There's another fight waiting to happen. Who is greater the giant turtle or Cthulu?

As these are titles for everyone, including people who aren't at all familiar with what members here have done, my preference is for those that are fairly well known, or at least searchable.

That said, it also doesn't matter terribly either way.  I don't think anyone will be truly miffed if we pick one group of titles and not another.  Perhaps it would be more productive to simply vote on an idea, or ask Nomadic or Sparkle or someone else to pick one, rather than brainstorming further.

Still, I'd much rather prefer CBG-specific titles to generic titles. I still vote for Steerpike's monsters.

The old titles that Ishmayl used were pretty obscure references themselves, so the obscurity of CE or another setting shouldn't matter. :D

I don't actually remember any other titles... we've had these ones for a long time, haven't we?

Half a year or so, I think. Picking the titles was the reward for the On Dwarves... contest.

In that case, let sparketwist pick, being the winner of the Comment constest and all.

O Senhor Leetz

well, to the victors go the spoils! Plus, I'm curious to see how she can top prostitutes.

Maybe we should do another contest and the winner picks? That could even be started on a cycle of every four to six months. We'd have contests sometimes and keep the titles fresh. Just a thought.

My one regret is that I was never a sly pimp.

I really think you should rephrase that. I mean, I'd like to watch too but I wouldn't go saying so where she can read it! Oh, wait, damn. . .

or

Not totally confident on the order these are presented in.  Tried to organize by "importance" or "usefulness."

Why don't we use important people/places/things from CBG members settings?

Supreme Overlord, it might be time for an executive decision on this one... or maybe a contest to decide a new titler?

Contest ideas:

- Best unusual cosmology
- Best micro-fiction set in someone else's setting
- Best character for someone else's setting
- Best creature for someone else's setting
- Best new region/dungeon/location in someone else's setting

Just my 2cp.  It doesn't look like consensus is going to organically cohere.

I like all of these ideas. How about we do, say, best new creature for someone else's setting and get this going?!
