* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: ''T''rouble in ''T''errorist ''T''own, or "TTT" for short.
* AlliterativeTitle: Again, ''T''rouble in ''T''errorist ''T''own, or "TTT" for short.

* BecauseImJonesy: As a traitor, one way to figure out the identity of the detective(s) is simply to claim to be one (and possibly start giving out false leads). Either the real detectives reveal themselves so the traitors can pick them off later or they have to stay silent, allowing the traitors to continue misinforming everyone else. This is one of many potential mindgames that can occur.

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal[=/=]AlliterativeTitle
* [[AscendedFanFic Ascended Game Mod]]: Was originally just a [[GameMod mod]] before Garry made it an official game mode.

* BatmanGambit: Part of the game is predicting other players' actions- for example, moving an unidentified body into a conspicious position so another traitor can light up the innocents that flock to the corpse. Of course, there are always the wild cards that [[SpannerInTheWorks are nearly impossible to predict]].

* BeneathSuspicion: Skilled traitors are usually able to pull this off.
* CassandraTruth: You can see a guy knife eight others in the back, watch him turn his attention to you, and then scream out his name over the mic multiple times as you're being murdered, and people ''still'' may not believe you.
** Then again, they might just not hear you because you were cut off by dying. Or they didn't understand whose name you said. Or they just did hear you but aren't alerting the traitor to the fact that they know. Or they might have muted you.

* DemonicPossession{{Poltergeist}}:

''Trouble in Terrorist Town'' is a gamemode for ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' in which there are [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits a group of ragtag terrorists]] who happen to have trouble among them. That trouble, as it happens to be, is that some of their group are not as loyal as one might first think. 1 out of every 4 terrorists in the town have turned on the cause, and have united together for a single, simple mission: [[KillEmAll Let none live.]]

** The C4 is incredibly loud, and if defused will give you away. However, if planted properly it is possible to kill ''everyone that can hear it''.

* EagleEyeDetection: Detectives can gather more information from inspecting corpses than regular innocents, such as who they last saw or their last words before they died. This isn't always sometihng that works in their favour, since a skilled traitor will shoot someone from behind while they're staring at someone else, make their escape and let the detective make the wrong conclusion.

* {{Griefer}}: Many players will just start indiscriminately killing everyone, even if they're not traitors. This is ban-worthy offense (termed "RDM" or "random deathmatch") since this undermines the whole point of the game.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: If you attach a Poltergeist to a body. Or use it to break something that causes death when broken (such as a panel that causes an airlock to open on a spaceship map. Taken even further with a traitor item that drops an unidentified body, but explodes upon someone trying to search it.

* KillItWithFire: The only way to get rid of a corpse, aside from putting it somewhere unreachable, is to burn it.

* RedHerringMole: Happens ''a lot'', most of the time it's unintentional, [[{{Griefer}} but there are exceptions]].

* SniperPistol: Lampshaded in an Honorable Mention Achievement being called "It's Like a Tiny Rifle", given to a player who killed many other players with the Desert Eagle. You can actually do this, but you have to use ironsights, and it's tricky.

* SuicideAttack: There's a common server mod that allow traitors buy [[ActionBomb suicide bombs]].

** Depending on how long the C4 was originally set for. For every 45-second increment, another wire turns lethal, with the max of 10 minutes being certain death.
* YouKeepUsingThatWord: Many people assume that the bad guy(s) is called the "terrorist", a mislabelling that is perpetuated by many Let's Play videos. In actuality, ''all'' the players are terrorists and they are trying to find the "traitor" among them.

* DemonicPossession[=/=]{{Poltergeist}}:

* KarmaMeter: Serves as a punishment for team-killers. The lower your meter, the less damage you do. Some servers automatically kick or [[CriticalExistenceFailure kill]] players whose karma drops too low. Many people don't care, though, and due to the above-mentioned "element of surprise" factor, it can be rather hard ''not'' to engage in some team-killing by mistake.

* NiceHat: Other than the fact that they're clearly labeled [[color:blue:DETECTIVE]], Detectives can usually be identified by the stereotypical deerstalker hat they're given.

* RedHerring: The Decoy, which Traitors can buy, is meant to provide innocents and detectives with useless, incorrect information.
* RedHerringMole: Happens ''a lot'', most of the time it's unintentional, [[{{Griefer}} but there are exceptions]].
* RightUnderTheirNoses: How traitors should try to play.

* TelevisionIsTryingToKillUs: Or rather, Let's Plays Of The Game Are Trying To Get Us Banned. In short, people like LetsPlay/{{Seananners}} and LetsPlay/{{Pewdiepie}} do a lot of things, such as killing people for bad reasons or talking with friends about what's going on through an outside channel like Skype (also known as "ghosting", though this is mainly a problem if you talk after you're dead and give away details), that will get you banned pretty quickly from most servers. In short, most of the people you see online playing this game are the ''last'' people you want to emulate when playing it.

* [[VillainsActHeroesReact Traitors Act, Innocents React]]: This is how the game is supposed to be played; however, {{Griefer}}s [[SubvertedTrope subvert]] this mentality ForTheEvulz.
** Another possible subversion is the process of elimination during the endgame when all the deaths have been confirmed and the number of possible suspects is equal to the number of traitors remaining.

