In order to ensure the best experience with our products, The Trope Co.® Board Of Directors would like to extend to you our pledge that Utopia can and will be reached with our combined efforts! Together, we can make the world... a better place!
And just to show our transparent and accessible corporate structure, anyone can be in our Board Of Directors! That's right! All it takes to qualify is making or contributing to one of Trope Co.®'s many wonderful products and a quick trip to The Barber.

- Cleaning up a place like Trope Co.® can be pretty scary, what with all the Super Prototypes that have been left in suspiciously bad places and Giant Space Fleas From Nowhere wandering around, so Trope Co.® has found it necessary to 'hire' a Janitorial Guard to protect the Janitors and Temp Janitors on their runs. - NARFNra . Irritatingly enough, his incredibly low stamina and constant respawning upon death actually leave more to clean up after he comes through than when he started.
- That one weird hermit dude who lives in the basement and fixes computers with dark voodoo magic - pocketpc
