Well, more like Just a Caption and a Caption.

The image tells you absolutely nothing. It is merely a picture of the trope namer, but does not actually show the trope.

Does nothing for the page at all.

It doesn't distract from the trope. Well, it doesn't distract more than the name already does.

Usually I find that an image has at least some value if it's the trope namer, but not this time. No, this is just stupid.

I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!

Quick screenshot from Heroes Of Might And Magic 3: 1. I can take one of the other resources too if gold/wood/mercury/sulphur/crystal/gems are preferred.

Though I might have misunderstood something here - is the trope really just "there are resources in your world" and that's it?

The trope is "you need some ressource for the game". Hence, the proposal ^ is not very strong, as it lacks the "you need" bit.

Any other thoughts on these? I'm not where I can look at them right now and we need to decide if we're going to act on of these or just lock up.

The second, simpler one could work; it may be worth seeing. I'm not a fan of the first.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No further action is to be taken based on this thread.