* YouKeepUsingThatWord: Many people assume that the bad guy(s) is called the "terrorist", a mislabeling that is perpetuated by many Let's Play videos. In actuality, ''all'' the players are terrorists and they are trying to find the "traitor" among them.

''Trouble in Terrorist Town'' is a gamemode for GarrysMod in which there are [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits a group of ragtag terrorists]] who happen to have trouble among them. That trouble, as it happens to be, is that some of their group are not as loyal as one might first think. 1 out of every 4 terrorists in the town have turned on the cause, and have united together for a single, simple mission: [[KillEmAll Let none live.]]

Gameplay is essentially a cross between ''TabletopGame/{{Clue}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Counter-Strike}}'', and the often-forgotten crossover between ''Film/DieHard'' and ''AndThenThereWereNone''. As mentioned earlier, one out of every four terrorists is a traitor. The traitors' goal to is kill off all the remaining players before time runs out. Traitors can buy equipment such as body armor or a C4 with credits, but most importantly, they have the element of surprise. Even though the traitors are the minority of players, the innocents do not know who's a traitor and who isn't. It's up to the innocent players to find out who's a traitor using information from corpses and suspicious players to find out who the traitors are and kill them before they're killed themselves.

* CutHimselfShaving: "I fell."
** Although, given GarrysMod's terrible LadderPhysics, the above excuse is often completely true.
* DeathByFallingOver: The crowbar has a 'nudge' attack, allowing Traitors to push unsuspecting innocents off ledges.
** This can be impractical due to some turning around almost immediately after they're pushed off a ledge and seeing their killer's name, then blurting it out to their fellow innocents.
* DemonicPossession[=/=]{{Poltergeist}}: Objects can be possessed by players who died in the round. Certain props can even be manipulated to kill (or at least cripple) people. Some maps even have prop obstacle courses to give spectators something to do while waiting for a new round.

* DisposingOfABody: One particularly useful aspect of the Magneto Stick is allowing traitors to move bodies to more out-of-the-way areas, or where they're entirely unreachable.

* EagleEyeDetection: Detectives can gather more information from inspecting corpses than regular innocents, such as who they last saw or their last words before they died.

* GrievousHarmWithABody: If you attach a Poltergeist to a body. Or use it to break something that causes death when broken (such as a panel that causes an airlock to open on a spaceship map.

* IncrediblyObviousBomb: The C4 gives off a very distinctive beeping noise, signaling anybody who can hear it to get the hell out of wherever they are.

* KarmaMeter: Serves as a punishment for team-killers. The lower your meter, the less damage you do. Some servers automatically kick or [[CriticalExistenceFailure kill]] players whose karma drops too low.
** Many people don't care, though.

** You can actually do this, but you have to use ironsights, and it's tricky.

* RightUnderTheirNoses
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Some people really like to insist that they aren't a traitor.
** And sometimes non-traitors really like to act like they are one...
* TelevisionIsTryingToKillUs: Or rather, Let's Plays Of The Game Are Trying To Get Us Banned.

In short, most of the people you see online playing this game are the ''last'' people you want to emulate when playing it.

* WireDilemma: Anybody trying to defuse a C4 without a defuse kit has to pick from ''1 out of 6'' random wires. Killing the traitor that planted the bomb and inspecting the corpse will reveal the correct wire, but Cutting the WrongWire will cause the bomb to instantly explode.

* LethalJokeItem: Some servers have these as possible terrorist weapons. Two in particular stand out: a watermelon cannon, and a simple molotov cocktail. The melon canon is capable of reducing anyone hit with it to LudicrousGibs [[OneHitKO in one hit]], and the molotov, while expected to be dangerous, is usually not expected to detonate when thrown with an effect similar to a tactical nuke.

* WireDilemma: Anybody trying to diffuse a C4 without a diffuse kit a has to pick from ''1 out of 6'' random wires. Killing the traitor that planted the bomb and inspecting the corpse will reveal the correct wire, but Cutting the WrongWire will cause the bomb to instantly explode.

* SomebodySetUsUpTheBomb: The Traitor(s) did. Should the innocents risk their lives to find and defuse it for Detectives to gather the DNA, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere run]], [[TakeAThirdOption or does]] [[FailedASpotCheck everybody fail to know it's there at all]]?

* GrievousHarmWithABody

* ShortRangeShotgun: [[ExaggeratedTrope All the time]]! The bullet spread tends to be very inconsistent and is often horribly off center. Even with proper aim, a player would still be likely to miss because the pellets literally went around the target! This makes it very impractical beyond point blank range and even then, a proper OneHitKill may still be inconsistent (HitboxDissonance not withstanding).

* IncrediblyObviousBomb: The C4 gives off a very distinctiveness beeping noise, signaling anybody who can hear it to get the hell out of wherever they are.

** Sometimes it's [[LeeroyJenkins LEEEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOY JEEEEENKIIINS ]], which can be quite fitting considering the traitor has probably just rushed into a field of enemies, potentially getting your traitor buddies killed in the process.

* SniperPistol: Lampshaded in an Honorable Mention Achievement being called "It's Like a Tiny Rifle", Given to a player who killed many other players with the Desert Eagle.

* LookBothWays: A certain popular map[[hottip:*:ttt_67thway]] has cars endlessly zooming across a road, and many a terrorist has been mercilessly ran over by them. It doesn't help that the cars in question are completely silent and appear out of nowhere.
