First of all, the name's less than transparent. Guess That Trope? Nope, it's not a Missing Supertrope for Non-Entity General and Entity General.

It also noticeably overlaps with Faction Calculus.

My guess is that it's a snowclone of An Adventurer Is You, and checking, that does seem like what was intended.

Personal failure to play Guess That Trope though is not a valid argument for renaming (possible exception for newly launched tropes, especially if the launcher ignored complaints about the name during YKTTW). For established tropes, you have to show misuse or underuse. To prove misuse, you need to do a wick check.

Overlap with another trope is a separate question, and one we can certainly consider.

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

Please pay attention to the TRS rules that pop up when you create a new thread - if you're claiming a name is bad, you have to provide evidence of misuse or underuse. Feel free to reopen this thread after you have a wick check that shows one or the other.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.
