^ that's sounds like one hell of a long camping trip.

^^^ uh, [[HumorMode what next? "You have a very inadequate definition of X"?]]

dude,  SeptimusHeap perfectly explains in that thread why "camping trip" is a bad name for ''this''(as it seems to have been about camping as a setting for plot from the start).

"CampingTrip is about camping" vs "CampingEpisode is ''about how it fits into the larger scheme of the series.''"

[[StrawManFallacy for arguments sake]] lets assume we're using trope names exclusively for our definitions, then we'll most likely get examples like:

SomeMedia
* In ''The FiveManBand Show'', the titular band goes into one ''a lot''. since they're WalkingTheEarth and have PerpetualPoverty. on the other hand Emperor Evulz is so rich he has servants for who do ''everything'' for him so he can just [[PeopleSitOnChairs sit on his throne]].
----

sounds okay at first, but you'll notice that the fact that they go camping doesn't actually do anything in the story, they literally are just "going camping often" like how Evulz is just sitting on his chair, we don't really know ''how'' the camping turns out or how Evulz sits on his chair. so in other words, these "tropes" don't even count as NarrativeFiligree as they don't add any depth or interesting details in the narrative.
