Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Just noticed - I now have one of those spiffy custom titles! No idea who bestowed it or what it's a reference to, but thanks, mysterious benefactor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk ĐªгŦĦ Єяŋϊε Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 it's not too mysterious. as far as i know there aren't more than five or six people who can do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Nice. Congrats, Triumph! Also, the base titles have changed again, back to Avernum titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's at least a step up from the Avadon ones. Though to be fair, titles from any series start to get sweet once you pass a few thousand posts, so that's a small comfort to console myself after being stripped of the "Shaper" title...

I guess I just lumped Synergy and Randomizer together because of the item lists and presumed that they were both beta testers and therefore both mods. Surprised I forgot SOT, though.

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Am I to understand that you are not automatically notified upon the receipt of a custom title? An inebriated mod could hand out a slew of them one evening, then take them away in the morning and none of us would ever know about it?

If I had known about it, then it didn't happen as described. If it happened as described, I can't have known about it, and thus would have written it just as I, in fact, did. It also occurs to me that I broke the first rule of getting a custom title (don't talk about custom titles). I'm a thousand posts and several years from that, anyway, though, so I'm not too worried.

Ineffable Wingbolt Tirien Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm actually suprised custom titles arent abused constantly, really. We could all have custom titles whenever we arent on, and when we come back to the forums, the mods change it back before we notice...

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I can empathize. I had wanted to release a beta version of an old BoA scenario on the sixth anniversary of starting work on it (and joining this forum). The sad thing is, I could probably get it ready for beta in under two weeks, but my TODO list for the winter break is over a page long. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't give Stareye any ideas, or we may find that the Avernum -themed titles vanish, and in their place are a uniform title for all post counts - Stareye's Servant. That wouldn't really be a custom title, but it would almost feel like one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
