Not Tropeworthy: Do Not Pass Go

I came across this trope some time ago, and it seems like it needs serious help.

As the trope stands, it's about a Stock Phrase used for when something must be done immediately or when someone needs to go somewhere directly with no detours. Okay, we got ourselves one warning sign right off the bat: the trope's about a Stock Phrase, which could explain why we don't want new ones. Furthermore, there's another warning sign: oftentimes, it's used as "This work makes a specific Shout-Out to Monopoly". In fact, the example list is composed of either ZCEs or Monopoly shout outs. I doubt the wick list is any better; checked a few myself, and they seem to have the issue as well.

I'm sure there's a trope somewhere, but it needs a serious overhaul; maybe a new example list as well.

I'm thinking cut and send the basis "urgent matters, no detours" to YKTTW if the trope doesn't exist already.

Agree. Under the current definition and usage, it's pretty much just a stock phrase.

Cut and try and think of a better name and send it back to the Drawing board

Cut.

@3: Is there even anything worth salvaging from this description?

Agreeing with the cut.

It's worth mentioning on Memes.Tabletop Games, but doesn't deserve a page of its own.

^^ I for one think the concept itself is tropable, but as it stands this page is more a meme than a trope. Cut it completely then; if someone wants to start a new YKTTW they can.

Looking back, there probably won't be much to salvage, so I'm fine with an outright cut.

Looking at what's there, I'm for Cut and if someone wants to head to YKTTW after, they're welcome to it.

Since nothing else has been suggested, I made a crowner for that option.

It's hooked, thanks.

With the vote standing at 14-0 after five days, the crowner looks ready to call.

All wicks have been removed and it's on the Cut List.
