Here is how the game works: The above troper (Troper 1) will provide a scene/premise for The next poster (Troper 2) to work with. This may be done with either a video clip of any fictional work or through written text. If posting a video clip, please remember four things:

  • One, the spoiler policy applies. If you would talk about the scene with spoiler tags in the work's article(s), don't post the video. Likewise, if the video has spoilerific content at all, don't risk that either.

  • Two, do not embed the video links. Some tropers have a hard time loading 2 videos at once let alone a whole page of them. Instead, use the classic [[(video link) text]] to let all tropers load the video as their leisure.

  • Three, the scene in question should be about 2-3 minutes at the most. Use Youtube's time parser in the share tab (located below the video screen) if necessary, or specify a particular time frame in your post.

  • Four, keep it Safe for Work. When it comes to things that have slipped the censors, please exercise your best judgement.

Then, it's the next poster's job (Troper 2) to become the director and "redirect the scene" to make it more interesting — whether "interesting" means simply better, funnier, more awkward, or just outright be cruel with it. Afterwards, (s)he will either share another video clip or write out a new scene.

Text Example.

  • Troper 1: A mama bird is building a nest to lay her eggs in.

  • Troper 2: While building the nest, the bird farted and laid the eggs prematurely by accident.

Video Example:

  • Troper 1: Kagami breathes fire.

  • Troper 2: She actually manages to trigger the fire alarm with that breath.

I'll start simple:

After The Hero left his Doomed Hometown, he begrudgingly accepts his destiny to defeat the Big Bad.

These two may literally be more bark than bite, but they are no less tenacious than everyone else.

He is killed by a sniper before he even reaches the next town.

The villain's Gambit Roulette has just succeeded, and his objective is complete with the heroes in a perfect position to be killed.

He found it on a mountain near his house. As he picked up the shoe, he got bit by a venomous spider, which caused him to scream in pain, triggering a landslide which killed the entire town below.
