Titles...

ARGUMENT #1: There are too many titles floating around. Titles are one of the main incentives for people trying to win tourneys. When you have so many titles to the point where everyone seems to have one, it reduces the value of having one. Also, having so many tournaments where someone can earn a title means people end up not taking the tournament as seriously as they otherwise might have. If they miss it or no-show it, they'll just tell themselves "well, I'll get an opportunity to win another title next week."

ARGUMENT #2: We can never have too many titles or too many tournaments that offer titles. That's almost the only thing still keeping this place afloat because of the activity it sparks. More tournaments which offer titles also means more chances and opportunities for people to win something and that's a good thing.

I hope I represented the gist of both arguments equally well. Where do you stand in regards to this? Vote on the poll.

Catch 22.

There's always pros and cons to these situations. I do feel Titles have lost their value due to the green ones. It makes the mind-set: ''I'm not battling unless I can win a title.'' I think there should only be MAYBE, 2 green titles that float around. 2 SET tournaments that every month battle to keep it so it's not permanent. Other than that, nothing but Orange, Blue, HOF, ETK (the most-important.) Keeps the prestige value to them. Other than that, they should be wiped.

There is no black and white. Green titles were a mistake though and forum tournaments should be rewarded with awards.

^Agreed. I think there's a good amount of Orange and blues.
Orange being, Topical, One Bar, Scheme, Tag Team, and possibly the Theme.

Blue being the LBT/LBA and all the GC Variants.

When really, only 6 or so titles go out a year, 2 blues normally, 4 oranges.
I say the Green one aren't important, I've never been a fan of green titles, only official titles. And right now only a few cats seem to be actually winning titles. So it's not like there's a title getting dropped on every person.

I also forgot the ATT as an Orange title.

I think it's cool seeing all the diffrent titles.

Have titles for official tournaments & official forum events only (LBT etc), basically have titles only for anything that happens weekly/monthly/annually, anything that doesn't just happen once (like the Who Got Barz tournament, @Just C )

I ain't got one...but then I don't have that much interest in tourneys tbh...

I don't think there's too many and everyone that has one is worthy imo

lol the fact you even got the name wrong says a lot. I wouldn't be mad if I got my title stripped if people want less titles.
