One instance isn't really enough to justify a title, especially when the event behind the name isn't really *that* uncommon (for example, I was targeted by like 5 different roles on Night 1 of Doctor Who 2 mafia). It doesn't happen often, but it does happen, and I don't really see why CKD in particular should get a title for it. I'm sure there's a better, more personal title we can come up with for CKD.

I think Kali fits me better than the Buddha.
wikipedia wrote:To properly understand this complex Tantric symbolism it is important to remember that the meaning behind Shiva and Kali does not stray from the non-dualistic parlance of Shankara or the Upanisads. According to both the Mahanirvana and Kularnava Tantras, there are two distinct ways of perceiving the same absolute reality. The first is a transcendental plane which is often described as static, yet infinite. It is here that there is no matter, there is no universe and only consciousness exists. This form of reality is known as Shiva, the absolute Sat-Chit-Ananda -- existence, knowledge and bliss. The second is an active plane, an immanent plane, the plane of matter, of Maya, i.e., where the illusion of space-time and the appearance of an actual universe does exist. This form of reality is known as Kali or Shakti, and (in its entirety) is still specified as the same Absolute Sat-Chit-Ananda. It is here in this second plane that the universe (as we commonly know it) is experienced and is described by the Tantric seer as the play of Shakti, or God as Mother Kali.[33]
From a Tantric perspective, when one meditates on reality at rest, as absolute pure consciousness (without the activities of creation, preservation or dissolution) one refers to this as Shiva or Brahman. When one meditates on reality as dynamic and creative, as the Absolute content of pure consciousness (with all the activities of creation, preservation or dissolution) one refers to it as Kali or Shakti. However, in either case the yogini or yogi is interested in one and the same reality -- the only difference being in name and fluctuating aspects of appearance. It is this which is generally accepted as the meaning of Kali standing on the chest of Shiva.[34]
Although there is often controversy surrounding the images of divine copulation, the general consensus is benign and free from any carnal impurities in its substance. In Tantra the human body is a symbol for the microcosm of the universe; therefore sexual process is responsible for the creation of the world. Although theoretically Shiva and Kali (or Shakti) are inseparable, like fire and its power to burn, in the case of creation they are often seen as having separate roles. With Shiva as male and Kali as female it is only by their union that creation may transpire. This reminds us of the prakrti and purusa doctrine of Samkhya wherein prakāśa- vimarśa has no practical value, just as without prakrti, purusa is quite inactive. This (once again) stresses the interdependencies of Shiva and Shakti and the vitality of their union. [35]
Gopi Krishna proposed that Kali standing on the dead Shiva or Shava (Sanskrit for dead body) symbolised the helplessness of a person undergoing the changing process ( psychologically and physiologically) in the body conducted by the Kundalini Shakti.[36]

or you could look at it as an example of the process working. The point of this thread is to generate good titles, right?

i'm not saying that you are wrong, just pointing out that if we like the ends then perhaps the means weren't so bad... but this isn't a point I'm heavily invested in.

I really like it, and beg to differ. .
Well, I don't find it particularly amusing, and I don't think crosskilling is that rare an accomplishment. It happens pretty regularly. I think there are a lot of things that stand out about you as a player, and that ain't any of them. That you crosskilled K9 in one game doesn't come to mind when i think of you.
'Too active' for instance, would fit you a lot better, imho, as would the proposed 'mislynched' or 'not a tracker.'
He replaced into a game and made exactly one post in the game, ending it. His single post hammered an opposing scum, and his night move killed the other opposing scum.
His one post yielded two dead scum from an opposing mafia. This wasn't part of an endgame, it was day 2!
One post killed two scum. At that rate my 1900 posts could be responsible for 3800 scum deaths, instead of 9.

if it makes you feel any better, I honestly thought there was an "F" in "Zoneace" until about a month ago when I happened to stumble acrosss the mafia wiki article explaining your title.

Heh Heh i'm just funning. I did laugh. I support him getting the title if he does want it. But I truthfully don't consider him an alcoholic because I myself have done worse on irc while drunk:
That was a fun game but I wouldn't call myself an alcoholic either since other players have done worse then that even.
You don't have to be the sloppiest drunk in the room to be an alcoholic.
