Oddly enough...

Yes, actually, "tig" is a word. It's dialect, and one of the meanings is "annoy/pester/tease", so the remark she makes in her LJ about posting an "annoyed tig" is completely off. (See Webster's Third New International, if you're curious.)

An "annoying" tig, now, that would have been correct. Ridiculous, but correct.

Excuse me while I add this Lobelia chick to my list of Idiots Who Use Words Without Knowing Their Meanings.

	She seems to be using it in lieu of "comment". Which is just plain odd! points and laughs at Lobelia When trying to storm off in high dudgeon, it's usually best to make sure you don't trip on the corner of the rug on your way out. Figuratively speaking, of course. grin (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oh, honestly. Does she just expect them to take her off because she demands that it be done? Nobody on that list asked to be there, but I don't think anybody has the right to demand that they be taken off of it either.

Tig, is a perfectly sound word, both a noun and a verb, which has a similar meaning to tag, and I don't see why it can't be used the way lobelia uses it :)

please tig my most recent post on LJ to confirm that you have removed my name from this death whatever it is.

Because "match" is such a difficult word. You know what makes this worse is that my pen name in that fandom is Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, and people are always confusing the two of us. Maybe I should put up disclaimers.

Now I don't know what to do when her deathmatch comes up. Should I vote against her as a resounding expression of my "Bitch, please"-ness, or vote to keep her on just because it annoys her to be on there?

My understanding is that it's an identification of the Big Names in our fandom, so there isn't really permission involved - you are one of the Big Names. Luckily, your being on that list doesn't require you to do anything in particular. And I guess it's not as bad as having your fics taken, since they aren't doing anything with your (yummy) works of art. It's more like you're in one of those "Who's the Hottest Hunk" contests in TeenPeople, and you're Orlando!

Although I doubt they'll take your name off, your disinterest in being involved in the deathmatch may increase your chances of being voted off the BNF island soon - unless you get really upset, then it will probably entertain some people and raise your profile.

Yea for the voice of reason! She's so right. Squeaky wheel gets the torture.

I understand where she's coming from and might have felt the same had I not known ahead of time. And she's a lovely generous woman and a great writer. So she gets a pass from me this time. (Who cares about usage of the word "tig" -- it can mean anything we want it to mean.)

Oh dear. I do realise lobelia321's post sounds bitchy, and she should have asked to be removed, but well, she might just be reacting to being put into a competition with MsA and Victoria Bitter - won't YOU have been shocked if you were in her place? especially since she does nothing except write fic and post in fic communities and her own lj. Give the poor girl a break. Please.

'tig' is a word rpg-ers use to ask players to reply to one's own post.
