Determinator - Matthayter's constant quest to be understood and respected touches on this trope.

... I know I said I'd stop posting once the "same topics as before without longwindedness" experiment was over, but I felt compelled to reply to that.

You talk about that "quest" as if it was only about being respected personally by this community, and had nothing to do with proving a point to this site regardless of what they thought of me. Sort of like back when I listed various things this site seemed to be wrong about, in response to this site's automatic "you've been wrong about this and that" dismissiveness. (Well, at the time.) Even though I was saying stuff like "isn't it a bit hypocritical of popular opinion here" etc... it was looked at like it was some kind of trollface scenario. I know you don't have to take my word for it, but does that really make yours better?

Anyway, I don't read much TVtropes but I find I'd often think "really, I thought it was the other way around" for some of what they claim is commonly portrayed in entertainment. As for local tropes, I guess "Deadpan Snarker" might apply to some of the members here. o.o

Yeah, suuuuure.

How 'bout....

Start My Own - Creoboard, Italics
Let's Play - The video game commentaries of yesteryear.
Wretched Hive - The SPA.
Official Couple - Craig & Sage.
Fo Yay - Craig & Harley. <3 *shot*

Hmmm I wonder who fits under the title of Cloudcuckoolander

popularity threads?! on the mofo! what poppycockery is this?! 😮
tried to use tvtripes to see if i could find something to expand the lists...but by god... D:
also,

Start My Own - Creoboard

But not.. .

I totally just thought a few of them right off the top of my head. If I find anymore, I'll edit my post if I'm not too sidetracked. I waste my time on the site if I have nothing else to do.

Furry Fandom- There are users who are proud to be a furry.
Shipping/Ho Yay- These two go together, a very common joke among forumers a while back. So common it had its own command in MF's old FlashChat. (correct me if I'm wrong on that )
Fan Disservice- Any pictures of LNR that have ever been posted. 'Nuff said.
Tastes Like Diabetes- How I tend to think of my art when I draw stuff.

Shipping/Ho Yay- These two go together, a very common joke among forumers a while back. So common it had its own command in MF's old FlashChat. (correct me if I'm wrong on that )

"Tergonaut and Mau Evig, Cycle and Jimro, Lee and Astrid, and Rico and everybody's leg."

I'll just post some that I know, even though I don't know that many.

But I think you'd agree that this one fits a certain poster very well! m/

The Stoner - Rishi

The first one would apply to Nuchtos too if he was still around

Rico and Ultra for shipping and ho-yay.

Don't make me find the pic.

... I don't get it.

But thanks for being your first pick on your list? X3

To keep this organized I'm going to try and periodically put all these tropes into one list every so often.
Don't hold me to that, though. I might add in my own, too.

Improbable Weapon User - Chibi Becca, the resident Spork Fu master

EDIT: You know what? I'm just going to edit that into my previous post instead of reposting the whole darn thing.

Nightmare Fuel/Squick - LNR, and LNTK for those who remember Eliteboard's GM: Exodus started by Tergonaut.

Matt, i'm sure you'll notice the irony in your post later. 😛

Here's two easy ones now that I've stepped into this thread.

Made of Win - Psxphile
Crac Fic - Kiorien's fanfic of Shadoe's Quest Adventure

Really Seven Hundred Years Old- Psxphile
Beautiful All Along- several female members
Named After Somebody Famous- Dur, of course people's web names on here would be named after Sonic characters

Will post more later

I...don't remember that part, Kaze. Is there still a link to it?

Thought of some more.

Nebulous Evil Organization/ Evil Twin - The Evil Admins

Quirky Miniboss Squad - Said Admins' subordinates

Artifact of Doom - The Cosmic Icky Stick

Amazon Brigade - All of the forum senshi

Elaborate Underground Base - Okay, while not underground, I believe the Crystal Floating Fortress counts

Ridiculously Cute Critter - Cuddles and Sailor Evil's Wrath

Temporal Paradox - Often caused by everyone's favorite former lackey ^-^

Squick - LNR EDIT: Disregard. I didn't notice Kaze had already mentioned this.

