Ok, you're excused because you actually make a funny king.

The rest of you folks who decided that being a ruler, sir, lord, king, or picked one of those ego-inflating titles; I repeat: what the FUCK is wrong with you all?

No offense on having a different name or having something different, but this whole name changing thing just looks like one great big clusterfuck of randomly chosen names only to try and out-rank someone else, and for what? No purpose except flexing of the ego.

Feh.

Guess it goes both ways Snoota - I'll gladly ignore you too, not like you've got much constructiveness to contribute so I won't be missing much.

MadCat, the titles are something called a running joke. They've been around for a while. Parcelan started the whole thing when he added Mr. to his name.

Also, it doesn't look like the titles are made to insult someone else. They're just there for fun. Some of the titles were given out by Parce, and the names were changed accordingly. Some are self-proclaimed.

What's your problem with the titles, exactly? Or are you just looking for something to whine about so you can get attention? And you call us attention whores.

What my problem with the titles is? It's two-fold really. First; the long ones. Long titles = wack formatting = bad mmkay?

Second; with the inflated titles seems to come an inflated ego. *shrug*

Call it my personal pet peeve.

Yes, obviously everybody's ego is going to become ten times larger by adding some stupid chunk of text to their name. Obviously, this will make EVERYBODY ON THE BOARD RESPECT THEM MORE AND GIVE THEM LONGER, BETTER SEX.

Come on. It's a chunk of fucking text. Get on with life.

It was the attitude people took with those new names, going so far as to clutter up the first page with posts on how they were so grand and mighty cause of their new name, bow down to them, etc.

There was so much crap on the first page like that, I got bored and went off to read the actual EQ pages, because there wasn't much of anything stimulating here.

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

I posted in a title changing thread.
posted 06-03-2002 12:33:25 AM
Name changes slow down my scan of topics. When I come on to read the forum, I go by who's saying what. Oh here's a post by Comrade Snoota *open in new window*, here's one by Kloie *open in new window*, etc. I didn't care if Parce did it because it was Parce's schtick: Little rodent, big ego. Didn't mind it too much when Addy did it, because someone gave me the impression she did it because she'd used AAXP in EQ to get a title for herself or something.

But at this point, it's turning into one of those fads like everyone speaking in Kagramaspeak/Mogspeak in every single post in every single thread. Yes, funny for a while. Yes, cool for a bit. But after that, it's everyone and their grandmother trying to be hip on someone else's schtick.

It's kinda like the whole deal with the EQ info; in the rules it says they're not to be used like a title. So you use the nickname instead?

Besides with every new annoying iteration of "Let's see how much longer I can get my nick" it threatens to make you look like you have a Sailor Moon name "Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon", "Uber Duke Monkey Poo Such and Such" or whatever.

BUT it's not against the rules, my opinion is my own. I'm hoping that this is a fad that'll go the way of the dodo in the near future. Just grates on my nerves.
