Title: Custom Names?
Post by: megamush on November 30, 2007, 11:59:01 PM
Does any one have any complants about your custom name?

Like mine "Sucks at games" how did I get this name, and how can I change it?

No.

You suck at games?  Get better at games.

Those are called custom titles (CTs). You cannot directly change them. The mods/admins hand them out based either on your behavior or just when they feel like it. Talking about them will often get you a dumb, sarcastic CT.

I was just wondering because I'm not happy with the one I have.

I can have it changed for you if you'll only pay me a small, one-time-only fee of $20.

They ought to let everyone choose their own CT, like on other forums.

Well, whichever one you get, you probably deserve it one way or another. Mine, I'm assuming it was because of my SMG gripes, but whatev.

I kinda accidentally suggested mine while talking about Brawl ("If Luigi's voice is sped-up Mario clips again, I'm gonna be one ticked chick"). I was a tad bit upset at first, but it's grown on me. And like someone (I think it was Lizard Dude) pointed out, it's fun to say aloud.

This reminds me of Khold's topic Custom Title? (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=8818.0), which lasted for a long time until was locked after a firestorm of "negative" CTs and people complaining about them.

I like how you can't change your CT yourself. It gives mods and admins a method of humiliating you, connecting your name to something, commending you, commenting about you, etc., while remaining anonymous. Relax and don't cry about it--it's just the Internet. And you may get a CT you really like one day. It feels so much better to get a positive or funny one when you didn't give it to yourself.
Title: Re: Custom Names?
Post by: Presidente on December 02, 2007, 03:25:05 PM
How come everyone complains about CT's?  I would personally love one even if it was humiliating, like BP said, it's just the internet.

I got mine because of my admiration of Waluigi.

Mine is a Star Trek allusion. I'm not a trekie (I forget what they call themselves), but I guess I'm fine with it.

[offtopic] Speaking of Star Trek, I found a Star Trek Manga at a bookstore...[/offtopic]

You know, I've checked it out from one of the libraries here twice now, and I never had a chance to read it either time.

Jeez, this thread isn't dead yet? Why can't you people just let it DIE!

Fighting For Peace Is Like Posting For A Thread To Die

My former CT was "2 cool 2 edit", because I didn't edit my posts when I first joined.

The Star Trek manga is darn good.

Post by: Presidente on December 04, 2007, 09:21:56 AM
I'm so afraid of getting in trouble on the site that I don't do anything out of the ordinary and I think I'll never get a custom title.
Title: Re: Custom Names?
Post by: goodie on December 04, 2007, 12:33:21 PM
I see that I've received a CT. I'm curious as to what it means.
Title: Re: Custom Names?
Post by: PaperLuigi on December 04, 2007, 04:46:44 PM
Well, both Nike and Reebok are brands of shoes, but why that would apply to you, I’m not sure...
Title: Re: Custom Names?
Post by: megamush on December 04, 2007, 06:35:02 PM

Because your username is "goodie" and your custom name is "Nike and Reebok"?

I think that is your custom name "Nike and Reebok" beacause your username is "goodie" and Nike and Reebok are both good brands!

do - you - und - er - stand?

That's quite a stretch.

I feel left out because everyone that posts frequently on the site has a CT.

It takes a while to get one unless you do something outrageous or you're a regular at #tmk.

Post by: Mr. Wiggles on December 04, 2007, 08:11:17 PM
Or if you happen to win a contest run by a staff member where the prize entitles you to a CT of your choice.

Though this one has become boring and devoid of actual meaning.
Title: Re: Custom Names?
Post by: megamush on December 04, 2007, 09:13:44 PM
I finaly got a new one! But what does it mean?

it is Zogby gone wrong!?
Title: Re: Custom Names?

A Google search reveals that there is a guy named Zogby who does polls.

Have you ever heard of "goody two shoes"? Seriously, it's not hard.

Actually all it takes is to be obsessed with custom titles so finally the admins will get fed up and give you one so you can shut up. That's what I would guess.

Don't take it too far or you may end up with the most dreaded Custom Title of all and then you will wish you had never even posted in this topic.

I'm ok with "Zogby game wrong" Just please neveer give a custom title like "Sucks at games"

I ended up with mine after inadvertently sending someone at TMK a chain email. I have since stopped passing on chain emails.

[MB:] I don't know how you got that impression... Cougar Gold is a popular tinned cheese made by WSU. I guess for me, it's a reference to being at WSU. And maybe something about being cheesy, or gold.

How would "Cougar Gold" be interpreted that way?

Wow. I had no idea.

And that's pretty funny, actually! Gold might infer some sort of target or goal. I'm not going to change it, though, because that's a pretty minor coincidence.

A new CT just appeared on me though I'm not entirely sure what spawned it (besides the obvious fact that I'm better than you).