Slightly OT, something that slipped my mind.

*tacklehugs Craig*

Awesome to see you again!

Edited that into mah post, btw.

Gosh, this topic is beautiful.

Creepy Doll- I don't think we need to name names.
Wise Beyon their years- Deckman
Endless Game- Whoever posts last wins
Scenery Porn- As far as the background art on this place goes
One Scene Wonder- Averted due to the fact that new posters only a greeting post and never return
Parody Episode- The MoFo Idol
Shout Out- The Shoutbox
Lost Forever- [This example is missing and cannot be restored]

Those have been put in with extreme... uh... prejudice, I geuss.

Not sure what that means but it sounds cool.

Posting in an epic thread.

Ooh, my turn!

Opposite Sex Clone - Sailorness, what else?
Gender Bender - Though to be fair, Sailorness started as this.
Attractive Bent Gender - A side-effect of the above, naturally. Though it depends on which of the Sailorness Scouts you run into...
Butt Monkey - The starter of this thread. Also, any number of MoForumers at any period of time over the years.
Character Development - Naturally, given the Group Missions or any of the MoFics by Tergonaut.
Ecchi - Rishi. Hands down.
The Glomp - How newbies are greeted (when nobody's hungry).
Eldritch Abomination - Cuddles the Eep. Also, Nightshade and anything in the dream dimension of Group Mission: Revival.
Crowning Moment of Funny - Name a skit by WB. Any one. It'll be comic gold. Also, forumer reactions to the April Fool's board changes.

What are you saying is ironic about it? I figured it was a little ironic when posting it, in that by posting after I said I wouldn't just to "correct" Craig about something, I might've made what he said more apparent... but were you talking about something else?

Nope. You pretty much hit the nail on the head!

^ Metal is overlooked once more!

Hey, I'm the one that mentioned you, you could be a bit nicer ;-;

Crowning Moment of Funny - Name a skit by WB. Any one. It'll be comic gold. Also, forumer reactions to the April Fool's board changes.

DON'T FORGET VORTEX! DO NOT FORGET VORTEX! You're an oldbie! YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE!

~Shadowed Spirit Sage

Vortex actually came to mind, but his funniest stuff were his older scromics; the newer ones were sort of 'eh'.

At any rate, these are tropes! They're meant to be added to. }:|

I...don't remember that part, Kaze. Is there still a link to it?

http://www.sonic-hq.net/e...oard/viewpost.php?t=1832 - Here it is, Rose. Too bad it died. :<

Some more.

Political Stereotype - Invoked by multiple sides in some form or fashion throughout the history of the Marble Garden.
Strawman Political - Also invoked on occasion...
Strawman Has A Point - ...which sometimes results in this.
Almost Lethal Weapons - Death? What's that? Doesn't matter what you get hit with, in the MoFo, you're fine and dandy. Especially in a Hammerspace Duel. However, there are aversions...
Killed Off For Real - If it's an official MoFic or a Group Mission, changes to your character are official. Even death.
Promoted Fanboy - Jonathon H. Gray (WB), having worked on Archie Comics' "Sonic the Hedgehog". I'm pretty sure Ian Flynn once frequented here (or maybe I'm thinking of Ian J. of RPG World), not sure about J. Axer or Dawn Best though.
Made Of Iron - Goes hand-in-hand with 'Almost Lethal Weapons' for anything not serious. For a serious example, CJ's stomach, oddly enough.
Magic Wand - The Cosmic Icky Stick. In the hands of an Admin and/or in conjunction with the Figment Keys, is also part Doomsday Device, part Weather Control Machine (though it'd be more appropriate to say 'Reality' Control Machine).
Hyperspace Arsenal - What you fight with in a Hammerspace Duels.
Hyperspace Mallet - Why do you think we called it 'Hammerspace'?
Weirdness Magnet - THE ENTIRE MOFO.
Cloud Cuckoolander - Dr. Fexusfan. Full stop. Is also, on occasion, Crazy Awesome.

Sorry for missing yours earlier, Hukos.

As Himself - On the MoFo, Rishi goes by the name..... 'Rishi'.

