[[http://community.livejournal.com/polychromatic Old and first community here.]] [[http://poly-chromatic.dreamwidth.org It was moved this year to here.]]Used to be a "spooky jamjar" game, but is now more crack/slice-of-life set in a city called "The City." Deities kidnap characters and make them go through periodic curses.

----
!! This game provides examples of:
%%* AccidentalKiss - Mistletoe curse inspires random bouts of this.
%%* AccidentalPervert - Might as well change that to perverts...
%%* AerithAndBob - Unavoidable, considering the panfandom nature of the game.
* AlternateUniverse - Possible with several different curses and events, including:
** A Road Not Taken - Cursed characters are changed based on whether they made a different life-altering choice.
%%** Genre Switch
** The Years That Never Were - What would have happened if a character's life was changed due to events outside their control.
* AnotherDimension - The setting for the game. The City also has its own in the form of the [[MirrorWorld Shadow City]], which also doubles as a PocketDimension.
%%* AnyoneCanDie - Though usually, they return.
%%* AxeCrazy - Induced by some plots and curses, such as the Heads Will Roll curse. Characters came down with the irresistible urge to behead each other.
* BackFromTheDead - Characters who have died in canon can be played in the game and characters who die within the game are revived in an undead state; both are known as City dead. Also applies to curses that carry death exemptions, where killed characters are revived afterwards without consequences.
%%* BigDamnHeroes - Whenever there's danger, this will burst through like nuts.
%%* BishieSparkle - One curse caused City!dead characters to [[Literature/{{Twilight}} sparkle in sunlight]].
%%* BodySnatcher - During a plot involving [[PuppeteerParasite alien slugs]].
%%* BreakingTheFourthWall - The popular 4th Wall Day curse, a seasonal regular.
%%* BroughtDownToNormal - Curses such as Average Joe rob characters of superpowers.
%%* CensorBox - Averted with the curse Black Bars Prevent Mental Scars.
%%* ChivalrousPervert - Several.
%%* CrossoverShip
%%* DeadpanSnarker - Many characters
%%* DeathIsCheap - Characters can be resurrected after even the most horrific of deaths.
* DePower - Although not strictly enforced, it is requested that very powerful characters be toned down in order to keep the game relatively fair.
%%* DistractedByTheSexy - It's highly common.
%%* DreamLand - Characters were trapped here during the [[NightmareSequence Nightmare Vortex]] curse.
%%* EasyAmnesia - Stems from various character reboots and old characters being brought in by a new player.
%%* EthicalSlut - Certain curses will make the female characters become this.
%%* FailureIsTheOnlyOption - Characters' efforts to escape on their own always result in this.
%%* {{Fanservice}} - Some days, the players just cater to their fellows and readers.
* FlatWhat - Uttered by every character during some absurd situation. Which at the moment has gone over 9000.
%%* GenreBlindness - [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in many cases due to [[FishOutOfWater characters originating from alternate times or worlds]].
%%* GenreSavvy - Some characters, especially those from canons set in modern-day Earth.
%%* GirlOnGirlIsHot - [[http://soulofocean.livejournal.com/43809.html?thread=12440865#t12440865 Umi and Fuu + Compelling Imperative to Kiss = AWWW RIGHT. Giggity.]]
%%* LoinCloth - He Who Kills sports one.
%%* MusicalEpisode - The Sing and Shout curse.
%%* NotWhatItLooksLike - Everyone has these moments but Huey Freeman looks like he's becoming the reigning champ of this trope.
%%* OvernightAgeUp - The Age Reversal curse. Characters can become either older or [[FountainOfYouth younger]].
* RaceAgainstTheClock- In a much more indirect way. The clock counts down to the end of all worlds.
%%* RunningGag - Considering how long this game has been going, there's a lot.
%%* SiblingRivalry - Characters who band together during the Family Day curse.
* SinisterSubway - The Midnight Express Train event. Characters [[SubwaysSuck trapped on a nightmarish train]] couldn't leave until the event was over, while mysterious and bloody murders took place in various compartments.
%%* SpiritAdvisor - Due to one curse, some people get their own [[Literature/HisDarkMaterials little Dæmon]].
%%* StatusQuoIsGod - Anything that might change the direction of the game is reset in some way by order of the mods. One of the main complaints against Poly.
%%* TestosteronePoisoning - The Old Spice curse.
%%* TrappedInAnotherWorld - The basic premise.
%%* TheUndead - City!dead characters
%%* WorthyOpponent - Every character typically has at least one.
