What is this trope?

Well, I can answer that: A little something written many seasons ago by a certain newbie back before he learned about a little thing we call "the YKTTW". ;)

The Example as a Thesis doesn't seem to have a clear definition, and there's noticeable overlap with Cores-and-Turrets Boss. Seven wicks (with only one index) and zero inbounds definitely attest that it isn't accumulating any love.

I'm of the opinion to "cut and send to YKTTW", or in light of the Ridiculously Similar Trope, simply cut. Thoughts?

It could certainly use some YKTTW love.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

Do we still need to do something here?

My opinion is "cut without YKTTW", too much overlap with Cores-and-Turrets Boss.

Well, this trope still isn't healthy. That said, I'm not sure I see the resemblance between "the room is the boss" (this one) and "the boss consists of things you can shoot, and things that shoot you" (cores and turrets boss).

Shall we kick this back to YKTTW?

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

I can YKTTW it proper, sure. However there's a murky line between "the room itself" and "something within the room" (Cores-and-Turrets Boss encapsulates the latter pretty well).

Anyway, YKTTW ready, cutlist filed.
