It was suggested when I got my shiny new avatar that a better title would be "Ship's Musical Counterpoint".

It's an extra letter on an already lengthy title. But if it can fit in the space, Yes Please Mr Marvin Sir.

H&A Day is over, so no more custom titles. If you want one you can buy it like everyone else.

Speaking of which:

Everyone who was "blessed" with a new title - if you wish to keep it please make a donation of £5 / US$8 to the Organ Fund. Otherwise you will be returned to your previous titles by Saturday (yes, I kept a list. I'm not stupid).

This was always just a joke thread for H&A Day. If anyone actually thought I was really giving away free titles (and thus circumventing a handy source of income for the Ship), then I'm sorry you fell for it.

Maybe you could ask Marvin for his choice (he's good!) and then order the title suggested in the usual way.

Lots of fun, Marvin. Thanks.

Posted by Marvin the Martian (# 4360) on :

OK, so far I've got definite "I'll pay to keep this one" replies from Snags, Ags and Chorister.

(which sounds awfully like it should be a 70s prog rock band, but I digress)

Anyone else who wants to keep their new title needs to say so (and pay so [Biased]

) pretty darn soon, as I'm going to start resetting them this afternoon (UK time).

For completely new titles, please use the existing mechanism linked to at the top of the page (where it says "Avatars").

Oh crap, too late. Oh well, I'll pony up again some time and change it then.
