Some people might disagree with this, but I think that tags like that should be hyperlinks that link to something that gives context to the tag.

Maybe it could be done for every tag honestly even individually unique ones, but especially community events or whatever focused ones that have been given out.

I've felt this way about the forum tags for years honestly, but I can also understand the appeal of "you had to be there" in order to understand a tag's context.

I feel like tags lose their importance when there are so many One-Winged Slayers or Avengers out there.

there are still some unique custom tags here, they're just very rare and i assume you have to be part of some discord to get one.

I mean, it's just a matter of who jumped through what silly little hoop when, really. It's entirely incidental how many people did so, whether that's being here for the Great Migration or kicking Sephiroth's ass in a goofy fighting game and documenting it.

My tag for isntance refers to an event prior to one of the Avengers movies (can't remember which, probably Endgame) where you simply signed up, and you had a 50-50 chance of getting banned or spared. Those spared got my tag, those that got banned (temporarily) got "The Fallen."

The Avengers and The Fallen were from a thing we did here before the last Avengers movie came out. Everyone could sign up. Half of the participants were randomly banned (for a month maybe?) and became The Fallen. The other half survived and are Avengers.

For lovers
I bought courtside tickets to read a book.

That isn't really what happened but a former admin took it that way...

I think people expected Very Hard Sephiroth to be a little bit of a harder fight so there are a good chunk of OWSs out there.

Oh, community events. Thank you, post No.8
Lol no problem. Specifically, the "One Winged Slayer" one had to do with some Sephiroth community challenge in Smash Bros to beat him on Very Hard(?). The others I don't really know as much about but were some stuff different slices of the community got really into at various points.

they should let us choose our own
I don't agree. I'm more inclined to think that they should be more rare/unique rather than the inverse. But fun community occurrences/events are okay, especially if lots of people around here like that.

I like having them as a "badge of honor"/"mark of shame" only handed out in select circumstances.

Transistor promised me a tag with the whole Bionic Commando Halo Infinite fiasco several months back.

The man has failed to deliver.
