History Trivia / DeadlyMistakes

* [[MeanCharacterNiceActor Mean Character, Nice Roleplayer]]: Needless to say the roleplayers are much friendlier than the characters that they roleplay as, especially those who play villainous characters.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:

** Apparently Snowbelle and The Bride were going to have their own arcs early on, with Snowbelle's being named "Teeth" and The Bride's being named "California Rolls".

** Particularly so with Kainashi Namine and his roleplayer, as Kainashi is modeled after a certain toxic political ideology within the LGBT+ community.

** There are a couple of people who have taken to calling King Keter's group the "Keter Krew".

* OldShame: Most of the current roleplayers who were involved with the first two installments don't like to talk about what happened the first couple of times they tried to make this work.

** Some of the arcs had different names very early on.

* [[FanNickname "Fan" Nickname]]:

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Chester was intended to be one of the villains during the first couple of incarnations.
** Jewel wasn't supposed to show up as soon as she did, though at this point her own roleplayer has forgotten when exactly she was originally going to appear anyway.

* [[HeyItsThatVoice Hey, It's That "Voice"!]]: Some of the group members have developed a fictional voice cast for some of the characters. Here are a few of them:
** Chester is [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries Experiment 625/Reuben]].
** Delta [=McLain=] is [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Pacifica Northwest]].

** Princess Candy is not [[{{WesternAnimation/DaveTheBarbarian}} the princess of Udrogoth that shares the same name.]]

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Chester was intended to be one of the villains during the first couple of incarnations.

* [[FanNickname "Fan" Nickname]]: The first incarnation (and arguably the second) of [=DM=] has been nicknamed "'Nam" for how painful it is to look back at.

* NamesTheSame: The Professor is of no relation to the Professor from Series/GilligansIsland, nor is he related to that other Professor from WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat.

** Delta Mclain is [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Pacifica Northwest]].

* OldShame: Most of the current roleplayers who were involved with the first two installments don't like to talk about what happened the first couple of times they tried to make this work.

** Yuuka Kralie is [[Anime/PaniPoniDash Rebecca]].

** Yuuka Kralie is [[Anime/PrincessTutu Hermia]].

* OldShame: Plenty of the current roleplayers who were involved with the first two installments don't like to talk about what happened the first couple of times they tried to make this work.

** Princess Candy is not [[{{WesternAnimation/DaveTheBarbarian}} the princess of Udrogoth that shares the same name.]]

* NamesTheSame: The Professor is of no relation to the Professor from Series/GilligansIsland, nor is he related to that other Professor from WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat.

