No! I play things far too safe (except MAYBE in Werewolf...), to ever contemplate that.

And, as Bethberry noted, it's not QUITE the same thing posting on this thread as asking for one. Several of the people who posted early on this thread were in the last batch of nominees...

No, I just find it funny, that's all...

Hmm... and speaking of Werewolf, I'm surprised no one has gone with a Werewolfish title yet...

I don't think anybody will. Werewolf participation is only a small part of Downs membership, which is only a small part of what makes each one of us a person. No matter what the sleepless nights say.

And in a few years the obsession with it may pass, and then it would be a rather strange title to any newbies. Still, it would be a way of remembering the good old days

SHE'S A WOLF...LYNCH HER! BURN HER!

No, it could be a rather excellent theme for a PT. The problem is that you need to make it customized to yourself and a WW PT just didn't match my own personality.

T'would be easy to make it Middle-Earth seeming...

Risky Ranger
Beheaded Hunter
Sleeping Seer

or any such name of the sort would sound appropriately Middle-Earthen, appropriately dead, and appropriately Werewolfish. And then there are all the RP-esque names one could convert to a title...

Deadpan Lumberjack comes to mind (although Saucepan Man already has a Personal Title).

Personally, I think "Innocent Villager" would be a hilarious Personal Title...

That would be grand. Personally, I think that Nilp would have been the most likely to use a title from WW, but he received his long ago. His probably would have been 'Loud Lupine' or 'Suicidal Skin-changer' or something to the like. You know, something to describe his I'm-a-werewolf-so-lynch-me attitude.

How about Wrongfully Lynched? Mind you, just about every WW player can lay claim to that title at some point ...

Kind of off-topic but back to the subject of Perky. I think that MLT would be a good PT for you.

"MAX: Yeah, sonny... true love is the greatest thing in the world. Except for
a nice MLT: mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, when the mutton is
nice and lean, and the tomato is ripe... <smack smack> they're so
perky; I love that." -The Princess Bride

I think Nilp would be the only one who will disagree with that. His might be: "Lynch Me".
