3	Located [[http://daisychainrpg.livejournal.com here]]. Project Daisychain was a multifandom RP based on the premise of ''Film/{{Cloverfield}}''. It ran from February 2008 to October 2009, when the plot of the game came to an end.
4
5	Tagruato Corporation, creators of such delicious beverages as Slusho, awoke an ancient monster from beneath the sea. After the events of the Cloverfield film, the people who didn't manage to make it out of Manhattan found themselves trapped. All roads off the island were destroyed. Worse, people suddenly started appearing in the city, people from all sorts of places, times, and universes. Their only hope of survival was to band together and discover the truth behind their imprisonment, the giant monster which rampaged through the city, and the labrador-sized crab monsters that inflicted a wasting disease on everyone they bit.

8	!! This game provided examples of:
9
10	* AndIMustScream: The people who turned into monsters retained their awareness from their human forms, but were fitted with control devices and unable to communicate in any way.
11	* BackFromTheDead: Big Mommy after she was killed. Some characters also had this reaction when they met dead canonmates from earlier on in their series, or from slightly different versions of their worlds (there were two universes for the Franchise/AceAttorney cast: The canon one, and an AU where Mia had moved to Manhattan instead of dying).
12	%%* BigApplesauce: A result of the source canon.
13	* BodyHorror: The eventual result of a crab bite: After festering for four months, it would cause a character to transform into another Cloverfield monster. This happened to [=NPCs=] on two separate occasions.
14	* BreakTheCutie: Mostly averted. A lot of the innocent characters got to stay innocent, or at least got stronger without becoming totally broken in the process.
15	%%* CrashIntoHello: How many threads started.
16	* CrazyEnoughToWork: Fetching all the dead fish and poisoning them and hoping Big Mommy would eat them all and die? And ''it worked''.
17	* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Yes, the characters did poison Big Mommy to death. Sadly there was a spare. Also: The fight against the monsters at the very end.
18	* FantasticRacism: The brewing hatred of the outsiders held by some of the native Manhattanites.
19	%%* TheGMIsACheatingBastard: CURSE YOU, MODS
20	* GovernmentConspiracy: Many characters suspected this. In the end it turned out there ''was'' one, but it was a conspiracy to rescue everyone from Tagruato.
21	%%* {{Kaiju}}: A granted.
22	%%* {{MacGyvering}}: Given the [[BigApplesauce state of Manhattan]], this was a given. Notable in also having the [[Series/MacGyver1985 Trope Namer]] involved here and there.
23	%%* TheMultiverse: How it worked got a nice big (illustrated!) explanation by the mods near the end of the game.
24	* PlotRelevantAgeUp: And age down, thanks to [[Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi Evangeline]]'s age-bending pills. Led to an in-game BigLippedAlligatorMoment when she spiked a plate of cookies in the Bryant Park Hotel lobby.
25	* SomeKindOfForceField: There was one of these around the island. Touching it from, for example, the north would transport the character to the corresponding point at the south.
26	%%* ThereAreNoTherapists: And boy, could some characters have used one.
27	* TrappedInAnotherWorld: Even the "native Manhattanites" weren't in their home universe anymore. It just wasn't obvious until late in the game.
28	%%* TrueCompanions: Many groups of these formed during the game's run.
29	* WhichMe?: There were two versions of many characters in the game at the same time. Characters who dropped and were re-apped had this happen too.
30	%%* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Taken for granted, as with most JournalRoleplay games.
