Thanks, Geth.
Bob, I don't have time today to go through this article and its linked documents, but I suspect it's another example for Big Lie.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVIII - Bob Schroeck - 01-21-2021
Yeah, I do think you're right.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVIII - robkelk - 01-23-2021
Another new user to keep an eye on, mostly for the good reasons: "Iloveicecream"
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVIII - robkelk - 01-23-2021
I see we're down to two spam posts in the last ten days. Do you think the spammers have given up?
(Either way, let's keep Moderation turned on, to catch the next wave of spam.)

Do we really not have a trope/useful note/just for fun page about how some games are more lethal than others? "Sliding Scale of Game Lethality" doesn't exist, at least not under that name.
I was expecting a sliding scale because there's a continuum of possibilities from Yoon (your character cannot die) to Traveller (your character can die before the game starts).

That does not ring a bell. Time to open the page creator!
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVIII - robkelk - 01-24-2021
Started - feel free to add to it while it's still in my sandbox
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVIII - robkelk - 01-24-2021
And a big "thank you" to User:Utini501, who asked before copying a few tropes from TV Tropes. I gave the usual advice (tropes aren't copyrightable, but expressions of them are, so we have to re-write them from scratch) and mentioned that the Trope Workshop is full right now. Utini501's most recent changes have been grammar fixes of some of the trope candidates we have in the queue.

Hmmmmm... I think this might be a better image for the Big List of Booboos and Blunders than what I put there because it didn't have an image.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVIII - Bob Schroeck - 01-25-2021
...well, I kinda like the one there now, but yeah, this would work well, too.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVIII - robkelk - 01-25-2021
We can point to the web comic as an example, if you'd rather.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVIII - Bob Schroeck - 01-25-2021
I don't feel strongly about it either way.
On the subject of feeling strongly, though, NormAtreides and his agenda-pushing is starting to annoy me. Am I alone in this?
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVIII - robkelk - 01-25-2021
I will admit to having rephrased my last few responses to him before posting them...
I'm not going to cut him off, though. The wiki does not censor for politics. Period.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVIII - Bob Schroeck - 01-25-2021
Agreed. I can still be annoyed. And whenever he won't put an edit reason for an obvious political change or deletion, I will revert it.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVIII - robkelk - 01-27-2021
I keep getting thanked for this forum post - maybe we should add it to the Trope Workshop Guidelines.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVIII - Bob Schroeck - 01-27-2021
Not a bad idea. I've found I've had to explain the same or congruent ideas myself... that the list of tropes itself is a list of facts, and facts can't be copyrighted, but the descriptions of the individual facts are.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVIII - robkelk - 01-27-2021
In the "I'll take my amusement where I can find it" section of the wiki, we have this bit... until I fix the pages so that they don't point to the redirect any more.

Do we have an equivalent to Ironic Echo when the echo is so definitely not ironic that it's a Heartwarming Moment?
(The example I have is currently covered under Book Ends, because that applies too... but the wording used in both scenes is almost identical with the speaker and listener swapped. And, no, I don't have a second example, let alone a third, so I'm not going to start a new YKTTW page for it.)
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVIII - Bob Schroeck - 01-29-2021
Doesn't ring a bell.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVIII - robkelk - 01-29-2021
It's probably Too Rare to Trope, then.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVIII - robkelk - 01-30-2021
Would somebody please explain to me why we have both "Category:Artistic License" and "Category:Artistic License Indexes"?
Before I just go ahead and merge them, that is.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVIII - robkelk - 02-01-2021
Bob, Brent, and Geth, anybody want to weigh in here?
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVIII - Labster - 02-02-2021
I weighed in. This is one of the reasons I'd like a short trope description that doesn't suck, so people don't go off making their own versions all the time.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVIII - Bob Schroeck - 02-02-2021
Thanks. I suppose I should eventually read the wall-o-text Kuma flung specifically at me, but they write so poorly it's painful to do.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVIII - robkelk - 02-02-2021
I was only able to skim through it... If I read it correctly, the gist is "that trope has a name that's different from the meaning of this trope candidate". I replied by linking to Tropes Are Flexible and giving an anime example of a metahuman whose code name doesn't quite match her powers.
