Weekly Monday Discussion #4

How about we
Stop giving out titles and let someone get the title of the award they won until another player granted it/a month or something

ngl i didnt even notice titles were an incentive

i donā€™t vibe with that

make it all about meaningless cookie points

the current way titles are handled, i donā€™t think giving them out as an award here makes sense

how about we delete all custom titles that were not paid for and/or earned in some other way

I paid for mine and the market is being devalued :^)

Oh one thing I should clarify

I am all for mods doing ā€œpaper plateā€ awards

I think theyā€™re a great way to highlight people who made specific achievements or whatnot and historically Iā€™ve done them in nearly every game I hosted on the site (and also probably some I didnā€™t even host lol)

But I think codifying it and adding additional incentives is where it starts to lose focus on the stated goals

Will see if I think of anything but I canā€™t say I relate to the idea of not trying as town so I donā€™t really know what would discourage people from doing that :man_shrugging:

I agree on wiping all custom titles that werenā€™t legitimately obtained.

I donā€™t really care that much about the title so I donā€™t oppose this.

Iā€™m fine either way but have always hated this limbo between ā€œyes theyā€™re customizableā€ and ā€œtheyā€™re awards given outā€ weā€™re in

Also

Title games bad

I personally donā€™t think Iā€™ve asked for a title because of how easy they are to obtain
I would like one if they actually meant anything
:upside_down_face:

i donā€™t care much on how titles are handled (in the sense that, if it changed, i wouldnā€™t be against it)

mine gets changed all the time, i find it semi funny

but given how thats the case i canā€™t really support having them be an award

when I joined titles were like

these cool rare things

and then they just
stopped being that

I was like, super hype when I got the ā€œcrazy in loveā€ badge to use as a title

and that charm is kind of gone when like 40% of the active community has some cool custom title

iā€™m cool with mods and judges/guides having titles

ideally it just says like ā€œToL Guideā€ even if this forum is rarely used for ToL-related things at this point so people know someone officialā„¢ they can talk to

but I also do think that titles, in general, are ideally rarely given out for big contributions to the community, or for donating to the community via patreon.

You mean Community Guide. We are guides for the whole tol community

Imma yoink the other mods real quick and get them in here.

I would like to say that I am a supporter of the idea that titles should be earned andā€¦ special.

Yes this is hypocritical of me, as I have changed the titles of some players, but have felt guilty about doing this, quite a few times.

I suggested a month-long custom title as an ā€œawardā€ without properly explaining that I think we should have a ā€œclean slateā€ on them.

That being said, I think it is fair that we get consent from players who have a custom title who did not purchase it or earn it otherwise, rather than mass-deletion.

oh yeah thatā€™s the word for it

thatā€™s what I meant

People can delete their titles themselves if they want to
