Ciddies XXIII: Winner Revelations Thread

[Jiro]

15. Best Custom Rank

For most of us, this is a nice little place to be witty(?) in up to 25 characters. However, some people are given special custom titles that are either too long, the wrong color, or have little pictures in them. Why? Probably made some kind of deal with Kefka or something (get it I made a Final Fantasy reference). So here are our nominees and their associated titles, along with an unbiased, purely objective grade based on tangible qualities. All custom titles are being viewed on the "EoFF Classic" theme.

Del Murder - For Whom the Del Trolls

• Length: 23 characters. Almost the full "normal-person" limit. 1/2
• Color: Standard. Timeless classic. 1/1
• Cultural References: A pun on the Metallica lyric (later repopularized by Ernest Hemingway) "For whom the bell tolls". Not a fan of either. 3/5
• Quality: A clever pun, paying homage to Del Snizz. 4/5

TOTAL: 9/13


DK - Looks like a golden shiny wire of hope

• Length: 38 characters. Brevity is the soul of wit, my friend. 0/2
• Color: Standard. 1/1
• Cultural References: Final Fantasy 7. 5/5
• Quality: Ugh, Final Fantasy 7. But before I looked up this quote to check for Cultural References, I actually thought this was pretty good. Unbiased opinions only. 3/5

TOTAL: 9/13


I Don't Need A Name - Don't get mad, get moist

• Length: 24 characters. Using almost the full space, cutting it close. 1/2
• Color: Standard, o'course. 1/1
• Cultural References: Don't get mad, get Glad. 3/5
• Quality: I'm a big fan of this one too. 4/5

TOTAL: 9/13


I'm my own MILF - $$ USA FLAG EAGLE $$

• Length: 20 characters. America. 1/2
• Color: Should be red/white/blue but you can't go wrong with the standard. 1/1
• Cultural References: AMERICA 5/5
• Quality: America's pretty mediocre actually. 2/5

TOTAL: 9/13


Jiro - Freelance Jironalist

• Length: 20 characters. Working well with the space us normals have to work with, but on the longish side. 1/2
• Color: Quite standard. 1/1
• Cultural References: It's a pun. Is journalism culture at all? Sure, why not. 3/5
• Quality: The only nominee whose full username is in his custom title. The pun makes up for the narcissism, though. 4/5

TOTAL: 9/13


Psychotic - Is Superman gonna have to donkey punch a bitch?

• Length: 47 characters. Dear god that's long.that's what she said -1/2
• Color: Same as the rest of them. 1/1
• Cultural References: Makes me think of that song by Soulja Boy Tell 'Em. 4/5
• Quality: I like it and it fits with the rest of Psychotic's "theme", i.e. his avatar and signature. 5/5

TOTAL: 9/13


Rantz - Beef thief

• Length: 11 characters plus a bat. 2/2
• Color: Apart from the bat, standard. Can't complain. 1/1
• Cultural References: Referenced on urban dictionary, apparently. Or, in the headline "Teen Beef Thief Nabbed in Sirloin Purloin". 3/5
• Quality: Short, sweet, sexy. Two of these words describe Rantz. But unfortunately I have to take off points for that non-standard bat. Alas. 3/5

TOTAL: 9/13


Uncle Big Hands - Bitches

• Length: 7 characters. Straight to the point, bitches. 2/2
• Color: Not standard. 0/1
• Cultural References: Arguably, none. 0/5
• Quality: Bitches. 7/5

TOTAL: 9/13

Oh. Well, trout. I guess I can't decide.
