Custom user titles

You worked the system.

Whoa, I have a new title.

I now feel like I have permission to stop being nice in one week's time.

Next Thursday it'll change to "Gets to Be a Jerk All the Time".

I think part of the beauty of the mandatory and mysterious rank title system is that we all suffer together. Whether you like a given title or not, that's what you're wearing. It upends the usual postcount bullshit wherein people actively game the system to seek out higher and more coveted titles, especially when the highest-ranked titles kind of punish you for having them. It's all very meta.

I AM THE ONE WHO DID THE WORK

I AM A +5 WORKHORSE OF WORKING

WHY DO YOU GET THE TITLE

I know that much - I can't remember the specific thing I did to earn it though.

Wait, you didn't ignore me yet? Hah, jokes on you, then, I'm nowhere near getting enough points to warrant a custom title. Psyche, I'm actually sadface-ing right now.

This piqued my interest too, here's what I've been able to figure out so far based on trophy points.

I doff my hat at you good sir! Tis a most remarkable display of your Chartist titles and skills, thank ye kindly~<3

Now I'm pissed I skipped, like, four of those titles. At least give us a choice to press "B" to stop the Pokémon evolution or something.

Such is the cross to bear, when you have wit to spare. v____v

Hard Cider Gal? I like that one! Now I need to go find a way to grind trophy points.

...or, uh, figure out how to look at my trophies again.

*wanders off to poke hopefully at links until something happens*

fadeaccompli Go to your profile page and click on the points below trophy points. Good luck to ye.

There's also Magister Mundi Dungsroman, but that's a seekrit unlockable one.

I feel like I'm being discriminated against because I don't drink and therefore can't attain the Drunk Posting trophy.

I demand a "Stoned Out Of Your Gourd and Rambling About Your Testicles" trophy. Immediately.

because this actually happened

OH, am I actually thinking of Magister Mundi McCullough?

And this is why we (I) need a chart.

That one takes forever to actually get anyway, because Lum is lazy.

YOU HEARD ME

Just fake it dude

As if you could.

True grognards know that McCullough was not the original Magister Mundi. Isn't that right Tyjenks?

Seriously. Seriously.
HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO DRUNK POST, LUM. does my liver have to be partially non-functioning to get it because i will make it happen if that's a requirement.

all the trophies all of them will be mine

I keep all of my Broken Forum trophies on a little trophy shelf. Sometimes I like to grab a drink, sit down in a comfortable chair, and gaze fondly at them while rousing classical music plays in the background.

ok. what did I do to get "Drunk Posting"? I don't actually drink. Much.

I assume it's a Lum judgement call. I've posted while completely blitzed and have yet to receive it.

when i saw the thing saying i got the drunk posting trophy, i actually started like...squealing in joy. And then I told the BF on Skype why I was so happy and he did that "oh" where the person don't know what you are talking about but doesn't wanna bum you out, but the tone of that "oh" bums you out anyway

why doesn't my boyfriend understand how trophies on this forum make me feeeeel

Well, I got 'Unbelievably Likeable' for posting a story and picture about my old cat and saying that Adree with the title Offensive Dickweed was pretty much perfect for him. I went from 'This is SEWIOUS' to 'I Pretty Much Live Here' in a single day. Which, sadly, sort of fits.

Also, if anyone's curious about the context for Adree's new title, it's here and here. Oh, and brett's back, everyone! Lum can he get a custom title? Maybe something like 'Constantly On The Brink of Being Banned'?

This is kinda the most exciting day of my life. As a long-time lurker here who only recently started posting, I got pretty disappointed right away when he got tempbanned not long after I joined. I've felt so incomplete here.

I didn't quite squee, but finally getting my Drunkie was like the sugar on my cereal this morning, and I didn't even have cereal.

You joined after brett got his 7 day ban and already have the 'I Pretty Much Live Here' title? I've been a member for months and just got that title yesterday. Now I think you really deserve it. It should be permanent. Or, maybe changed to 'I Live Here'.

I joined on 28 December it's not as bad as you think

really


I think a lot of it was unintentionally gaming the system. I already had a pretty good post:like ratio around the time when I was just over the threshold to get the related ratio trophies. So I got a pretty big leg up pretty quickly.

I like the part were she starred in "The Help".

Damn straight! And you all thought my posts were full of useless drivel now. Back in the day, I would dip into every thread I had even the remotest of interest in/knowledge about. So much free time back then. McCullough surpassed be in numbers of posts and far surpassed me in useful content long ago.

Oh, come on.

I don't remember if we had the drunk posting trophy before I went on my shiraz-fueled rampage, but we definitely did the day after. Good lord.

Shiraz?! Gross. Liking this out of irony.
