History YMMV / TheSkyTides

* EndingAversion: Inevitable with certain character arcs, but the main plot got resolved in full, even if it took three months to do it.

* WinTheCrowd: The Kropmork assassinations had to be this.

* ActorShipping: Munshipping was ''huge'', and only some of it was joking!

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: Complaints were made when the game first started about the structure, which kept everyone in mod-controlled {{Cast Herd}}s instead of letting individual players run their own airships. This structure actually ''helped'' in the end by preventing the rampant character limbo caused by drops by keeping all the ships under mod control and having ready replacements for captains and first mates who dropped the game, as well as by allowing the plot to progress at a believable pace set by people who knew what was going on. And the game? It lasted from 2008 to 2011 and had a proper beginning, middle, and end. So ha.

* AwesomenessWithdrawal: It's... it's actually ''over''. Why? ;A;
** The reason that sequel supporters, reboot supporters, and SpiritualSuccessor supporters alike stated for their positions. We all miss ''TST'' and want more -- just a different kind of more.

* CharacterRerailment: Thank you, ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' cast.

* CrackPairing: Many of them are game-canon. Many of them [[ItMakesSenseInContext only make sense in context.]]

* FanonDiscontinuity: The ''Silvana'' was invaded by robots? What are you talking about?

* HoYay: The game is actually considerably light on yaoi and yuri hook-ups compared to other roleplays. It makes up for it with this trope in spades.
* IdiosyncraticShipNaming: A lot of people in the game ''really'' don't like {{Portmanteau Couple Name}}s for some reason or another, and many of the players took it upon themselves to think of new ship names because of this. The results were... mixed, but names like "Bentoshipping" get about as much use as their counterparts like "Ichiwata".

* MemeticMutation: Are you a bad enough dude to [[NiceJobBreakingItHero kill the president]]?
** Go to bed, [X].
** An older one: [[Manga/DeathNote Mello]] is Music/{{Elvis|Presley}}!

** Ichigo being [[CargoShip planesexual]].
** Kaoru likes beds.
** Dice ship everything!
** Rou can only have what he doesn't want.

*** Peanut butter cups!

* NewbieBoom: After the SeriesHiatus.

* RonTheDeathEater: Parodied in a KinkMeme story making fun of bad fanfiction, in which the ParodySue deposes a suddenly evil main character who would have shown the viewers no sign of being evil just for the sake of the fanbrat author's plot. The kicker? It's '''''[[HilariousInHindsight Bradley]]'''''.

* IdiosyncraticShipNaming: A lot of people in the game ''really'' don't like PortmanteauCoupleNames for some reason or another, and many of the players took it upon themselves to think of new ship names because of this. The results were... mixed, but names like "Bentoshipping" get about as much use as their counterparts like "Ichiwata".

* HamAndCheese: The players of [[Franchise/AceAttorney Manfred von Karma]], [[VideoGame/{{Lunar}} Leo]], and [[Manga/{{Gintama}} Itou]] had a field day with this one after all their characters were hit by Berserk during a StandardStatusEffects plot. Their conversation over their journals in the middle of the battle [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments became one of the most memorable moments in that entire plot]].

* MagnificentBastard: Any villain who had their own subplot affecting a whole ship (Kefka had Doma, Gin had Morris, etc.) or the whole game was more than likely one of these. (Kaoru doesn't count. She had her own plot, but [[spoiler:it was about ''rescuing'' her, not about something horrible she had done and gotten away with.]]) NPC-wise, Wilsborough is an ObstructiveBureaucrat who stares evidence of Denouement's conspiracy in the face and gleefully ignores it to blame his political enemies for the atrocities instead; it's implied in the epilogue that [[spoiler:he was a member of Denouement himself, and may even have been the one who sent the disguised order to plant the bombs in Parliament]].

* CrazyAwesome: It's... easier to list who isn't.

** An older one: [[Manga/DeathNote Mello]] is [[ElvisPresley Elvis]]!

* ComeForTheXStayForTheY: Many of the muns came for the unique setting and the chance to play an AU without {{Mundanization}}, which dominated AU games when TST opened back in 2008. Then the plot really got going, and that's what TST is best known for now.

* FetishFuelStationAttendant: Chat has, from time to time, named characters such as [[VideoGame/{{Lunar}} Jean]] and [[{{Persona 3}} Minato]] as these. Then it was joked that ''[[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 Milk]]'' is one, despite being treated in-story as anything from [[DoggedNiceGuy unfortunately]] [[ACupAngst disadvantaged]] to (more common in memes and sex dice) [[AbhorrentAdmirer completely]] [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman undesirable]].

* MemeticSexGod: Two, actually: [[PeacemakerKurogane Hijikata Toshizou]] and [[Franchise/AceAttorney Angel Starr]].

* AngstWhatAngst: [[AceAttorney Edgeworth]] made jokes about his own "death".

* FanPreferredCouple: The two had no significant interaction when Franziska was still in the game, and there's no indication the two would have any interest in each other, or even [[AmbiguouslyGay in each others' genders]]. So why, exactly, were there players shipping [[AceAttorney Franziska]] and [[Manga/{{Gintama}} Toshirou]]? Well... in short, because it's funny.

* [[EverybodyRemembersTheStripper Everybody Remembers the Badporn]]

* MoralEventHorizon: [[{{Bleach}} Gin]] eating {{Ika-chan}}.

* CharacterRerailment: Thank you, ''{{Bleach}}'' cast.

* [[AndTheFandomRejoiced And The Players Rejoiced]]: We're losing all five ships? Well, I guess if it had to happen, but it just won't be the same without (mun's favourite ship here)... wait, '''''these''''' are the new ships!? This'll be awesome!

* TheWoobie: Oh, heck, no matter who it is, usually ''someone'' will bawl their eyes out [=OOCly=] when a character is having a rough time.

** Nobody who's tried to explore the lower cloud layer has ever returned. It seems like a throwaway bit of flavour text to set the world in a sort of Age of Exploration, but much, ''much'' later in the game, we find out that [[spoiler:they were all eaten by a giant snake.]]

* SeinLanguage: "Peanut butter cups" has become slang for "EveryoneIsBi" even [=OOCly=].

* AntiShippingGoggles: Kept being enforced over and over by the muns of Ichigo and Watanuki... [[ILied just to throw people off]] until the characters actually ''did'' get together.

Some of us think this. Some of us don't. Or something like that.
