Thanks

If anyone is curious where it came from, search for "the trouble with tribbles" thread in the fake banks forum. Wink

^^^ I haven't killed them all myself. I think I found between 20-25 the first round, and found only 5 or so last round. They'll probably be back in a month or two, so I can get them again. B.A.Ware says it's like playing Wack-a-mole. Laughing

Wait, so what if one person is "Immune to custom tags", and another person says, "Hey, I'm immune to custom tags!" What happens then?

I'll admit, I tried to become "Snerd's loyal henchwoman" in the previous PTW. It didn't work.

CY: You must have missed it. That's actually what happened. I have been saying for a while that I was immune to custom tags, because I avoided one for quite a while before I got the Sners Groupie one on the Valentine's day thread.
I was back to Baiting Guru, so I joked on this thread that I was immune, Corona said so too. . . and we both ended up with the tags. Mine has since been changed to Tribble Herder.

@Chainyanker the key thing to remember, is that you never get the one you ask for, but rather something you said somewhere that somebody notices.

see Slayerfaith's title Laughing

For "somebody" read "admin with a twisted sense of humour", right Lotta? Wink

This is what happens when you kill any type of PWT. They just spring up from nowhere. Shocked

Well, I never intended to start a PWT - I was just interested in the origins of custom titles. However, it's now out of control apparently. Sad

Oh, and Frozboz - my tag came from actual baiting too (since you asked).

Naw, there's also Juan's, and Ook's, and probably Homer J. Fong's, too.

Mine was from baiting, but I lost it when I was demoted to mod. (For those who don't remember or didn't see it, it was "A Daughter of Mermaid" from the first line in my signature.)

^^you should really have that back. It was a great tag line.

What, sort of "Daughter of a Moderator" so the rank still shows?