** SavedFromDevelopmentHell

* AscendedFanon: Kurgan Junior's real name; one person mentioned that they thought it might be Tina, and now WordOfGod has confirmed it.
* FlipFlopOfGod
** Dorian's roleplayer said she wouldn't ship him with anyone. Enter [[{{Tsundere}} Susan]]...
** The above-mentioned roleplayer also briefly mentioned that she more than likely wouldn't ship Madigan with anyone either. That is, up until Bernie's roleplayer started having him show some interest in her (albeit in a non-romantic way) and [[ShipperOnDeck Siren started shipping them]].
*** Actually, that's not completely her fault. Bernie's own roleplayer wasn't entirely sure if she'd want to ship him with anyone either; Siren shipping them was just supposed to be another part of what Siren liked to do with others.
** According to her roleplayer, Kurgan Junior was supposed to be [[YoungerThanTheyLook younger than she looked]] by looking to be in her twenties when she was really a teenager. After going over her {{Backstory}}, one of the other roleplayers (the one who originally created the concept of KJ, in fact) pointed out that this wasn't possible because during the time that the roleplay was taking place, KJ would be twenty-six and thus it should be [[InvertedTrope inverted]] into a case of her being [[OlderThanTheyLook older than she looked]].
** Thaddeus stated that he had fifteen rooms available for any visitors (he didn't count his own, of course), all of which ended up being occupied by the members of the group. Later on, Russel showed up and he ended up getting a room to himself without anyone moving out of any of their respectful rooms. After this was pointed out, Thaddeus' roleplayer said that he had more than fifteen rooms. Huh?!
*** To be fair, nobody specifically said that they were all occupied. [[TalkingToHimself Jezebel's/Ted's roleplayer]] revealed that they had been sharing a room all along without actually mentioning it before, so there probably was one room still available when Russel stopped by.
*** WordOfGod says that he was counting the number of people in ''need'' of rooms, but if that's case, he still screwed up because he miscounted who all needed rooms.
** Wilson's roleplayer said that Wilson (and, to an extent, the roleplayer himself) didn't know how old Madigan was despite the fact that earlier he clearly indicated that his character knew Madigan from some time before the roleplay started and it's been confirmed that Madigan knew him from before, too. He also felt pressured to help Wilson grow into a more likable character [[TheUnfavorite considering his popularity among the entire group]] through giving him a love, but he FailedASpotCheck unfortunately.
** [[spoiler:Xun Li's roleplayer was not planning on pairing him off with [[HalfHumanHybrid Marianela Pistoles]] and mentioned having him do a HeelFaceTurn, which would result in his death, after finding out the truth of what happened to his mother. But after an idea was discussed between his roleplayer, Marianela's roleplayer, and another roleplayer, the HeelFaceTurn and his death will be kept in the second arc but will also have him falling in love with Marianela, which will result in a DownerEnding for Marianela that will be an homage to the ending of Cronenberg's TheFly, which the other roleplayer suggested.]]
* ShrugOfGod
** Not even Grover's ''creator'' knew his gender at first, nor did she know exactly how old he is. The latter ''still'' isn't quite known.
** Siren has made it no secret that she ships Madigan/Bernie, but do Thaddeus and Mathew also ship them? Their roleplayer has hinted that they possibly might, but even he doesn't know the answer to this question.
*** Given that Mathew tried to help Dusk admit his feelings to Piper earlier and later he tried [[ShipperOnDeck playing]] [[TheMatchmaker matchmaker]] with Augustin and Cass, he might really be shipping them. The jury's still out on Thaddeus, though.
** Dorian's roleplayer has no idea how he was conceived or born, [[InterspeciesRomance nor does she]] [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction particularly want to]] [[{{Squick}} think about it]].
** Madigan's roleplayer doesn't know why she DoesNotLikeShoes; she just doesn't.
** Rowan's roleplayer has no idea whether or not he's gay.
** Kurgan Junior's roleplayer says that he'd never thought of what her real name might be.
*** To be fair, he didn't think that he would need to come up with one for her. Either way, she has now; WordOfGod says that it's Tina.
* [[TalkingToHimself Talking to Themselves]]: Happens with nearly every roleplayer who has more than one character (which is nearly everyone). The following characters all have the same roleplayer (and have shown up...[[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters so far]]):
** Piper, Dusk, Bernie and Siren.
*** She also plays Bernie's father, Reginald Stewart a.k.a. the [[{{Tommy}} Local Lad/The Champ]], for a while.
** Susan, Wilson, Eve, Matt, Serena and Kurgan Junior. The same person is also Roxy's roleplayer, but she was only mentioned toward the beginning before [[PutOnABus spontaneously]] [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse disappearing]].
** Madigan, Rowan, Dorian, Zetta and ([[CuteMute to a certain extent]]) Inochitori.
*** At one point she also played Madigan's father, [[Film/AliceInWonderland Tarrant "The Mad Hatter" Hightop]].
** Jim, Delta and Salvation.
*** For a short amount of time, he also played Hammond, a retired general who knew about Salvation. Granted, Hammond isn't a main character, but given that he's pretty much the reason Salvation turned out to be a CompleteMonster, he's worth mentioning.
** Mathew, Thaddeus, Cass, Bogwick, Kyle, and Xavier. He's also Rey's roleplayer, but she hasn't met any of his other characters (yet).
*** He also plays Kyle's father, [[Film/{{Highlander}} "Russel Nash"/Connor MacLeod]], from time to time, as well as some other random minor characters (the most notable being Oak, a drug-dealer in New York City that Kyle knows).
** Ellen "Newt" Junior and Brynja.
*** She's also played as [[{{Alien}} Ellen Ripley and Call]], Ellen's mother and her aunt, respectfully.
** Augustin, Heather, Jezebel, and Ted. She also plays Ryker, but he hasn't met any of her other characters (yet).
*** She's also played as [[HasTwoDaddies both of Heather's fathers]], [[{{Disney/Pinocchio}} Jiminy Cricket]] and [[Disney/{{Dumbo}} Timothy Mouse (with Dumbo himself tagging along)]].
** Yuuka, Kainashi, Wren and Toby.
** Fawn, Jennifer, Delon, Torque, Rachel, Qismah, Konrad, Kimiko, Faeton and Anurto.
*** She's also played [[WebComic/HomeStuck Vriska]], the mother of the twins (Faeton and Anurto).
** [[AscendedExtra Squawky]] is a special case because he has ''two'' role-players: the one that plays Mathew and the one that plays Augustin.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen
** Literally any Mistake that either went unadopted or was abandonned (usually for a different one).
** Originally, Ellen's roleplayer wanted her to find out about who her father was and what happened to him through a diary that her mother kept before and during the time she was pregnant, but dropped the idea in favor of a scrying session.
** Dusk was originally supposed to be a girl, but still have all of the traits that he has now, [[LesYay including the crush on Piper]]. His roleplayer decided not to go with the idea given that the name sounded more like a boy's name and she wanted to have at least one male character of her own (this was back when the character limit was three and before it changed to four and then five).
** Faeton was supposed to be an only child, but then her roleplayer decided to create the first set of twins for the group. Said twin was also going to be a girl, but then she changed her mind again and came up with how Anurto is now.
** Bernie was supposed to be in his older teen years like most of the other Mistakes, but after a while his roleplayer decided that she would rather have a boy closer to Madigan's age just to be a little different.
** Dorian was originally going to be a girl, but his roleplayer decided to make him male to even things out.
** Rey was originally supposed to be a highly neurotic male heavily modeled after Sam Kinison, but her roleplayer wanted to even things out a little, and felt the character worked better as a female.
** Wilson's roleplayer could've included something involving his toothbrush where Wilson's father, {{Deadpool}}, would show up some time after it was broken due to telling him that no harm should ever come to it. It might've worked and could've even been funny if done right, but he ended up being talked out of it once a few other roleplayers complained that it sounded like a little too much of an AssPull and that it seemed to make the toothbrush more important and interesting than Wilson himself.
** The Mizuhashi twins were originally going to be one (male) character, but their roleplayer thought the roleplay needed a female BigBad, but also wanted to keep the gender ratio of her characters even. So she made them twins.