Jerk Ass - Ichigo Kurosaki.

Voice Of Reason - Samanfur.

"As Himself" would be someone on there that uses their real name as their screenname you idiot. *Points at Craig* There is your tag for that one.

Who're you calling an 'idiot'? 'Rishi' is my real name as well as my screen-name. *points at himself* There is my tag for that one.

  • Deadpan Snarker- A great deal of the forumers. Creo in particular probably fits well here due to his cynicism and his way of pointing out flaws... [/list:u:578281ebac]

        [*]Magic Wand - The Cosmic Icky Stick. In the hands of an Admin and/or in conjunction with the Figment Keys, is also part Doomsday Device, part Weather Control Machine (though it'd be more appropriate to say 'Reality' Control Machine). [/list:u:578281ebac]
        [*]Mysterious Waif - The way Ari acts fits this in the personality department. (Besides the naivete part.) Heck, she's even pretty mysterious, too! [/list:u:578281ebac]

        [*]Sliding Scale Of Idealism Versus Cynicism - This troper believes this forum used to be on the idealistic side when it first started out. Now it just sort of slides between cynicism and a balance of idealism and cynicism.

        • Sliding Scale of Silliness Versus Seriousness - This forum was firmly on the silliness side first starting out... now it's just all over the place. The SPA is still firmly on the silly side of the scale, though. [/list:u:578281ebac]

Craig you are evil for even starting this topic, Tropes in an eldritch abomination in it's own right, don't come running to me when you've all lost days to it. After all, it's not m- wait, where did tuesday go?

Edit: Also, What kind of lame power is Heart anyway fits the mofoteers, after all, how could control over the element of orange be useful?
And I my have used to play the Handsome Lech but since IRL I'm neither handsome, nor particularly a Lech, I cannae be bothered half the time anymore.

I figured since I posted in this earlier, may as well now that I'm a little more familiar with TVT. First off, I know I'm bumping an old thread but I checked with Vec and he says it's not a problem.

Butt Monkey - Myself for a while, at least earlier on. Seems to have worn off more recently though.

Chekovs Gun - Arguably invoked when I bring up old conversations, sometimes to discuss them, but more often as "examples" of something.

Deadpan Snarker - Plenty of users over the years, but Acrio (at least a few years ago) and Vector seem to be especially apparent examples.

Getting Crap Past The Radar - Well, does it count if you later call it that?

Jerk With A Heart Of Gold - Various users, but I'd say this applies especially well to Geogwe and Deckman. (I presume this trope is okay to mention if Jerkass was.)

Ironic Echo - People using catchphrases on the users they are associated with. Can't recall specific examples, but I think I recall someone using "you think you're some kind of mind reader?" on me, and I think I recall someone else using "you have a right to be wrong" on Jimro. o.o

Real Women Never Wear Dresses - Erika's expressed regret about writing something "girly" like love poems. Even though love poems aren't necessarily thought of as girly even when guys write them. Not denying that she's smart; she obviously is smart seeing as how she knows several languages; just commenting on her logic about that one subject. o.o

Tempting Fate - Myself years ago refuting others' perceptions of me as stupid with "oh yeah, well I get good grades" might qualify as this, seeing as how it doesn't apply as much recently.

Wow, I entirely forgot I made this thread. My how I've changed *laughs*.

What exactly are you referring to? o.o

He now moonlights as Anti-Tropy, destroyer of memes!

I've changed in the way that I've recently been quoted as not thinking that the Mobius Forum can be approximated neatly into tropes. Then I realize I once believed it enough to make a thread about it. Kind of funny how something I'd think ridiculous and unthinkable is something that I'd done a year or so ago and simply forgotten about.

That was going to be my second guess.

Ah, I see. Wow, I didn't realize just how old this thread was until you pointed it out. o.o

In any case, I'm not sure "approximated" by tropes is necessarily implied, unless it requires that the entirety of this site be a linear combination of the tropes involved. I thought the idea was more so to see how certain tropes applied to certain aspects of this forum and all that, so I don't think it's really all that contradictory.
