the nominations cannot refer to an ongoing game; users may not self-nominate for a title.
Otherwise, all else is free game. (So, yes, the same user can be nominated for an unlimited number of different titles. Obviously they can only wear one at a time though!)

These nominated titles will not be instantly given out.

Instead, a voting process will begin.

If a title receives
ten
nths
(users may not self-nth), then, after 48 hours if that threshold remains and if the user approves of the title, the title will be handed out.

HOWEVER,
anti-nominations for the title will remove two nths from the given title
.
(Users may
not
"anti-nom everything". If you want to anti-nom something, you must do so manually.)

Users may freely retract nths or antinoms at any given time; a retraction won't result in your vote flipping from one to the other and if you wish to go from anti-nomming to nthing or vice-versa you must specify so.

The title fairy's vote counts for double
; if I nth a title, it's two nths; if I anti-nom a title, it removes four nths from the given title.

As the title fairy, I will be giving "title votecounts" throughout the month, tracking the nth number for given title suggestions: who's nthing the title and who's anti-nomming the title with the current nth count for that title, and doing this for every title nominated.

At the end of the month,
voting will close; any title which does not have the sufficient number of votes will not be given
.

However, critically:
any title which was previously approved can be automatically kept permanently
.

In short, for the duration of this month, title standards are incredibly lax. Get sufficient support for a title, and that title will forever be approved.
You just need to keep ten votes for the title with no anti-noms, or twelve votes for the title with one anti-nom, or fourteen with two anti-noms, and so on and so forth.

Good luck and have fun!

Rule Clarifications:

Given the nature of this event I probably will need to clarify some rules as it goes on and this section is reserved for such things.

Spooky
because october
This is, technically speaking, fully possible for me to do. Just turn every title on site and edit it into Spooky.
Or, if I don't want to risk fucking up the special titles, turn every normal rank, Watcher/Ninja/Townie/Goon/Mafia Scum/JOAT/Survivor into Spooky, something which is less likely to catastrophically fuck things up.

In theory, it could be done.

I'm going to tell you right here and now that I outright won't, tho, no matter the number of nths behind the idea because of two basic reasons.
1: Even if it's just the normal ranks there's the risk of me fucking things up and I'd rather not risk that.
2: Believe it or not, doing something along these lines was the original January event I had in mind, but I scrapped it because I hated it and I thought it too much of an abuse of power. I just don't like the idea of forcing titles onto someone, no matter how noble the intention of the action may be. It feels too much of an overextension of my powers.

In post 13, Alisae wrote:anti-nom those ones as well
Per the rules, broad sweeping statements like this will not be counted. If you want to anti-nom something, you must specify what you are anti-nomming. You can't even go "anti-nom everything except for X"; if you want to anti-nom things, you must do so individually, one anti-nomination at a time.

Users get one nth/one anti-nom per title across all their accounts.

I set the standards as what I did specifically because I thought the idea was incredibly careless--meaning that if I didn't set them that high, we'd have had issues. :P

I do seem to be getting some feedback that I might've been a little overly strict on my standards tho, so I'm considering being a little more lax on them because title events are preferably both fun and also generate some titles that would otherwise not go through--right now it's looking like none of the titles will go through and I'm worried that the event won't be fun with the standards set at what they are.

Would love for y'all to prove me wrong tho and show that I made the right initial balance judgement. :P (Basically, for lots of noms to get lots of nths.)