*** He also plays Kyle's father, [[{{Highlander}} "Russel Nash"/Connor MacLeod]], from time to time, as well as some other random minor characters (the most notable being Oak, a drug-dealer in New York City that Kyle knows).

** During the dreaded "Page 38 Incident", Wilson's roleplayer said that Wilson (and, to an extent, the roleplayer himself) didn't know how old Madigan was despite the fact that earlier he clearly indicated that his character knew Madigan from some time before the roleplay started and it's been confirmed that Madigan knew him from before, too.
*** What's worse is that ''everyone else knew that she was a kid''. Wilson obviously FailedASpotCheck.
*** Wilson's roleplayer also said that he didn't really like her the way that he said he did. However, judging by some of the things he said to Madigan's father when he found out about his "confession" and confronted him about it, it's a little hard to tell if that's true.
*** Actually, the above incident and the whole Page 38 thing has been cleared up as a case of "Wilson can't think properly to save his life when pressured" (which seems to happen a lot). It just wasn't apparent at the time.

** Not even Grover's ''creator'' knew his gender at first, nor did she know exactly how old he/she/xe/it is. The latter ''still'' isn't quite known.

** Fawn, Jennifer, Delon, Torque, Rachel, Konrad, Kimiko, Faeton and Anurto.
*** She's also played [[WebComic/HomeStuck Vriska]], the mother of the twins.

** Originally, [[{{Omniglot}} Ellen's]] roleplayer wanted her to find out about who her father was and what happened to him through a diary that her mother kept before and during the time she was pregnant, but dropped the idea in favor of a scrying session.

* FlipFlopOfGod: Dorian's roleplayer said she wouldn't ship him with anyone. Enter [[{{Tsundere}} Susan]]...
** She also briefly mentioned that she more than likely wouldn't ship Madigan with anyone either. That is, up until Bernie's roleplayer started having him show some interest in her (albeit in a non-romantic way) and [[ShipperOnDeck Siren started shipping them]].

* ShrugOfGod: Not even Grover's ''creator'' knew his gender at first, nor did she know exactly how old he/she/xe/it is. The latter ''still'' isn't quite known.

* [[TalkingToHimself Talking to Themselves]]: Happens with nearly every roleplayer who has more than one character. The following characters all have the same roleplayer:
** [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Piper]], [[LovableCoward Dusk]], [[{{Adorkable}} Bernie]] and [[AnythingThatMoves Siren]].

** [[{{Tsundere}} Susan]], [[MommasBoy Wilson]] and [[BadAss Kurgan Junior]]. The same person is also [[PsychopathicManchild Roxy]]'s roleplayer, but she was only mentioned toward the beginning before [[PutOnABus spontaneously]] [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse disappearing]].
** [[CheerfulChild Madigan]], [[AmbiguouslyGay Rowan]], [[BrattyHalfPint Dorian]], [[{{Meganekko}} Zetta]] and (to a certain extent) [[CuteMute Inochitori]].

** [[UnfazedEveryman Jim]], [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Delta]] and [[OmnicidalManiac Salvation]].
*** For a short amount of time, he also played [[CompleteMonster Hammond]], a retired general who knew about Salvation. Granted, Hammond isn't a very major character, but given that the part he had is the original reason that the Nightmare Fuel entry was made, he's worth mentioning.
** [[CloudCuckoolander Mathew]], [[TheRedMage Thaddeus]], [[TheLadette Cass]], [[CasanovaWannabe Kyle]], and [[{{Dhampyr}} Xavier]].
*** He also plays Kyle's father, [[{{Highlander}} "Russel Nash"/Connor MacLeod]], from time to time.
** [[{{Omniglot}} Ellen "Newt" Junior]] and [[BigEater Brynja]].

** [[DeadpanSnarker Augustin]], [[GenkiGirl Heather]], [[ActionGirl Jezebel]], and [[RobotBuddy Ted]].

** [[TeamMom Yuuka]] and [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Kainashi]].
** [[NonIdenticalTwins Faeton and Anurto]], [[CaptainObvious of course]]. She's also [[FunnyAnimal Fawn]]'s roleplayer.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Originally, [[{{Omniglot}} Ellen's]] roleplayer wanted her to find out about who her father was and what happened to him through a diary that her mother kept before and during the time she was pregnant, but dropped the idea in favor of a scrying session.

** Wilson's roleplayer could've included something involving his toothbrush where Wilson's father, {{Deadpool}}, would show up some time after it was broken due to telling him that no harm should ever come to it.
