The other day, I tried to come up with a title for
Kelly Aarons. It was one of those fleeting moments where you have the opportunity to display your wit, and in doing so, show everyone that you're actually a funny, lighthearted, and interesting human being (as opposed to a boring, soulless low-life ... sigh). In those racing seconds, I grasped desperately at all the
WoW titles floating aimlessly in my head. How about Kelly the Noble? Kelly the Light of Dawn, perhaps? No, that might seem self-absorbed or creepy. Kelly the Exalted? Salty Kelly?
I was about to type out Merrymaker Kelly when I realized my window of time had expired and anything after that would just make me seem like some sort of desperate try-hard. "You'll never be witty, Dawn. Give it up already." Sighing internally, I held down the delete key and kept quiet.
It made me wonder, though, if I were going to give myself my own title, what would it be? In game, I've only displayed a few titles on my characters over the years (Rival, Sergeant, Chef, and the Light of Dawn), but I don't think any of those titles suit me personally. Dawn the Patient seems fitting. Maybe Dawn the Explorer? I think I might have explored outside my house at some point -- that works.
What about you?

As silly as it sounds, Bane of the Fallen King.
I finally got it last night and I'm quite proud of myself.

Salty Trey.
Phil Jan 10th 2012 8:11AM
of The Nightfall, just cause its sounds cool

The Insane. Definitely the Insane.

I've always preferred the prefix titles over the suffix titles. Favorites of mine include Chef, Crusader, and (the especially appropriate) Twilight Vanquisher. Still working on Salty and Justicar.
Necromann Jan 10th 2012 8:15AM
The Insane. My friends and colleagues would agree.
Tharama Jan 10th 2012 8:18AM
"the Seeker"
I would also like a band following me around playing the music that goes so well with it but you can't have everything.
Revnah Jan 10th 2012 8:18AM
of Senjin. Of course, that's just wishful thinking, but I really am a troll at heart, just like my priest in WoW :-)

Either Merrymaker or Champion of the Frozen Wastes. Yes, that's right, I'm Santa Claus
Arrowsmith Jan 10th 2012 8:22AM
The Patient. Let's face it, being patient these days is becoming the highest virtue out there.
Demeternoth Jan 10th 2012 8:23AM
Merrymaker. Could change to Matron shortly.

"the Soul Eater"
...oh, we were talking about titles that are actually in game and not just what people call me irl? Well, in that case it'd have to be either "Starcaller", "Astral Walker", "Salty", or possibly "the Insane". The first three I mention because I think that they're neat sounding, while the last one is listed because on some level it's probably true.

In game I've displayed Guardian of Cenarius ever since getting it, but in real life I'd definitely have to go with Salty.
ejunk Jan 10th 2012 8:32AM
the same as in game: "chef."

Professor. As a graduate student, I hope to one day become a prof. Although the Insane could also very well apply! People often tell me I'm insane for various reasons - I run marathons, and I'm a graduate student at the "old" age of 39!
Elicor Jan 10th 2012 11:00AM
As an undergraduate student, I share the desire.
robbymack Jan 10th 2012 8:41AM
Brewmaster. Also the only holiday title I'll actually go out of my way to get on my alts. Love me some Brewfest!
Fletcher Jan 10th 2012 8:47AM
"The Immortal".
They said I could have any title I wanted ...
... so I became a God.
mtsadowski Jan 10th 2012 4:14PM
Be careful Immortal.
There can be only one :-)
Rodrigo Jan 10th 2012 8:47AM
I think I'd go for Chef. I really like cooking when I'm afk.
And when I get angry at work:
Slayer of stupid, incompetent and disappointing minions.
