Dance of the Title Thread: Resurgence in wild?

Nom Gamma Emerald for “the right stuff”

Gamma is an extremely ethical person, always standing up for what he believes is right. I also considered “moral compass”, “code of conduct” and “heart of gold” but I thought the first two could possibly be misinterpreted as maybe preachy and the third might not quite describe what I’m trying to express the best. Then I thought of “the right stuff”, which encapsulates best what I’m trying to say and is also more nuanced since he always brings alot to the table in ever game he’s in.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Eh. While I don't disagree with any of the individual things said, none of that screams Gamma to me in any appreciable way, tbh.

How so? He always puts ethics above everything else in pretty much every game he’s in and if he believes anyone has said/done anything that violates his moral code, he won’t hesitate to call them out on it.

[Nancy Drew 39]

i don’t think the imposing of a personal moral code is the type of thing that a person should rewarded/be remembered for. a lot of people do this and it’s not specific to gamma and imo robs him of something that could be more unique to him as a player

anti-nom

that is to say, a lot of people bring “the right stuff” in their eyes and the eyes of other but it’s subjective and gamma deserves something more personal/relevant

I was trying to express what I have evidenced from Gamma in multiple games in a way that would be interpreted favourably. It’s true other people do do this as well but it’s one of the things that has been a long-standing feature of his games. If it was only recent, I wouldn’t have suggested it.

I also think there may also be something relevant in the movie reference as well and if anyone is interested in my elaborating on that, I can put the effort into possibly doing so.

Eta: that said, I would very much like to see him get a title, Taly as well.

What about "into the fire"
- gamma leans in when he believes in something, courage, vulnerability on his sleeve
- gamma almost always a target for D1 lim regardless of alignment and often manages to come out unburnt.
- gives into his passions (fire a metaphor) at times in and out of game

“fire walker”?

You were the one who inspired my awesome title. Maybe genius will strike again? <3

I still like “the right stuff” best for Gamma but

how ‘bout

diamond in the rough

?

[Nancy Drew 39]

how ‘bout diamond in the rough?

"Ethical Gem" might be a fix to tie your "Right Stuff" intention to this. (And it's a username reference.)

Kind of a "Rare to see someone actually standing by their morals in this day and age" reference. I dunno, I'm not in love with it but it seems like a step up and it might lead somewhere.

Wouldn’t “rare gem” be better then or something maybe jewel related?

[Nancy Drew 39]

why not go for emerald in the rough for gamma instead of diamond in the rough

I think titles connected to usernames are frowned upon.

I was planning on looking up TRS film to see if there are any parallels but been too depressed and lazy so far.

[Nancy Drew 39]

“unpolished jewel” perhaps?

How about “righteous jewel” then?

but I also like “rare gem” too.

the reasoning for Gamma's titling seems pretty wonky.

I know you guys aren’t currently on the best of terms but I don’t honestly get why you’re framing what I consider his principled stances as “tilting”?

People might be unaware of this but Gamma has gone out on a major limb for me awhile ago when I was being unfairly anonymously blacklisted from a few games, so definitely not “tilting”. He didn’t have to do that for me but he did it anyway, so I hope you two can work out your differences and hopefully clear up any misunderstandings you might have.

I think you misread, Nancy. He said the titling reasons seem off, nothing about him or his stances being tilting

I don’t understand then because my reasoning has zilch to do with tilting. He takes principled stances which I haven’t necessarily always like or agreed with but it’s a longstanding characteristic of his posting.

[Nancy Drew 39]

People might be unaware of this but Gamma has gone out on a major limb for me wrt to extremely upsetting onsite things that happened to me awhile ago, so definitely not “tilting”. He didn’t have to do that for me but he did it anyway, so I hope you two can work out your differences and hopefully clear up any misunderstandings you might have.

That's not what Ari is saying. I know you have some degree of dyslexia so I completely understand the mistake.

What Nero said is titling, as in the process of receiving a title.

What I think you're reading is tilting, as in being put off center.

Nero isn't making aspersions about Gamma's character here, just saying that the reasoning on these particular titles seems off to him.

Oh sorry Nero. I obviously misread.

[Nancy Drew 39]

but I also like “rare gem” too.

I think the 'rare gem' loses the ethics/morality connotation you were going for and is mostly a username thing which makes it kinda meh. Not opposed to Righteous Jewel.

nom Gamma for “righteous jewel”

Nominate CreativeMod1 for Operative Excelence

Excelence refers to how he has made positive contributions to the community with cool spreadsheets.

• The most obvious example is the LSG Mod Spreadsheet Template he made that helps automate and streamline the modding process.
  
• Another example would include this Murder Mystery game he made via a spreadsheet that first was a LSG challenge but later also publicized as a fun Mish Mash game.
  
• For another LSG challenge, he automated a spreadsheet to give live responses about whether participants made correct or incorrect guesses. It would calculate time penalties based on incorrect guesses.

I thought it would be fun to make it "Operative" Excelence because it references that he mods Codenames as a Mish Mash game. I think it can also represent that he's generally passionate about modding.

I think he likes to keep things entertaining for game spectators and promote positivity, and so I'd be open to alternate suggestions more in a vein of like "Excelent Entertainer." Operative Excelence is the best spin on it that I personally have to offer tho!

Thank you!!! This is really cool and I accept this

Also, may I request the spelling to be "excellence" cos us brits love extra letters in our words

Isn’t “excellence” the correct spelling?
