Secret Organization Craving Intelligent Enigmatic Tropers Yonder

Welcome to the home page for the Secret Organization Craving Intelligent Enigmatic Tropers Yonder (SOCIETY). To differentiate ourselves from other organizations using the term "society," please use all-caps when referring to us.

We are TV Tropes' very own "secret" organization (yet perhaps a subversion, as you may soon find out) with a secret Plan to fulfill the Great Edit. Who we are is a mystery known only to us. Are we an Ancient Conspiracy, the true Big Bad of TV Tropes, or are we just a misunderstood beneficiary group looking out for the common good for everyone? Just because secret organizations tend to be villainous doesn't mean we are villains — right?

We are an organization that exists on both sides of the fourth wall. This means that we exist as an actual troper organization but we also exist as an entity in the Troperverse. For example, we send our Dragon, Nate Port, to the Council Of Shadows and House Of Mentalism as our representative during their meetings.

Whether you believe this or not, we claim on our W-4 forms to be a Lawful Good organization, concerned with upholding the standards of TV Tropes. We accept members of most affiliations/alignments (unless we deem you a villain; but this is unlikely, so SPOONS, FORKS, KNIVES, PLATTERS members are all welcome to join). In our soon-to-come mission page, we will designate what pages to edit and what we want edited.

Perhaps we can drop subtle hints about who we are. Why are we giving you this information? We want to advance the Great Edit, of course, and disorient those who want to stand against us.

This is hard to comprehend, is it not? Indeed, many fail to comprehend the planning required for an operation of that scale. How does this help us? A secret we decline to reveal. We knowingly admit all this because we do not want any misunderstood tension (or do we?) and we want you to know that you can have an even larger part in our plans.

Perhaps because of that major spoiler our only secrets seem to be what the Great Edit is, and what we do to fulfill it. Yet that tidbit is such a tiny fragment of information, and its revelation prepares the Great Edit to proceed further, because we planned for how YOU will use that information. You are barely beginning to grasp the magnitude and reach of the SOCIETY. Pages upon pages will have links to us; you could find it as a word or even punctuation. While we seem to be only an unusual editing organization, our activities reach farther than you can imagine.

Oh, and remember when you highlighted that spoiler tag? You helped us prepare for phase 3 of the Great Edit.

Just add your name to the page and you are part of the SOCIETY! Simply add a "*" and a link to your troper page (or we will make one for you), along with a (preferably blue-linked epithet) if you so choose. In fact, if you so much as edit this page, you are automatically inducted and Resignations Not Accepted policies (which may/may not change in the future) are in full swing, so hit the ~cancel edit~ button if you do not want to join. Direct your questions to our discussion page, please.
