* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Faction leaders get bonuses to ALL rolls. This led to the creation of several factions, which (in turn) lead to [[OhCrap someone with a higher bonus than anyone and a gun]] [[OneHitKO that kills any player in one hit]] [[DeathIsCheap (temporarily,]] [[ContinuingIsPainful although with a lowered bonus if a faction leader)]].

* RunningGag: Early on, ice cream made an appearance in many failed rolls.

%%* TheStarscream: [[EvilOverlord misko27]] saw [[LawfulGood GreatWyrmGold]] to be this.

* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: After the epilogue, lampshaded with a PotHole to Wiki/ThisVeryWiki by Corai.

As the page quote indicates, the "plot" was originally that the players were trying to slay an evil lich in a tower. Since then, it has... ''slightly'' [[OffTheRails derailed]]. Now, [[ItMakesSenseInContext after many changes of arena, boss, and players,]] it is a struggle between [[GenderBender the lichette]] [[InterspeciesRomance and her husband Dirg]]; [[TheEmpire a massive interstellar empire lead by misko27]]; [[{{VideoGame/Portal}} Aperture Science]], led by "Pragmatic Good" OnlySaneMan mecha-dragon [=GreatWyrmGold=] and located on a spaceship; [[TestosteronePoisoning the Manly Men]], led by [[HeelFaceTurn former]] [[OmnicidalManiac attempted omnicidalist Xantalos]]; [[TheAlcoholic The Drunken Fools]], led by Yoink; [[FluffyTheTerrible Tim]]; and [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters many others]], [[DoubleAgent including "members" of the aforementioned sides]].

* OnlySaneMan: GreatWyrmGold claims to be this, and while he's a bit crazy himself, [[CloudCuckooLand he may be right]].

* AboveGoodAndEvil: misko27 claims to be this.
* AbsoluteXenophobe: misko27
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Faction leaders get bonuses to ALL rolls. This lead to the creation of several factions, which (in turn) lead to [[OhCrap someone with a higher bonus than anyone and a gun]] [[OneHitKO that kills any player in one hit]] [[DeathIsCheap (temporarily,]] [[ContinuingIsPainful although with a lowered bonus if a faction leader)]].

* BeleagueredAssistant: [[OnlySaneEmployee GreatWyrmGold]] saw himself as this while working with misko27.
* BigBad: Originally the lich.
* BossBanter: Also banter from...well, just about everyone.
* BossBattle: Originally. [[OffTheRails Not so anymore.]]
* BossGame: Originally. Now there's a lot of enemies to choose from, [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder mostly other players]].
* CardCarryingVillain: Xantalos, misko27, and a few others.
* TheChessmaster: misko27 attempted to be this. The dice had other ideas.
** As did [=GreatWyrmGold=], Corai, Xantalos, pretty much everyone else...
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Most people, to some extent.
** [=GreatWyrmGold=] has been accused of this to a great extent, due to not really fitting in with either of the two main factions. Currently, he is leaning more towards the Romantics.
* CloudCuckooLander: [[CloudCuckooLand Almost everyone.]]

* TheDragon: [[OmnicidalManiac Xantalos]] used to be one for [[EvilOverlord misko27]].
** Long before that, Corai was the main (if not sole) minion for the lich, and remarkably effective.

* FinalBoss: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Of course!]]
* FollowTheLeader: Presumably why so many people started starting factions.

** Dirg is often accused of this.

* HeelFaceTurn: Possibly when [=GreatWyrmGold=] formed the [[TakeAThirdOption Moderates]].

* NotSoDifferent: Pick any two major factions.
** Romantics and Paladins: Both are led by evil people.
** Paladins and Moderates: The Moderates now possess the most devastating weapon in the game (as of this point), despite seceding from the Paladins because of their [[StupidEvil maniacal]] tendencies.

* OldShame: At one point, the thread title was YOU AT FINAL BOSS: SOURCE OF MY GREAT SHAME.

** Also da_nang's Void faction

* [[OnlySaneEmployee Only Sane Minion:]] GreatWyrmGold saw himself as this while working under misko27.

* PlayableEpilogue: For a single turn.

* TheStarscream: [[EvilOverlord misko27]] saw [[LawfulGood GreatWyrmGold]] to be this.
* ThatOneAttack: Tim's [[OneHitKill g]][[BroughtDownToNormal u]][[ContinuingIsPainful n]]

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Early on, this was common. Later, Spinal_Taper stopped this, to prevent headaches on his part.

* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: After the epilogue, lampshaded with a PotHole to ThisVeryWiki by Corai.

* LongRunner: For a minimalist Roll to Dodge, at least. Most don't reach 30 pages; You At Final Boss has over ''200'', plus an Out of Character thread of about the same length.

Read the insanity [[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=113993.0 here]]

* BadBoss: [[EvilOverlord misko27]] threatened GreatWyrmGold repeatedly for his questioning of the former's orders and arguments with Xantalos.

** As did GreatWyrmGold, Corai, Xantalos, pretty much everyone else...

** GreatWyrmGold has been accused of this to a great extent, due to not really fitting in with either of the two main factions. Currently, he is leaning more towards the Romantics.

* HeelFaceTurn: Possibly when GreatWyrmGold formed the [[TakeAThirdOption Moderates]].
* LongRunner: For a minimalist Roll to Dodge, at least. Most don't reach 30 pages; YaFB has over ''200'', plus an Out of Character thread of about the same length.

* NewBossNewDimension: Played with. New dimensions were entered regularly early on, ranging from Hell to the galactic core to [[Portal Aperture Science]] to [[RunningGag ''a mountain of ice cream]]...

* OmnicidalManiac: Xantalos, until he gave up, destroyed a [[Spore]] universe, and founded [[TestosteronePoisoning the Manly Men faction]].

* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: After the epilogue, lampshaded with a PotHole to THisVeryWiki by Corai.
-> GreatWyrmGold: I still hit my goal. [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness Female canine.]]

* WithFriendsLikeThese: More than once, people have been backstabbed by others allegedly working with them in the past, or even [[ExaggeratedTrope ''ones currently working FOR them'']]!
