In fact, all of this has been a part of my elaborate scheme, and all your pathetic troping has just helped me bring it one-quarter complete. Fools.
If you can say "but what if he does this?" and that will mess up everything, then it's a Batman Gambit. If things do go wrong, but the person keeps adjusting things so that Plan-A works anyway, he's playing Xanatos Speed Chess. If all reasonably possible outcomes are desirable, then it's a Xanatos Gambit. But if you say afterwards "Okay, there is NO WAY he could possibly have known that that would happen!" it's a Xanatos Roulette. If someone ruins the evil plan by accident, the person is a Spanner In The Works. If someone ruins the good guys' attempt against the evil plan by doing something very minor, they are a Swiss Messenger. If someone ruins the plan by design, said plan is Out Gambitted. If someone actually sees all the plans, then that person can sometimes Take A Third Option. And if there is no way for the planner to have known that option was even possible, then he Didnt See That Coming. If you think you won, but actually did exactly what the other person wanted, you are a Xanatos Sucker. If the person's own death was factored into a favorable outcome, then it's a Thanatos Gambit. Simply furthering the plot doesn't qualify you as one. And when every character seems to have their own Xanatos Gambit, then a Thirty Xanatos Pile Up may ensue.
