My title is a section of Turing tape. Unfortunately, in a previous topic I already made the joke that Turing tape is what you use to ture things to each other, so I won't do it again. Seriously, though, you can basically just think of my title as being binary code for a computer. It arose because of a running joke that I'm actually an artificial intelligence. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

My title took me rather by surprise. Like Aran's and Kel's, it's an Alice reference, and I think it's quite appropriate -- chosen no doubt for my tendency to pass time by putting square pegs in round holes and laughing madly at the results. I think there's also an argument to be made that the three of us acquired those titles by being the biggest analytical wankers here. :cool: -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

When I come here it looking increasingly much that you must be new and wierd not to have a custom title, you know? More and more are given out every once in a while, and most of the long-active members have them. But anyway, I guess having a custom title is still an honor. To those who consider it that. My title, even though I'm approaching a landmark post count, will stay the same throughout. I'm afraid I'll have to wait another 500 posts before I can frolic. -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

quote:There are two categories for titles. The first kind goes to people who do something useful, and the second goes to people who talk a lot. The first kind makes sense, and the second doesn't, so they really fit the ones they are given quite well. Cartographer and BoE Posse belong to the first; sadly, mine appears to be solidly in the second group. (I had one shot at the first with "Exile Historian", but that was it).

My and Salmon’s titles are apparently nicknames for a couple basketball players. Though I have no idea what possible connection Drakey draws between Salmon and myself.

Hm. I've done a couple of useful things here, but they probably aren't significant enough to count. They certainly aren't on Silver's level, anyway. Also, I'm not very vocal in general, lowering the chances of anyone noticing me. Isn't it funny that "Curiouser and Curiouser" is both a Marathon and an Alice reference?

quote:Not quite. I do nothing useful, nor do I talk a lot. I may have a long, long time ago, but I'm pretty sure I came back to my new custom title after something of a Spiderweb sabbatical. I'm an old member and I used to be well-known in roughly the same way as ben was when he first arrived; that, as far as I can tell, is why I have a custom title. quote:Actually, both titles make perfect sense... especially Roses... My title is from Marathon, of whose existance I was completely unaware until receiving said title. If I had to guess, I'd say it's a fitting reference to my past and certain... disputes I've found myself in. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon Polaris = joy.

quote:Being godfather of all Geneforge character editors looks quite significant to me, as far as contributions are concerned, but you also have to be very vocal. Silver was not very prominent himself, but the other two Cartographers were among most noticeable members when they got their titles. Same with BoE Posse. (If group titles are given out, belonging to a group is a replacement for individual prominence.) As for my title, it's another artifact from Drakefyre's first Marathon level themed title spree.

Thank you Alorael. I am deeply flattered. Not only are Khoth's and Arctic's titles linked, but at least one of them had to be shortened to fit. -------------------- I am a mater of time and how .
